Of course we were all green and were amazed at the many wonders of the Senior High School. Its long halls and many different rooms puzzled us so, that we were completely lost the first couple of days. This was a banner year in our school life. To begin with, We had a class meeting and elected the following guiding reins for the year: DeWitt Kersh, Presidentg William Wagner, Vice Presidentg Naomi Meeker, Secretaryg and George Britt, Treasurer. Green and White were chosen as our colors. We all agreed to have a get acquainted party at Ness's Grove and all members of the class enjoyed it immensely. Next we were challenged to a Tug of War by the Sophomores and we gave them the ducking that they had planned for us. They'll never forget it. They forgave us in part though and entertained us at a dandy recep- tion on Hallowe'en. To top off our Freshman year we copped the medals for selling the greatest number of Lyceum Course Tickets. Our Sophomore year was started with a rush by electing DeWitt Kersh, Presidentg Ralph Cohen, Vice President: and Naomi Meeker, Secre- tary and Treasurer. Our main event that year was the reception which We gave the class of '29, During the first two years we were well represented in all forms of athletics. As the year drew to a close we began to make pllans for the last two years of our school life which everyone knows are the most important. In the fall of '26 we began our Junior year in G. H. S. We called a 22

Many things were accomplished this year, the first being the pub- lication of our school paper, The Lantern. A very good staff was chosen from our class, headed by Martha Carol Schaffner as Editor-in-Chief. All the students will say that we put out the best Lantern that G. H. S. has had for quite awhile. Many more class meetings were called by .President MacFarquhar and our class play was decided upon, it being Only 38'--and boy it took the people of Galion like Grant took Richmond! Then we chose committees and laid plans for the Junior-Senior Re- ception which is an annual event in G. H. S. Months of labor and fun fol- lowed in preparation, the Senior class colors Old Rose and Steel Gray being used throughout as the color scheme. The reception is always hailed by all as a great event in school life and we sure put on a reception that will be remembered for a long time. When the Inter-class Basketball tournament was held in March our class team carried of the Silver Loving Cup, the trophy for the cham- pions. lt was presented by Ulmer's Jewelry Store as a traveling cup which goes to the class that wins from year to year. The summer passed and then the eve of our Senior year found us under a full moon, transforming the appearance of the campus with streamers of green and white. To our surprise the primary classes had slept all the day before so as to stay up late that night and we were af- forded some real competition. But the class of '28 were not to be van- quished and the rising sun shone on a greasy flag pole with a banner of green and White waving in the breeze. 'Soon a class meeting was held and Wm. MacFarquhar was again elected President, Dixie B. Snyder, Vice President, Theodore Schaefer, Secretaryg and Edward Sawyer, Treasurer. We immediately started work on our high school annual, The Spy,', by electing an efficient staff with Theodore Schaefer as Editor-in-Chief. Pub- lishing The Spy is a very difficult task and only through hard work has the staff produced a book which they believe is worthy of representing the class of '28. We are confident that our Senior Class Play will be one of the big hits of the year, and we are also looking forward to the reception which the Class of '29 is planning for us. Our class was Well represented in all fields of sport during our four years in high school. All through our high school years We enjoyed many class parties and important meetings. -And so may all the future classes of G. H. S. respect and uphold the high ideals and morals set by the Class of '28, Edward Sawyer, '28 23
