jftREPLICg ft. Senior Class History In September 1926, a class of sixty-seven freshmen entered Bushnell High School. Sara Mae Boaz was elected president, La Rue Spiker vice-president, Mary Cobb secretary- treasurer, and Miss Turner sponsor. According to custom, we were initiated and came up smiling. In appreciation for this entertainment we entertained the three upper classes at a weiner roast. Now being full-tledged high school students, we became mem- bers of all the organizations to which freshmen were eligible. In athletics the girls ' basketball team won the tournament, and Ted Wright was elected captain of the boys ' second basketball team. The officers during our sophomore year were: President, George Alexander; vice- president. Bliss Soule; secretary-treasurer, Elbert Crowl; and sponsor, Miss Turner. A better showing was made in athletics for Clyde Pestle received a letter in football, George Alexander became a member of the boys ' second basketball team, and the girls continued as basketball champions. We were represented in G. A. A., Latin Club, Girls ' and Boys ' Glee Clubs, and French Club. Among many others, a delightful Hallowe ' en party was enjoyed. The next year proved even more successful than the two previous ones. Several familiar faces failed to appear, but most of our number still remained. Election of officers resulted with Keith Murphy, president; Bliss Soule, vice-president; George Alexander, secretary-treasurer; Miss Turner, sponsor; and Mrs. Adams, assistant sponsor. Many boys received football, basketball and track letters, and the girls still held the basketball championship. Juniors could be found in French Club, Glee Club, Home Economics Club, Block B, and G. A. A., several of them holding offices. The high school cheer leader was elected from our group. Ethel Mae Smith and John Rouse won the county declamation meet this year. A skating party, theatre party, and several picnics offered entertainment during the year. The Junior Play, Never Again, was a decided success as was also the Junior-Senior Banquet which closed the year ' s social activities. This, our senior year, we elected Olin Clark, president; George Alexander, vice- president; Woodrow Welch, secretary; John Rouse, treasurer; Miss Turner, sponsor; and Mr. White, assistant sponsor. The honor of captaincy of the football squad fell to Olin Clark, and of the basketball team to George Alexander. The girls upheld their previous record by winning the basketball tournament. Representatives from the class were found in the numerous organizations: La Rue Spiker, president of the G. A. A.; Ruth Rebman, president of the Home Economics Club; Erna Mann, president of the French Club; Bliss Soule, president of the Industrial Arts Club; Elbert Crowl, president of the Agriculture Club, and other seniors filled minor offices in these organizations. We demonstrated our musical ability by the senior members of the orchestra. Several seniors went out for declamation and enjoyed it very much. The Senior program was especially enjoyed by all. A Valentine party was a rather outstanding social event of this year. Perhaps the largest responsibility we had was sponsoring the Replica, the high school annual. Then came the Senior Play which proved the splendid talent of the Class of ' 30. The Juniors delightfully entertained us with a lovely banquet. Soon our senior days will be over and each member of the Class of ' 30 will travel a different road, but as we part at the crossways not one will forget those four profitable years spent in Bushnell High School. Our hope is that each of these roads will lead to success. fjyw Wff 0 Thirty-one
