But we weren ' t quite so green as we looked, for a little of our true color peeped through when Bun Grube made first team in football and Anne Robertson, in basketball, which, if you don ' t already know it, is an unusual thing to happen in a Freshman class. By this time you probably have the impression that we were nothing but one hundred and ninety little ignorant devils, if you ' ll pardon the expression. Well, perhaps we were — but wait. n. Back we came for another year, much more sophisticated and worldly wise. It is queer what one short summer will do to a freshman. It changes him from an insignificant creature to a lofty individual, who deems it much beneath him to even stoop to notice those little new green things who are crawling along the halls. We should have re- membered our former days of torture, the watering trough and the sprint around the block in bare feet. We should have had some com- passion for them, but our becoming Sophomores had so increased the circumference of our heads, and had so filled it with self-satisfaction that no room was left for such a thing as compassion. This was the year that put 22 into the limelight. We supplied the football team with these members, Capt. Spiekerman, Grube, Friske, and Scheib. To the basketball teams we contributed Charles Grube, Paul Hackett, Helen Carr and Katherine Kaltenbach. The Interclass Basketball Championship was awarded to us, and Josephine Rutledge distinguished our class by bringing home the honors from the declamation contest. Our Soph. Frolic : — Well we need not even describe it. Everyone remembers it as the best party that has ever been given at A. H. H. S. We ended our social season and said farewell to our Sophomore year, with a class picnic at Riverside Park. Everyone had loads of fun and it has always been a reminder of our good times during our second year at high school. Our wonderful success as a class can be accounted for by the names of our leaders: President Joe Friske Vice President Sadie Doerfner Secretary Ada Giles Treasurer Olga Raupp III. Well now, we ' re Juniors. Twenty-two has passed successfully through two years and now we came back with the sole object of mak- ing our class the most noted in the history of Arthur Hill, and it must be added, we did it.

.x ' ' W CLASS HISTDeV There are many kinds of history-, and you have probably had a taste of at least three kinds, perhaps four; but we are not going to bore you with anything as dry as The Conquest of Persia, nor yet the Landing of the Pilgrims. Before you, we are placing the history of the class of ' 22, beginning with the proverbial green freshman, and ending with the dignified senior of the maroon and white. On Sept. 7, 1918, there came timidly to the door of Arthur Hill, what was destined to become the peppiest, most alive group of gradu- ates, whose departure from Arthur Hill has ever been mourned. But to look at us, you never could have guessed all this, for despite our large number, we were not a very imposing looking group. When we look back to 1918, it seems but a few months since we were a group of irresponsible children. A quotation from the class secretary just about sums us up: Our Class Motto — Study if Necessary. Our Class Song — There ' ll be no Party There. Our Class Hope — That we Would Not Entirely Disappoint Our Teachers. For our officers we chose : President Charles Grube Vice - President George Ames Secretary -- Helen Southgate Treasurer Henry Snyder As freshmen we didn ' t do much unless it was to cut up, and we proved to be the bane of Miss Davis ' life. We gave one party at Social Hall, an all-freshman affair, which was — well its social success was questionable. We didn ' t give a big party because we weren ' t supposed to know enough to, and because the principal didn ' t think we studied enough to deserve one.

Our attitude toward the Freshmen and Sophomores was indiffer- ent now, for we were much more developed mentally and less given to childish pranks, characteristics of former years. Bun Grube was nominated and re-elected to his second term of office in the presidential chair. The other officers were: Vice President Paul Hackett Secretary Ada Giles Treasurer Raymond Scheib We are proud of all we did this year but this is what we consider the most noteworthy thing. Eight out of the football eleven were Juniors, including Capt. Spiekerman, Grube, Friske, Hackett, Goash, Pearson, Scheib and Hawkins. On the basketball teams we were represented by Paul Hackett, Joe Friske, Charles Grube, Raymond Scheib, Helen Garr, Grace Car- michael and Jane Williams. On Feb. 15, we gave our J Hop. It was a big social hit, the best of the year, but financially, it wasn ' t such a big success. We went in the hole about forty dollars, but it didn ' t worry us much, for we made it up and more, when we presented The Big Idea, with Donna Don- nelly and Don Metcalf playing leading roles. Albertine Schmidtke brought us to light in yet another phase of school life, debating. Our class rings were ordered early in the year and arrived some time before Christmas. Every one was pleased with the neat and plain design. The pattern is a large 1922 surrounded by Arthur Hill High School in small letters. Just a gentle reminder that we were the next class to go. We gave the Seniors a big banquet during Commencement week, and the banquet hall at the Canoe Club was filled to the limit. Several speeches and toasts were given and then we were presented with the traditional horn, which we were able to keep from the hands of the Sophomores. Then dancing was enjoyed by everyone. The Seniors showed their appreciation of the banquet by a return given at Wenona Beach a few days later. The rain dampened a few spirits for a short time, but nevertheless, it was an honest-to-goodness picnic. IV. When the next September rolled around, we had at least attained a place on that envied pinnacle — the Senior Class. Now we were the wisest, most looked-up-to group in the school, and we could casually view the rest of the students from our envied perch. In our newly ac- quired dignity we at first felt that Seniors needed no leaders to guide them safely through the year, but about a month later we changed our minds and met to elect the following officers:
