Uhr Krplira , V Y 1 , B. B. 9. 1527 F lfQ'flllfl!5?l -- CLASS l'llSTORlJ Sailing over the sea of learning for eight years we, the class of '27 with forty-three members in our crew, boarded the large ship High School on the first Monday morning in September, 1923. Three other organized bands were aboard this large ship of learning, the Seniors, juniors, and Sophomores. As we were fresh from the small seas they called us Freshmen. We soon found that each band on this ship had self government, and that the faculty guided the ship and directed the work of each band. We chose Dorothy Fry, pressident, Helen Hoyle, vice president, Dean Sperry, secretary and treasurer, and Miss Cora Dancy, class sponsor. During that year we were considered green by our upper classmen, and after being initiated at the first of the year, were tenderly guided and directed. Our next year was a little more comfortable for us. We were accustomed to this new method of sailing, and were able to aid the new members of the crew who were in turn called Freshmen. That year we elected De.an Sper- ry, president. Helen Hoyle, secretary and treasurer. and Mr. Alberit Stuhmer, class sponsor. We enjoyed many parties and a bob-sled ride that year, and felt that we were sailing in clear weather by then. Some of our members stood out on account of their athletic prowess, namely - Dick Foster in foot- ball .and track and George Kuhlke also in football. Dsorothy Fry deserves honorable mention for she repres-ented our school alt the district track meet in the oratorical contest. How proud we were to become upper classmen! Our officers were Dean Sperry president, George Burke vice president, and Ruth Jones secretary and treasurer, and Mlisis Ruth Auld, class sponsor- This was a busy year for us. We immediately faced the problem of making money in order to entertain the Seniors at a banquet. Our first step was to sponsor a lyceum course. The whole class put forth great effort and the proceeds were large. However, this was not enough money and numerous other money-making schemes were put into use such as markets and moving picture show benefits. The lar est event of the 'ear was the unior-Senior banc uet. iven on the . . 3 . first day of May. This was a great success and a memorable evening. That year more boys represented our class in athletics. Th-ese were Dick Foster, Dean Sperry, George Kuhlke, Randall Paul Everetlt Westlake, and John Morris. As Seniors we are sorry that our voyage on this great ship is almost ended, but feel that wie have acquired much knowledge during these pasrt four years. Our officers are Dean Sperry, president, George Burke, vice president, Ruth jones, secretary and 'treasurer and Miss Ruth L. jones, class sponsor. Our first 'task was to initiate the freshmen, and to this task we admin- istered justice. We have the privilege of taking charge of the edition of the Replica, In athletics we are proud of our letter m-en: Dean Sperry, Elzie Myers, John Morris, Lawrence Foster, Everett Westlake, George Kuhlke, Edgar Baughman, and Homer Stoddard. We have tried to make the past four years -a success and feel that we have gained much. And now we are boarding the ship of Future Life. VVe have left a few of our members behind, but thirty-four remain with us. We are sorry to lieave, but hear the call of a greater life for us, so we cheerfully leave the name Seniors to the class of '28.-D. M.

Our family physician, Dr. Reedy, was called on Sunday night before date of document, found us all there and we were pronounced to be of sound mind though a little light of head, due to on-coming dates. A will was acl- vised .as the only sure way of accomplishing an end. Therefore we do hereby make, publish, and declare this to be our last will and testament, hereby revoking all former wills. Be it known that all members of the Senior Class unsfelfishly bequeath the following property: To the faculty we leave many thanks for the care with which they have helped us to our separate goals.
