T HE LAUR E 0 L A ,za-.hear fee iiggrfr 2 .6 - x A I xX SENIOR CLASS HISTORY The history of the Class of '27 has been made. As we reach the last stepping stone in our high school career and stop to look about and survey, for a moment the events of the past four years. it may truly be said that history has woven itself about us and entangled itself with us in a way that we have become a part of it. From the autumn of our freshman year, when we entered the halls of G. T. H. S. one hundred and fifty-five strong, until the present have seemed to live in a period of action, progress and discipline. Many and difficult were the tasks set before us but under the careful supervision of our untiring friend Prof. Jacob B. Sheetz we made rapid progress. After the usual round of class elections, meetings and initiiation ceremonies we came to the end of our first year with many a Good Luck and Hope to see you next year. When we entered G. T. H. S. in our Sophomore year with somewhat diminished numbers. The thought of the great struggle for success was ever before us and we worked until we reached the longed-for and dis- tinguished position of upper classmen. In the columns of Society the class of '27 was not found missing but gave to the freshmen one of the finest planned receptions ever held. Now, the young man goes boldly up to the young lady and asks to take her home from the party or game something he would not have attempted the previous year. After a pleasant vacation we again met in the fall of '25 under some- what similar surroundings with perhaps harder tasks to master but with the motto ever in sight, By work we shall reach the goal for which we are striving. , This is the year when the Juniors are given the chance to show their ability on the stage. The Full House was the play chosen which not only brought honor and praise to the players but was a great success financially. The Junior Prom was another social event in the life of class '27 and will long be remembered by them and their friends. The happy group who entered as freshmen are now Seniors. Our number has decreased from one hundred fifty-five to seventy. In athletics our class surpasses many others. A number of the boys played football an dreceived honorable mention. We also have con- tributed three members to the High School Basketball team, one of whom was put on the all F. C. I' A. L. team. Our class play, Black and Blue which was the first to be staged this Year was a great success and one in which all the cast took their parts exceedingly well. Although we have never neglected our studies to a. great extent, We have done some pranks of which the Professors did not forget to re- mind us that we were Seniors and that we should make ourselves an ex- ample for the lower classmen, but the well known saying is, A little non- sense now and then is relished by the best of men. Our work is now completedg we have tried hard to do our best. We are now ready to go out into life and fight the battle which all of us must fight if we succeed in life. We also feel that we have benefitted by the four years We have spent in G. T. H. S.-the Alma Mater that is loved by all her sons and daughters. As she has served us in the immediate past, scivwill wi Ystrive to uphold the teachings and traditions in the future. arewe . e 27
