JANUS 24 19 CLASS HISTORY In the fall of 1921, we entered the Westville Township High School, a Freshmen class of twenty-eight. However, most of us were not as green as Freshies usually are as we had attended the seventh and eighth grade in the High School building. We organized our class, electing Helen Williams, president. The class as a whole took a real interest in athletics, and it is. perhaps, due to that early interest which has made it possible for our class to produce some of the best athletes Westville High School has ever had. Our Freshmen athletes were members of the football and basket ball squads and track team. The Freshmen girls organized their basketball team and started out early in the year. Socially we did not star. yet. we made an excellent record. As we progressed along we entered our Sophomore year, which proved more successful as we had passed that somewhat green stage. ()ur class became smaller as we lost six of our original number. Wesley Hickman was elected our class president. Our class was represented by three girls in semi-chorus, two boys in dramatics and in athletics we took a prominent place. Then we became proud Juniors with John Hissong for our class president. Vre decided to continue the publication of the Westville High, a newspaper begun by the class of the preceding year. With Wesley Hickman editor-in-chief, the paper became rapidly a great factor in our High School life. We were especially proud of our Junior boys, who met with great success in athletics. Seven of the Junior boys received letters in football and five of them received medals at the close of the basket ball season. Our girls together with the Seniors of '23 won the Girls’ Basketball Tournament. Two of our girls won places in semi-chorus and we distinguished ourselves in dramatics and in scholarship as well. Though it seems but a month, it was nine months ago we entered High School as Seniors. In preparation for the activities we expected to take up, we again elected John Hissong our class president and made Wesley Hickman the editor-in-chief-of our annual. With nine of our boys on the football squad Westville High won the Vermillion County County Football pennant. Such stars as Tony Balser. George Kedulis. Kldwine Jones and Charles Simpson, on our basketball team, won their way to fame, while Mary I.ietard and Anna Mellen cheered them on. )ur girls have had their athletic teams as well. In dramatics, orchestra and literary contests, members of our class could be found doing their share for Westville High. Our scholarship has been high, seven of our members making the Honor Roll It is therefore with regret that we leave behind us this High School where we have found both pleasure and scholastic advancement possible. But with the knowledge we have acquired here, as a stepping stone toward higher things, we feel that, “The future we may face now we have proved the past. —Jessie Slazas, ’24 iiuitiiHiilHiiiiMiiiiintiitiunroniiiiwiinnitmMUvnM
