The Class of '29 entered high school with an enrollment of eighty-nine. As is the custom, we were not organized as a class until the middle of the year. Owing to the work of our president. Howard Brown, the Annual prize for getting the largest number of paid subscriptions was awarded to us. Several from the class went in for athletics, but did not earn places on the first teams until the next year or two. Wilda Connolly and Phyllis Lynch won honors in the local speaking contest of 1927 and Roberta McClarty won second prize in 1928. One thing of which we are proud is the fact that we had the highest number of points in track last year. Quite a few members of our class have become well known through their good playing in football. They are Harry Drake. Edward Daniels, Paul Hair. Frank McCauley, Robert Flood, and Frank Baker. Until this year, basketball has been rather of a side line in our sports, but now it is one of the principal ones. Those of our class on the teams are Alda Thorp. Dorothy JBonser. Josephine Thurston. Marion Knowles, Harry Drake. Earl Beach and Carl Sage. Now we are looking forward to the Junior Stunts which will be given to earn money for the Junior-Senior banquet although by giving moving pictures, bake sales and parties we have about half the amount we will need We are hoping next year, though we have lost about one-half of our members, that we will be able to help in publishing the Annual as much and perhaps more than the Seniors who have come before us and that we will live up to the expectations of those interested in us.
