lkecurh uf Zuniur Cllllass Setting forth the story of this class will only be a small portion of the record, so broad and vast being the experiences of the members, that only the common experiences that concern the class as a whole can be related here. V The members of this class are not only drawn from our own state but from neighboring states, even from the Gulf of Mexico to the Arctic Circle. The class was organized by George Knuteson, president of the senior class, in October, 1908 and the following officers were elected for a term of six months: President, Yictor I. Durkeeg Vice President, Benjamin R. Billings, Treasurer, Blanche Howe, Secretary, Marie Bleesg Sergt. at Arms, Marquis Doyle. - Thus the class started as an organized body of Freshmen into our school life. The Fresh- man class-well, I suppose was all that the name suggested, until we became more familiar with the school. - There were several social events during the year, among which was the Freshman-junior reception which was the most eventful for us as it was the first one we gave. lt was considered a success, but the parties we had for our own benefit were successes beyond a doubt. The Freshmen year closes with its members scattered far and wide and with the following oiiicers elected for the junior year: President, Howard H. Danielsong Vice-President, james H. Kemptong Treasurer, Leslie T. Lathrop, Secretary, Miss Bessie Leonard, Sergt.-at-Arms, Victor I. Drake. The opening of the Junior year found several of our members missing. They had taken up other occupations and had started in on the race of life. Among these was Miss Leonard, our secretary. This place was filled by Hazelle Patterson. But all of the remaining members of the class were firm in the belief that we had chosen the right course to be followed. The continual digging, the cramming and the everlasting hustling is found to be harder than that of the Freshman year. They do not feel as young and gay as when they were Freshmen. The wear and tear of the school life shows traces and makes them look more on the serious side of life. After Xmas of the junior year we elected Mr. and Mrs. Ruggles god parents of our class. This is a fitting time for the closure of this brief record, as the best act we have performed is the last one. And as people are generally rememberefl by the last impression they leave, we will close while ours are so high. L. T. LATHROP Page Tlziriy-eight
