Jo” 1928 — SENIOR CLASS HISTORY NCE upon a time, four long years ago, one hundred and eight little pages climbed to the castle door and entered therein to obtain their Wes training. Training? Yes, the ones who were willing to master the hardships and battles of life, entered the castle with the intention of emerging as first class Knights. The members of the class have worked diligently and earnestly to reach their goal, and now, that we are Seniors, we want to tell you a few of the facts which have taken place in our lives the past four years and which will enable us, as a class, to-go ‘‘over the top” in number, service and loyalty. Since we, as students, had an earnest purpose, we started in bravely, always striving to live up to the highest standards, and now, at the end of our Senior year, we have made for ourselves a history that will go ringing down through the years proclaiming us the most dependable and strongest Senior class ever leaving the Oakland High School. Throughout the first year, we, as “pages”, worked industriously in order to make ourselves recognized as a part of the court and eventually after the battles were won we were made “squires’’, or in other words Sopho- mores. On entering the second year our number had decreased. Although there were only a few of us to carry the increased burden, we met our tasks over half way and thus gained a splendid record for ourselves and were made “Knights.” As a result a greater effort had to be made to retain our stand- ard in O. H. 8S. Throughout the year we were successful in placing a rep- resentative of our class in every circle in school. At this time we must not fail to mention that a number of our class rep- resented our school in the County-wide Declamation Contest. Thus ended our Junior year with a splendid record and we were admitted into the “Higher Court.” The happiest yet the saddest of all times in the history of our class is that of our Senior year. It is now that we must raise anchor and set sai! into the unknown. We can only hope that our bark will have a favorable wind and that we shall encounter no unsurmountable obstacles in reaching port on the other side. Now as we board the good ship “Hope” and set sail out into the unknown future, we extend the wishes of good luck and prosperity to all the under-classmates In leaving this dear old Alma Mater of ours, we wish to express our heartiest thanks for all that she has done for us and may we never forget the many happy hours which we have spent within her walls, and may we close this Volume V that records our experiences in High School with a heart that remembers only the hours that shine, and may our ship, which had set sail so bravely, be guided by as favorable a wind as has been with us for the past four years. —James Dodge and Irva Ashby, ’28. 29
