Washington Union High School WASHINGTONIAN Page Seventeen SENIOR CLASS HISTORY Four short years ago we, the class of ’24 started on our high school career with an enrollment of seventy-five. We were shy and bewildered for the first few weeks as we were daily encountering strange faces and the entire place was new to us. This shyness was also new to us so that it was not long before we felt as important as the Seniors did. Labor Day, the day most dreaded by the Freshmen of all the year, came. Everything went fine until almost noon. Then the fun began for the rest of the school. We were arrayed before all of the girls and were made to perform for their amusement. Our hair was taken down and our faces painted. We certainly were a pretty looking sight. Al¬ though we were somewhat frightened we survived the day. Soon our Freshmen year ended and we became dignified Sopho¬ mores. During our second year we gave several parties to the school. As Juniors, our most important social affair was the Junior-Senior Dinner. We worked hard over this but we felt proud of the event when it was over. Five long tables were arranged in the form of a star. In the center, where the tables came togetlier, a fountain was built with rim¬ ing water. Around the edge of the fountain there was an embankment of flowers and ferns. The tables were also decorated with flowers and ferns. This event was a great success. We also gave a party at the Coun¬ try Club House, to tlie entire school, during our Junior Year. We must not forget to mention the part the class of ’24 has taken in athletics. Throughout our four years at high school our class has been noted for its fine athletes. In interclass games we have usually taken first place. When playing outside games the class of ’24 has always been well represented in the teams. In all too short a time our Senior Year was reached. Now that we are Seniors we regret that our liigh school days will so soon be over. Our class has dwindled down from time to time, some having quit to engage in different lines of work, while others have moved away to new places. Although only thirty-five out of tlie seventy-five remain to com¬ plete the race, we still have one of tlie largest classes to graduate from old W. U. H. S. Taking the class as a whole it is a well-balanced, promis¬ ing, and dignified one.
