Lippiatt. Vanguards of the class of thirty-two, fifty-nine boys and girls --the last freshmen to enter our alma mater---started their high school career in February, i928 For three semesters they enjoyed being the lowest class in school, For five long terms they had the honor of sitting in the balcony of the auditorium. On September lo, l929, experienced sophomores from the junior high school joined the ranks of their classmates Bob Matthews was chosen to lead the class with Bud Daggett, Catherine Anne Salinger, and Lois McLean assisting him Miss Hill was the adviser September, l93O, found a junior class destined to accomplish much, With Miss Moore as its adviser, the class elected Bud Daggett to the presie dential position, Mary Traphagen as vice-president, Bobbie Brooks as secre- tary, and Lois McLean again as treasurer. The annual junior Theater Rally, besides bringing an unprecedented financial return, inspired the entire stu- dent body with enthusiasm. With the funds thus amply provided, the class was able to entertain the seniors at a prom long to be remembered. With one year left to complete its high school course, the class of thirty- two returned two hundred strong in September, l93l, prepared to surpass every other class, Dan Clark, under the guidance of Miss Bear, led the class successfully with able helpers in l-lenry Kehler, joe Loe, and Bobbie Brooks. On December 29, the first annual Alumni Day was sponsored by the seniors. At this time the graduates of the school were given an opportunity to renew their old friendships and revive memories The entertainment consisted of a program given in assembly, a luncheon, and a basketball game. Another activity of the class was the annual senior play, presented on March 5. An extensive city-wide campaign in which the class was divided into twenty- two groups resulted in a successful sale of tickets, Cosmo Hamilton's hilarious play, The New Poor, with its Russian background, kept the audience in continuous laughter. Senior Day came as a welcome interlude in the crowded days of the last quarter. Another event which was greatly enjoyed was the prom given by the junior class the first week of june. Almost before they realized it, the seniors were giving their class night program. With the class passed the last four-year lettermen, the last four-year honor members, and the last four-year students, ,, iii l e. gs ' if it-rs, r ' i Q , ,, A DAN CLARK, President HENRY KEHLER.
