Therefore, we, the Senior Class of 1928 with the help of our class advisor, Mr. Pearson, have endeavored to take up the work where it was discontinued. And we hope that future Senior Classes will find it possible to make it a permanent activity of the school. .. To our class advisor, Mr. Charles Pearson. Superintendent of the Galesburg Public School, who through four long years has helped the class of 1928 plough through the until led field of edu¬ cation and who for three years has been our ad¬ visor, with whose help this first little volume has been published, we dedicate The G. H. S. Souve¬ nir, as an appreciation of his unfailing loyalty and never ending service. HHMIHHlMIIIMMHINUIOMMlIMMMiNMHMHMHIMMMMIttMMIINIMUIIIIMIUNHdMj IKHMMMII WMWM X S ' GALESBURG HIGH SCHOOL Galesburg is very proud of its new high school building.

It furnishes a splendid basket ball and volley ball court. Boys and girls locker rooms are located in connection with the gymnasium. On the second Moor is an assembly hall with a seating capacity at present of one hundred fifty. The library is also in this room. I here are three class rooms, a teachers’ rest room and the superin¬ tendent s office in this new part. 1 he old building contains two more class rooms and four grade rooms.

H. C. C. The constitution of the Club was drawn up: Students having two credits in Commercial work were allowed to become mem¬ bers. All of the officers were to act as the Executive Committee and the Vice-Presi¬ dent to act as Chairman of the Entertainment Committee. The meetings were to he held the first Thursday of each month and the dues were to be fifty cents a year. The purpose and aim of the club was to promote interest in the business world; to encourage a social spirit among commercial students by offering opportunities for social contact; to become conversant with modern, progressive business methods and systems, endeavoring by such means to raise and maintain a higher standard of effi ciency; to discover and serve the needs of the community. Some of the activities in which the club has participated were the raising of a fund for the purchase of a picture for the Commercial room, “Kid” Christmas party, entertaining of the Classical Club by a play “Mrs. Stubbing Book Agent,” and a theatre party, also talks by prominent business leaders. lUWMMMIMMMIlWWOHmOMWMHMHUtHIUMHMWMHOIlNWWH CLASSICAL CLl B a Vernette Rogers . .. .

The Club consisted of thirty members. The Club was organized with the following aims: To gain a better understanding of Roman life and customs by study of conditions as they existed in the Roman empire; to learn to what extent Latin influences our language, literature, and thought; to develop individual initiative of its members and inspire them with greater regard for the past. Besides making a constitution providing for its continuance, the Club purchased pictures for the Latin room, presented a Latin play, sent a Christmas basket, and entertained the Scott’s Classical Club at a typical Roman banquet.

CLASS PARTIES SENIORS A deep mysterious party was held in the hayloft of CovelTs barn near the time when witches are seen at night and pumpkins are seen to frighten night goers. Every¬ one came dressed in their favorite, ill-fitting clothes rnd went away with hearts merry . JUNIORS The girls of the Junior Class were entertained by the boys of their class in the High School Gym at a Valentine party. The boys proved to be mighty good hosts. Before this time the class had been ent rtained at a theatre party later going to Miss Hunter’s for refreshments.

By December 16, their clothes were ragged enough so they had a Hobo Party in the Gym. SEVENTH GRADE The first of the fall season called the seventh graders to the river too. Roasting and eating weenies was reported the main occupation. On the evening of January 27. a stormy night, they again assembled in the Gym for a good time together, in the garb of tramps. ■ STATE ORATORICAL AND DECLAMATORY CONTEST Our High School takes part in the State Oratorical aiul Declamatory Contest which requires the ninth and tenth grades to select some well-known piece of oratory and memorize it.

Six weeks more of cold there’ll be. So on February the first, 1 started. Long ’fore the sun the clouds had parted. An’ hid by de Groundhog’s hole. All ready wit a great long pole. I sat, and sat, and sat some more But dat Grounhog never left his door. When the sun sank beyond the snow Leavin’ a bright and rosy glow. 1 thinks, “It will be safe to leave, Dat Groundhog slept all day, 1 believe.” Suddenly 1 stopped and my breath came no more For de tracks of de Groundhog led out his backdoor!
