HISTORY OF THE CLASS OF ’28 Fifty-six green Freshmen entered Edmonds High School in September of 1924, with Mr. Leslie W. Johnson as leader. Ruth Hovde was elected the first class president. The class was well represented in school activities; three of the girls were on the basketball team. The Freshmen picnic was held at the Edmonds park and “a wonderful time was had by all.” In the Sophomore year Mrs. Murphy began her reign over forty strug- gling students. Kyle Kramer and Betty Ulm were elected for semester presi- dents. The class took active part in the activities of the school year, being represented in the all-school play, on the Wireless Staff, and in all athletics. The achievements of the term were brought to a happy and successful termi- nation, with a picnic held at Hall’s Lake in May. During their Freshmen and Sophomore years the class had gradually diminished in size, until at the beginning of their Junior year, only thirty students remained. Mrs. Murphy was again the class advisor. The class president was Bob Sanderson, who held this office during the entire term. “Green Stockings” was the amusing three-act comedy presented by the class of ’28. The class piled into trucks and went on a picnic to Silver Lake where they enjoyed dancing, swimming, rowing and the best of eats. Thirty dignified Seniors returned in the fall of ’27 and were once more welcomed by Mrs. Murphy. Their president was Mildred Meyers who held this office during the entire year. Although the Senior Class is one of the smallest in the high school, the scope of its activities has not been limited to any small degree. The Seniors were represented in the basketball team by Orrin Heath, Bob Sanderson, and Bill Kellogg, who have been on the team two successive years. The Senior boys and girls won the basketball inter- class games for 1928. The Seniors led the social events by the originality of their “Pirate Party.” The gym was decorated with pirate flags, daggers and guns. The realistic features of the party were a play, and feats of daring by the pirates of ’28, who, by a miracle had left their dignity for an evening’s fun. Re- freshments were served from a pirate ship. “The Charm School,” a three-act comedy was presented by the Senior Class in April. The play represented a girls’ school, where a handsome young man as Professor, was assisted by four young men to instruct the girls how to be charming. It was none other than the Senior girls who started the idea of wearing middies three days each week: Monday, Wednesday and Friday. This was later taken up by the Girls’ Club. As a closing touch of four years the Seniors are sponsoring an all- school annual. For three years the burden of leading the Senior class has been carried on successfully by one small person, beloved to all seniors, Mrs. Marjory II. Murphy. Twelve ELDA MANSZ.
