SENIOR CLASS HISTORY Five hundred youths were present on that bright September morn in 26, and all were jubilant and enthusiastic; but even a casual observer could have noticed two different groups of students. The first group—confident, noisy, and seemingly at home in their surroundings—these were former students resuming their studies. The second group, curious, timid, and apparently frightened—formed the Freshman body who after four years of school life at Elwood High, now proudly lay claim to the title of Seniors— the Class of '30. Sophomores—ah! the time when we felt we knew all there was to know. Our great business ability was recognized by the organization of our class with the following faithful heads as officers: President, Miriam Hawkins; Vice-President, Horace Mays; Secretary, Robert Gritton; Treasurer, Lucile Rankin. The colors chosen were Silver and Crimson, and the motto, Rowing not drifting.” The officers for the mid-year class were President, Helen Powell; Vice-President, Mable Paddock; Secretary, Richard Creagmile; Treasurer, Claude Kochman. Then came the Junior year. Many of the students were active in various activities and we were proud of them. The class officers for the year were: President, Miriam Hawkins; Vice-President, John Byus; Secretary, Regis Higgins; Treasurer, Lucile Rankin. Officers for the mid-year class were: President, Mable Paddock; Vice-President, Robert Jones; Treasurer, Richard Creagmile; Secretary, Claude Kochman. When classes were resumed early in the fall of 1929, the students returned with added zeal, ready to add their names to the list of those who had gone before them—the graduates. The class plunged heart and soul into the work (we hope they did) and with abundant ability to do things under able supervision, accomplished unprecedented successes. The officers for this last year showed excellent ability in performing their many duties. The mid-year class officers were: President, Robert Jones; Vice-President, William Lewis; Treasurer, Minerva Jane Evans; Secretary, Claude Kochman. The spring class selected: Regis Higgins as President, Miriam Hawkins as Vice-President, Horace Mays as Treasurer, and Beulah Perkins as Secretary. Thus closes our history in Elwood Hi-school and the beginning of our history as alumni.
