, ' mmmmmwmwmmmi ¥ uirajiapum-igar mrnmrnm mrnmrnmn Class History We, the class of ' 27, realizing that experience is the best of teachers, and thinking that a record of our successes and failures niis ' ht be enlightening to those who are to follow and enteresting to those who have preceeded, now sub- mit this history. In doing this we feel no scruples in presenting our failures and have no vanity in relating our successes. We are not sorry for our false steps for they have led us to see the trae ones. On the t)th(M- haml we have pride in our progress. As we, fifty-one freshmen, meekly entered Butler Higli Scliool on September 18, 1923, a special room was assigned to us; we knew not why, but found out later — we were special students. In our ti.rst class meeting Ern- est Hiatt was chosen president, and to help him were Helen Bryan, vict ' -presi- dent ; Colista Diehl, secretary; Florence Maggert, treasurer; Lyston Sea.ii ' oss, sergeant at arms; and Miss ] IcB,rien, class director. Our insignia and motto chosen at that time have remained the same : the class flower l)eing the Ameri- can Beautv Rose, the colors Old Eose and Silver, and tlic motto, WE ' IjL FIND A WAY OR MAKE ONE. On Hallowe ' en we had our first class party. Thei-e was plenty of food, much fun, and happiness, things which set tin ' prccc(lcnt fur all our socials i that followed, and there were many. We learned many tilings fjnit first yea.r among which wen ' to realize our : responsibility yet feel our inferiority and to post our Speannint outside tlie school house door, for a new school building had been erected and it would never have done to violate the sanctity thereof. Only thirty-six were left to take up the torch of learning for the next year, but these of us did so gladly. Our exi loring was over, our greenness had woni off, and our self-assertion was no longer suppi-essed. Our officers were: Walter Fisher, president; Helen liryan, vice-president: Orace Garl, sec- retary-treasurer; and Miss Dickinson, sponsor. Our main olt.ject this year was to save money and get ideas for the pulilishing of the school paper the next year. However, aljout all we accomplished was to struggle with Oa sar and have hrainstoi ' ms over algehi-a. We conquered Casar and survived our fever, but spent too much monej ' on ponies and peneils to have much left for the Fortnite. Our little experience of ser ' inig, for the .Tunioi-s at their banquet was going to help us much the next year. We then padu ' d our hooks home to think matters over for the three months to follow. Again, we, once meek, once lively, stepped into the Higli School Building, but this time with a mori ' confident yet less childish swagger. We were Juniors — happy, capable, woi-fhy. Indeed othei ' s accused us of lieing favored Ijy the teachers; perhaps we were, thanlvs to the teachers. Our former pi ' csident, Walter Fisher, had proved faithful and competent so we .re-elected him. Ray- mond Snyder was vice-president, and Frances Miller, secretary-treasurer. JMiss Dickinson was our sponsor under whose able supervision we successfully, may we say, edited the Fortnite, and entertained the Seniors with a delightful banquet. Frances Miller and Floi-ence I Iaggert were joint edifoi-s of this pa- per and were aided by thirteen willing and aide staff managers. This year we learned what business life really held for us, and are grateful to our school for oft ' eiing so many oppoi-funities. Basketball and liaseball med- als were given to Harold Slentz and Herbert Tyson, I ' cspectively, as a token of reward for the good work and sport.smanship sliown throughout the year. mmmsmmmm fmxmmBmmmmmmmmmmfm mmfmmmf —23—
