THE BENEDICTUS Historq of the Class of '28 In the fall of '24 an army of twenty five determined youths stormed into high school. Organizing at once with Miss McCrea as sponsor, we set to work. We chose Blue and Old Gold as our class colors: B sharp, B natural, but never B flat as our motto: and a' Pansy as our class flower. However death claimed one of our members, Miss Pauline Symonds, much to the sorrow of the class. '25 found us as brilliant Sophomores, rough and ready. We again organized with Miss McCrea still sponsoring, much to our great delight. We had to lose, however, George Fehrenbacher, Aline Mason, and Rosina Geisslemeng but added to our midst Maxine Yeager. After eight months of sincere study, we were pleased with a long looked for vacation. Vacation over, we sallied forth again. This time as Jolly Juniors, twenty strong. This year Mr. Harmeyer was chosen as our sponsor: but to our regret, he accepted a position at Central, and so was lost to us. We were fortunate, however, for Mrs. Bernice Karnes Hickrod assumed his place. This was a very successful year, both in school work, and in activities. Thanks to the aid of Miss Gladys Webb, we were able to put on the class play entitled Cousins which drew a larger audience than any preceding play. This enabled us to throw a great reception for the Seniors. The fall of '27 finds us as dignified, and honored Seniors. When the enrollment was taken we found that two of our members were missing, Marjorie White and Lydia- Rahn. Determined to make the best of it, we reorganized. This time we changed our colors to Red and White, and our motto to Excelsior. Our class flower was an American Beauty Rose. This year we had the honor of having our Superintendent, Mr. E. Hemmer, as our sponsor. We have been well represented in all school activities, which we will always remem- ber. Now that graduation is drawing near, we are just a trifle sorry to say farewell to our old school. We appreciate what our faculty, and fellow-students have done for us, and to you we owe a vote of thanks. We are as a small but mighty army ready to go forth and battle life. having only best wishes, and fond remembrances for our dear old Fort Branch High. OPAL SINGLETON. Page Fourteen
