IUNIORS '29 THE sun slowly rose on September 12, 1927. As it sent its warm beams throughf out the world, they fell on the beautiful airship T. H. S. '29, fastened to a hanger in the air of knowledge, ready to fly to the Land of Hearts' Desire. The long jourf ney began and as it slowly rose one could see its color fcrimson and silverj painted on its sides. One of the crews consisted of forty eight Juniors: their captain was Bernard Bordeaux, the quartermaster, Miss Lingenfelter. This crew was encouraged by the clear skies and decided to work hard, but after a few weeks their youthful hearts became terrorized at the dense fogs, spontanous combustions, and tests which they had to pass through. As time went on they matched their skill against the demons of the air and became wiser and stronger. In the second semester Corporal Woods came aboard and decided that two Juniors had passed the test necessary to be promoted to the air ship T. H. S. B42 and as this made the crew on A929 small he promoted twentyfseven from Af1O airship. It was then necessary to appoint a new captain and quartermasters. These wereg Cap' tain Merrit Bradshaw, quartermasters, Miss Mabee and Mrs. Ivforse. During this time on board, many members of the crew were able to show what they could do for the good old airship T. H. S. '29. The crew is especially proud of the ability which was exhibited by the boys in athletics. In football-Alfred Jaunsem, Roy McReynolds, Robert Bartlett, and Alf fred Pennington. In basketball-Orville and4I-Ioward Hudson, Joe Townsend, Charles Rupple, John Kolesar, and LaDorn Hall. The junior boys won both interclass bas' ketball and interclass track meet. The Tightwadf' the junior class play, was an excellent bit of art on the part of the cast and Miss Lingenfelter who coached the play to success. To have knowledge is to know, and since that knowledge can be obtained only through increasing efforts of the class of '29, they look ahead and prepare for the time when their ambition and efforts may be fuliilled.
