1922 LOOKOUT Junior Class History September 2, 1919. What an epochal (lav it was for the brilliant Freshman Class. Forty-five of us there were—of all sizes, shapes, colors, dispositions, and makeups. Our wobbly footsteps were ably guided by Clifford Kysor as president, Florence Paterson as vice-president, and Priscilla Milbert as secretary and treasurer. Our first worry was the Freshman initiation, which in realization was not as bad as in anticipation. The return party we gave was a costume Hallowe’en affair. After the fire, with the rest of the students, we moved to the Congregational church, where we were given that much desired and honored place, the front pews. The year 1920 found us settled for the year in never-to-be-forgotten Town Hall. Out of our class of thirty-three members we picked Florence Paterson as president, Pearl Kreatz as vice-president, and Francis Filiatreau took care of the minutes and the cash. Our Sophomore year was characterized by numerous parties and programs, in which we took a prominent part. Class Day found us again flaunting our colors. Orange and Black. Our Junior year finds us in the new schoolhouse. Our brilliant class has increased to thirty-four members. At our first class meeting we elected Clifford Held to fill the position of presi-dent, Robert Spencer as vice-president, Helen Peck as secretary, and Marie Kxstrom as treasurer. As far as being talented is concerned, the Juniors of ’22 cannot be excelled. We have taken a leading part in all affairs of school life, such as in programs, in story-writing, and in athletics. We are now spending much time on our class play. “Safety First.” which we are certain will reach a high excellence. Next year, we shall be Seniors, and there is absolutely no doubt but that we will be the brightest, most talented, largest, most intellectual and liveliest class that ever graduated from Wayzata High School!

1922 LOOKOUT Sophomore Class History The teachers in the grades would have been astounded could they have foreseen what kind of a class they were helping to form. We traveled with great rapidity through the sixth, seventh and eighth grades. The marks in the grade books which were accumulated during that time excel the marks of all the other classes. When we came into High School as Freshmen, we were fifty strong. Among the fifty were a few persons of great intellect while the rest were favored with average everyday minds, such as the writer’s. We were so brilliant in our work that the teachers left Wayzata knowing much more than they did when they came. Shortly after school opened there was held an event which set all of us immediately planning revenge. Oh. the things we were to do, and the tortures we were to inflict. In a way, we pitied the future Freshmen. But, then. Well, after all we must admit that our Freshman year was very successful. Those of us who had “dug’’ sufficiently were promoted to the rank of Sophomores. Then came vacation. After that long period of studying (?). we came back to our uplifted station. But, alas! No Freshmen to initiate. Consoling ourselves as best we could, we put our superfluous energy on our studies. At least, most of us did. Some showed a disposition to lag. This year found that our class had grown to sixty-odd. As a class we were prominent in everything—athletics, also along literary lines. Our brilliancy shone the brightest in the various entertainments given. And now, after two years of toil, we are about to l e made Juniors. Ah, well, you shall hear from us again. CLASS OF ’24. On Class Day, we made a lasting impression through our vivid colors, Orange and Black.
