We had lbeen told that we were to be initiated into the wonders of High School by the upperlclassmen but their bark was worse than their ls-ite and We soon found that High School was not such a had place after all. After we had sufficiently overcome our greenness we held a class-meeting and elected John Bennett ihigh cockalorum. We also chose our class colors-green and white. We broke into society with a corn roast. The upper classmen tried to 'break up our plans but, as upper classmen often do, they did not succeed. We next gave a party in the City Hall which was enjoyed by all the High School. Our officers safely steered us through the tracks of our first year in High School and we met vacation hoping that our next year would be as successful and satisfactory. We were then Freshies .but now are Sophomores 'and we too can turn up our noses even if it is only to the Freshmen. We are informed that we are one of the peppiest cl-asses that Dear Old Union has ever had and if all will pardon us we .think so too. We are very well represented in athletics both in basket ball and football and we have also kept our interest in the various social diversions. The number of Sophomore names on the Honor Roll proves that our class is not lacking in ability. ' So, fellow classmates, let us continue as we have 'begun and Protect Our Good Name!

STEPHEN BENNETT Where, O where, are the verdant green freshmen? is a query that might well be made :by any stranger visiting Union High. Where, indeed? On entering either Room nine or Room twelve, you may see a group of industrious young people with grave, in- telligent faces. Surely they cannot :be mere freshmen! VVhy, you might even take them for sophomores except for the serious expression on their faces. . This industrious class of ninety-two met soon after its entrance into high school and elected its pilots for the first and most perilous voyage, and also 'chose its class colors, old-rose and white. The class soon made its debut into social life holding a corn roast in Wheeler's Woods, which seemed to have as great an attraction for the upper classmen as for the freshmen. In fact, some sophomores and even, we fear, a few dignified f?J seniors were so anxious to get there that they waded through swamps and trainped through brambles, but even then they were not rewarded for their trials. They wrathfully stood and watched the heartless freshmen consume the luscious hot-dogs, corn, and marshmellows. It is impossible, of course, to prophesy the future of the class of nineteen hundred twenty-nine, but if we may judge by the change which it has effected already in the old school, we may safely say it will be no dull or commonplace career!
