Memories Pleasant thoughts came wandering, As hack my memories flew. When we as classmates chose Our colors gold and blue. Time has changes made Among those friends of old Some have left our group. And other honors hold. Remembrances ne’er will fade Of scenes so vivid once. The dance and spreads mid happy days We shared through all those months. My thoughts turn now to present times. I wonder what the Fate, Holds for this happy group of us. This class of ’28. In memories our school day pranks, And scenes of which 1 tell. Shall linger still in after years, When we have said, “Farewell.” —Louise Mitchell [Page Seventeen]

Senior Class History Foi k years ago, oil the third day of Septemlier, 1024, the members oft the class of 28 entered the portals of this imposing edifice, erected and dedicated to the advancement of learning, old E. C. H. S. During those four years that have intervened since that exalted moment, many pupils have come and gone, three classes have graduated and departed, leaving only a yearning memory. Soon those doors will open and we, the class of ’28. will pass through to enter, unsupported, the Great Hattie of 12fe. When Freshmen, we organized and chose as officers: Jim Enright, president; Alyene Puterhaugh. vice-president; George Hudson, secretary; and Martha Ert- man. treasurer. Mr. RIoom was elected as sponsor and remained in this office for three years. Well do we remember our initiation, and the sweetness of our re- venge the next year. Our Sophomore year was particularly impressed on our memory as one of the happiest years in school, although our numbed had decreased from thirty-three to twenty-nine. We organized on the first day of school, electing Thomas LaCrone, president; Pearl Kesterke, vice-president; Margaret Ferry, secretary; and Ethel Laberdy. treasurer. This was a year of hard work and much fun. At the I eginning of our Junior year a few more dropped by the wayside leaving us with twenty-seven memliers. We elected Pearl Kesterke. president; Ethel laberdy, vice-president; Kenneth Miller, secretary; and Margaret Ferry, treasurer. The activities of the year were featured by the publication of a school paper and our Junior play, “Go Slow Mary.” This was a big financial as well as dra- matic success, allowing us to play the part of a very generous host at the Junior- Senior Banquet, one of the big events of the year. We entered our Senior year with a few more dropped out. making the burden a little heavier for each one left, but we still have a graduating class of twenty-one, the largest in the history of the school. The first event of! the year was the publishing of our annual, for which pur- pose a staff was elected: Ethel I .aberdy being made Editor-in-Chief and James En- right. Business Manger. Mr. Taft was chosen class sponsor and consented to oversee the annual work. The class officers elected were: I awrence Peachey, presi- dent; Arthur Teichman, vice-president; Thomas LaCrone, secretary; and Berna- dine Dillon, treasurer. Our Senior play. “The Winning of Joy” was presented early in December. All the way through school the class of ’28 has been noted for its live wire memljers, and their ability to start things and see them through. —Thomas LaCrone [Page Eighteen]
