ig... S , .3 Senior Class History BY SYLVIA EBER If this were just the simple story of How I spent four years in jail -beg pardon- High School, it would be infinitely easier to write. But it isn't. It is the history of the Class of 1928 from September, 1924, to June, 1928, and must be serious. And there's the rub. Why must a history be serious? Of course they always are-but that doesn't explain why. Most certainly, the history of '28 shouldn't be serious, because '28 itself started its career backwards. Its history just can't be serious. In the first place, we were a disappointment, and such a keen one. It must be exceedingly irritating to a Senior class expecting newcomers in the form of gawky youths and shy, retiring maids, to find instead a group of fresh young upstarts took it upon themselves to try to run the school. Times were different four years the seniors were tall and awe-inspiring, and we were small and should have who agoi been than all the other classes put together, and even more so to win all the ticket selling contests. inspired. It was most inconsiderate of us, therefore, to have more honor students Thus began the four-year sentence. The end comes now with our immediate graduation, and as we look back, the contrast between our Freshman and Senior years is so unusual that we marvel. As Freshmen, we were the darlings of our teachers, the pride of the school, and every possible point was strained to make our paths easier. As Seniors, we were the brunt of new systems, the target for Lady Hard Luck, and all our plans were shattered by dissenting forces. We ask you, did we begin backwards? Our Sophomore year was rather different. As we were then upper classmen it was quite permissable, even the thing, to win the Indoor Track Meet. That was the year of traffic cops, information bureaus and no left turns. However, since '28 has that excellent capacity for having fun in even the most adverse circumstances, We went blissfully along, entirely unmoved by the social reforms going on about us. As Juniors, we established the precedent of the Junior Hop, and, glory of glories, won the school baseball championship with an undefeated team-something few classes I NN ,,.w---.,s?,f 'xp,,.f' I5 ',g'1 :SR.5:eQ:2Q Q. .fe fig ea ss, . f We ex. as c 2 ff ri W W -.ev - Page 10 ina ,-,.
