ff 1 f HISTORY OF THE CLASS OF 1928 Motto: Still Higher Flower: Sweet Pea In the year of 1924, 241 freshmen entered the doors of Elgin High School and turned to the first page of their four year book. From that time on they all started to look forward to the year when they would have the title of Dignified Seniors bestowed upon them. Their freshman and sophomore years were not filled with a great many activities, but they at once entered into all athletics and were always ready to back any project presented to them. Finally the book was closed upon their first two years, and they were classified as Juniors. Now they must have some able leaders, and they chose Royal Fischer, President, Harold Flora, Vice-President, and Dorothy Glenn Beverly, Secretary. What colors shall we choose to represent our class? was the next problem of the class of '28, and they solved it with ease and originality by choosing cherry and gray. To show what their co-operation really meant they very successfully sponsored the concert given by the orchestra and glee club. The annual junior class play, Captain Applejackf' was then given, a.nd much talent was revealed to the school. Even though these many activities took a great deal of time, the class was proud to be so promi- nent in athletics and to have juniors as captains of both. of the football teams. Another page of our book is turned, and we find these cultured freshmen bear- ing the name Digniiied Seniors . No longer are they regarded as underclassmen, but instead they are the leaders of Elgin High School. Again they must have class officers, and this time they chose as their leader Emerson Crocker, Eugene Jones as Vice-President, and Frances Dorrington as Secretary. The Passing of the Third Floor Backv was their last big production, and it was labeled with none other than the title, Success . In this last year the boys as well as girls entered into all school activities. The class was represented on the Student Council by Charles Landwere, Wendell Muntz, and Florence Fredericks. The book is now completed and carefully closed, and the class members of 1928 leave Elgin High School to start books of their own, the title for each one to be Success FRANCES DORRINGTON, Secretary.
