Leighton Anderson Sponsors U Miss Cuddy ' Mr. Miller IN THE BEGINNING- The class of '28 was the largest in school. The accomplishments of the sophomore group, 'headed by Wesley Keas, although not spectacular, were a vital part of school victories. As juniors, attainments were more conspicuous. Wesley was again elected president, and the class immediately began to make a name for itself. The negative debate team, which was composed entirely of juniors, won every meet in which they participated and helped win the state championship. In athletics, the juniors dominated in every school team. In order to make money for the Junior-Senior banquet, the play Believe Me, Xantippe was presented, displaying effectively much dramatic and business ability, Finally, the farewell banquet was given the seniors, who left the class of '28 the place of leadership. An Elms that might be a credit to C. H. S. was the ultimate goal of the seniors. Maurine Jackson and Wesley Keas were elected king and queen of the yearbook. Meanwhile, the members of the class were not lagging in other activities. Athletic teams were composed for the most part of seniors, and three seniors were debaters. The play and carnival sponsored by the class were very successful. AND NOW- As its last achievement, the class will present its own commencement. program. Instead of having an address, seven Seniors, chosen by a process of elimination, will give orations on the cardinal principles of education. .J .-Q 9 2 L. Clair Jones, president of the senior class, has won the respect of all the seniors by his constant effort to make this class the best possible. Some
