First we elected ofhcers Rayburn Fitch captain elect of the basketball team was chosen president Mary Smythe was elected vice president Ethel Bryant secre tary, and Gerald Balsdon treasurer Miss Hance and Mr Brown were class spon sors. Ellen Dilger, Mildred Hollander, Marion Bennett, and Gerald Balsdon rep' resented our class in student government. jmjmmrg at , t i ' ll ll' f How big we felt, laying plans for distinction day, arranging social events, and choosing class colors! And yet, in all three we kept our heads and chose well. The combination of royal blue and white was selected as class colors. The Hrst social event of the junior year was a skating party. Then came Junior Distinction Day. The little theater idea was carried out, and our class colors were everywhere. Each act went off without a hitch, and the entire day was a great success. In fact, it was considered one of the very best dis' tinction days ever staged at Bosse. It was in the middle of the first semester that the junior class joined with the other classes of the school in bidding a reluctant farewell to its beloved principal, Roswell C. Puckett, who accepted the position of Supervisor of Schools in Toledo, Ohio, and welcomed as its new principal, Carl Eifler, who was principal at Centenf nial before he came to Bosse. At the end of the first semester of the junior year, Rayburn Fitch, our president, left the city, and Blount Wagner was chosen to lead the class. Mr. Spears was elected to fill the position as sponsor left vacant when Miss Hance accepted a posi- tion in New Jersey. Now we are seniors, looking back over our struggles to fame, sitting in the first nve rows of the auditorium, eating in the senior lunch room fwhich is not, however, as exclusive as it soundsj. At the head of our class is Clayborne McFetridge, who entered Bosse when we were juniors, but who soon overcame this handicap. Other officers are: Vicefpresif dent, Robert Triggg Secretary, Ethel Bryant, and Treasurer, Mary Smythe. Our sponsors are Mr. Brown and Mr. Spears. Directing student government is head prefect Donald Lashley. Ellen Jean Dil' ger is assistant head prefect. Other senior prefects are: Frank Fish, Tom Howard, Mildred Hollander, and Ethel Biyant. We remember with pride that our class was the first-and thus far the only- senior class to get its class rings before vacation and its sweaters before school began in September. The Class of '29 leads the school. From our class come the presidents of most of the organizations, our classmates form the nuclei of athletic teams, we lead stu' dent government, we feed the ranks of school debaters, scholars, editors of publicaf tions, captains of teams, contest winners. In a few short weeks all this will be withdrawn, and we will give to the school just another hundred or so alumni. But we hope that Bosse will remember us, even as we will remember Bosse-forever.
