CLASS HISTORY This Class of 1927 came up from Central in the fall of 1923, feeling quite elated about being students of the high school. However, this feeling was immediately displaced by another of deep humility, caused by the numerous jestings of the upper-classmen. The first great social event was the Freshman-Sophomore party, given by the sophomores for the freshmen. After this great social event our feeling of elation was restored until time for mid-year exams. However, we rallied, and passed on. The next year our high school career really began. We organized our class by electing Phil James president, Dot Foster secretary, and Helen Crumpacker treasurer. As had been done for us, we too, in turn, gave a party for the entering freshmen. Our Junior class officers were Phil James, president, Bob Blocksom, vice-president, Dot Foster, secretary, and Pat Lahey, treasurer. Our two great events of that year were the Junior Play—“A Brace of Partridges,” and the Junior Prom, both successfully given. As seniors we elected Phil James to lead us once more with the help of Ed Stibbe as vice-president, Betty Gay, secretary, and Marvin Komin-arek, treasurer. We are well represented in athletics by Farroh, McIntyre, Slaughter, Richards, Flotow, Engstrom, Leuth, Beebe, and Paxton. Not only have we ability in sports but also in oratory, in which we are represented by Kominarek, Thompson, and Perham. And last, but not least, are the much honored ones of the National Honor Society—Dot Messner, Dot Foster, Dot Herbert, Betty Gay, Gertrude Volbert, Phil James, and Bob Blocksom. —Genevieve Carver ’27
