History of Senior Class Four years ago in August we started out in our respective high school busses for our first day at dear old Washington, (but we didn’t think of it as “dear’ 1 that day). We had heard of the pranks and jokes of which we might be the victims, and we were not exactly thrilled at the prospect. Anyway, we made the grade, and made it in high. Out of fifty odd that started on that glorious August day, only nineteen have stayed and finished the race. Some have dropped out and many have moved to other schools. When our first class meeting was held we felt exceedingly proud and grown up, and as we were timid and bashful the meet¬ ing was conducted in a very orderly manner. From that time on, we have elected our class officers with no trouble involved. At the date of the writing of this history none of us have ven¬ tured out upon the sea of life, so we have not been able to distin¬ guish ourselves as yet. Although one, who started with us in 1919, Miss Van Ness Gardiniere, has become a well known and accomp¬ lished dancer. Taking the class as a whole it has been a success. We gave a Freshman party, Sophomore party, Junior dinner, all of which we thoroughly enjoyed, and our activities as Seniors have excelled those of our other three years. Our scholarship record has always been high. All who know our class and our records will point to us as a class of distinction.
