In the fall of 1924 we assembled at the old high school, one hundred and eight, green and very fresh youngsters, who soon organized as the freshman class. We elected the following officers: Kent Morgan, President; Alice Gwinn, Vice-President; Martha Whitford, Secretary-Treasurer, and Miss Ballah as Sponsor. Social life for us during that first adventurous year consisted of the initiation party given us by the Sophomores, wherein we were made to suffer great trials, and our own party in return to them. W e were greatly honored by having Miss June Maust, a member of our class, elected Queen of the 1925 Orange and Black. In athletics we were represented by Jean Johnson and Martha Whitford, who were members of the girls basketball team. The following year, having somewhat dimmed our verdant hue and attained more dignified ways, we entered school with an enrollment of ninety-eight. We chose Robert Harris for our President; Dorothy Weaver, Vice-President; Ruth Simanton, Secretary-Treasurer; Kathryn Davis, Reporter; and Mr. Sympson, Sponsor. With zeal due to previous knowledge of initiation parties, we racked our brains to find due nourishment for the poor freshies. This done our party was given and soon afterwards, in their turn, the Freshmen entertained us. In activities we were very busy. In basketball, Mary Greenwald, Ruth Simanton, Dorothy Weaver, Clara Ford, Martha Whitford and Lloyd Walbridge. Jane Schaible and Alice Gwinn took leading parts in the operetta. And then we became Juniors! Much was accomplished. Very early in the year we elected John Falter, President; Martha Whitford, Vice-President, and Jane Schaible, Treasurer. We chose Miss Wheeler and Mr. Sympson for our sponsors. Class rings and pins were selected. A lecture course of the best quality was sponsored. We also sponsored a movie, “The Bat” at the Filectric Theater and Miss Wakelin and members of the class established our theatrical ranking in High School with “The Boomerang”. The Junior-Senior banquet was the first formal affair held in the new gym. We feel that it was initiated well. In football we were represented by Carl Hilgenfeld, Ernest Sauer, Harry Seegar, W illard Peck, Chester Mosman, Lloyd Walbridge and Raymond Rawley. In both girls and boys basketball we excelled. On the boys squad were Raymond Rawley and Lloyd Walbridge and on the girls team were Ruth Simanton, Martha Whitford, Mary Greenwald and Dorothy Weaver. On the track squad were W illiam Sauer, Robert Harris and Carl Hilgenfeld. And now—at last we have reached the top of the ladder. We are Seniors! Our number has dwindled some but our spirits have soared higher. This year we chose as officers, John Falter, President; Mary Greenwald, Vice-President; Lucille Carothers, Treasurer; Miss Wheeler and Mr. Sympon as Sponsors. Of our sponsors enough cannot be said. They have advised, helped and guided us with unerring judgment. Again we were especially well represented in activities. On the football team were Carl Hilgenfeld, Willard Peck, Ernest Sauer, William Sauer, Robert Harris, Chester Mosiman and Lloyd Lilly. In basketball were Lloyd Lilly and Raymond Rawley. In track were Robert Harris, Carl Hilgenfeld, William Sauer and John F'altcr. The Senior class was well represented in the Operetta. The Senior play was given the last of April. The play chosen was “Daddies”. School ended May 18 and the well known “Class of ’28” parted, never to meet again as classmates. Martha Whitford
