CLASS HISTORY Mrs. Keep was a very much perplexed teacher when in September, 1918, a group of forty-four children were given over to her, whose duty it was to teach us the fundamentals of education. Our first two years were spent in pleasure, but we found them very essential in our later life. In the second and third years our teachers were ] Iiss Schovill and Miss Crain respectively. During this time several new addi¬ tions were made to our class; namely, George Beebe, Lyle Webb, and Donald Dick. But for every gain there must be some loss. Our loss was the moving away of Nellie Masters, Willis Ransburg, and Chrystal Holmes, and the ad¬ vancement of Marion Yoder, Kathryn Ramsay, and Raymond Leininger. No noteworthy incidents occurred in the fourth and fifth rooms. Suffice it to say that we lived and in some way came to be promoted to the sixth grade in January, 1928. Our teachers in tln se rooms were Miss Goodale and Miss Par- sell in the fourth grade, Miss Schinbeckler in the fifth grade, and Miss Coveil in the sixth grade, each of whom contributed greatly to the development of our somewhat feeble minds. During this time Opal Wright, Perry Louis Gay, and Mary Lampman cast their lot with us, to share our adventures, our trials, and our tri bulations. Nelson Soles, Mary Moffett, Lillian Avery, Edward Waller, Elizabeth Lucas, and Betty Graf moved away. In the seventh and eighth years under the direction of Miss Wright, Miss McWilliams, Mrs. Keckler, and Mrs. Akey respectively, we were given the finishing touches of grade school training, and in January, 1926, we were promoted to high school. By this time our class had grown both physically and mentally. Here we were joined by Glema Penick, June Gordon, Russell Burkhalter, and Betty Graf. At this time Cecil Dolph and Mary Lampman moved to other parts. We were introduced into the ways of high school by Mr. Hayes who was then principal, and after considerable effort and worry, we advanced from freshman to sophomore, from sophomore to junior, and from junior to senior where we now receive the honors of graduation. During our high school course we were joined by Gordon Rose. Paul Groshon, John Zimmerman, Bessie Horn, Imogene Blackburn, Leona Folck, Hope Sutton, Malinda Niehous, Martra Helme, and Bonnita James. To our regret we lost during our high school career Teddy Parrott, Jordan Woodhull, and Mary Lampman, all of whom moved away, and Helen Helme and June Gordon who were graduated in three and one half years. Among the forty-four who started in the primary grade, only fifteen are left to graduate. They are Robert Stevens, Charles Triplett, Ruth Guilford, Margaret Mast, Katherine Wilder, Lewis Williamson, Ilene Ilolderness, Eliza¬ beth Harshman, Robert Ritter, Henry Willis, Doris Clark, Edna Carpenter, Lois Harman, Betty Graf, and Harry Cook. —HARRY COOK.

CLASS POEM We started twelve long years ago In dear old A. II. S. But gone forever now we know Are trials and feats we met. Our first eight grades sped well along With joys, and sorrows, and fears, ’Twas here we formed our rights and wrongs That follow throughout our years. Then came that frightened Freshman year, (0, times, of all dark times) Because of teachers we had fear We strove to keep in line. But with the coming Soph’more year We learned well many a thing; An attitude of smiles and cheer Throughout our souls did ring. And then as Juniors we were known. When banquets, games, and rings Throughout that crowded year had shown, We felt like ruling kings. But now we all are full fledged Seniors, And back with teary eyes We ' ll often gaze at cherished treasures Of dear Angola High. To parents, teachers, friends so true, To those with whom we live, ’Though hard for us to show, to you All thanks we want to give. —Bonnita James.

HONOR STUDENTS The class of 1930 is proud of the above group of honor students who during their high school work have made averages of ninety per cent or over. These students include more than half the entire senior class whose average is eighty-seven ' per cent. Robert Stevens, attaining the highest average, has the honor of being valedictorian. Katherine Wilder, receiving the next high¬ est average, is salutatorian. This is a record for Angola high school which we hope the succeeding classes will always maintain and raise.
