And we, the class of ’28, hope that when we have finished our four years of high school, we will not forget that we are “ROWING, NOT DRIFTING.” —ESTHER CUMMINGS. 23rd Psalm Revised A Senior is my title; I shall not want a better. It maketh me to look down upon under-classmen. It restoreth my confidence: It leadeth me to the heights of satisfaction for its name’s sake. Yea, though I flunk in examinations, I will fear no evil; for thou art with me; Thy name and thy distinction, they comfort me. Thou preparest an excuse for me in the presence of my teachers: Thou hast covered me wTith praise; My knowledge runneth over. Surely distinction and rank shall follow me all the days of my life: And I shall dwell in the house of the learned forever. —DONALD CREVELING. Seniors S is for Six—in number, that’s all; E is for Effort—we never should stall; N is for Nicest—the best of our kind; I is for Ideas—we’ve plenty in mind; 0 is for Obedience—we always obey; R is for Royal—in looks and in way; S is for Success—on some future day. iiiiiiiiMiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiMiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiMiiiiiiiiiiiiitiiiiiiiiiiMiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiMMiiiiiiiiiifiiiiiiiiiMiiiiiiiiiMiiinitiitiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiimiiiiiiiiiiiimiiiiiMimiiiiimiiiiMiimimimiiiimiii.

Thus, we, the class of 1928, began our four years of high school life. Soon came the initiation and it was not long before the over- bearing sophomores had, politely or otherwise, completely squelched us, until of the twenty-three immensely important freshmen we were twenty- two humble and obliging children. One, Angus Slater, had been forced to drop school after attending but a short while. We returned to school the following September, but not with our twen- ty-two jolly classmates, for only thirteen of our former ones remained. Helen Kologi. Marian Hazen, Madge Marsh, Stephen Kologi, Stuart Moore, Lester Strack and Margaret Seaton all left to attend other schools, while Virginia Hale and Helen Dragoo discontinued school permanently. The thirteen old scholars were joined that year by Almeda Balch, Eleanor Fox- all, Theron Fowell and Marvin Turner. Before half our year was over, however, we lost another classmate, Esther Haynes, who moved with her family to Huntley, Montana. This second year of high school life was one of the most enjoyable years of our life, for it brought with it our new principal, Mr. Bergan. We enjoyed seeing that the incoming freshmen were shown their proper place in high school in much the same manner that we had been shown the previous year. It seems as if we were being pursued by the flying years, for in what seemed a very short time we occupied the juniors’ corner in the assembly and were in all respects upper-classmen. This year we were deserted by Almeda Balch, who returned to her former home to continue school, and Merrill Squires, Richard Anderson, Marvin Turner and Glen Warehime. We were joined by Margaret Seaton and by a new student, Donald Crevel- ing, from the Castner Falls school. This proved to be our most important year in high school, for we gave a very enjoyable prom and a banquet in honor of the graduating class. These were a great deal of work as well as pleasure. Seniors! How big and pleasant sounds the word, almost unreal. Those of us who are left to enjoy this stately kingdom realize the worth of the struggles and disappointments which we experienced through our first three years. There are only six of us left now of our former class, as Oak- ley Searle, Theron Fowell, David Dea and Harry Smithers remained juniors and Eleanor Foxall, after continuing school for a week or two, decided to drop it. All too soon our four years of high school are nearly over, and one of the greatest steps of life finished. Close at hand we see the day when we shall commence the real problems of life. We shall always look back on our high school days as ones of happiness. r n mpt iMiiiMMitiiiiiiiMMiMiiiimiMMiiimimiiHiiiiiimii'iiMimimiiiiiiiiiniinimiiHi'iimiiiMf'iiiiiiiirimmiiimimiiiMiiimiiiiiiiHiitiimiiiiiiimiimmiiiiiiiiim v.
