Since all freshmen are supposed to be green, they chose for their motto Green Leaves Never Fall.” The officers for that first successful year were Tom Bruce, President, Forrest Holmes, Vice-President and Edna Gekeler Baxter, Secretary-Treasurer. The sponsors for that year were Miss Thompson and Mrs. Young. As far as freshmen may be successful, these Rooks of ’24 had a big year. They won first place in the stunt contest and showed that they had good possibilities in athletics and music. Live wires for this year were Dorothy Brownton and Marion Crowe. In the fall of 1925 the Class of ’28 returned, one year wiser and one year nearer the goal of graduation. Tom Bruce was reelected President, Richard Geist Vice-President and Edna Gekeler Baxter Secretary-Treasurer. This year as in the preceding year, the Class of ’28 showed its worth. They gave a tea for their parents, and were also rep- resented in the operetta by such members as Ed Buchanan, Marion Crowe and Tom Bruce. They did well in athletics, probably having a few more girls than boys take part. The school year of 1926 began with much success for the Junior Class. The officers for the year were Marion Crowe, President; Sylvia Malone, Vice-President, and Edna Baxter Secretary-Treasurer. This year Marjorie Reynolds and Richard Geist were the live wires. The sponsors were Mrs. Hays, Miss Lee and Mr. Thomas. The Junior Play presented was Captain Applejack,” and with such members as Marion Crowe, Bertha Bantz, Edna Baxter, Vernal Shoemaker and others taking the parts, the play couldn’t help being one of the best ever presented in La Grande High School. The Juniors took second place in the stunt contest. They also gave a successful tea for their mothers. In athletics they showed their merit, though they were not represented by a large number. A number of the girls and boys won athletic letters. The Senior year, is of course, the greatest year in the life of any high school student. The year started well, with Miss Lillie, Mr. Hawk and Mr. McEachran advisors, and the class officers as follows: President, Vernal Shoemaker, Vice-President, Richard Geist and Secretary-Treasurer, Ruth Irwin. Though the Seniors were very busy studying and taking part in all other activities that take up so much time of such worthy individuals, they found time to give a very successful tea for their mothers, put on a very good stunt, and give another splendid play. This year the play chosen was Kempy,” and the cast included the following seniors: Tom Bruce, Wilma Schroeder, Martina Sams, Kenneth Owen, Phillis Ansell, Edwin Rogers, Amy Brown and Vernal Shoemaker. The Senior Class of ’28 is the largest that has ever graduated from La Grande High School. They leave behind them four successful years, and look forward to a successful future for all. 81 UN? . 19
