Ti 71 Oni. Freshman Class History On the fifth day of September in the year 1926 at 9 A. M. there came to the Herington High School Building some seventy-six girls and boys whose faces were filled with eagerness and anticipation and whose eyes sparkled with interest. It was several days before the process of organization was completed and these boys and girls coming from the four corners of our town found themselves working as one unit, the eighth grade. During this same time a process of assimilation was going on and one morning this class found they were a part of our splendid High School system and were instructed to organize and to elect some one of their number to represent them in the High School Student Council. As a consequence our sponsors, Mrs. Frost and Miss Kunkle, called a class meeting and the following officers were elected: Student Council Representative, Max Hollister: Class President, Edith Gilman, Secretary, Florence Meyers: Pep Club, Dean Hughes, Jacob Bernhardt. During our eighth grade year we distinguished ourselves by being model students, we had football, basketball and track teams, each making an ex- cellent record and bringing honor to Our Class and when school closed in May, seventy-two of us were promoted. During our eighth gradeship we had considered ourselves a part of the High School but on the morning of September 6th, 1927, we truly became members of the School and as Freshmen entered the fold some ninety strong. We immediately organized, sending as our representative in Student Council, Ted Keever, and electing the following officers: Max Hollister, Presi- dent, Edward Eastridge, Vice-President, Dale Koepke, Secretary, Jacob Bernhardt, Cheer Leader, Jacob Bernhardt and Dean Hughes, Pep Club. Under our sponsor, Miss Harding, as Freshmen we are well represented in all the activities of the school gathering to ourselves and holding our share of the honors. During our initial year we have made our personality, scholarship and leadership so felt that we are confident the class of 1931 will ever be favor- ably looked upon by faculty and student body. Here's to the Good old Herington High, Here's to her colors, the red and the orange, Long may they wave, Ever untarnished and ever unstained. tmmmm-.zmm mmmzn-arm?

X , Li fi I-sz-: 41. W vu 16 5 Eiqhih Grade Class Hisiory ln the early days of September, I927, very hard winds began to blow which seemed to be coming from all directions. A great calm followed and it was discovered that these winds had blown to the site of the Herington High School building an unusual group of new comers who introduced them- selves as eighth graders from the north, east and west and they were seventy- five in number. The first class meeting was held in room eight and Earle Pybus was elected president, Corrine McRae vice-president, Isabelle Hughes secretary and David Tripp member of Student Council. Kathryn Baldridge was ap- pointed Newspaper reporter for the class. Soon after the election of class officers a Good Citizen's club was or- ganized. The object of this club was to foster good citizenship based upon the high ideals of American Democracy. This club was sponsored by Mrs. Frost and the officers were T. Hughes, presidentg Arthur Hartung, vice- president and William Gilliam, secretary. For four years an organization has existed in the eighth grade important in the social life of the girls. This organization has been known as the Girl Volunteers. To foster a good spirit of friendship and develop leadership have been its motives. The present organization was organized in September, l92 7, with a membership of thirty and the election of Arlene Marshall, presi- dent, Kathryn Baldridge, vice-president, Isabelle Hughes, secretary, Corrine McRae, treasurer and Miss Kunkle, sponsor. The social events of the year have been a Christmas and Valentine party for the members, a reception held May first for the in-coming class of eighth grade girls and a Mothers Day party given May l0th in honor of the mothers of the Volunteers. The eighth grade boys coached by Mr. Crouch have taken an active part in athletics and though they have not won all the games they have had some valuable experience and placed themselves upon the map of the athletic field of the Herington High School. So ends the year. Next year it will be our part to show the eighth grad- ers where they belong and we think our past experience will insure our suc- cess. '-mezzzmmmm emuz'znmezm'm-l
