V' W......Q-XtXXWXMM..NNXNNNX x tttt NMA xN.,.t.. Senior History HLike the glory of the sunset, School day dreams we see. N the minds of all the class of twenty-eight long after we have completed our so- journ at Coughlin and have come face to face with the problems that confront everyone there will be the glorious hued dreams which may be likened to those of the fading sun and like the sun's rays they will never die but merely fade to return again in our memories, ever colorful, ever youthful, ever joyful. In our minds' eye will be pictured the happy remembrance of the day four years ago, when we entered High School as timid freshmen and how grateful we were that our school day began with the adjournment of class for the upper classmeng we had no sophomores to make life eternally miserable for us by sending us to the gymnasium on the fifth floor or something else similarly ridiculous. We started our sophomore year by bidding farewell to half of our number who were transferred to the new G. A. R. Memorial, High School, but they had not left our presence for any length of time before they threw down the gauntlet and the school rivalry war was declared. To tell of the new era we had entered in our promotion to the sophomore class would be a story in itself, suffice to say that we entered the various clubs, became members of the athletic teams and took part in all of the social events of the year d d h -Of -l k - h ' r. and so en e our appy go uc ysop omore yea In our Junior year we gained prominence through our interest in athletics and club life. Several of our members became officers of the various clubs, the member- ship of the band and orchestra increased when the Junior class took them in hand and the Sophomore and Senior classes merely had to stand by and look envious and make futile attempts to equal the pace we had set. We returned in the fall last year fully convinced that the Senior class of twenty- eight was the best class that ever entered high school and to show the world that we knew it, we set ourselves to the task of proving it. We took all the clubs in high school under our supervision, the Cliosophic and Sorosis Literary societies entered upon a most successful year, the various orchestras and the band reached a height of perfection never before attained, and the smaller organizations also received a larger membership through the splendid work of their fli . o cers In inter-school athletics we received some slight set-back that can be attributed in part to the longer session of school. Our men did not have the advantage of the long practices to which they had been accustomed in former years and as a result we did not have the usual number of victories attached to the athletic summaries that Coughlin has come to take for granted. In the Senior Play the dramatic ability of our class was the equal of any preced- ing class and that riot of humor, the Coughlin Minstrels, of which the principals were all Seniors, far surpasses any minstrel to which the student body and outside public had ever attended within the walls of our high school. T k' h' ' t nt our re ime has been a successful one and now a 1ng everyt ing 1n o accou g with our high school life almost finished and with the conferring of the Mantle of the Senior Class upon the class of twenty-nine we confer all the traditions of which we are proud to have been able to carry upon another class whom we feel sure will carry on all of the established precedents to which former classes have pledged their loyalty and to whom we have proven ourselves true.

The Senior Class has been exceptionally fortunate this year in their choice of a leader, as he has been promi- nent in every activity of the class, especially in club life and drama- tics, and his success in them has merited our choice. CAROL MOYER, Secretary Winsome, gay, loving and lovable are a few adjectives which we believe are suitable to describe our charming young secretary of the Senior Class. Her duties consist of the not easy work f d' th eedin s of the o recor ing e proc g class meetings and to keep in communi- cation with the chairmen of the various committees and to record their reports. Her capable management of the Girls' Athletic Association makes her particu- larly suited for this position and we are perfectly sure that with the start in life she has attained in Coughlin and with her ability to gain friends her fu- ture life is sure to be crowded with hap- piness and success.

In our selection of a treasurer this year we have been particularly for- tunate because we have selected a per- son who realizes his responsibility and has shown his ability by his successful fulfillment of the oflice of secretary of Clio.
