J------------------------------------------------------------------- Stout, William Klund, Alice Madsen, Harry February Class History When the 1928 mid-year class entered East High for the first time, it was a brisk, sparkling day. This was considered a good omen. The halls were quiet with a sense of awful bigness. Mr. Ray greeted us kindly, as is his fashion and in the auditorium, gave us our first instructions as to behavior. We were quiet and subdued for a time, but our natural instincts got the better of us and we have had a great time ever since! What member of the class doesn’t remember playing ball in the alley and going on those delightful Maywalks? However, with the upper-class work piling up, such things are bound to be neglected. As is the history of all classes, ours pegged along year by year quietly, and as happy as the teachers permitted! Some of us dropped by the wayside and fate removed others from the group, but the majority remained to finish their schooling at East. At the close of the Junior year we awakened to the fact for the first time, that ours was an individual class,—a unit. A February graduation was quietly mentioned; the idea took root,—frail, it is true. Soon it began to be talked of enthusiastically and plans were made for organization. Wouldn’t it be great to be the first February graduates? Yes indeed, but quite an impossibility. We requested the privilege of organization which was given to us without much discussion. So our work began! It was necessary to convince Mr. Ray that we were capable of standing by our work and backing up the necessary undertakings. We also had to persuade various students that February was an ideal graduation time. After some difficulty and splendid co-operation on the part of Mr. Ray, we were finally able to plan definitely for the various events. 16
