.1 SENIOR CLASS HISTORY In the year of 1926, sixty-three trembling young urchins, called Freshmen, entered the portals of the palace of higher learning. After they had recovered from their first fright they decided that in an organization lay strength, so they elected Miss Florence Thomas as their sponsorg Kathryn Lowry as president: VVayne Johnson, vice-president: and janet Halldorson as secretary-treasurer, to lead their large band. The Sophomores gave a Hallowe'en masquerade party to welcome the strangers within their gates. Then at Christmas time they longed for a Christ- man tree so in order to satisfy their wants, a Christmas party was held for them. VVhen spring came the Freshmen paid back their debt to the Sopho- mores by giving a picnic for them. During that first year the upper-classmen had exerted some pressure but fifty-seven survived and started gallantly forth as Sophomores, re-electing Miss Thomas as their sponsor and Kathryn Lowry as president. Catherine Hutchison was chosen as vice-president and Vtlilma Barker as secretary- treasurer. Realizing how much they had appreciated the hospitality given them by the Sophomores the year before, they treated the Freshmen to a circus. The Freshmen made plans to pay back their debt to the Sophomores with a picnic, but due to the rainy weather the party was held in the gymnasium. In high spirits these Freshmen of 1926, started out the Junior year. Many activities lay before them and Miss Thomas was chosen to guide them through all these activities. Kathryn Lowry was again chosen president, with Cath- erine Hutchison as vice-president, and Doris Anderson as secretary-treasurer. After many trials and tribulations they gave their class play, Tommy, which was a very marked success. For the annual 'lunior-Senior banquet they took the Seniors on a voyage on the S. S. Milestone. Harry Boyd brought further distinction to the class by winning a number of honors in basketball. Although it seemed on looking back only a short time ago since they were Freshmen, on September 9, 1929, they became high and mighty Seniors. Miss Thomas was again chosen to guide them through their difficulties. Kathryn Lowry was chosen president, with Catherine Hutchison as vice-president and Wilma Barker as secretary-treasurer. The most important move of the class as Seniors was to publish the Annual. The class play, That Ferguson Family, was an outstanding success. After this came the Junior-Senior banquet, Class Day, Baccalaureate. Commence- ment, all in close succession, and then they embarked upon the sea of life. Now after four years this graduating class of '30 has come to the end of a fruitful search. Each one will set out in different directions, but the ideals of our school will follow us and help us to so guide our lives that we shall make history worthy of our dear old Chadron High School.
