THE 1928 g if? CHAMPION Q The Class of 1930 T SEEMS to be a generally accepted fact that all freshmen are green-a fact fortunately not so much recognized by individuals of the class at that time, as perhaps, in the following year. The present Sophomore class was no excep- tion'to such a fact. Theirs was the true verdure of the freshman, but since greenness indicates growth, it is with a feeling not of shame, but rather of pride that this class now recalls its history of nearly two years. It was in the early fall of 1926 when the first meeting of the class was called and out of a chaos of about four hundred or more freshmen came an organized body with Wilbur Peterson as president, Earnest Horton, vice-president, John Starr, secretaryg Buford McGhee, treasurer. These officers realizing the responsibility as well as the honor conferred upon them conducted themselves in a most creditable way, whether on the football field fighting for the Purple and Gold, or at the Junior-Senior Ban- quet, representing the class. Very noticeable progress in these officers is indicative of the progress in the entire class. Much bashfulness has been overcome, much self- confidence and wisdom gained, while the Central spirit has become a part of the individual make-up of each member. The class of 1930 during its existence at Central High School has been an active class manifesting commendable spirit where class pride and school spirit were con- tested. Whether gainers or losers the situation has been met well. In athletics the class has made a splendid record. In football, Howard Smith, Wilbur Peterson and Chester Underwood have been the means of bringing credit and honor to the Purple and Gold. In basketball likewise the class has reason to be proud of Fred Sheerer. In 1927 the freshman girls won the loving cup in girls' athletics for superiority over other classes in this line of work. In the Grchestra and Glee Club, Dorothy Martin, Jewel Kragen, Elizabeth White, Edna Gothard, Marie Schneider have made for themselves and their class a name worthy of recognition. In the ticket-selling contest of 1926, this class won third place-an honor not to be despised when the inexperience of the class of that time is considered. In this the Sophomore year the outlook for the class of 1930 is most promising. VVith efficient leaders, Robert Baker, presidentg Wilbur Peterson, vice-president, John Martin, secretary, Hortense Byrd, treasurer, class spirit has been keen and loyalty to Central has been displayed repeatedly.
