The Freshman Reception was our first big event, and is re- membered by everyone. We show ed up pretty well in athletics. Elloise Chase, as p1'esident, guided us through our first year. Victor Weisel was our president during our Sophomore year. We be- gan to feel just a little more grown up, as again we showed our skill in athletics and scholarship. Our girls won the championships in soccer, basketball and volley ball. A few boys were on the school teams. Our Junior year found us on the home st1'etch and nearing our goal. We were unfortunate in losing a few of our students on the way. Some d1'opped out and several transferred to other schools. Last year we elected Buford Shreeve to fill the president's chair. Now, for the first time in the history of the school, we have an organ- ized fifth year class with an adviser, Mr. John Bowersox. There we1'e eighteen students registered in this class, which consists of post graduates and fifth year students. We were glad to welcome Mary Gusmeroli, '30, William East, '30, and Elmer Cirby, '28, in the spring semester. - Virginia Early. Page Twenty-one

The school seenfed very well pleased with our presence and gave us a reception soon after our arrival. When the first layer of green was rubbed otf we showed how well we fitted into the routine of the school by winning the Girls' Honor Cup. We were glad to be rated as second year students the next term. It was a grand feeling to think that now there were others in the school greener than we. Several of our members won places on the various ath- letic teams and eight were on the Honor Roll. Last year we put pep into everything that we attempted to do, and we did a good many things. The most remarkable thing, however, was our success in barely nosing out the seniors in the Megaphone sale. For the first time in five years a Junior class won the holiday. This, our last year, has been by far the most active for us. More of our members made athletic teams, and we furnished stars for the school plays as well as our own play.
