 History of the Glass of 1929 Time rolls on in its ceaseless course! Is it possible that four years have passed since we entered Butler High as green freshies? Although we were an unusually small class, we immediately proved our worth by defeating the Class of 1928 in the Freshman-Sophomore Speaking Contest. The summer of 1926 was memorable for us, for during those two months we went through a mysterious transformation in which we changed from “freshies” to experienced Sophomores. Despite this change, we kept up the good work by defeating the Class of 1930 in the Speaking Contest. In this same year we made our debut in the social world. The occasion for this was a Valentine Dance in which we were aided by Miss Padgett and Mrs. Dilzer. The next year since we were firmly established in the life of the school and had taken our places as upper classmen, we determined to make our influence felt. A few weeks after organization we started preparations for the autumn dance. This “Domino Dance” was under the supervision of Mrs. Van Nimwegen. Our success in this event inspired us to greater efforts in our Junior Prom which turned out to be the crowning achievement of the year. As soon as the Seniors had left for Washington, we started to accumulate funds for OUR Washington Trip by taking over the ice cream sales. On June 22 we proudly took our places as Seniors in the seats of honor in assembly. Our year was saddened by the loss of one of our classmates, Goodeth Ball. With the coming of September, we immediately launched a strenuous financial campaign the features of which were a concentrated subscription campaign, food sales, and daily ice cream sales. Despite our work in this line, we found time to gain relief from our financial worries in the form of a rollicking Hallowe’en party. Our funds were considerably increased by the returns from our Christmas Entertainment, the success of which must be accredited to the untiring efforts of Miss Ketchum and our musical director, Mr. Prall. We had just settled down after our mid-year examinations, when we were interrupted by the try-outs for the senior play. A suitable cast was selected and on the evening of April 26, “The Poor Nut” was presented before a capacity audience. The financial success of this entei prise, permitted us to realize our four years’ ambition, a trip to Washington. After three dajs of thrills and heart throbs we returned to make our last drive down the home stretch of our high school career. Despite the rush of work, Mr. Easterbrook and the staff found time to create this volume of “The Nugget” to commemorate our four years spent in Butler High. As Commencement Day approaches, we look back over our eventful high school career and regret that it has ended so soon. Yet, all we can do is to leave our best wishes of success to the under classmen and to our successors, the Juniors, the hope that their senior year may be as happy and as successful as ours has been.
