Class of ’27 The Sophomore class this year boasts of fifty-five members. In September they elected Francis Switzer, President but when he became a Junior in February, he was succeeded in office by Vice-President Ona Wittersheim. Edna Smith was elected as Secretary and Treasurer. They began the year right by holding a weiner roast in the flats and then they buckled down to work. They are not lacking in initiative or originality. At the carnival this year, they acted upon a suggestion of Miss Wilson's and had Miss Jarley’s Wax Works, a Puppet show and a pretty little Japanese tea room. The tea room was unique and attracted great attention, but nevertheless the Freshmen beat them to it,” and ran away with first prize. In January they pleased the student body by giving a Latin play in Chapel. Another Chapel period the Sophomore girls entertained by giving in costume a number of folk dances, much to the delight of the audience. A distinctive feature of the year was the caroling at Christmas time in which the Sophomores partici- pated. Tho’ it was not the intention of the singers to take a collection, when generous-hearted people insisted on giving some contribution, they accepted the money and turned it over to the Welfare Society. This class has shown great school loyalty and much is expected from them in the future. We sincerely trust that they will, during all their sojourn with Dearborn High School, show the same fine spirit of co-operation and initiative that has been shown thus far. 19
