S) BEAVER ----------------------- s Class Sttstimt The Purple and the Cream forever! Royal colors of the class of ’28, Long and proudly will they wave, Telling of our deeds so gay and glorious. I. In the fall of 1924 a peppy gang of Freshmen entered the St. Edwa d High School determined to make our years through High School a shining pathway of glory. Miss Mitchell was given the responsibility of guiding our tender vears through the intricate maze cf the Freshman term, and we entrusted our affairs of state to William Jackson, as President, whose aide-decamps were Glenn Birkby, Vice President; Genevieve Rominger, Secretary-Treasurer; Arthur Weidner, Yell Leader; Aubrey Allen, Alice Lister, Maroon Reporters. The first taste of glory after the presentment of the Purple and the Cream, which, by the way. was a solemn and decorous entrance into high school life and made us feel very proud to be S. E. H. S. students, was the Declamatory contest in which two of our members received first and second places in the humorous class. Some of our number were included in the high school orchestra, and as a class a fair showing was made at the annual Maroon and Beaver contests. Beyond the social whirl of parties (of which there were many), the most of us found time to pile up enviable records along scholastic lines. The feeling of a class spirit and co-oneration grew and grew—“jest like Topsv”—and before be were aware of it all—hocus pocus! We were Sophomores, giddy and gay! II. The Sophomore year, which is usually a dull slump for most classes, proved the exception for the class of ’28. Mr. Frank Martin assumed the sponsorship at this time, and the class elected the following officers: President, Mel Jackson ; Vice-President, Genevieve Rominger; Secretary-Treasurer, Ernest Gorr; Yell Leaders, Arthur Weidner, William Jackson : Maroon Reporters, Aubrey Allen, Alice Lister. We took an active part in the Maroon and Beaver crntests, had a goodly number enter in the basket ball and track squads, and successfully raised more than any other class for the Carnival Fund, through the operation of a Japanese Tea Room, a minstrel, ard other concessions. We placed two winners in the Declamatory contest, one of which was awarded first in the sub-district meet and third in the district. A number also attended the scholastic contest at Wayne. A merry roundelay of parties in addition to the grind of studies made this year one of the best remembered—perhaps the most notorious party being the little “affair” at “Dugan’s.” Forbidden fruits are sweetest! 192 8
