History of fine Class of ’29 O EPTliMBER of 1927 saw the class of '29 entering high 0 school as juniors, eagerly looking forward to the work which they were to accomplish that year. A committee met with Miss Rees, and the staff for the high school paper, The Purple and White, was decided upon. Dorothy Hurd was chosen editor and Joe Mahoney, business manager. The paper gained honorable mention at the state meeting held in Champaign. The class with the aid of Miss Clark put on a very good play, The Tightwad, a three-act comedy. In the sport realm the juniors were among the best. They had seven G” men in football and a good showing in basket ball. Both boys and girls shared the enthusiasm of track. The class was represented in all of the musical activities of the year as well as in the numerous clubs. The honor roll also always contained many junior names. The members of the class of '29 all agree that their junior year has been one of the happiest since they started to school and they are looking forward with even greater anticipation to the time when they will be seniors and do greater things.

History of fhe Class of 1930 .Y Georgetown, in the year 1918, the present sophomore class began its career along educational lines. Many have been lost by the wayside and an even greater number added until only a few of the original group remain. In 192b. when our class entered high school, there were eighty-one members. At that time we were necessarily quite fresh and everything including the assembly and the upper classmen assumed vast importance. Since then we have learned that upper classmen are mere human beings and the assembly has shrunk to normal size. This year llomer Morris was elected president for the first semester. Dannie Mahoney taking his place at the beginning of the second semester. Though our class basketball teams have made little showing, several of our members have made the varsity team and on the gridiron have made themselves famous. Two of our girls and several boys were asked to join the F.L.H. club. Those who succeeded in reaching the required level in their grades attained membership in the Science club. Of our number about one-fifth have joined the Glee clubs, taking part in the operettas both years. A few girls made the semi-chorus. Quite a few entered the speaking contest last spring. We hope to add to this record in the next two years to such an extent that our teachers will feel repaid for their efforts and we may graduate happilv. a credit to old G.H.S. Mary Powici.i,, ’30
