Mistnry of tljp QUobh of 1928 In September, 1924, a group of 112 young people began their careers as Freshmen in the Hor¬ ace Mann High School. Class officers were elected shortly after. They were as fol¬ lows: President, Catherine Perkins Vice President, Edgar Knowlton Secretary, Eileen Molloy Treasurer, Clara Cruise After we had settled down to studying, the Seniors took a hand in our upbringing. Several of our more excitable members were quieted down by a cool shower bath on the Common. As the boys took their punishment quietly, our class was not bothered a great deal for the rest of the year. The most important social event to us was the Acquaintance Party, which the Senior Class held for us. Many of the Freshmen had the honor of danc¬ ing with the members of the upper classes. None of the members of our class succeeded in making the first team in athletics that year. We might have been rather obscure, but we were work¬ ing hard and silently toward the high grade of sportsmanship which we showed in the next three years. The following September, we had something to look forward to. We be¬ gan our Sophomore year in the new Davis Thayer High School. During our first assembly in the new auditorium, Mr. Patty requested that those people who sat next to the wall be careful about leaning the ir heads against it, as it left spots there. That is one reason why our building is stiii; looking so neat and tidy. The death, in June, of Miss Frances Eddy King, who for many years was a member of the faculty of F. H. S., was a heavy blow to those who knew her. The same class officers were elected as in our Freshman year. Several of the members of our class won places for themselves in the ath¬ letic field that year.
