 CLASS II I S T () R Y Yes, Central, Downers Grove number i-9-2-7, yes that’s it. Hello, Class of '27? We want your history for the Cauldron. Won't you please tell us a little? Well as Freshmen we started as all Freshmen do, to conquer the universe and especially the high school. There were eighty one of us and we had Mrs. Andersen and Miss Radclitfe as advisors with Fred Towsley, Clarissa Bogart, Irene Chester, and Curly Plambcck to help out on the officer’s end. We entertained ourselves (and the upper- classmen with our antics) at two parties that year and became experi- enced Sophomores with great joy. This year we had the same advisors and as officers, Donnell Decgan, Arthur Stephens, Alice Matson, and Beulah Jacobs. Gradually we took our places in the High School life and discovered that we were quite as capable as any other class in the school (in our own opinion.) In our Junior year the class continued their pep and loyalty, urged on by our three advisors. Mr. Johnson, Mrs. Andersen and Miss Thomp- son. With these helpers and our able commanders, Arthur Stephens, Fremont Plambeck, Spencer Lott and Alice Bcresford. how could we help but put over a splendid Junior-Senior banquet? In this last year the happiest and shortest of all, my, haven’t we worked hard? For the benefit of lower classmen we can state that making a “Cauldron” is harder than moving a mountain. But still, we’ve done it. You see, we had Mr. Moser, Mrs. Andersen, Miss Dunbar, and Miss Hiscox besides a full stall of officers, Fremont Plambeck, Marguerite Canty, James Mackey and Helen Weatherbee. Now that we are enjoying our last tests and our last days spent in gathering the knowledge fruit of 1). G. II. S. we, the remaining thirty-nine, look back at our High School life and begin to appreciate the four years. Thank you so much ‘27, that’s just what we needed and I’m sure everyone will be glad to hear of a class as interesting as yours. Good- ie vc Good Luck!
