Class 2)istorp BOOM! bang! boom! What’s that loud noise? Why. it’s only tho echo of tho entrance of the Class of ’28 into our venerable high school in 1019. Wo certainly were a green assembly, hut we wore very poppy and willing to loam and we soon learned the wicked ways of the world. Exerytlilng we undertook from Freshman Day to a Christinas party for the whole school was a howling success. Although we had no stars in any branch of school activities, we supported the team and helped haul the victories in. George Anderson, Vivian Fowler, Charta and Beatrice Michelet were the class officers during that year. Ah—hack again? The same bunch, although decreased in number and more sophisticated by our years of association with the inmates of this institution. During our Sophomore year we were represented on all fields of school activities. Helen DeRush. Earnest Means. Doris Hill and Ruth Nicholson were prominent in the musical field. John Calvin. Doris Hill and Rufus Webb in athletics. Earnest Means was on the debate team that won the championship in 1021. Although we did not give many social functions, those we gave were huge successes and enjoyed by all. Pearl Farley. Louisa Fowler and lone Holmes were the officers for that year. This year we became upperclassmen. What a distinction. We upheld the dignity of our position by giving a Junior Prom that excelled all others given by any Junior class. We were also represented in different fields of activities by having Doris Hill. McGregor Allan. Earnest Means, and Ruth Nicholson in the musical fields: Rufus Webb, Doris May. Raymond Pollock and John Jordan in athletics and Edna Souliere in Debate. We also had. through the nine months of school, the highest percentage of honor roll students of the entire school. Although we were not so successful in inter-class basketball games, we ave a fine girls’ baseball team and hope to clean up the rest of the teams. And when it comes' to selling tickets for any event, we Juniors established a record that few of the classes could rival. The class officers for the year were Edna Souliere, Doris Hill McGregor Allan. Charta Michelet and Xorine Kasch. Our accomplishments in work and play, during the first two years, were guarded by Miss Merrick and she successfully piloted one class through all the storms of our underclassmen days. During the last year Miss Wells has guided our wandering souls and it is to her influence and help that our success is due.

Jffantasy FROM the shelf the clock’s loud chiming Told that night was nearly o’er. But still I sat there cramming ’Till my brain would hold no more. And as I was sadly moping Wishing that the tests were o’er. My thoughts l cgan to wander. Away from all hook lore. Soon a dwarf appeared before me In a long queer gown of gray; And he said in tones of kindness “Come, my child, with me away. I’ll lead you to the hiding place Of the Record Book of the High, For without me you’ll ne’er find it. Though you search until you die.” Then I up and followed after And we hurried through the night. Oh! how the wind howled around us. The world was far Iwlow us With its twinkling light on light. As we flew on so swiftly Toward the great round moon so bright. When we reached our destination Out came the man in the moon. Who asked what we were doing TJp there in the month of June. And upon learning our mission He said I could read in the book But because of a recent ruling At one page alone could I look. He asked me of all of the many Which page I wished to see. And I answered without hesitation Why, the Juniors of Twenty-three. “There ne’er was a letter class (1 read) Than the Juniors of Twenty-three, Their’s the true spirit of the school. Their’s brains and ability. But here I paused to turn a page When hang! Amid great din I awoke to find me on the floor With a bump upon my chin. I threw my book across the floor As far as I could throw And then I flew away to bed As fast as I could go.
