Fage Twenty-Four THE BLUE AND GOLD the Christmas meting of the Literary Societv. In athletics we have also been ac- tive. It is hardly necessary to name the stars in the athletic field. Our school days are over, however, and we have only one thing to look forward to--our Commencement and Class Day. which we are going to try to make the most successful that has ever been held. Gladys MacMullen '27 JUNIOR CLASS ACTIVITIES 1926 - 1627 The Junior Class had its first class meeting on October 5, 1926. The first business that was brought before the class was the election of officers for the year 1926-1927. The following officers were chosen: President .................... John Blackburn Vice Pres.......... Bradley Elzey Treasurer ....... Ellwood Bickhart Corres. Sec’y................. Emma Ruth Rec. Sec’y. ....... Elizabeth Yost It was decided to hold class meet- ings the first Tuesday in every month. The class ring then came up for dis- cussion. A committee, appointed bv the president, selected a number of rings together with information as to cost and submitted them to the class for approval and a very attractive class ring was chosen. The next most important event was the presentation of “Honor Bright” which was given December 17 and 18. It was a great success, both dramatic- ally and financially. To Miss Rad- cliffe and Mr. Oerman. who directed its production, we extend our thanks. The class was saddened over the death of oue of its members. Frank Danehower who died September 26 1926. Our most interesting social event of the year 1927 was the Junior Prom given at the Plymouth Country Club on May 20. Intermingled with our pleasure was a feeling of sadness be- cause of the thought that we were bidding farewell to the Senior Class with whom we had spent three happv vears. The last event of the year was our Lawn Fete, given on the Red Men's Lawn on May 28. Altogether, we feel that we have had a most successful year and we look forward to even greater achievements next year. Our success is due in a large meas- ure to our Faculty Advisers, Miss Buckle and Miss Steele. Elizabeth Yost '28 SOPHOMORE CLASS NOTES Officers for the year of 1926 - 1927 President .........
