Senior Class History In September 1925 we assembled in old Falls City High School and proceeded to elect the following officers: Edwin Fisher. President; Jack Heist, Vice President; and Gale Lin-sely, Secretary-Treasurer. Miss Ballah was chosen class sponsor. Soon after this the Sophomores entertained us with a party introducing us into the ways of the upper classmen. A return party was given them by us later in the year. In the years 1925-26 we were well represented in athletics. Three of the regulars on the girl’s team being Freshmen and there were ten Freshmen on the boys’ squad. The following year, entering the new high school, somewhat wiser and more dignified, we elected Delores Deadman, President; Leonard Castle, Vice President; Duane Lyons, Secretary-Treasurer. Miss Jorn and Miss Fox were chosen as sponsors. After entertaining the new Freshmen with a party, endeavoring to show them their true place, and later being royally entertained by them, we settled down to the business of being a credit to our position as Sophomores. We were indeed, well represented in activities. In football we were represented by fourteen men of whom two, Edwin Fisher and Heber Cheever made letters. In basketball Gale Linsley made his letter. In declamation we were represented by Marion Ross, Oratorical, Mary Jane Houston, dramatic, and Delores Deadman, humorous. In the Richardson County Music Contest two of our members won first place, Hollis Putnam, piano solo, and Dwight Lang, cornet solo. In 1927 we elected as President, Howard Holtzendorf, as vice-president, Harry Hillyard, as secretary-treasurer, Mary Jane Houston. Miss Jorn and Mr. Boswell were chosen as class sponsors and much credit is due these officers for their guidance through the year. Class pins and rings were bought this year as constant reminders of the happiest days of our lives in Falls City High School. Again we proved our athletic ability. Football lettermen were Howard Holtzendorf, Heber Cheever, Edwin Fisher, Gale Linsley, Leonard Castle, Frank Faller and Elmer Mosi-man. Basketball letter men were Edwin Fisher, Gale Linsley and Howard Holtzendorf. In declamatory contest we were represented by Mary Jane Houston, Leonard Casde, and Howard Holtzendorf. We held our Junior-Senior banquet in May after weeks of preparation. Finally we arrived at the long desired goal of being Seniors, We chose at our first class meeting, Leonard Castle, President; Heber Cheever, Vice-President; Duane Lyons, Secretary-Treasurer; Miss Jorn and Mr. Boswell, sponsors. We are greatly indebted to our sponsors for their unerring guidance and judgment. We were represented in football by Howard Holtzendorf, Milford Nelson, Dwight Lang, Elmer Mosiman and Edwin Fisher. In basketball we were represented by Edwin Fisher, Clarence Lindsay and Milford Nelson. On the Orange and Black staff we were represented by Deloris Deadman, John Horan, and Leonard Castle. Late in the year we presented the class play in the High School auditorium under the direction of Miss Wakelin. In parting, we, the class of 1929, wish to bid farewell to the faculty, the student body, and dear old Falls City High School. We go but we forget not. .................................................cum................................ 19 2 9 Page Twenty-four inihiiiiiiiiihieiiiimiiiiiiic].........
