Although they are the smallest class in the school, they have been loyal supporters of everything and believe that they surpass the classes of previous years—but this is only natural. While they were Freshmen, the class was one of the very largest, but each year it has diminished, until now there are only eight, while as Freshies there were eighteen. As Freshmen, they were not very studious, and played all the time, as Freshmen will. They had parties, hikes and took a small part in school activities. As Sophomores they filled a few student body offices, took a part in school activities. Juniors—they were the leaders of the school. Put on a very successful Junior Promenade, had some more parties, and were very well represented in both boys’ and girls’ athletics. And now Seniors. How much that name means, no one will ever under- stand until they carry it! The Seniors are one of the most active classes in school. One of their number is student body president, another is one of the Society Leaders. I hey are well represented on the annual staff, and also in the Student Council. The Seniors put on a very successful Senior Ball early in the spring. They have been very prominent in athletics, both boys and girls being represented. Although the Class of ’30 is one of the smallest classes in the history of our school, still they have put over some large enterprises. Now they bid farewell to dear G. II. S., the scene of many happy days, and also many trials and tribulations, but the future holds the same, to some extent, and the Seniors can look back with gladness on their happ- school daj'S Farewell, dear Alma Mater! -9- KEN KENDRICK LOIS HASTINGS DICK MeCLURG MATIE GREEN ELMA FITT NED CHAFFIN CAROLINE BEEBE EARL BEEBE I o ? Juniors .-t-. Wt ’ I 'HE Class of ’31 started the school year by electing the following officers:' Cyril Curtis, President; Caroline Beebe, Vice-President and Class Represent- ative; Earl Beebe, Secretary and Treasurer; Ned Chaffin, Class Senator and Re- porter. The Juniors gave their annual party to the Student Body and Eaculty, November 29th. It was declared a huge success by everyone there. The Junior Prom was given March 15th. It was a very fitting climax to the social activities of the year. The class indulged in much work and expense while decorating but their efforts were well paid for, due to a large crowd being in attendance. Under the able direction of the Prom Committee, Matie Greene, Eric Simonson and Lois Hastings, the class put on the Prom with one viewpoint, to make it a success—which they did! In years gone by the Juniors have always taken part in all activities. The members were wide awake and showed much spunk. Oh, well, why go back? Always look ahead and get farther! c ----------- - hi - RAMEY POUTANO SPADAFORA HASTINGS REDIER SILLIMAN HUNT ? Sophomores 'I'll I; Sophomore class of 1929-30 has represented much spirit and enthusiasm throughout the school year. The able minded officers have urged the willing students to participate in all school activities. They have been represented in the following: baseball, basketball, track, school play, and school operettas. Our socials have been of the best during the year. October 4th, we entertained the student body and faculty at a very exciting party. As the crowd left the auditorium, loud cheers rang out for the Sophomores. The annual Sophomore Swing was held April 25th at the Midland Hotel Ball Room. Everyone seemed to have had a very enjoyable time. The Sophomore’s booth at the Junior Prom representing a Chinese Tea Garden, was decorated in yellow, green and pink. We sold tea, candy and cookies. The Sophomore pennant of blue and gold, hanging in the Study Hall adds light and color to the room. The Sophomore class is looking forward to other successful years. 4ft-------- 1 o cp T Front Row—Shaner, Simonson, Wilcox, Searson. Hack Row—Slater, I rensh.

They won the prize for the most attractive booth at the Junior Prom. There are four Freshmen whose names appear on the Honor Roll, two of them being on the first roll. The Freshmen took their initiation as a joke. The girls wore green stockings, the boys wore their shirts backwards and all Freshmen wore green bibs. At the end of initiation week, the Freshmen put on a clever program. The officers of the Freshman class are; Tony Sada, President; Reba Ekker, Vice-President; Genevieve Shaner. Secretary and Treasurer and Class Reporter; Ralph Wolf, Class Senator: Arlys Searson, Class Repre- sentative. The Freshman Class being the largest in the school put on a very successful Freshman Hop. Many of the Freshmen appeared in the operettas. Tony Sada taking a leading part in the last one. As a whole, they consider their activities very successful for a group of green and inexperienced “Freshies.” - 12 cJb Front Row—McClurg. Ross, captain; Smith. Curtis.

S. boys' basketball team had a very successful year. They placed second in Grand Division of Region five. They put several feathers in their hats by defeating Huntington and Ferron in their Emery invasion. They split in two games with Carbon and won ever Moab, Monticello, and Blanding. The team played sixteen games during the season, with an average of 435 points, or 27 3 16 points to a game. Their opponents had an average of 305 points or 19 1 16 points to a game. All in all they had a very successful year. ■V -------------------------------------------------- - 14- ub T Front Row—Hatch, Greene, I lastings (c), Ekker.

Coach Moffitt took a keen interest in the team, and the results were better than ever before. The team played eight games; winning four and losing two and two resulting in ties. Monticello was considered our strongest opponent. The girls suf- fered their first defeat at the hands of this speedy team, but the return game was hard fought and it resulted in a tie. The last game of the season was with Moab. “Hard luck” followed the girls for one week before this game. Two of the first string had the mumps and were unable to play. The girls fought a losing battle from the first of the game. At the first of the season, Lois Hastings was elected captain, and she adequately filled this position. Athletic manager Greene helped the team by arranging games for us and looking after our little hurts and ills. All in all the Girls’ team of the Green River High School put up an excellent battle throughout the season and we leave behind us the best record of many years. tt 4� GXP----- Jb ?

Track IN the spring of ’29, Coach Bickmore started to mold his track squad from green material. Two letter men re- ported, all of the rest were Freshmen and Sophomores. In the Emery County Meet we placed fourth. In a dual meet with Moab, we placed second and in the Region meet we placed fifth. All in all we had a very successful season. This year we are looking forward to an even more successful year. This, our annual, goes to press before any of the track events take place. - 16- (Jb T ACTIVITIES o on 1 o on Chorus JNDER the able leadership of Mr. Moffitt, Principal, the chorus class has been very successful this year. More students took up chorus work this year than in the years previous, and among them were found some excellent voices. The class was made up of Freshmen, Sophomores, Juniors, and Seniors combined. Two operettas were given during the school year. The first “Bits O’ Blarney” was presented in December. Doris Porter. Frank Ross, Ruth Hatch and Howard Silliman took the leading roles, and a chorus of thirty voices helped to put it across. The second, Pioneers’ Papoose,” was presented in April. Lucinda Hunt, Howard Silliman, Ruth Hatch and Tony Sada, playing the principal parts and a fine chorus of voices was added. Caroline Beebe and Matie Greene were found to be very competent pianists. Each played for one operetta. With the combined efforts of the chorus, the pianists, and our director, Mr. Moffitt, a fine year of music was witnessed and was ended by learning some classical songs for chorus work. CJL ?

Due to the ability of organizing in the foregoing school year, by Orion Myrup. prospective band members were solicited from the elementary and high school. Similar to all worthwhile organizations, our band had a most humble beginning and has progressed slowly and surely against many odds and draw- backs. until it has become, at present, the pride of our school and community. Too much credit cannot be attributed to such an organization which has developed itself so rapidly and consistently. The Band members have been attentive and conscientious in their work. They have I tied to cooperate, knowing that teamwork alone spells success. Morning, noon and Sunday afternoons practices were well attended and this fact portrays vividlv the interest shown by the members. What's in a name? Why, a name means everything it represents. It is one password anywhere. Can anyone doubt that they haven't deserved their name? Let’s see, there’s “B.” It is the first letter and stands for business. Surely they are there for business and busy as bees. Then along toddles little “a which doubtless signifies aptness. Is there any doubt as to the aptness the members have shown in the rapidity wherewith they have mastered their instruments? The “n” has numerous peculiarities, chief among which might be naturalness. You have never seen our Band stage frightened. No, sir. not our Band! Masters of their instruments do not suffer from the malady. Of course “d means nothing less than daring. Imagine our members afraid of plaving any old song. Why, certainly Sousa will die of envy yet—if he hasn't already. Our Band is 100% for our school and our city. Long may it live! ? 0 --------- -20- ? Faculty Play ONE of the outstanding entertainments of the year was the Faculty Play pre- sented by the Faculty of the Green River School, in the High School Aud- itorium. February 27, 1930. The play “Safety First”, was presented to a large number of Green River citizens, and was declared one of the best plays ever given in Green River. THE CAST Jack iMontgomery.....................

The accomplishments of the year are: the underwear problem, and making of bloomers, slips, kimonos and pajamas. Christmas presents were studied by the girls and many clever gifts for friends and relatives were made. The girls studied textiles (wool, silk, cotton and linen). These textiles were studied so thoroughly that every girl knows how all materials are made. The studying of types of people and dress proved very interesting to the class, also beneficial for the girls now know what color and pattern is best for their type. In the studying of children’s clothing, the girls made note books on the subject. The girls made two cotton dresses and the closing of the school year found them with beautiful silk dresses which had been made in class. The past matrons of the O. E. S. gave an award to the girl having the best skill and attitude in Domestic Art. Besides accomplishing all these things the girls gave a Hallowe’en Dance. The proceeds from the dance were used in buying drapes for the Domestic Art Department. The girls made the new window drapes. In May the girls gave a reception and fashion show. The crowd declared it was the cleverest event of the season. While I lome Economics has certain factual values the real worth lies in stimulating life interest and inspirations for training to live more fully and har- moniously within the family group. The Domestic Art girls during the year strived to follow the characteristics of a Home Economics girl: She is hospitable: resourceful, healthy: thrifty; helpful and thoughtful. She has poise. She is neat and orderly and dresses smartly. She is honest and loyal and is a I lome lover. She is clean in thought, word and deed. CJL) 4 --------- - 22 - do ? 1 O on l o on Domestic Science ■ JNDEK the able supervision of our foods teacher. Miss Melba Stuart, the Domestic Science department has made great headway during the course of the school year. The girls have taken lessons in the following: canning, (fruits and vegetables) the use of eggs as a food and the ways of preserving, making of different candies, the planning of different types of breakfasts, bread making, pasteries, cakes, along with ideas on economy in preparing food. Along towards the last of the year each two girls planned and prepared a dinner and served it to the class and a few guests. The equipment in the department is all very practical and new. This year a new electric range was installed, and this, with the coal range instal- led last year, there is plenty of room to accommodate all of the girls. The second year girls planned and gave demonstrations and talks on salads and sandwiches. They first gave their talks to the class and then to the Woman’s Club of Green River. tx ?

The scene of gaiety was out on a desertecl flat. After everyone was “played out” wieners were roasted and eaten. The party ended with the singing of school songs. I he Sophomore Class opened the class activities by presenting the Student Body with an October party. It was well attended by the students. Dancing held sway with the crowd, until refreshments were served. Several snappy games were played. The party was declared a success by the guests. A successful Harvest Masquerade, sponsored by the Domestic Art Class was held in the High School Auditorium late in October. The hall was festooned in Autumnal colors. Pumpkins, corn stalks, gay colored leaves and branches of trees, adorned the walls and corners of the hall. Everyone came masked in gay and grotesque costumes. At 10:30 the signal was given to unmask and then the dance went on as merrily as before. In November the Junior Class entertained the Student Body at a party in the High School Auditorium. The students joined in the games and dancing, making the party a success. Refreshments were served and then all good nights were said. The Junior Promenade, pronounced the biggest success of the year, was held in March at the High School Auditorium. The hall was decorated as a flower garden, the predominating colors being American Beauty and Emerald Green. Flowers of various shades of pink hung about, pink and green lights dimmed the garden. The Freshmen, Sophomore and Junior Classes erected booths and sold refreshments. First prize was awarded the “Stone Well,” which represented the labors of the Freshman Class. The special feature of the dance was the Junior Promenade, led by Mr. Bickmore, Class Sponsor. The dance was well attended by citizens of Green River and many out-of-town people. The Freshman Hop was also a success. It was given in the Auditorium I he Hall was decorated in pink and green. The Freshmen and Junior High Departments had booths. The annual School Hike was held on the met at school and went to Little Valley in cars, enjoyable time. first day of April. The students Everyone present reported a very CJL ? 4 --------- -26- Jb ? SPADAFORA HATCH SII.LIMAN HASTINGS Philo—Chippewa ACCORDING to the old tradition of G. R. 11. S. the Philo-Chippewa societies were organized again this year. I hese societies have been in the school for a number of years with the purpose of competition among the students as well as entertainment. The organizations were begun this year by electing leaders to each group, and choosing students for each side. By a vote of the Student Body, Lois Hastings and Howard Silliman were elected Chippewa leai'ws, and Frank Spadafora and Ruth Hatch were elected Philo leaders. During the school year the societies entered wholeheartedly into the following activities: assemblies, baseball, basketball, track, spelling, tennis, volley ball, debate, ball throwing and scholarship. For each of these events points were given, and at the end of the first and last halves of school, the defeated side entertained the winning side with a party. The year was ended by all of the events being fulfilled and with each side putting forth their best efforts to make a success of all of them.
