Junior Class History The greenest of greenhorns, we as freshmen, entered the Falls City High School in the fall of ’28. We were thoroughly introduced into the intricacies of the upper classmen by the Sophomores. Early in the spring, when we gave the Sophomores a return party, it was the general opinion of every freshman that the Sophomores suffered pangs of jealousy at our class spirit. We elected John Heiser, president; Agnes Leo Rieger, vice-president; and Guy Crook, secretary and treasurer. Well on in ’29, with a few more creases in our gray matter, we returned to continue our search for knowledge. We elected Agnes Leo Rieger, president; Bob Greenwald, vice-president; and Marie Clark, secretary and treasurer. We duly initiated the freshmen into the curriculum of their superiors. In the last of the school year, we provided the flowers and ushers for the Commencement Exercises. Sixty-eight valiant remnants of the glorious one hundred returned to face the onslaught of teachers and text-books. The class officers were Bud Maust, president; Marie Clark, vice-president; Agnes Leo Rieger, secretary; and Guy Crook, treasurer. As Juniors, we held our own in football. We were supported by Castle, Margrave, Griffis, Maust, Mosiman, Greenwald, and Clark, all of whom received their letters. In basket-ball, we were represented by Clark and Castle. The Juniors were fortunate in having the high school cheer leaders from their class. A lively school spirit was maintained throughout the year by the enthusiasm of Agnes Leo Rieger and Fred Graham. The Juniors were very active in music. In the operetta cast we were represented by Donna Jean Eubanks, Frederick Graham, and Theodore Culver while the choruses were composed mainly of Juniors. Moreover they showed a hearty co-operation in helping to win the laurels at the M-I-N-K Contest. The string quartet—Jean Young, Georgianna Brenner, Evelyn Wiltse and Robert Wilson—won first, Georgianna’s viola solo won third, Evelyn’s cello solo won second, Frederick Graham’s tenor solo won fourth and a play in which Agnes Leo Rieger received honorable mention for outstanding ability in dramatics, won first. “Tons of Money”, the class play, was successfully presented on February 20. We selected a modernistic design for our class rings and pins which were to serve as a reminder of our high school days. On May 9 we topped an enjoyable year by giving a farewell banquet to the Seniors at the “Weaver”. We thank our sponsors, Miss Davis and Mr. Hatch for their capable guidance. We feel that had it not been for their ideas and co-operation we would not have been so successful. M. B. and M. C. Page Twenty-eight

Class History Successfully weathering the trying ordeals of the freshman year, we entered our new classes as Sophomores. Lordly attitudes were assumed and we controlled the Freshmen as only Sophomores can. Our abilities may well be shown by the representatives in football, basketball and the M. I. N. K. contest. Gene Bullock received a letter as a regular in basketball, while Robert Bryson did the same in football.
