Every one excells in something in which another fails.—Publius. Class Poem That we may keep a faith that’s fine, That we may feel a love that’s due; That we may become friends worth having, That we may leave our record true: That honor ever grow far dearer, That we act from motives pure, That we may give to following classes A pathway more secure. Lead by the light of understanding, And true to our ideals high, May we reach the highest mountain, Bathed in the glory of a success-lit sky. May our standards never falter, But with courage day by day, Grow more worthy and more gallant Helping others on their way. To our Gold and Royal Purple May we ever be more true, And inspire, purpose higher—, Twenty-Seven—for you! —Dorothy Drury. History of the Class of 1927 By Louise Webster. Generally the history of a class begins with the account of the experiences of the first year in high school, but our records extend as far back as 1914, when twenty-two boys and girls entered the first grade. Fifteen of this number have worked and played together until now, when we are about to be graduated from high school. We look back with satisfaction over the good times we have en- joyed, and with regret when we think of the years of close association and in- timate friendship so soon to be ended. In 1923 we entered high school, some of us in January and others in June. The January class felt quite proud because fourteen out of thirty-four received honor diplomas. As freshmen, we were so awed and subdued by the upper class- men that, although the class was organized, we accomplished little, socially or scholastically. However, in our sophomore year we gave a real Sophomore Hop in the high school gym May 16, 1924. We were all proud of this affair, for the artistic dec- orations of flowers and crepe paper and the tasty refreshments, produced by our own skill and efforts, deserved the praise given by our guests.
