m lemau THE CLASS OF e, the class of twenty-seven, Once were twelve times seven; And tho we have been quite decreased, Never have our struggles ceased. All athletics we surely attend, e’ve always a helping hand to lend; We have always been as one, 1 hrough our work and through our fun. Football players we have but five. To do their best, they always strive, Each one plays with all his might, Ever true throughout the fight. In dramatics we won the day, We’ll carry these laurels for aye; We produced them all with work, Not one of us was trying to shirk. In home economics our girls stand high. Some day their ability, they will apply. We have some very good little cooks. And you can tell that by their looks. We might have an orchestra in our class, Our musicians you could never surpass. We’ve violins, cornet, drums, and banjo, Ukuleles, clarinet, saxophone, and piano. We also have some artists fine. They draw with almost perfect line. And then some day with this array. On the path of fame they will stray. We’ll send forth praise for glad schooldays, When merry voices we will raise. And our class song will trill. O’er and o’er these beautiful hills.

The following officers were elected : Seeley DeKay, president; Esther inters, vice-president. e entered as Sophomores with an enrollment of about forty members and elected the following officers: Esther Winters, president; Glenn Wilcox, vice president; Ann Campbell, treasurer. As it was our turn to entertain the Freshmen we gave them a welcom-ing party. We took an active part in the interclass oratorical contest. The following contestants represented our class; Olive Walt, Carol Rogers, and Seeley DeKay. Olive Walt won first prize. We entered as Juniors with an enrollment of about forty members. As the Juniors are allowed to have the Hallowe’en dance, we put it on this year as is the custom and made a success of it. which added quite a little sum to our treasury. We put on some plays before the high school which were also successful. Xext year as Seniors we hope to carry out our high school course as successfully as it has been in the last three years. If I could paint the things I see, Things most beautiful they would be. I’d paint a sunset of flaming gold. Where streamers of crimson unfold. I’d picture the moonlight Glowing o’er a great sand dune. O. what a wondrous night! The desert by the light of moon! I’d paint a bird on wing; ’Twould be a beautiful thing; I’d make its color blue— That’s happiness for me and you. Margaret Cullen ’28 THE ARTIST Josephine Tremaine ’28 i Page thirty =
