History of the Class of 1929 Four years of achievement have passed into time’s eternal discard, and the record for Ada High of the Class of 1929 is now complete. Four years of endeavor, four years of success, four years of progress, have made for the Class of ’29 a most enviable record, which should serve as an incentive for succeeding classes to follow on this established course of progress and accomplishment. The Class of ’29 has always been dominant in the activities of the school. The achievements of its students have brought honor and fame to the class and to the school. The contributions of this class to athletics, to dramatics, to literary and forensic enterprises, and to all causes for the higher development of the school, have been so outstanding that they make the history of the class an honor and a pleasure to unfold. Our class was organized September, 1925, with Royal Shanks as president, Paul Routson as Vice President, and Florine Baransy as Secretary-Treasurer. We chose red and white as our class colors and have carried them throughout our high school career. In our Freshman year we were well represented in school activities. Royal Shanks won the Franklin essay contest, and Josephine Conner received the first “A” among our girls for her ability in handling the basketball. We carried off the honors in the Interclass Contest and won the silver loving cup, with Royal Shanks winning the oration and Florine Baransy the short story. The Sophomore year found our class forging ahead with unabated enthusiasm toward a goal of progress. The Class of ’29 was organized in its second year with John States as president, Tom McGuffey as Vice President, and Lelrma Landon as Secretary-Treasurer. This year Royal was again successful and won the Lincoln essay prize. And again at Interclass we were successful and the cup remained in our possession. In addition to these scholastic activities, we also furnished our share of athletes in football, basketball, and track. Now comes the record of that illustrious year of the Class of ’29—its third year. The officers who directed the class during this year were George Hindall, president, Claudine Graves, Vice President, and Margaret Peterson, Secretary-Treasurer. During this third year, many of the classmen entered the ranks of football. Also in basketball the Class had capable representatives. Ray Harding, Harry Greenawalt, Miller Brown, “Johnny” States, “Cliff” Harding, Paul Routson, and George Hindall, all did their “bit” to make this season a success; and we were all justly proud of the purple “A’s” our class received. The Junior-Senior banquet was an important feature of the spring. We banqueted the Seniors royally, although it made our financial standing not so high. Again we won the Interclass Contest. We don’t want to be selfish but we would like to have it just once more. (Since the time of writing this wish has been realized. In winning the contest four consecutive years, we feel that the Class of 1929 has set a record that will not soon be equalled.) 1 inally we came to the rank of Seniors. Again we elected a very capable set of officers: Walter Routson, President; Ray Harding, Vice President; and Elizabeth Baker, Secretary-Treasurer. The annual play given by the class was entitled “Arnold Goes Into Business,” and was one of the greatest dramatic successes of the year. A capable cast of thirteen members presented the play. During the remainder of the year the worthv spirit of the Class of ’29 was evident in every branch of school life. A most splendid year was brought to an eventful close. Achievement was the keynote of the endeavor of the class. Now—Commencement—and the culmination of our high school career. With so magnificent a record behind us, and the world before us,— “Let us then be up and doing, With a heart for any fate; Still achieving, still pursuing, Learn to labor and to wait.” Margaret Bowers, ’29.
