While the general reader will find little in the history of school life to differentiate one year from the other, the actual student sees each year crowded with events that are inextricably woven into his own years. It is the purpose of our little history to chronicle these events because as Vergil so aptly puts it, Fontan et haec olim meminixse iulvabitf' The Commencement Exercises of last year's class were held on June 25, 1929. The graduates numbered 172-83 boys and 89 girls. This class brought the total number of graduates from South Park High School to 1444. If we add this year's class, the total number of graduates at the end of fifteen years will approximate 1650. Of the 172 graduates, sixteen won their diplomas With Honor, indicating that at least eight of the required fifteen units had been earned with a Regents mark of 90? or above, while one hundred and forty-eight received their diplomas With Credit, having secured 75? or above in at least eight of the required fifteen units. Fifty-five of the graduates received the N. Y. State Regents College Entrance diploma. This diploma is made the basis of the award of State Scholarships which entitle their holders each to the sum of one hundred dollars annually during his or her four years at college. Forty such scholarships are available to the graduates of all the high schools and academies in Erie County. Nine scholarships came to South Park and were Won by Carl Breden- berg, Karl Bredenberg, Irma Dickman, Francis Gramlich, Harry Koob, Kathleen Reilly, Albert Ullrich, Robert Wohlfeil and Donald Ziegler. The theme of the graduation exercises was Charles Dickens . Francis W. Gramlich delivered an oration on Dickens-The Man, while Fred Gorman's oration was entitled Dickens-The Novelist. George Prenatt, the president of the class of 1929 gave the valedictory. The gold medal for general proficiency was won by Kathleen Reilly and the Jesse Ketchum gold medal was Won by Francis Gramlich. The new school year began on September 9 with the usual increase in registration. Fourteen years ago, at the end of the first school year, the total registration was 705. At the end of the fifth year it had reached 8835 at the end of the tenth year, 14255 today, the total number of students registered at South Park is 1761. Several changes have taken place in the faculty during the year. Miss Isabelle Burke, Miss Bertha E31
