years. Don Hayne, Herman Kropp, Earl Stone and Wallace Palmer were the players. The Seniors on the tennis team were Lucile Murphy, Lee Rohrbough and Arthur Potwin. In other sports, also, our Seniors have excelled. The class of twenty-eight has a record of interclass activities of which to be proud. For two years this class has won the cup by defeating the other classes in the majority of interclass contests, including debate, girls’ volley ball, girls’ basketball, boys’ basket- ball, baseball and tennis. It is likely that they will possess the cup for the third time. The girls deserve a great deal of credit for their share of victories. Nine out of ten of those who took the O. S. C. intelligence test, in which Albany ranked first in the state, were Seniors. Not only the records of these few mentioned, but also the accomplishments of others who are equally capable, efficient and dependable along other lines, could be favorably brought to your notice, if space permitted. As a whole, the class of twenty- eight is a very talented class and worthy of your consideration. Yours sincerely, Reporter of the class of nineteen hundred and twenty-eight. AHS:DC Thirteen
