1928 . The SEQUQIA 1928 UL' 12 Seniur lates:-I The class which entered A. T. H. S. in '24 was not different from any other Freshman class, except that they might, perhaps, have been just a bit more ill-assorted, more mischievous, or more verdant than previous beginners. Though they were of as- sorted sizes, physicially or otherwise, graduates of many different schools, and possessing exceedingly different ideas, they soon came to enjoy each other's company. From their initiation into the family of A. T. H. S. by the Juniors, they emerged a trifle meekly, to proceed through that year of trials in an industrious though no less uproarious manner. The next year found the ulirolicsome Freshiesv turned into Studious Sopho- mores, just a little more sober, more industrious and more determined than ever. Dur- ing this year, an attempt was made at organizing a united class. Though the efforts of some of the most ambitious members of the class were wielded toward that end, we must confess that it was not the great success that they had hoped. Nevertheless, the class was well represented in social events and in athletics. On the whole, the year passed swiftly and uneventfully away. lt was not until they became jovial, well-informed Juniors that the class suc- ceeded in obtaining some semblance of the unity for which they had so long striven. Wfith a unity of spirit once established, the combined efforts of the class were directed toward giving their Seniors a real send-off. These juniors have the distinction of being the hrst class to present a Prom- enade in connection with the annual Banquet. Their diligent efforts were crowned with the laurels of success, and they bade their Senior playmates a sad farewell. The next year found our heroes and heroines enjoying the privileges accorded only to lofty Seniors. There were now twenty-seven of them, grown from a weak, dis- jointed group of people to a firm, united class. On December 9, 1927, the Senior play, A Full Housef, was presented. It was the result of many weeks of concentrated effort on the part of its cast, and the full house that attended recognized it as an achievement of some merit. With the Senior play successfully accomplished, the class was able to turn once again in earnest to their studies, so beloved by some, and by others not at all. Soon the doors of A. T. H. S. will again swing shut on a departing class. An- other group will leave that family of which they became members four years ago. But when they go forth to enter that still greater family of Life, it will be with pride in old A. T. H. S. and only pleasant memories of happy days spent behind its doors.

Richert Folbrick A lost group of Freshmen found their way into the A. T. H. S. in September 1925. Before the month was over, they had been initiated by the Juniors, and gradually settled down to study. The greatest achievement of their Sophomore year was the welding togeth- er and formation of a firm and united class. The Junior-Freshman party was the opening social event of the following year. On November 4, 1927, the Junior County Fair was a product of the combined efforts of the class. During their years at school, the Junior Class has proven itself deserving of recognition in the athletic and social, as well as scholastic Helds. At present, the Annual Junior-Senior party is being planned, and we hope it will be a success worthy of their past achievements. We speak with fongzzes more than you all. Page Sixteen
