THE FERGUS ■J'i l tetorp of tlje Class of 1927 HE Class of 27 entered the ranks of Fergus in the fall of 1923, guided by their able sponsors, Mrs. Rose and Mr. Freed. The officers elected were: president, Rex Eastman; vice-president, Thelma Willi ams, and secretary, Grace Cresap. This group of newly arrived Freshmen were entertained at a reception given by the Sophomores. Last year the Class of 27 started as fully accredited Sophomores, with Miss Hall and Mr. Hugh Logan acting as sponsors. The leaders for the first semester were : Rex Eastman, Berkin Hanley and Grace Phillips. Those for the second semester were: Romund Moltzau, president; Fred Pierre, vice-president, and Rosamond McKeown, secretary. Thelma Williams was elected to guard the speedily filling money bags, and Richard M annmg held the honorable position of class reporter. With Miss Marsh and Mr. Carter directing, the Class of ’27 has efficiently accomplished the work of Juniors. During the first semester Robert Hendon took the wheel as president while Rosamond McKeown, Irene d’Autremont and Fergus Rauch performed the duties of vice-president, secretary and treasurer, respectively. The second semester Richard Manning filled the office of president; Owen Dunn, vice-president; Gaylord Cudney, secretary, and Marion Caldwell, that of treasurer. The Junior class has featured prominen tly in many different activities throughout the year. The Junior play was a decided success, and Bue na Dougherty as “Dul cy con- tributed no small part to its success. Frederick Pierre entered the extemporane- ous speaking contest, winning third place. The Perils of Shaving won Romund Moltzau third place in the extemporaneous writing contest. The Junior prom and banquet were among the outstanding social events of the school year. These very elaborate and beautiful affairs were given May 8 under the direction of Robert Hendon. Judge Huntoon was the principal speaker at the banquet, giving an enjoyable and instructive talk befitting the occasion. Later the guests adjourned to the gymnasium where the Armory Six furnished the best of music to the enjoyment of all. The study hall had been for the occasion turned into a banquet hall. Four tables were used, forming' a cross. At the end of each table was seated one of the evening s speakers. In the middle where the four tables came together was a small table on which were two dolls. One was dressed in a cap and gown as a Senior, the other was dressed as a Junior girl. The color scheme was in green and pink, the Senior colors. The nut cups and flowers were all artistic combina- tions of these colors. At each girl s place was a corsage of pink sweet peas and every boy had a boutonniere of the same flower. At each plate was a four-page menu and toast list with an artistic cover. These were folded and set by each plate as a place card together with the eight-page dance programs. The prom was held in a rejuvenated gym. The Junior class colors, yellow and blue, were used. In the center of the room was the orchestra cage topped by a Senior emblem. From the top of the cage radiated the crepe streamers forming a false ceiling. On one of the walls was the Junior emblem. The walls were cov- ered, making a complete new room. Th is beau tifully decorated room formed a fitting scene for Fergus’s most successful social affair. The musicians in their evening clothes added much to the whole. The throng which danced until mid- ni ght was one of the largest at any school affair. And lastly it must be mentioned that the Class of ’27 is prepared to take up the responsibilities of mi ghty Se niors and carry on successfully to the end the work begun. N teen Hundred Twenty
