SENIOR CLASS HISTORY On September 5, 1921, four very much frightened young people were found seeking admittance to Warrensburg Community High School. A short time later in the same year two more joined the class bringing the total to six for the year. During the year several parties were held. One, a Hallowe’en party and the other given by the Freshmen and Sophomores in honor of the Juniors and Seniors. The class contributed to athletics and other student activities. The principle student activity of the year was the operetta, “Miss Cherryblossom,” in which most of the class took part. The class acted as all true Freshmen should, by taking part in the activities of the school, and by giving the upper classmen the awed attitude that so delights them. The class neither increased or decreased in size the next year. That year proved to be more eventful for the members of the class. During that year the orchestra was started and three members of the class contributed to that organization. The same year track was started and our class was also represented in that sport. The year closed with all members agreeing that they had spent a very successful year. The enrollment of the Junior class of 1924 dropped from six to five which made our class the smallest in the school. During the year the class took a prominent part in the play, “Star Bright.” The class also gave a banquet to the Seniors at the close of the school year, thus keeping the custom that had been started the previous year. The class always kept before themselves, the necessity of education so it was only natural that all of the members of the class were back to enroll as Seniors. The graduating class of 1925 entered Warrensburg Community High School and enrolled as High School students for the last time. They had the privilege and honor of being the first graduated class to spend the entire school year in the beautiful new school building which was ready for occupation at the close of the school year 1924. The size of the class was increased to six during the early part of the year but dropped back again to five when one of the members moved away. Although we have had the disadvantage of being a small class, we feel that our class has been very successful due to advice and help from our teachers. We realize the need of more education and although this concludes our work in High School we are planning for larger things in advanced education. Paul G. Waggoner. Twenty-one
