Besides these events, many Freshmen were to be found in the High School Chorus and at all athletic games. Our officers for the first year were: president, Walter Campbell; vice-president, Celestia Dewey ; treasurer. Johndeval Stanton; sergeant-at-arms, Sidney Weiner; class adviser, Miss Liggett. In the year of ’22 we met again, but this time under the name Sophomores. That year we were more enthusiastic and took part more readily in athletics and social events. We gave a Garden Party in May to the other three classes of Whiting High. The affair was so artistic that it will long be remembered by members of other classes as well as our own classmen. That year, Geneva Miller and Margaret White took part in the Oratorical Contest and as many as fifteen of our classmen were in the chorus. We elected the following officers: president, Celestia Dewey; vice-president, Walter Campbell; secretary and treasurer, Marion Bought; class adviser, Miss Nelson. This year in ’23, we met as Juniors. And this time we are nearer the top of the ladder and have but one more step to take. Our officers for this year are: president, Celestia Dewey; Vice-president, James Parker; secretary, Walter Campbell; treasurer, Sidney Weiner; class adviser. Miss Nelson. This year we have taken a more active part in our play, “The Thirteenth Chair,” in November. The play was a huge success and witnessed by a full house. In the High School Operetta some twenty Juniors took part and did their best to make it the success that it was. In the Oratorical Contest of this year, Geneva Miller, Marie Greenwald and James Parker took part. Geneva won third place in the final local preliminaries and we are expecting greater things from her next year in this work. The class was also well represented in the chorus this year. Besides the oratorical and chorus work, Willard Allison, Art Hainan, Earl Girard, Paul Kilkeary, Eugene Grigson and Edward Witter made a fine showing for themselves, class, and school in basketball. The Juniors were also well represented in the crowd of faithful rooters at each basketball, football, and baseball game and did their full share in supporting the teams. The class was also well represented in Whiting High School Orchestra and Band. We are very proud of our class and record, so far, and we feel that we will be able to take our place as Seniors next year and fulfill the part as efficiently as those who have gone before. Here’s to the departing class of ’24 and to the new class of ’25! C. H. D. Twpnt v-fonp
