CLASS HISTORY On the second of September in the year 1928 our bunch of green Freshies, yet not as green as usual, entered A. C. H. S. As soon as we had our wits collected we had a class meeting and elected Julia Reinmiller, President; Andy McKnight, Vice-President; Roy Foote, Secretary-Treasurer and Miss Bayless as Class Adviser. We gave the High School a very clever Hallowe’en and later had a Bunco party just for our distinguished class and their favorite guests. The next year our brilliant class came back (all who were able) and soon after the beginning of the year elected Harold Riley, President; Frank Hoblit, Vice-President; Emma Louise Hoblit, Secretary and Treasurer. We are looking forward to our next two years in High School with much anticipation. Of course we’ll come out on top. J. R., ’32. Page 13 -

1930 HE J1TALANTA 1930 COMMERCIAL GROUP First Row: Beverly, Billiter, Sullivan, Paulsen, Johnson, McKinnon, Hooten. Second Row: Cheatham, Coons, Zollars, Williams, McCombs, Adams, French. Hoblit, Dellinger (Instructor). Third Row: Applegate, Foote, Baker, Estes, Howe, Pittenger, Swan, Johnson. Riley. Fourth Row: Crawford, Gipson. Miller, Edwards, Irish, Hammitt, Brown, Zoellers, Shifflet, Kindred. The Commercial Group, after some difficult}' in securing a room, finally settled down to business with the enrollment of thirty-five members. Under the careful guidance of Mr. Ralph Dellinger, work went along very rapidly. Five had received certificates of award for speed and accuracy before the end of the first semester. How remarkable! The enrollment for each of the classes is as follows: In typing class there were fourteen students; in shorthand class there were twenty-four students; and in the bookkeeping class there were fifteen students. Commercial work was introduced into A. C. H. S. in 1927. Great progress has since been under way. Many remark yearly, that they wished the Commercial work had been organized when they were in high school. Perhaps we will be thankful some day that this course was offered while we were still in dear old “A. C. H. S.” P. I. G., ’30. — ‘Page 15 —
