H. S., from all parts of the township, in hopes of obtaining stores of wisdom. Moving cautiously up the imposing stairs, they made their way to the Freshman Room. Numerous questions about the location of rooms I-2-3-1 were heard whispered among this shy group, but once they reached the desired place, they were assured that they were ordinary human-beings and had no need to be frightened. With the aid of Miss Saddler the class was organized, and the following officers steered us through the year: Emily Corney, President; Robert Purcell, Vice-Presi- dent; Allen Coon, Secretary; Clifford Friling, Treasurer. The year passed quickly with numerous parties and other happy times. With no apparent ill effects save, perhaps, a decrease in number, the class advanced into its Sophomore term. Again Miss Saddler, the adviser of this class of twenty-two pupils, assisted us in electing the following officers: President. Allen Coon; Vice-President. Ross Porter; Secretary. Mildred Tullv: Treasurer. Emily C orncy. Wc remembered the bitter penalty put on us for being a freshman and we immediately passed it on to our predecessors. Outside of several parties and many good times the year passed quite uneventful. The great revelation now comes that this group of scared “ Presides” is now known as the “Jolly Juniors” of 29- 80, and have organized with the following officers: Ross Porter, President; Nancy Harker, Vice-President; Fredrick Carroll. S ec ret a ry - T reas urer. Our class has been represented in Declamation. Dramatics, Glee Clubs, G. A. A., on the Basketball floor, in Baseball and on the Track Field. Although busily engaged in school work, this class has taken, and takes, ample time for recreation and social activities. Our group is composed of ten clever boys and twelve bright girls, all of whom are endeavoring to come back next year and make a successful Senior Class of 1931. N. M. II. k TWENTY-NINE
