CLASS HISTORY It was in September, 1925, that a throng of green Freshies entered the halls of P. C. H. S. They numbered sixty strong, and their brightness swelled out upon the air, and was felt by everyone. During the first year of their high school career as Freshmen they were blessed with the usual amount of greenness. They attended mainly to their own affairs which kept them well occupied. The one and only event of special importance was a party at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Toon, the class advisers. Stanley Watts efficiently served the class as president and guided it safely through its first year of high school life. In their Sophomore year little was attempted except the learning of lessons. Officers chosen were John Moline, president; Horace Shaw, vice-president; Wayne Canney, secretary; and Albert Hill, treasurer. Many of the class were stars in athletics and other activities. The class began its Junior year by electing Stanley Watts, president; Vernon Moffett, vice-president; Loretta McLaughlin, secretary; and John Kemp, treasurer. During that year various efforts were made to raise money for the class, with the kindly advice of the sponsors, Miss Paul and Miss Parks. Candy was sold at basketball and football games and two Junior “Tag Days” were held for the purpose of collecting class dues. The class gave a play, “His Best Investment,” which was a huge success. In the middle of the year the class bought their rings and pins. As a final for the Junior year, the Junior-Senior banquet was held at the Middlecoff Hotel on May 25. Places were set for over one hundred, including the faculty, Juniors, and Seniors. After the toast program, the party adjourned to the Legion Hut for dancing. Now the last and Senior year draws to a close. Some of the members have fallen by the wayside but nevertheless there are still a large number of steady and sturdy plodders. The class of ’29 has had its share of members on the athletic teams, in literary work, and in other activities. The class-play, the Junior-Senior Banquet, Commencement, and Baccalaureate services are events of the Spring. Now, after four years, the class of ’29 is about to enter the cold cruel world. Others will take their places, but the “29’ers” leave dear old P. C. II. S. with a hope that they will always be welcomed back with open arms to their Alma Mater. Mabel Beland
