0112155 lqiatnrg HARRIET NIVEN ,A day never to be forgotten-that day when we, the entering freshmen of 191 K, set out upon a Journey of four years toward that great and glorious ised land of graduation and the possession of thirty credits. There was ndfhcizi but sunshine and rejoicing on that wonderful day in September when we entereg the immense assembly room, and Mr. Cassidy announced regular school work would not begin for several days or until our new and magnificent high school was completed. Thus the Class of 1921 had a decided advantage over the other entering classes, in as much as everyone was at a loss in the new school, sophomores, Juniors and, seniors were equally confused in finding their way from period 10 period. As time proceeded, however, we ignorant little freshmen learned the general routine of this new school life, discovered the value of a pink slip marked excused and fulfilled our express duty, which was to ask our dear teachers any perplexing questions that might arise in our scarcely developed minds, and so afford sufficient amusement for the upperclassmen. But it was not long before we found our- selves. Murmurings arose and it was said that a king should be chosen from our tribe to guide us wisely and safely beyond the attacks of sophomore, junior and senior which did thickly beset our way. And after much talking and confusion we decided to entrust our welfare to Jean Brown. Mr. Neiderhauser was appointed as our faculty advisor. Mr. Neiderhauser was also athletic coach, and therefore had a little time to spend with his newly acquired' proteges. However, our first social function, the Frolic under Mr. Neiderhauser's supervision, was a rollicking success. We can never forget the unsurpassable refreshments served at the Frolicg pretty red and white sticks of candy in half of a lemon. Though there were no other strictly class functions that year, we enlarged the memberships of the various organizations and took advantage of every chance to prove our merit. Time sped on so quickly that we soon found we were in our sophomore year. In the class basketball contests the 1921 class walked off with the championship. In this year we were concerned particularly with events of national importance, putting our energies into Y. M. C. A. work, Red Cross work, as it was in this year that the Great War ended. We had no sophomore party due to the fact that social functions were elimi- nated because of the epidemic of influenza. A great deal of time was lost due to the epidemic and so school days were spent in earnest study. This concluded our underclassmenship and we were now ready to begin upon the two more im- portant years of our high school career. . In the beginning of our junior year we elected John Byers, as presidentg Bernice Daugherty, vice-president, Ralph Teig, secretary, and Mabel Preston, treasurer. The Class of ,21 began in this year to really make themselves known, and were recognized as a body of students of considerable importance. Every- thing that the class undertook was a success, for this considerable of the credit is due to our splendid advisor, Miss King, who succeeded Mr. Neiderhauser, The Junior Prom was given November 27, 1919, and was a marked SUCCESS- The decorations were simple, beautiful, and artistic, and our committee proved themselves efficient managers in every detail of the work. No one there that evening will ever forget the fairyland effect created by hundreds of vari-colored balloons and paper streamers. According to our custom our boys turned out strong for football, basketball and baseball. Wilber Herrett, Ed Rector and Don Stewart represented the JuH101 class in debate. Page Fourteen
