C THE ; ECLIPSE • 1922 flower respectively. In spite of our ups and downs which were the natural outcome of so many different individuals trying to decide upon one thing, we entertained the Seniors of ' 21 at a reception at the home of Freda Barr. The rooms were decorated in the colors and flowers of the two classes. The evening was spent in playing various games after which refreshments were served. All present had a very delight- ful time. The year closed very successfully because the entire class was promoted to the Senior Year. September of 1921 called us back to our old places. Marjorie Gold- smith and Oleta Smith failed to answer the roll call. Marjorie ans- wered the roll in Washington, while Oleta dropped out of school. Never- theless there were eighteen Seniors, because Hayward Speidel and Re- lendes Wood put on their skates and caught up with the class after they had slipped and fallen in 1920. The year before us seemed very much crowded with work. Besides laboring with our studies, we se- lected our class pins and rings, made arrangement for putting out a High School Annual to be called The Eclipse, and did the many other things which confront a graduating class. We do not know whether the class of 1922 has benefitted the High School but we do know that we have profited by our attendance here the past four years. Some of our number are distinguished by being on the football team, or basketball teams. Others are members of the High School orchestra and Girls ' Glee Club. Still others are valuable assets to the Literary Societies and the other high school activities. The class of ' 22 has the distinction of being the largest class to graduate from the Wayland High School and the first class to gradu- ate from the Consolidated School District of Wayland. —0. G. W.

WW THE • ECLIPSE • 1922 Senior Class History In September 1918, there came a band of twenty-five lively, ener- getic, and mysterious wanderers into Wayland High School. Myster- ious! No! Not to ourselves but we seemed to be to the upper class- men. The Seniors of ' 19 and ' 20 could not get over laughing and remarking about the wild and peculiar Freshies. We were good sports and took it good naturedly. We wrestled with our studies, ex- aminations, and other difficulties which appeared during the year (such as influenza,) coming out victorious. However, the studies and exams conquered four of our number and we were compelled to leave them in the Freshman class for another year. The following autumn twenty one cheerful pilgrims (so to speak,) plus Mabel Rich of Crawfordsville, took up the Sophomore duties. Long will be remembered the happy hours spent in the northeast class room where we abode most of the time under the supervision of Mrs. Baum- gartner. This was due to the overcrowded condition in the assembly room. During this year we were compelled to say goodbye to Alta Bos- hart, who left for California. After energetic and concentrated study we overcame the hardships of Geometry, Medieval and Modern His- tory and Latin. We had several social gatherings during the year, in- cluding the picnic at Fern Cliff the last afternoon of school. The pic- nic was certainly enjoyed by all present although the majority had sore arms as a result of the smallpox vaccination. We departed feeling cer- tain we would enjoy a pleasant vacation and again assemble the follow- ing school year. But a few weeks later, Dwight Musselman departed to his future home in Bluffton, Ohio. In September 1920, seventeen of our number, and Oleta Smith of Mt. Pleasant, entered High School. The building having been altered during the summer, made it seem unnatural for a few days. We had several social gatherings during the year, including the field trips con- nected with our study of Biology, and diffe rent class meetings. We chose Silver and Old Rose, and the Tea Rose for our class colors and Page Nineteen
