Varsity football men were Bill Tillman, Paul Tremaine, Bob Flynn, and Herbert Bosch, the first two being basketball lettermen as well. How time did fly!

the varsity football team for 1929. The juniors were also represented in basketball by Bill Tillman, Paul Tremaine, and Herbert Andrews, and in baseball by Herbert Bosch and Bill Tillman. Came the last year, and the seniors eagerly assumed their larger responsibilities under the leadership of Mrs. Atherton, adviser, Herbert Andrews, presidentg Sam Allen, vicefpresident, Virginia Corbit, secretary, Willa Mae Irwin, treasurer, and Alice Kathryn Irwin, Crimson and Gold class editor. The chief problem confronting the seniors was the matter of nnancing the an- nual, the senior breakfast, and the meeting of minor obligations. The major enter' prize for this purpose was the presentation of the SpanishfLatin Fiesta, November 2, which was a decided social as well as financial success. Special vaudeville acts were given in the auditorium by members of the senior class, after which a dance was held in the study hall. Miss Heminger's orchestra students furnished the music. Throughout the evening concessions, fortuneftelling, and other features of interest were open to the public. . The seniors maintained their forensic reputation by being well represented in the interclass essay contest, Margaret Ambuehl and Ina Lucy Savage taking the first two places. In addition, Grace Garrett, Marian Rick, and john Adamson continued as members of the varsity debate squad. Herbert Bosch was captain of the 1930 Yellowjacket squad, and Tillman, Flynn, Crowder, and Williams, won sweaters and letters. Jack Waldron was the captain of the varsity basketball team, other senior members being Bill Tillman and Lee Hubbard. Baseball was carried on under the leadership of Bill Tillman. - Other class representatives on the squad were Herbert Bosch and Eric Crowder. The track team was captained by Robert Flynn, who was supported by Waldron and Bosch. ' I Management of the annual Crimson and Gold subscription campaign was, as usual, delegated to the senior class. The first school drive was presented in the form of an assembly, admission to whichwas a snapshot. The feature of the as' sembly was an original skit, written jointly by Florence Eby and Marian Rick, and given by members of the annual staff. Additional school subscriptions were obtained on Tag Day. On March 12 the class members were given a half-day in which to solicit local subscriptions. Seniors reigned supreme on Class Day, March 26. They taught classes and congregated on the front lawn for a picnic lunch. During the sixth period the student body was entertained with a stunt program of senior talent. Feature numbers were a whistling solo by Margaret Ambuehl, a collegiate tan dance by Louise Logan and Jodie Lugo, a reading by Lois Lloyd, a piano solo by Mildred Jackson, and a jazz skit by Virginia Corbit, Alice Kathryn and Vxfilla Mae Irwin. Following the enter' tainment a dance was held in the upper hall, music being furnished by the junior Orchestra. Senior Week was a memorable conclusion to a fourgvear activity program. On Tuesday, June 3, was the ever-tofbe-remembered JuniorfSenior Prom. and on Sun' day, June 1. the baccalaureate service. Class Night was celebrated on Monday, June 2, and the Senior Breakfast on Wednesday, June 4. And perhaps most memorable of all were the Rotary luncheon and Graduation. And now we have arrived at the parting of the ways. Many will go on to college, while others will settle at home, but wherever we are, we will never forget the dear old high school, the faculty and Mrs. Atherton, who has been our friend and adviser during the past three years. . -Virginia Corbit '30 Alice Kathryn Irwin '30 i24l
