1927 The Ata lanta -JUNIOR CLASS Back Row—Chrisman, Pierce, Cruse, Me Prayer, Haines. Middle Row—Dagley, Kindred, Foote, Kurth, Houston, Atchison, Johnson, King, Houghton. 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

1927 The Ata l a n ta SOPHOMOHE CLASS Back Row—Gordon, Williams, Coe, Crandall, Reinmiller, Rogers, Luther, Hoblit. Middle Row—Houghton, Parsons, Spence, Church, Neel, Watt, Kurtz, Mason, Gresham. Front Row—Shaw, Folk, E. Kurtz, Kurth, Applegate, Hoose, Kindred, Irish, Kaminsky. “Once upon a time,” two years ago (or, to be exact, 730 days), forty wide-eyed, green-looking Freshmen came to the A. C. H. S. assembly. We were not the usual dumb crowd that they call “Freshies,” but, to the surprise of the school, we were a very brilliant class. When the first few days had passed, and we bad had time to collect our wits, we held our first class meeting, and elected the following officers: Vaudrene Hoose, president; Florence Church, vice-president ; and Marjorie Satterfield, secretary-treasurer. After some deliberation. we chose Mrs. Kollman as guardian angel for our first year. In that period the climax of our social prestige was reached in entertaining the entire high school with a masquerade party. There we carried out an interesting program by having various talented members of our class broadcast from our own private station. Congratulations were received from President Coolidge and many other notables dwelling in all parts of the world. Now three hundred and sixty-five days have passed and we are not the awkward class that we were at first. The class officers for this year are: Marian Watt, president; Eldon Houghton, vice-president; Edna Irish, secretary-treasurer; and Mr. Coe, class advisor. As usual we gave the annual initiation for the Freshmen, to their great delight. Of course, we had to invite the lest of the high school and we showed everyone a good time at a wiener roast held near the historic Moore’s Mill. Although not of the same intellectual and cultured type as the Seniors, we, the Sophomores of A. C. H. S., for the years of 26 and 27. believe we are the most brilliant class in the school, surpassing everyone else in writing notes and giggling. Colors: Orchid and maize. F- M. C., ’29.
