 OLD ROSE AND WHITE At the beginning of the fourth year we again lost more of our class members. Leone Blake, Gladys Atkinson, Carl Price, Harold Richard, John Trover, Herbert Aikman, Albert Hale, Charlotte Jones and Mable Pear-man dropped off at different stations. We again chose Ruby Myers president and Frances Dunn, secretary-treasurer. The year proved to be an exciting one with the selection of class rings, invitations and days for commencement and Baccalaureate.

OLD ROSE AND WHITE CLASS HISTORY On September 8, 1924, we began our school career as high school students, with an aggregation of fifty-four pupils from the various grade schools of Helt Township. We wish to leave a record showing our work and progress during these four years of joyful and yet purposeful work. The first year we elected the following class officers: Joe Blue, class president; Ruby Myers, vice-president; and Frances Dunn, secretary and treasurer. We enjoyed many parties and weiner roasts, but best of all was the loyal school spirit shown by our class. At the beginning of our second year, we were amazed at the loss of so many of our class members. Joe Blue, Frances Brayden, Raymond Burton, Virginia Chappelear, Emma Cooper, Cleo Ferguson, Bonnie Nolan, Gilbert Resler, Lawrence Skidmore, Hattie Sims and Byrl Wright were forced to drop off at different times and stations to take up their journeys of life on another train. Although we lost so many of our classmates, we gained two, Donald Burnett, and Dallas Lawson. Due to the fact that our president did not come back the second year, Ruby Myers was elected president and Frances Dunn was again chosen secretary and treasurer. Parties and weiner roasts were given by the class and all had enjoyable times. During the year, the different members of our class attended the basketball games and other athletic features. The third year we again elected Ruby Myers president and Frances Dunn secretary-treasurer. This year we again lost a large number from our class, among whom were Donald Burnett, Bertha Chambers, Harvey Cooper, Leo Foltz, Mary Ella Hos, Dallas Lawson, Gladys Nolan, Kathleen Payton, Elsie Skelton and Harold Waters, who dropped off at the different side stations. Many good times and parties were enjoyed by all and among the most interesting of the social functions was the Junior-Senior banquet. This affair was handled very nicely by our class officers and our class sponsor. When decorating for the banquet, the assembly was transformed into a beautiful Japanese Garden in spring. Dance programs, in the shape of three-leaf clovers, were given to each person as he entered the ballroom. Punch was served by a Japanese boy and girl to the dancers. It was near St. Patrick’s Day and the banquet room was decorated in green and white. l'af e fourteen 19 2 8
