Senior Class History ROBERT ROE Oh, here is to that band of gallant youth Who hold no fear of death or accident, And who prefer that life be spent For love, adventure, chance-not thoughts uncouth. HE famous poet who uttered these immortal words could have had in mind no-ne other than our own dear class of 1929. For when, next June, this class graduates, Buchanan I-ligh will lose one of the finest groups which she has ever imprisoned. As freshmen, the class first entrusted the reigns of her government to Clem Savoldi, presidentg Donald Fette, vice presidentg and Plhay Wilcox, secretary-treasurer. For the sophomore year the honored officers were Donald Fette, Mercedes Capen, and Zelda Schuemaker. Last year the class elected Zelda Schuemaker, Mercedes Capen, Thelma W7hittaker, and Ruby Boltz. The first real action was started in the junior year, when the class of l2Q first began to lead the school in all departments. Of the 1927 football team six juniors were members, and in the same year five juniors played on the basketball team which won the Regional Tournament at Kalamazoo. Never to be forgotten are the one-act plays which were staged later in the year, nor the fine reception which the class of ,ZQ prepared for the last year-'s graduating class. This term the class advanced even moreg eight seniors Were regular members of what is considered to be the hnest football team in Buchanan High's history. And the 1928-29 basketball team bids fair to win a state championship. Owing to the lateness of the date, the senior play cannot be mentioned, except to say that it will probably be a crowning achievement for a glorious career, . Thus we shall close our high school days, happy to end them, no doubt, for this end sets us forth upon another great adventure- Life w Page Twenty-tl ree
