16 SILVER AND BLUE H mu History Being chosen to write the history of the class of '28, this thought comes to my mind, that our history at Berry College is written and nothing we can do or say can change it. Our class has at last reached the pinnacle. We are now at the end of the way , yet we are just beginning. But with this ending a new and dif- ferent future lies before us and it is with fear and trembling that we en- ter up-on the great journey of life. There were a few of our number who fell by the wayside on our up- ward climb but the faithful and re- maining few know what it means to struggle each night over questions and problems in Mathematics, Phy- sics, Education and Chemistry. Our two years here have n-ot been spent in hours of leisure but in hours of work. Neither has our goal been at- tained by days and nights of pleasure but by steady and continuous effort since our day -of entrance in the fall of nineteen hundred and twenty-six. The class of '28 has sponsored many activities which have been for the up-building of our college and we are honored indeed to have among our number, leaders in every sense of the word, leaders in scholar- ship, in athletics, and in other ac- tivities of the college. In fact there are in our class such a number .of important persons that it seems necessary to give a summary of our classmates and the accomplishments of each. We might as well begin with Francis Hunter from Chickamauga. Georgia. Francis has been with us these two years and was our star basketball player. In spite of her troubles she always greets the world with a smile. Although she has not received any marked distinction in her class work, she is known and loved by all. Ruby Peace, known during her Freshman year as Miss Pearce is from Vald-osta, Georgia. When you first see Ruby you form the opinion that she is distant but those who know her best, love her most. She has been of great service in the dental clinic this year and has chosen for her vocation the nursing pro- fession. We predict for Ruby a bril- liant future. Elizabeth Adams is the only Ken- tucky representative in the class. She is noted for her excellence in home economics. Elizabeth has been a very loyal member of our class for these two years, although she is slow she is sure. We feel that our lives have been benefited by our friendship and asso- ciation with Gertie White from ACWOTH1, Georgia. Last year she won first place in the McAdoo extem- poraneous debate for girls. F-or im- provement in English, she won a dia- mond for her English pin. Allen Carver from Rome, Georgia, has been a very good student and classmate. He is president of our
