' x To the Students of Classen Q? HE year book, known as the Orbit, reviews the events of the school year of l927-1928, but it has a much larger significance in that it visualizes the processes by which we have reached our present state. The individual student has made a contribution which has been crystallized into the aggregate for the Classen spirit. The pioneer citizen has been proclaimed the great leader in our nation's development. and in our brief existence as a high school we can also declare your efforts to be sufficient for the accomplishment of our main objective, which is the establish- ment of a foundation on which the future structure shall stand. You are to be congratulated on the manner you have made this demonstration. , C. A. Barnett- Pagc Seventeen
