Htf1Q.59UL!PeH,kInu . THE RIGHT START A modern school is very unlike the school of a generation ago. Those who plan school buildings must think of things which were not dreamed of twenty or thirty years ago as belonging to a school. We now make pro- vision for school doctors and nurses, play- grounds, school shops, school kitchens, voca- tional advisers and departments which are like the businesses which we see in the world out- side. All these have come to help the boy and girl to get a good start in life and to end the waste which is sure to follow a wrong be- ginning. Between the ages of fourteen and sixteen we should begin to work for the place we want to win. When we finish the elementary school we have the High School before us and many special kinds of schools. In the High School we find several courses open for our choice. ln all these secondary schools we find keen in- terest in the Colleges which High School grad- uates may go to or to the great professional schools or in the business openings which are ready for the young graduate to attend. It is a bad thing for one to drift and no one takes proper advantage of his school days without some aim as to the part he will play in later life. While yet young the girl or boy should set a goal and a high one which they intend to gain, and with great determination and keen interest they will be able to achieve success. Businesses, professions and trades are un- dergoing great changes and there has never been a time when life work planning is so needed as it is today. The boys and girls who merely drift along and at last Without any preparation find a job are not building a character at all. Developing plans and ideals for future life and service, then, is one of the greatest activities which home and school can encourage. -Doris G. Phillips. N o . U It was in 1916 in the old white school building that the Class of '28 began its career. Miss Champion was the teacher of its 35 mem- bers, five of whom are still in the class. Those five are: Emerson Gibbs, Shirley Marvin, Howard Maloney, Ruth Cleland and Mildred Bailey. Doris Phillips, coming from Kins- man, joined the class in the' Second Grade where they had Miss Lois Satterlee the first semester and Miss Hufnagle the last semes- ter as teachers. It went from the Second Grade in the long, white building to the Third Grade in the upstairs of the first building. Miss Vernie Perry was the teacher there. In the Fourth G1'ade Frances Miner, coming from Wayne, became a member of the class. The class did not change rooms or teachers this year. The fifth year was spent downstairs in the same building with Miss Poulson as teacher, who, during the year, married Robert Thorne. Before the end of the year she re- signed and Miss Elizabeth Smith took her place. Emerson Gibbs was here only one month of this year on account of going to Arizona. The sixth year the class moved to the old brick building. Here Oiva Arnio from Ashtabula, Forrest Cobb from Williamsfield I +o4+4++o +++eo+ +++r+0 0 and the teacher, Miss Olive Reynolds, joined it. Ruth Cleland was not with the class at all this year on account of illness. She was tu- tored at home by Miss Gelvin. During the following vacation the old brick building was torn down. The new building was not completed by the following September, so the class spent the Seventh Grade in the Council rooms. Howard Maloney was here only two months of this year, spending the re- mainder of the year in California. Mildred Bailey went to Williamsfield this year and did not come back for several years. The next fall the class was in the new building for the first time. Mr. Martin was the superintend- ent and Mrs. Martin was the principal. Here the new members were: Milton Martin, Loleta McCormick, Stella Uehlinger and Thelma Brooks. Mrs. Mary Gelvin was the teacher. When Freshmen the new teachers were: Miss Sponseller, Miss Baldwin, Miss Hall, Mr. Cercle and Miss Hoover. The new members that year were: Duncan McCombs, Grace Myers, Virginia Ballentine and LaDell Mead. This year the class was organized. Ruth Cleland was elected president, Emerson Gibbs, vice president, Milton Martin, secre- tary and treasurer. PAGE ... so-Q-Q-9-0+-Q-0-Q

04-Q-Q Q Q+o44+o+ 944444444-++o+4QOQ to-0444400 00 Q SENIOR NEWS The graduating class this year is small, only composed of nineteen members. But this does not mean that they are little and not big, for remember Napoleon who was very small of stature was one of the most powerful monarchs of all time. ' This year the members have taken a keener interest in athletics, perhaps due to the fact that Mr. Hicks, the home room teacher, is the boys' athletic coach. Three of the girls. LaDell Mead, Frances Miner and Mildred Bailey, were members of the varsity Basket- ball team, while Milton Martin, Forrest Cobb and Emerson Gibbs were right hand men on the boys' varsiety Basketball team. The girls' class team played in the final inter-class game. losing the pennant to the Eighth Graders. In the mid-season, Volleyball was enjoyed by the pupils remaining at school at noon. The Baseball teams also were composed of both boys and several girls from this group. Four members of the graduates are faith- ful players in the band and orchestra, name- lyg Loleta McCormick, accompanist of the or- chestra, also a cello playerg Shirley Marvin, mellophoneg Emerson Gibbs, saxophoneg Mil- ton Martin, cornet. The Harmony Se1'e- naders have furnished several interesting musical programs in chapel throughout the year. Emerson Gibbs and Ruth Cleland were members of the debate team, while Doris Phillips and Shirley Marvin were participants in the declamation contest. Richard King rep- resented Andover in the County Oratorical Contest at Orwell this term. Prof. Martin thinks that the Senior girls must be securing enough finery to get mar- ried instead of graduating from the number of excuses he has written for the last two months for shopping expeditions. Loleta McCormick is given honorable men- tion for having a perfect record for attend- ance and no tardiness during her four years of High School. Frances Miner was chosen the most popu- lar girl in the school at the school carnival in March. Shirley Marvin has secu1'ed much experi- ence as a sub teacher in the grades this year. Mildred Bailey has filled the position of oflice girl this year, a position quite educa- tional. Although there are several in the class who have been on the honor roll at various times during the course, the ones who survive as honor students are Ruth Cleland, Shir- ley Marvin and Mildred Bailey. On May 18 the class gave its play, Mrs, Jims' Romance, to a large appreciative audi- ence. Much credit and praise is given to Mr. Hass and the cast of characters for the splendid performance which they rendered. All of the class participated in this either in the cast or as entertainment between acts. SOCIETY On the first Friday night of November, 1927, the High School gave the Freshmen and the newcomers their first taste of society in A. H. S. The evening began with stunts and games on the lawn, then the much puzzled and frightened Freshmen were invited by the Seniors into the audito1'ium. They were as- sembled on the stage before King Richard. who sentenced the culprits to pay for their childhood pranks. Later the subdued were served refreshments, and all departed, tired. yet happy. The next event in the social life of the Seniors was a Hallowe'en party held at the home of Myron Dain in Pierpont. Everyone reported a good time. At the beginning of Basketball season a g1'oup from Andover High attended the an- nual athletic banquet held in Rock Creek. On February 13 the Seniors and friends. mostly from the Junior Class, journeyed to Warren and had dinner at the Park Hotel and American Restaurant. Later they attended Robbins Theater. Those who went with Ker- mit Lewis were furnished with entertaining army stories. Wednesday evening, March 7, 1928, the teachers of the entire school gave a St. Pat- rick's party in honor of the boys' and girls' Basketball teams and their coaches. The group was divided into two parts, The Mul- ligans and Cas.sidies. Contests were car- ried out between the two groups as entertain- ment. At a late hour all assembled in the lunch room where refreshments were served. Superintendent Martin gave a fitting talk and presented letters to those who had been faith- ful to the teams. Upon departing all wished next year's Basketball teams a successful year. On Friday evening, May 11, the Seniors and High School Faculty were entertained at Shirley Marvin's. The fore part of the eve- ning was spent in playing progressive Bingo Then games and music amused the guests for awhile. A two-course luncheon was served by the hostess. The guests de- parted at a late hour, proclaiming it to be one of the most enjoyable of the Senior parties. The Senior Class and the upstairs fac- ulty of A. H. S. were entertained by the Juniors at a party held in Crystal Lake Club House, Saturday evening, May 19, 1928. Dancing, Cards and games were the main features of the evening. Everyone spent an enjoyable time. The Girls' Glee Club held a dance at Crystal Lake. The Linesville orchestra fur- nished the music for the event. --Stellar U elzlinger.
