THE CENTENNIAL SENIOR CLASS HISTORY We, of the class which started on its journey along the highway called Education in 1923, have at last reached the first stopping place. From here some will continue along this same highway on through college, while others will set out on the greater highway of Life. As Freshmen we were a large, peppy class ready to meet anything. When our Sophmore year began we found that many members were missing. Some were left behind, while others went to other schools. Although there were only sixteen of us we managed to get our share of the work and pleasure as well. In our Junior year, the class increased in number to about twenty- nine. We put on a successful play called “Professor Pepp” and later gave the Prom at which everyone seemed to have an enjoyable time. This year closed with much anticipation of what the following Senior year would bring. Now this Senior year is almost at an end and soon we will join the ranks of the alumni, there to look back upon our happy high school life. Our class has always been well represented in both boys’ and girls’ ath- letics, as well as other activities of the Big Sandy High School. We wish to thank Mr. Moe, our sponsor, and other faculty members for their help and guidance during the past four years. MAMIE POKORNY, ’27 SENIOR CLASS POEM Not a tear from the eyes of sorrow, But a smile from the lips of the gay, In our world that will be tomorrow, An the world that we have today. The sun that arose this morning Plows on through the mists of doubt, ’Till it reaches the soul that’s yearning To filter the mist clouds out. Classmates of ’27 Shine out in your colors true ’Till the mists from the sun are driven And prosperity shines through. A handshake and cheer for the classes That we leave behind today A “sigh” and a few “alases” For the fellow who fell by the way. A heart full of thanks for the teachers Who taught us to do as we’re told. Let us now take our seats in the bleachers And cheer for the Purple and Gold. Ah, classmates of ’27! The world, it is ours to find. Let others track us to heaven By the good that we leave behind.
