The leaders in the home stretch were Bob Ramsby, Defoe Eckel- barger, Vivien Baker, and Mary Reith. This seemed to be the time to make up for our lack of parties in preceding years, so on February 18 we made merry in the cafeteria at a wonderful pot luck dinner in honor of St. Valentine. On May 3 we frolicked at the class dance in the gym and again in the same place on May 24 at the junior-Senior Prom, said to be the best in years. We again set a precedent when we decided on caps and gowns for graduation dress. Ours is the first class since 1915 to have this distinction. Those who have received pins for scholarship throughout the three years are: for the first year-Virginia Brown, Mary Reith, Dorothy Zook, Amy Bonfield, Rhea East, Louise VVeaver, Vivien Baker, Retha Davis, Burdette Burbank, Delioe Eckelbargerg for the second year- Donna Bailey, Barbara Dow, Violet Strycker, Mary Larson: for the third year-Doris Burnstein, Albert Courtney, Hazel Frey, Hubert Gorsuch, VVilliam Hulwick, Dorothy Lewis. Those who have been honor students for four years and those who have been of the first ten this year will receive their rewards later today. Now we are up to the present. You can see for yourselves what the Class of '29 has done through co-operation. 'VERNON J. PEASE. CLAII IDUEM VVe know we'll have to smile, Although the skies be greyg And battles will come up To test us day by day. Good bye, old G. H. S., We're leaving you todayg And soon we shall be launched Upon life's great highway. But just suppose we win, And meet with much successg We'll know it's you we owe it to Cur dear, old G. H. S. And yet we're not afraid The future to beholdg What we've accomplished here Means more to us than gold. E Now our paths will separate, Each one his place must find. But in spirit let us ever stand As the Class of '29. , HELEN STONER. Page 28 A?! iZ5ikW. 5 222' Wf'-Ygfffwkwlbim ' '

VVe chose our officers: Bob Ramsby, Bob Bender, Lucille Stoner, and Rhea East. Then we settled down to a life of seclusion. Vtfe set a precedent this year, nevertheless, when we gave pins to ten members of the class who ranked highest in scholarship in their Freshman year. ln September of 1927, we learned that juniors are merely servants for Seniors, so we started out to be the best. VVith Vernon Pease, Charles Snyder, Rhea East, and Dorothy Zook as head domestics, we began earning money in preparation for a proper send off to the Seniors in the spring, and in order to obtain an even higher plane of co-operation than was already present, we were divided into seven groups. The really big event of the year was the play, They All Want Something, which We presented in the auditorium on February 9. The net proceeds from the play amounted to 822500. It was also a huge success from an entertainment point of view, due mostly to Miss 'Theek's ardent work in coaching. The Sixth Group sold more tickets than any other group, thus earning a banquet in their honor. Two special prizes were also given for individual selling. In the spring we brought the idea before the school of having a standardized class ring, and it was adopted. Rushed as we were, getting ready to help the Seniors graduate, We took time to have an enjoyable little party at Blosser's on lVlay 21, at which we rollicked as much as we did when we were Freshmen. From then on it was easy to distinguish us from Seniors. For, if you saw a tired looking person, covered with crepe-paper, pins and tacksg dashing around, Working here and there, climbing through the rafters in the gym or anything like that you were certain it was one of us. The gym, on the night of the Prom, Friday, lVlay 25, was a jap- anese garden, of which to be proud. lt more than repaid us for our labors. The same was true of the auditorium during Baccalaureate on May 27, and Class Day and Commencement Exercises in the afternoon and evening of lVlay 31. Thus culminated our third year in G. H. S. On Thursday, September 29, 1928, we assembled in the auditorium and began as a class, our fourth, last and most important year of our high school career. Everyone called us Seniors after that, and We were looked up to by the three lower classes. W'hat a grand and glorious feeling! Page 27

CCLAII IONG NVhen the evening shadows fall VVe're thinking, Class, of youg 'Tis sad to know that parting comes, And we must bid adieu. But other things are calling usg We've got to run the raceg And whether it be joy or tears, The future we must face. Oh! we played the game Fair and square, you see, That's the reason we're on top. Oh! we never moaned, Or we never groaned, Whether we got U's or not. We hate to think of leaving, CHORUS- Oh! that Class of mine! The Class of '29! That's the one l'm thinking of Oh! we always worked, And we never shirked From the tasks we had to do. Oh, that Class of mine! The Class of '29! lt's a cruel thing to do, But we'll say goodbye With a tear in our eyeg We'll wish good luck to you. We hope success we'll be achieving. FREDERICK BICKEL. JUNIOIQ ADVICE In the midst of our Class Day we pause to give you, Juniors, a bit of advice. You are now on the last stretch of your high school career. Strive to make that year the best of all. This high school aims to give its pupils some vocational work and to offer training for citizenship and the proper use of leisure time. Look up to these ideals and try to lift your plane of living to them. We Seniors have had our chance at them and had partial successes and failures. Remember that it will never hurt you to be forceful and confident in setting out to accomplish the right task. Cultivate school spirit. The under-classmen imitate the attitude the Seniors take toward activitiesg if you do not adopt the right atti- tude, the result will be the lowering of the standard of good.. old Goshen High School. join in all the school activities. Co-operate and work for class spirit instead of falling into cliques. The failure of a class, as a class, is the lack of co-operation and loyalty. Remember that each day's work done to the best of your ability is bound to bring success. ' BARBARA Dow. Page 29
