Front Row—Becker, French, Miller, Hoerr, Adcock, Troxel, Snook, Peifer, l.own. In 1924. we, the class of ’28, entered the High School with flying colors. To see our looks of profound wisdom and assurance, no one would have dreamed that this was the Freshman class. The rest of the school soon discovered that we were all we looked. After due deliberation and discussion, we elected the following officers to pilot us through the year: Miss Brackney, class advisor; Joseph King, president; Delmar Houghton, vice-president; Raymond Regolka. secretary; and Mildred Foote, treasurer. We soon demonstrated our ability and proved, although it took quite a while with the teachers, that we were veritable geniuses. We collected a large sum of money, and on Thursday night, January 29, 1(125, we gave a party for the whole high school. It was quite a success, at least in our own opinion. In the fall of ’25 we entered upon our second year, with our positions fully established and our abilitv recognized by everyone. For our officers we selected the following: Miss Brackney, class advisor; Mildred Foote, president; Delmar Houghton, vice-president; and Bertha Becker, secretary-treasurer. Our activities centered about an initiation staged for the benefit of the new freshmen. We set such a tine example this year that even the upper classmen copied us in secret, although they would not admit it. We again entered the portals of A. C. H. S. in the early part of September this time as sedate Juniors. We elected as officers for the ensuing eai . Miss Houston, class advisor; Mabel Kurth, president; Howard Dagley, vice-president, and Harold Haines, secretary-treasurer. Most of our time has been spent this year in collecting money for the lunior-Senior banquet. Under Miss Houston’s guidance we have progressed ‘very well, and ablv retained the high standards we set upon entering old A. C. H. S. Colors: French-blue and white. FI. L. H., 28. Payc twenty-one
