We enrolled in High School in the year Nineteen Hundred and Twenty-Five with a total of forty-nine members. They came in from the graded schools of the town and from the different districts of the county. We met for the organization of our class and with the help of our teachers we elected Nancy Michael president. Rachel Hunter vice-president, and Leona Barnes secretary and treasurer. Our class colors were old rose and tan. As a rule every Freshman class must pass through the “green” stage of school life. We were not exempt from that stage as we did not seem to have the true High School spirit at first. We do not present a picture in last year’s Annual and as a result we received many taunts and a nickname from the older students. But beneath it all there lies the true High School spirit, and as we go on in school we are going to work together toward attaining the height of the ladder of learning. Those who were honor students were Agnes Shirley and Rachel Hunter. Nancy Michael was president of the Literary Society. We also have evidence of some who bid fair to become star athletes. We have climbed the first step in the ladder of learning. Although we met with many discouragements during the first part of the year, we were determined to do our best and make just as good, if not a better, record in High School as any other class before us. A few gave up the struggle, but the majority completed the year’s work and feel satisfied that they have done their best. After vacation we returned to school in September and are continuing our journey up the ladder of learning as Sophomores. We realize we are far from the top, but we are working slowly on toward success, and we are not going to give up until we succeed in reaching the top. We enrolled with a total of forty-two members—twenty-two girls and twenty boys. We are sorry to lose from the class Velda Batt. Ora Hovermale, Reba Unger. Louise Hovermale. Elmer Romine, and William Burkhart. We are proud of the interest which the class has given to athletics. Those who are playing basketball are:—Nancy Michael, Alma Hewett, Leona Barnes, Elsie VanGosen, Zona Duckworth, Elsie Michael, Anna Allen. George Miller, Gayle Ziler, and Paul Catlett. We are not proud of our athletics alone but also of our Literary Society workers!—Virginia Aulabaugh. Rachel Hunter, Elsie VanGosen, Agnes Shirley, Anna Hunter, and Unger Hohanness. For the first semester our class also has the distinction of having more students with an average of over ninety per cent than any other class in High School. For the concluding chapters of our history, see Annuals of 1928-1929. Page thirty 1 i i. 1L1 -i. i. 111X11
