HISTO RY OF THE CLASS OF 1928 We, the grand old seniors, began our high school career in the same fashion as have all classes heretofore! and as will all those hereafter. Green freshmen — that is a fit description of what we then were. However, once we were well established and had found our footing there was no holding us back. Our talents blossomed forth even when we were in that infantile stage — Freshmen. All lines of activities were partici- pated in, showing our exceptional abilities. The Freshmen girls took two out of the three possible championships: baseball and volleyball. They also did their share by contributing four members to the school baseball team: Arlene Page, Katherine Brusco, Evalyn Glass, and Frances Thompson. The latter also made the tennis team. Our boys constituted the major part of the midget basketball team and won the Class C interclass track. Charles Moore, our freshman representative, took third place in Forensic; while Charles Dickinson succeeded in making the debating team. Other activities and organizations in which members of our class took part were Oper- etta, Scholarship society, and Ko-Hi-Nur Staff. As Sophomores, we continued our good work in all lines of activities. The Flea- weight football team, which was not once defeated during the 1926 season, was com- posed largely of Sophomore boys. We also had a great many members on the Midget and Lightweight basketball teams. Robert Wood took second place in the 880 at the Tri-County League Track meet, while Myrl Parker ‘“took fourth in the same event. The latter also won his basketball and football letters. The baseball championship was won by our girls again and three members of the school baseball team belonged to the class of ' 28. Margaret Dibble, Frances Thompson, Gladys Narramore, and Arlene Page made their basketball letters during the year, and again one member of the class made the tennis team. Glen Barnes and Raymond Mulvane won for us the inter-class debate while Helen Lambeth, Charles Dickinson, and Glen Barnes made the school debating team. The Sophomore Class furnished the major part of the chorus and the main leads in the Bells of Beaujolis.” Those taking leads were Lillian Cubley, Charles Dickinson, Frances Thompson, Herbert Key, and Helen Lambeth. By the beginning of our third year everyone was fully convinced that the class of 1928 was truly phenomenal. Glen Barnes, a Junior, won the oratorical contest, while Charles Dickinson and Helen Lambeth made the debate team again. During the year a dramatic club was organized and over half of this exclusive organization were Juniors. Both boys ' and girls ' athletic teams would have suffered a great loss had the class of ' 28 disappeared from their midst. We claim four of the Fourteen

Yes, you go to my school, And we’ve learned the big lesson,— Be strong! And to front the loud noise With a spirit of poise And drown down the! noise with a song. We have spelled the first line in the Primer of Fate; We have spelled it, and dare not to shirk— For its first and its greatest commandment to men Is, “Work, and rejoice in your work.” Who is learned in this Primer will not be a fool— You are one of my classmates. You go tcPfriy school. —Foss m Thirteen

six girls who won the league tennis cup; four members of the league championship baseball team; six of the basketball letter girls; and three members of the all-school hockey team. McLean Gist and Ely Peeler won over one-half of the school ' s points in the Tri- Country Class C track! meet, thus bringing victory to C.H.S. Ely also took fourth at the Southern California High School track meet, being the first Corona man ever to take a place in the Southern California meet. The Seniors have quite naturally been responsible for practically all of the school activities this year. The girls carried off a large percentage of the honors in the athletic field by taking the basketball, volleyball, baseball, and tennis championships. Five out of the seven members of the Boys ' League championship basketball team were Seniors. Ely Peeler took first place in the “Class C” low hurdles at the S outhern California. And Bob Wood ran fifth in the 440 at the same meet. The school oratorical contest, this year, was won by Margaret Dibble who took third at the Riverside Country oratorical contest and second in Forensic with her splendid oration. Winona Warner took first place among sixty contestants in the Riverside County shorthand contest at Hemet. Six of the seven students debating for Corona High during ’27- ' 28 were Seniors. The music department attempted for the first time a light Opera. “Pinafore” was chosen and all leads except two were taken by Seniors. Perhaps the most important of all events beside Commencement in the life of a Senior is the Senior Play. The Seniors this year showed their intelligence and good judgment by choosing a really literary comedy, The Admirable Crichton by James Barrie. This play showed the ability of the class to put over something fine as it proved to be a huge success. And last but not least, eight of our class showed their fine scholastic ability by winning California Scholarship Federation Pins which were awarded for being mem- bers of the society for seven out of the eight possible semesters. These students are Margaret Dibble, Helen Lambeth, Evalyn Glass, Winona Warner, Frances Thompson, Charles Dickinson, Ely Peeler, and Lyman Fink. This year, 1927-28, has been a year of work and achievement in dear old C. H. S. And, although the underclassmen have had their part in it, all have found in the Seniors real guidance and leadership. Thus, each and every Senior is more than proud to have been a member of the class of ' 28 as it has lead the Student Body through the most successful year in the history of Corona High School.
