and boys. Miss Gertrude Patrick was the director and in the spring she sent a number to represent our school in the contest. Several of the representatives came from our class and they brought back honors to the school. In the later part of November the basketball players began to practice. Hollis Edwards and Marshall Bonta were our outstanding players. A number of our girls came out and made good. The Junior Year When the Junior ('lass of ’JO assembled we found instead of our former superintendent, Mr. A. K. McKcmie, a new official in the person of Mr. W. W. Ensminger. who soon demonstrated his ability to settle1 satisfactorily all class discussions. Our class was unusual in this respect—it was made up of twenty-one boys and twelve girls, a ratie) hitherto unknown in the annals of the school. The ffiee rs chosen were George Bohon, president; Ilollis Edwarels, vice president; Eelwin Hue, secretary and treasurer. In May we gave the Seniors a reception at Beaumont Inn. The next week Mr. Ensminger called a meeting of the class and asked the girls to usher at the Commencement exercises. Of course we all said “yes” because we thought that we, too, would be of some importance. We also decorated the church and auditorium. This ended our three years as lower classmen and we knew that next fall we would be the “highest of the high.” The Senior Year We started our Senior year on September the 8th. When Mr. Ensminger read out the names of the Seniors we counted twenty-eight. Then, to our disappointment, we were assigned to the former Junior girls’ room, instead of the largest and best room in the building, we thought, but now that we have spent our Senior year in it we think that it is the dearest and best room in the building and we know that we will remember it best of all. We will remember it particularly as the eraser room. If you would 'ike to know what this means, ask the “Throwers,” George Bohon, “Skip” Rue, Marshall Bonta. Horace Squifflet, Bobby Gibbs, Dalton Cull and Rodgers Clemmons, and the “Dodgers,” Anne Dedman. Edna Ison, Lucile Gabhart and Jane Hutton. They will give you all the details. Malcolm Knight was elected president; “Skip” Rue, vice president, and Anne Dedman, secretary and treasurer. Our President Knight has led us through the year admirably and we congratulate him on his fine work both in the class room and out. If Malcolm were not at school, “Skip” carried his burden well. Anne Dedman took care of our finances in such a way that we came out owing no man anything. We are very proud of our boys and girls in athletics. The Senior boys made up over half the football team, and all the basketball team was taken from the Seniors. Christine Trower and Catherine Gulley, two of the best girl players, came from the Senior Class. On May the 15th, the Juniors gave us a dinner-dance at Shakertown Inn; and with this entertainment our school activities ended in a blaze of glory. Commencement Day! Day of all days; “Through hail or binding fire-balls, sleet or stifling snow.” We have arrived. JANK BIRD HUTTON. Page twenty-four

HISTORY OF THE SENIOR CLASS ‘'Oh! let us hope that our sands have run With wisdom's precious grains: Oh! may we find that our hands have done Some work of glorious pains. The History of the Class of 19:51 may not bo of much concern 1o anyone but ourselves, but, to us, we hold it dear, for it embraces four of the most glorious years of our life. Ushered in with much fear and trepidation, we suffered all tin ignominy that the “High Mats ’ could impose on us. Hut we were game and won our position as an important part of the school in the class room and in athletics. We regret to make the record that out of sixty-five pupils who came to High School as Freshmen in 1927, there are only sixteen to be graduated. Some have moved away, some have married, others have .just stopped school. However, we have added to our roll twelve new members, making a total of twenty-eight. Freshman Year Early in September, 1927, we called a class meeting and Hollis Edwards was elected president. Among some of the educational features attempted was the organization of a hand under the direction of Professor Victor Emanuel Moore. A number procured band instruments and entered active practice, but we are sorry to say that the organization was abandoned. However, a few continued their practice privately and are still playing for the amusement that they derive from it. With many hikes and picnics the year passed quickly and with the fatherly advice of Mr. A. K. McKemie and the excellent instructions of the faculty we came through the grind. When May came we felt that we were capable of assuming the “big name,” Sophomore. Sophomore Year When the Sophomore ('lass roll was called in the fall of 1928, there were only forty-nine to answer “present.” Most of us felt a great responsibility as we were to be an example for the unsophisticated Freshman. Mary Will White was elected president. When the football season opened, under the instruction of Coach Len Tracy, a number of our boys came out. Altho they all did not make the first team, they showed that with a little practice and experience they would be excellent players. Our class was represented in the Glee Club by a few girls Page twenty-three
