Class of ’28 President Vice-President Secretary..... Treasurer..... Robert Sutton ..Charles Park Robert Largent Donald Reish Once upon a time about seven hundred sophomores were set free from junior high school and galloped their way to home rooms in the new high school—Believe it or not—that was Sep- temper, 1926 and the youngsters were our present accomplished Seniors—oh yes, times do change in three years! These youngsters were duly welcomed and found themselves in the toils of an intricate system which had hall guards, yellow slips, matinee dances and elections. The first two weren’t so satisfactory, but the last were much more encouraging. Accordingly, the sophomores put on some show of dignity and elected as their officers Robert Sutton. Roland Higgins, Henry Cross, and Max Dcmorest. There were the two sophomore parties—artistic triumphs, both of them. In these days they all bought every weeks' Arrowhead, attended all the assemblies, never skipped—that is almost never. They paid ten cents for a tag Tennis Tag-Day and each looked hopefully at the campus where the new courts were to appear. Their Junior days dawned bright and clear. The political pot began to boil and Max Demorest became president, Roland Higgins was again chosen vice president and two of the fair sex joined the executive staff. Ruth Crapscr as secretary and Elizabeth Dewey as treasurer. The Juniors began to take part in schcx)l activities. 1 hey joined the Arrow Head staff, the glee clubs, student council.

Seniors' dignified Seniors! Was it possible that you were once young and verdant? Bob Sutton bobs up again as Senior class president—but was he really ever out of sight? And his co-officers are Charles Parks, vice president, Donald Rcish, secretary, and Bob Largent, treasurer. They have big places on the Student council and offer the longest wordiest, and most probable suggestions of all the three classes in the council. They galloped through the class sing They chose the ■’Youngest for their Senior play They lived through the last two months before they graduated and finally received their diplomas, all 529 of them Page 24

Messrs Withev and Groves, singers yet— Are touring on concert the hills of Thibet. Misses Murphy and Eddy, old spinsters remain And for a stiff fee will run any campaign.
