Class History Back in 1927, a group of boys and girls were graduated from various grade schools and entered Abraham Lincoln junior High School. Since they were all very brilliant pupils and the first 713 class to enter the new building, the upper classes found them quite superior to the average freshief, During the first year they did well in everything. But good fortune cannot last forever. A few of the number have been lost by the wayside. decreasing the number. The class has been represented on most of the school's activities. Marian Kjell has been the editor-in-chief of The Limolu, 1.0g, while james LaMasney is on the staff. Leonore Blomquist is editor-in chief of the Annual. Many others take an active part in the work of the staff. Dexter Anderson and Lyle Johnson are the business managers; Leona Beatty is features editor; Virgil Moore, athletic editor; and Marie Dahlin and Elaine Lundgren in charge of the Calendar. Marion Delaney and Marjorie Swanson managed the subscrip- tion campaign. Many of the 9A's are members of the school band under the leadership of Mr. Haight. The 9A's form a large part of the orchestra under the direction of Mr. Bornor. Ten members of the class are members of the Student Council. They have helped that organization do its excellent work for the school. Th 9A's have always displayed much enthusiasm for promoting games and other projects of the school. They have shown themselves as leaders in selling tickets. Many of them have been members of the Athletic Council, and have served in that capacity. Betty Patton, Nancy Chioppi, and Mabel Lindstrom 0f 9A-3 were Cheer leaders. On April 2, Mr. Hanna called the First meeting of the class for the pur- pose of organization. Miss McGrath was elected adviser. The second meet- ing of the class was called by Miss McGrath on April 16. The class officers were then elected. They were as follows: james LaMasney, president; James Stiles, Vice-president; and Charles Lyman, secretary and treasurer. There are at present 354 members of the class. We hope that all will safely reach senior high school. page twenty-four 1930 TTh-TJ
