As freshmen the class as a whole was particularly interested in athletics. The most important event was the copping of the girls inter-class basketball cham- pionship during both their first and second years. The fellows, too, did their bit. Ten athletes received E's for participation in major sports. Half of their race over, the class of '29 became Juniors. Who would lead them in their work? After much scouting around Fred Salisbury was elected president, Charles Karsten, vice-president, and Margaret Gray, secretary. Their first problem was solved by choosing Scarlet and Black for class colors. In class sweaters something new was started by having four letters instead of the usual two. The unusual success of the Junior Class Play, Peg O' My Heart by J. Hart- ley Manners, plus a series of doughnut sales gave the treasury that Mschool girl com- plexion , preparing them for the final lap of their four year race. Without any campaigning necessary Glen Miller was unanimously elected presi- dent to lead the twenty ninersi' in their final spurt. Kenneth Ettner was chosen vice- president, and Ada Marie Rovelstad, secretary. 'fDulcy , a comedy of errors by George Kaufman and Marc Connelly, was decidedly well put-over and incidently swelled the treasury. Besides being proud of having Clarence Oldham, a senior, captain of the Big 7 Championship heavyweight football team, the girls also did their part along this line by winning the inter-class basketball championship. This they have done ever since they have been in high school, a feat which has never been done by any pre- vious class. Also the Sales Committee has the rep of having made the most money ever made by a committee of this kind in a single season. Fred Salisbury was presi- dent of the Student Council, while Eva Johnson and Joe Slavik represented the class on the Council. I-, Now the race is over, and we each go out to win our own race, individually, ocqasionally glancing back to see new people going by places we should like to pass again.
