THE CLASS OF 1928 OFFICERS Sponsor... Superintendent Bunney Vice-President ........Duane Sass President........Raymond Baumann Treasurer.. Dorothy Elliott Motto: Forward ever; backward never. Class Colors: Black and White. Flower: Lily of the Valley At the beginning of the school year 1924-25 this class of 1928 entered high school as freshmen. At this time the class consisted of forty-seven eighth grade graduates; twenty-one graduates of this school, twelve graduates of local parochial schools, and fourteen grad- uates of rural schools. When our class entered high school we were just as “green” as freshmen usually are, but it did not take long to find out what it was all about and so apply ourselves as profound seekers after knowledge. It was largely through the understanding and sympathetic guidance of our Sponsor Mrs. Amee Cummings Cole- man that we got along so well. By the beginning of the next school term eight had dropped out and two new members, Edna Runge and Blanch Vogel, had joined our class. The total enrollment was forty- one. Mrs. Coleman again was our sponsor. When we became Juniors our number was increased. Two members dropped out but five new members, Maurice McDonald, Harvey Ellis, Richard Nelson, Margaret Wagner, and Wanda Koontz were enrolled. Now our class totaled forty-four. During this year we were directed in our numerous activ- ities by our able sponsor Superintendent Linn. Superintendent R. A. Bunney was our sponsor during our Senior year the most import- ant year of our high school life. At this time our class numbered forty-one, four having dropped out and one, Carl Hilz having joined us at the beginning of the term. Thirty-seven of the present enroll- ment will graduate this spring. Four years of diligent application have developed among our members: thorough students, good athletes, musicians, typists, teach- ers, and excellent orators. What was merely a class of promise in 1924 is a class with an enviable record in 1928.
