THE CARDINAL Class Officers President-Aliyle Young Secretary-Curtis Miller Vice President-Arnold Hayen Treasurer-Genevieve Fadden Class History Send across the blue ribbons! We, the class of '27, enjoy the distinction of having been Erie Community High's preponderantly largest class of Freshmen, having numbered thirty-nine. Although four have left our ranks, three new names have reinforced the roll-call. A truly heterogeneous mass, too, we were on the memorable day of our entry, tall, slender ones, small, slim ones, and short, chubby ones, along with red heads galore, tow heads, and dark heads. Among us, also, were meek, little mortals 5 as well as some quite saucy ones, who, despite their' tender years and precarious positions, defied the upper class-men to harm them. For example, Austin McMahon and Roy Eddy clung pertinaciously to their Mama's apron strings until they simply had to break loose to enter the portals of our present haven-of refuge or despair Cwhich shall I say?J whereas Marjorie Schryver, on the very first day when fear was written with capital letters on the hearts of most of us, chewed gum juBt as loudly, and whisked about almost as boldly as she does today. During that first troublous season of insubordination, we secretly comforted ourselves with the thought that green means growing. Some day we'd show the world who's who in America, as well as in Erie High. Our Sophomore year has been a triumph. We safely transported the Freshmen through the perils of Initiation, disturbed the peace of the village one frosty winter's night by an uproarious Bob-sled party and disposed of several of the town's un- licensed dogs at a Weiner Roast on a rare, balmy evening in April, contributed a generous quota of boys and girls to Basketball, and incidentally managed to tuck away in dusty pigeon-holes a few stray facts from our course of study. And two crowning years yet to come! - Helen Adams. 31
