MEENAUGH WOLAK COROTS WAHAMAKI Seniors (JANUARY CLASS) OUR years ago this January, we began our high school career at the old Miller School. The first semester of our freshman year proved rather uneventful as we had no class organization, but in September of the same year we organized as a class with the incoming 9-B's. During our sophomore year we sponsored several activities including a box social, a dance, and a movie. It was this year that the cornerstone was laid for Fordson High School. In September, 1927, we moved into our new high school as juniors. We were more active than ever before, and with the aid of our sponsor, Lester Nieman, we proceeded to make the Junior Class known throughout the school. The most important of our undertakings was the sponsoring of the J-Hop, Senior Banquet, Bob-Lo Trip, and the presentation of the junior play “The Patsy.’’ Previous to this year all January graduates waited until June for their exercises, but we were told we could have our commencement in January. Our thirteen se- niors were separated from the 12-B class, and we organized and elected officers. We also elected another sponsor. Miss Frances Barrett. From October, the time the classes were separated, until January we were very busy, and all our business culminated in one social event, the Senior Snowball, which was held January 18. This was a success both financially and socially. Though this is not an exciting history for outsiders to read we hold every part of it dear to ourselves, and we look forward to our alumni career with an eagerness to do something which will make Fordson High proud to have had us as graduates.
