Page 28 The Fergus A nnual Jpistotp of tbc Class of 1927 OUR years ago in the fall of 1923 the class of 27 entered Fergus. It was a verdant group of Freshmen who met in the gym for their first class meeting. Mr. Freed and M rs. Rose, the class sponsors, took charge until officers could be elected. These were Rex Eastman. Pres- ident ; Thel ma Willi ams, Vice-President; and Grace Cresap, Secre- tary. The Sophomores gave a successful party for the Freshmen and we began to feel more at home. We impressed our importance on the school by winning a flag offered as a prize to the class which got the greatest number of parents out to hear a lecture on prohibition. The class of 27 began their Sophomore year in earnest with Miss Hall and Mr. Logan as sponsors. Rex Eastman, Berkin Hanley and Grace Phillips held the offices of President, Vice-President, and Secretary, respectively. Officers for the second semester were Romund Moltzau, President; Fred Pierre, Vice-President: Rosamond McKeown, Secretary; and Thelma Williams, Treasurer. Richard Man- ning was elected class reporter. The Sophs gave a well attended and lively party and took a spirited part in the carnival. The Sophomore Assembly on St. Patrick's Day was a great success. Gerhardt Lehmann played guard on the football team and did very creditable work. Richard Manning was on the school debate team and won the State Extem- poraneous speaking contest at Bozeman. As Juniors we distinguished ourselves in many fields, including debate and athletics. Fred Pierre won third place in Extemporaneous speaking and Romund Moltzau won the same honor in the Extemporaneous writing contest. The Junior play, “Dulcy,” was a decided success. The Junior-Senior prom and banquet were considered the best in the history of the school. Class officers were as follows: Robert Hendon, Rosamond McKeown, Irene d'Autremont and Fergus Rauch for the first semester, and Richard Manning, Owen Dunn, Marion Caldwell and Gaylord Cudney for the second semester. The class sponsors were Miss Marsh and Mr. Carter and much of the success of the class was due to their unselfish efforts. This year the class has assumed the great responsibilities that fall to the Seniors. Gerhardt Lehmann captained the football team through one of the most successful seasons m many years. Fred Pierre represented the school in the extemporaneous writing contest at Bozeman. Barrie's “The Youngest” was chosen as the Senior play and was very credit- ably staged. The Senior assembly was the peppiest assembly of the year. The Seniors organized an orchestra of their own which played at many affairs. Four more successful years could hardly be accredited to any class. Nineteen IT u n il r e d 'Twenty-seven
