THE SENIORS THE GMEGA The Class of Nineteen Twenty-Seven OST of our class entered the Ann Arbor High School in the fall of nineteen-twenty-three. As Freshmen we were no exception to the rule that such Students are bewildered and blundering in their inexperience, but it was not .for long. Entirely satisfied within ourselves, we advanced through the years, wholly oblivious of the superiority of the upper classes. ' Although we recognized the existence of the Seniors, we cared little or noth- ing about them until we ourselves became the Senior class. lN7e concentrated all our attentions on our own group, and thus we have grown up as a strong class. unified in spirit and achievement, with our aim set at leaving the school better than we had found it. It remains for others to judge whether we have accom- plished our end. If we have, we hope that coming Senior classes will follow our footsteps and make their purpose a continuance of ours: but if we have not, that they will profit by our mistakes, and do what we did' not. We have been proud of ourselves, but our pride is not peculiar to us alone. Every aggressive class has had as great a one. However, we consider that our pride has been well founded. ln our midst we have discovered four powerful orators who have caused our debating team to be rated among the best of the State: Patrick Doyle, Franklyn Forsythe, Nicholas Dinu, and Roland Stanger. Our dramatic abilities have had their exponents notably in Hannah Lennon. Jeannette Dale. Marian llfurster, Clara Parkinson, Townsend Clark, Neil XVar- ren, Mary Buffington, Charles VVi1son, and many others whose bright faces have often graced our Stage. VVe have been represented in athletics by Cyrenus Korzuck, Claude Stoll, Lloyd Cody, Nelson Cody, Chandler Bush, Franklin Forsythe, Martin Etzel. James Burleson, john Coryell, Samuel Domboorajian, Edward Sigerfoos, and Lester Zebbs. ' Our illustrious names have always amply filled the various honor rolls. In other words, we have been, collectively, the proverbial all-around student. The Student Council has flourished under our touch. the school publications could not escape our far-reaching influence, better music has never reverberated through the halls of the school than has been sounded from the instruments of our musicians. From among our number we have always been wise in selecting the best students for class ofhces, a fact well exemplihed by the choice of Townsend Clark as our capable president to guide us through graduation. Explain it however you will, we have never seen a class more quickly ac- commodate itself to the activities of school than has ours. nor could the organiza- tions have flourished more than they have under our guiding direction. The ideas of our philosophers-to-be have rocked the very foundations of the school build- ing. All in all, we have been a dominant class. CLASS DAY SPEAKERS CLASS Onfvron ......,..,...........
