The first thing of importance that we did was to elect the following officers: Nathiel Losch, president, Beatrice Brown, vice president, and Tom Fisher, secretary and treasurer. We entered into a contest with the other classes, the object of which was for each class to try to avoid having the smallest per cent of attendance at the football games. Of course we lost and as a penalty we gave the rest of the school a party which was such a success that the three succeeding freshmen classes have not had the courage to try to equal it. This ended our career as freshmen. At the beginning of the next school year we felt, as sophomores, much more assured of our position in high school life than we had the preceding fall. This year our leaders were: Wealthy DeWolf, president, Aden Gary, vice president, and Quigg Lewis, secretary and treasurer. Our social events this year consisted of a class party in the fall and in February a trip to the Art Institute followed by a theater party which was greatly enjoyed by all. The close of this year marked the end of the first half of our high school life.. When we came back the next fall as juniors we felt very much grown up due, no doubt, to the fact that we were permitted to sit in the study hall with the seniors. This year our officers were: Frank Conley, presi- dentg Virginia Wilson, vice-president, and Irving Beebe, secretary and treasurer. In the fall we joined the seniors in giving a party which was our only party during the year. In May we presented the junior play, Scenes From an Italian Garden, which was in fact. The Taming of the Shrew. This was reported to be one of the best plays ever given by the school, due largely to the good management of Mrs. Jewett and Miss Allum. The proceeds of the play were used in giving the departing ll I lIIII ill ll Illllll I Il ll Ill

This closed our junior year and left us eagerly looking forward to our senior year. The next fall our fondest hopes were realized. We were seniors. Our selection of officers for this year was: Kendrick Hull, president, Cath- erine Acker, vice-president, Virginia Wilson, corresponding secretary: Tom Fisher, secretary, and Julian Sterenberg, treasurer. Being busy with the annual and other things we have had only one party, but that one was a success in every way. There are forty in the graduating class, which is one of the largest in the history of the school. Six boys and three girls have been together since entering the first grade. We have been very well represented in athletics by: Grange, Plummer, Conley, Creelman, Beebe, Clark, and others. For the last two years Wheaton teams have been very successful. This, in brief, is the history of the class of 1922 and we feel that it is a record of which to be proud. We hope in parting that wherever We go and whatever we do we may always be a credit to Wheaton High QCIIOOI.
