.Iljll-I - fri.. af or will l' HISTORY OF THE CLASS OF TWENTY-NINE fi? many Freshmen are as lucky as our Freshmen class. In September of the year 1925 while all other high school pupils if were quite advanced in their studies for that year we, the pupils to be of Burnham High School, were waiting almost WM patiently for the new school to be finished. It was not until on the 14th day of October that we started organizing our classes. Of course as any other Freshmen class we were looking forward and yet dreaded our first few days at High School. The Seniors were the cause of our worry because one learns so much of the tricks they play on the ignorant Freshmen. We might have saved our worries for some future time be- cause the Seniors were about as ignorant of the new school as we were. To us Freshmen the days were filled to capacity. The Whole day was entirely novel to us. Quite a diference between the usual routine of the grades. Our class was organized with Hildreth Sharp as president. Our Athletic teams were organized and the class parties were hard to check. We had three parties, one of them was held at a hall in Sylvania and the others in the school auditorium. The year passed entirely too swiftly and just as we were becoming used to the new life school was closed for three months. Burnham High opened its doors on the same day that all other high schools opened. ' After the first few weeks of school our work became more of a rout- ine than in the Freshman year. Howard Day was elected president with Mr. Smith as advisor, Lester Reeb, vice-president, Esther Fosnaugh, secretary and treasurer. The Sophomores were an active and much alive class. We gave a class play named, The Little Politician, which was a success. Our other attempt to raise money to pay our debt was a dance and box social. Be- sides our two class parties and our Latin Club parties and initiation our good times were limited to basket ball, football and baseball. And again we were turned out into the world to spend our time as best as we knew how. We are Juniors now. It seems almost impossible that the years roll around so swiftly. Mrs. Roberts is our class advisor, Howard Day, presi- dent, Luella Vesey, vice-president, and Esther Fosnaugh, secretary and treasurer. This is a busy year for us with the Junior Play and Junior- Senior Banquet. --HENRIETTA SYPERSKI
