Miss Glenna Troy and Mr. Frank Hunt The seniors, whose eventful high school life is now drawing to a close, may look back upon four years of pep and fun, as well as hard labor. As freshmen, their meetings were presided over by Wallace Mills, who became the student body president during his junior year. During their sophomore year, Avery Dickison and Mary Margaret Exline, were pres- idents. That year the class presented a novel minstrel show to the students. Walter Failor became class president in the junior yea.r. During that year the play Peg O' My Heart was presented, the leads being enacted by Linnette Steere and Wallace Mills. The annual function, the Junior Prom, was given for the seniors, May 26, under the chairmanship of Emmett Hughes. In the last year Thursday was set aside as Senior Garb Day , when all the seniors came forth in bright red slip-on sweaters with class numerals in gray. A new feature was introduced by the class of '29 in the form of the cap and gown idea for graduation. Descriptions of the Senior Ball and play are found elsewhere in the book. Sarah West and Clara Louise Schmidt were valedictorian and salutatorian of the class of '29. Sarah made a record of 94.4 per cent, while Clara made 93.6 per cent. The Senior Honor Roll was composed of Frank Abbott, Erma Baker, Miriam Bigelow, Mary Margaret Exline, Dorothy Foxwell, Allen Gaetz, Bertram Howe, Mary Lasher, Blanche Morgan Carl Reder, Dorothy Roberts, Anthony Seibold, Jessie Smith, Elmer Tew and Russell Vadman. As a parting gift to the school, the seniors gave two hundred and seventy-five dollars to the music department to be used for band instruments. V page twenty nine

Rea Moore, Lucile Failor Now completing their third year of high school life, the class of 1930 again boasts of a most successful year. When freshmen, Adolph Schmidt and Kenneth Norrie shared the honors of being class president. The high point of this first year was the pep assembly put on May 16, 1927. The second year found Burton Bowman and William Priestly at the head of the class. The major events of the junior year were the presentation of the play, The Patsy in December, and the Prom and pep assembly in May. The juniors gave the seniors a close run for the possession of King Solomon this year, winning the much prized scholarship trophy twice, and the third time, losing it by six hundredths of a point to the senior boys. The juniors spent much time and thought in the fall deciding upon a class pin and ring which would also be suitable for future classes. The committee, composed of Dorothy Cook, Bill Aetzel and Cornelia Wilson finally chose and the class adopted, a pin which contains a picture of the Capitol dome. Class numerals are used as the guard. The ring is similar except that at the sides of the dome are bears' heads and the class numerals. To make their record complete, the juniors can boast of being the first class to pay dues 100'Z,. page thirty
