CLASS HISTORY 2Fi Some folks think it is highly distinguished personages like Napoleon who. ravaging up and down the earth. make history, but to 1ny notion. we are furnishing history as important to us as Napoleon's. We are leaving these walls, perhaps forever-we have put forth our best these four years and somehow or other, we have the feeling that they have not been in vain. .-Xdventure is the golden wine of youth! Let us seek it on a cruise along memory's uncharted sea. Our quest is the unearthing of fond recollections of by- gone high-school days! Our craft is the magic llflflifllllllgllllll10111 Let us be off into the unknown. NVe have left the home port and are gliding through tranquil waters. Surely we are approaching 1926. lfreshies then we were. Hitherto quite insignificant- in fact below the value of our upper classmen, but here our apprenticeship is o'er. We are introduced straight to the front under the guidance of our talented advisor, llliss Humphrey and our president, I,illian Ainsworth. Several of our boys immediately became recognized by the entire school for their athletic ability as future bearers of I. H. S. laurels. The view becomes misty so we steam with look-out posted for new discoveries. Soon we approach an island-none other than 1927. lt captiyates our interests at once. VVere we not Sophs? john Taylor assumed command and proved a worthy leader. Wle were feeling mighty important then. l'ub1icity and a marked degree of prominence were coming our way. Business was heaped upon our shoulders- and we became prominent in all school activities. llusk falls, so embark we must or be left to savages! All night we plow through churning waters and the dawn of an exquisite day heralds the approach of a dark, densely covered land, a land of huge proportions. Truly it is a fruitful shore. Imagine our amazement when we unearth evidence that this spot is 1928. XYe were ,luniors in this past land and john Taylor takes his second term as presi- dent. This year we were well represented on the Varsity teams in both football, basketball and track. livery means available were put into practice because re- sponsibility rested none too lightly upon our shoulders-Iunior-Senior funds were to be obtained and plans were to be formulated. lint of course we succeeded beyond our highest hopes. So does 1928 fade into the shadows and we sail on. lfinally a shout tells us that land has been sighted. Meanwhile a rapid change is noticed in the atmospheric conditions. The sun bursts forth radiating beams, a warm caressing breeze springs up. Softly our ship drops into anchor-safe-what awaits us? 1,and beneath our feet--adventure in our hearts-confidence in our souls. VVhat could we not make ours? This land, according to our investigation proves to be a continent-a world on which our big 'treasure awaits us to be gotten by means of the fruits of our voyage collected on our way here. The continent is 1929-we are Seniors-and Frank lX1cComas is 1'resident. The heights have been Twenty-seven 1' - - . 'ff - 114 1 -1 , -1 ,- 5 ? F , 1 l N-' 'H92': Q v ' .ix 'l I! f e lr az. ' D All

Nothing but honor and praise shall We give to lronton High School which we shall hold sacred forever.
