CLASS OF ’28 In the year of 1924 a group of about 32 green, giggling children entered the ground floor of the building of High School Education and were led, by the initiation at the kid party, to the Hlevator of Progress, and ascended slowly, but surely, by hard studying and participation in school activities, such as dramatics, sports, Forensic and music, to the Sophomore department, where again they began climbing, studying, aiding the teams and plays, if only by their pat- ronization, performing a stunt at the box social, and enjoying a wienie bake given by the class. Now, at last, they have almost reached the third floor, of the Juniors, and are working steadily toward Senior Tower. DFP andi. HH. 28: Richard Hansen, president. William Leonesio, vice-president.

“SEVENTEEN” (APRIL 8-9) The plot concerns Willie Baxter, not a boy, not a man, just 17. Willie demanded a dress suit, was denied one, so he quietly borrowed his father’s, only to be found out by Jane, his young sister, and the most hated and baneful object of his life. All this was to make an impression on Lola Pratt, the baby-talk lady who was visiting May Parcher. Then on the last night of Lola’s visit he was left without a dance with her. He gives up women and decides to go to college. Much credit is due Miss Caldwell for her successful management of the play.
