Class of 1928 President—Marcus Williamson Vice President—Lena Dew Secretary—Everett Robbins Treasurer—Lillian Kinney On the date of September 9. 1924 a class of twenty worthy Freshmen entered the Valley High. They held their first class meeting early in October and elected Lillian Kinney as their president. In the latter part of October they participated in the inter-class volley-ball tournament, defeating the Seniors. The important social event of the year was the Freshman-Sophomore party. The class is distinguished for turning out two basketball boys, Marcus Williamson and Clement Connelly. Later in the season, Chester Morrill and Howard Brown also made the team. Beth Baldwin, from this class, was the captain of the girls’ team. In debate, Alice Willey, Marcus Williamson, Lillian Kinney, and Charles McLane have represented the class successfully. Alice Willey was also selected to take part in the Junior play, Her Husband’s Wife.” Page Twenty-Five

Class of 1927 • President—Ruth Brown Vice President--Clifton Beaulieu Sec.-Treas--Caroline Block In numbers, this class does not rank as high as other classes, but in quality, it more than makes up for its lack of quantity. Several of the school leaders are members of this class. Ruth Brown and Clifton Beaulieu were selected for the inter-society debates. In athletics, Alwyn Smith was captain of the basketball team for two years, and this year Clifton Beaulieu and Kermit Bartlett made the team. Ward Duffield has served as the business manager of the ‘‘Country Gentleman’’ campaign for two years. In all musical affairs of either school or town, Ruth Brown has had a prominent part. So, even tho few in numbers, the Juniors have consistently held up their share of school activities. One of the honors that has come to the class is the fact that in 1924 Caroline Block maintained the highest scholastic record in the school. As The Mound Builder is going to press, the Juniors are working on their class play—“Her Husband's Wife.” Ruth Brown, Ruby Pavin, Clifton Beaulieu, and Ward Duffield are taking part in it.

Class of 1929 President—Merle Sullivan Sec.-Treas.—Enid Ironside The Freshman class are in several senses of the word the first. In num- bers and in greenness they are certainly first, and they are the beginning of a new school. The first noteworthy event of their year was the initiation party held in the gym on October second. After performing to the complete satisfaction of the upper classes, they were made to feel that they were indeed a part of the high school. Shortly after initiation, ten of the class were selected for parts in the fall operetta, “The Toreadors': Irving Broich, Robert Brown, Enid Ironside, Florence Stassen, Nellie Malloy, Dorothy Meade, Merle Sullivan. Vitaline Stassen, Edna Fairclough, and Florence Oletzke. Five of the girls were on the basketball squad—Fern Gregor, Enid Ironside, Edna Fairclough, Anna Block, and Dorothy Duehr. If we may judge from one year’s record, the Freshmen are destined to take an important role in the activities of the school during the next three years. Page Tu'en ty-S ix
