,. , . Fenqer Courier .T.--... CLASS HISTORY We had reached the goal of our grammar school day-dreams, lienger. Hav- ing been placed in various rooms, 108, 105, 103, 107, and in the Portables, we began our high school career. Oh, those Portables! Cold hot-boxes they were, where we broiled in summer and froze in winter. We stood in awe of the Seniors, in respect of the juniors and Sophomores, but on a level plane with the 1A's. For us, the Freshman year was a happy and an educational one. However, in many respects it also was a prosaic year for us. But when we drifted along the current of education into the Sophomore year, a year filled with a little of everything, we now became a part of the upper high school life. In that year, we in room 217 won the indoor baseball school championship, which put some of us on a pinnacle. Ah, Seniors condescended to take a little note of the Sophomores and their achievements now. -Achievements galore! VVe were to be the first Juniors to enter and take seats in the new school. For some of us it would be the iirst opportunity to gaze upon this colossal structure. Many were the discussions about the great school. The all-knowing ones, who had seen the school before, said, You ain't seen nothing yet. Leaving the old school, we grandly paraded to the new. What could have been better than the sight that greeted us! VVe entered the beautified edilice, gazing open-mouthed upon its beauty. There were many Oh's and Ah's. Now we knew that the all-knowing ones meant. The Juniors were placed in rooms 232, 230, 228, and 233. In a few weeks we grew accustomed to the school and its hugeness. The boys became great boosters. All of them belonged to some club, or participated in some sport to laud Fenger. We are dignihed Seniors now, entering upon our last lap, the destination of our Freshman year. Graduation looms ahead, just a little more climb. Our beloved school and its teachers have made us hnished products, guaranteed to withstand the knocks and the hardships of the world. Not a senior is there who is not proud to be a member of this great aggregation of celebrities, graduating in the summer month of June, 1928. ' OUR PLEDGE Ne'er to falter in our duty VVill always be our aim. We'll play the game fairly, We'll win ourselves a name. Tho' the rocks be rough and rugged, We'll travel bravely ony We'll scale the heights to victory And cry, Climb on, climb on!
