WAYNE HIGH HISTORY OF CLASS OF '28 Entering the doors of Old Wayne Hi September, 1924, our class numbered 31. We were the Only Class. Everyone seemed to look up and take notice. Things were different, but not as had been expected. Our high school career might be compared to the shifts of a machine. As Freshmen we were in low, going rather slowly, and taking the bumps rather carefully. However, each one was willing to do his duty in work and play. We were successful in athletics, producing 2 on the first team and 3 subs. The girls of '24 won the B. B. tournament in the new Gym at Waynesfield. This year ended only too soon and we were Sophomores. Wayne Hi greeted us in our Sophomore year with a new Superintendent, Mr. W. K. Wilson, who took the place of Mr. W. S. Younger. Also a new principal, Mr. Paul Wen- ger, taking the place of Mr. Nelson T. Howe. Everything fairly boomed, new clubs and organizations were started. This year our class had shifted from low to second, we were now taking the bumps more easily, and were also traveling at a higher rate of speed. Again our class shone in athletics and in glee club. We also had the honor of having proved some of the theories in Geometry, that never had been proven by any other person, and by methods never before used. This year our class numbered 26, several having dropped out. It was this year that the first Souvenir Program of the Waynesfield school was published. Vividly we recall our Junior year and its activities. Three new teachers came to .Wayne Hi in '27: Mrs. W. K. Wilson, Latin teacher, taking the place of Miss Martha Crawford, Mr. Walter Cook, principal and athletic coach, taking the place of Mr. Wen- ger, and Miss Beulah Yinger, instructor in music. As Juniors we made a third shift, now we were in high, going at a rather swift rate of speed. Our knowledge of the past seemed to serve as balloon tires, smoothing out all the bumps, making the road pleasant to travel. We letiour lights shine out with the class of '27 in English Literature. Our secret motto was put into practice this year: Do it as the teachers say, and it will spell success. The Junior play, Eyes of Love and Junior-Senior reception were two of our greatest successes as a class. On entering school this year some were glad, others sad, with this thought. It is our last year in Old Wayne Hi. As Seniors we had 17 members, 8 girls and 9 boys. Several of our former class mates were married, others quit school, and took up differ- ent kinds of work. However, we were greeted with two new teachers, Miss Roberta Williams, music instructor, taking the place of Miss Yinger. Also Miss Edith Witten, filling the place of Miss Freda Trumbull, as English instructor. New class mates also greeted us, coming from neighboring towns. This year has been one Golden Time, all our work and play have blended to make a golden spot in the book of memory. Perhaps some people are wondering what shift our Senior year could be compared to, as no other remains, but reverse. I will set my readers right by saying we were not in reverse, but fContinued on Page 325 'll al Page Seven
