PIONEER, 1929 SENIOR HISTORY The class of ’29 is the last class that had the distinction of beginning its high school career in the old school. However, it only spent four months in that historic structure before coming into the new school, to begin a most successful career. It is a far cry from the howling mob that greeted Mr. Wagner in September in a certain large room on the top floor of the old school to the well-organized, smoothly-running, Washington-bound seniors of today. The first semester the class had as officers, Marcelle Jones, pres- ident, Nellie Jerrell, vice-president and Shirley Fox, secretary-treas- urer. After they moved to the new school in December, the class was divided into two groups. The first, under Mr. Hood’s direction, called themselves the Betsy Ross and had as officers, Shirley Fox, president, Earl Hayes, vice-president and Dorothea Benham, secretary. The second, under Mr. Wagner’s direction, called themselves the House of Lincoln and elect- ed Edwin Jackson president, and Mildred Wilkinson, secretary. When they came back the following September they made the most of their opportunities, being through with that trying freshman year, when it is so hard to make any headway. Under the direction of Miss Hainline, the Betsy Ross chose Doris Dean, president Edwin Jackson, vice-president and Elsie Henrykofsky, secretary-treasurer. The house of Lincoln, with Miss Semans as its sponsor, chose Elizabeth Szabo, president, Mildred Wilkinson, vice-president, Louise Nemethy, secretary and Junior Rothfus treasurer. In December, the classes combined again and chose as officers, Doris Dean, president, Edwin Jackson, vice-president, Elsie Henrykofsky, secretary and Charles Palmer treasurer. The second semester, the unique idea of a home room paper was suggested and through the combined efforts of a very efficient staff, the class produced a large number of copies of the “Rail Splitter”. They made the greatest success of the year at the Pirate Prance, making more than’had been made at any previous dance that year. They began their junior year by giving a very successful Hallowe’en dance, and carried this on by winning first prize for the best decorated booth at the carnival. TheJ-Hop proved to be the big feature of the year, for. as well as making a great financial success of it, it was pronounced the best dance of the year. The annual junior class Tag Day proved extreme- ly profitable, so altogether the third year was the greatest success financ- ially and otherwise that any class had had up to that time. The officers were: Margret Arndt, president. Earl Hayes, vice-president. Edwin Jackson, treasurer and Doris Dean secretary. Now the class is on the last lap of its journey and seems well satis- fied with its entire career. The officers are: Edwin Jackson, president, Fred Shaw, vice-president. Elsie Henrykofsky, secretary and Mildred Brooker treasurer. With the aid of numerous suppers, the carnival, the senior play and the sale of various articles and foods, they at last attained the longed-for trip to Washingon. Soon they will be leaving dear old Dearborn High and we will wager they’ll leave with many a backward glance and perhaps a tear or two, who knows?
