Senior Class History
In September, 1880. eight men '
bers of the class of 1912 began their
elementary education in the old
Jones Building on West Mckay 81.
Our first grade teacher was Miss
Marjorie MacQueep. The next years
passed fleetly and we learned our
lessons under the expert guidance
Of Miss Prosser, Miss HornbeclN
Miss Mary Morden. Miss Esther
Bowen, and Mrs Hutzel.
Like every other class, we We're
anxious to go upstairs Finally
the long-awaited day arrived when
we entered the seventh grade. Strug-
Cling through the trials and trib-
ulations" of junior high school was
de easier by the help of Mrs.,
c ace Moors and Donald Rock.
In 1898 we proudly entered the
ninth grade and became full
fledged members of the high school.
Glass officers were duly elected,
the president being Clayton Royal.
Numerous parties and good times
were carried out under the sponsor
ship of Don Francisco and CharleSS
Jewell. ?
Passing into our sophomore year,
our class president was Fred Grune-
wald, and our sponsors Elmer Bic
KEEL and Mrs. Ruth DinnellY.
Nothing OF great Importance oc-
cured in our sophomore year out
side of the general round OF parties
and good times.
I'VE really got Into the swing on
things and began ito feel our
oats" when we entered the elev-
.enth grade, Our class officers were:
president. Dot Little vice presi-
dent, Bob Worden; secretarv MARI
ann Baker; and treasurer, Doris
Jean Davis. We experienced our
first big undertaking when We put :
on our junior play entitled, TIE
Haunted High School" However,
due to the fine cooperation Of the
class, the cast. the sponsors. Mrs.
Washburn and Mr.. O'Bradovich, and
the director, Mrs. Lee, the play was
an unhoped-for success. The crown
ing social event of the year was the
annual J-Hop. Our theme was patr-
otto, the gym being decorated inS
red, white, and blue crepe paper
with a large liberty bell suspended
from a dome in the gym. Everyone
the class, the sponsors, Mr..
Harms, and our mothers-pitched IN
and made May % the great success
that It was.
Now we entered the twelfth grads
and we were the high and mighty y
seniors. Our class sponsors were
Mr.. Bickel and Mr.. Bearss, and our
class officers were as follows: pres
ident. Ruth Bauman: vice president
Leonard Burmeister; secretary,
Irene Finkbeiner; treasurer. Mary
Thomas. Due to world conditions we
were unable to plan trip to Wash 4
ington so we decided on boat trip
through the Great Lakes. We raised
the necessary money for this by our
Senior Play, sponsoring Senior
Prom and many banquets, bake
sales, collecting paper. selling mag
azine subscriptions and Christmas
cards, putting on numerous dances,
and snOnsoring two shows. We atss
tanned our goal when we left on our
trip May %.
