WJ ' PrjfTKmnjnEP. r l . Officers Cecil Edney President Frances Kirk Vice-President Robert Sanders Secretary -Treasurer THE HISTORY of the 1927 GRADUATING CLASS of HIGHLAND PARK HIGH SCHOOL On looking into the history of our class it will be found that most of us have come up from Armstrong. Six of us came all the way from the first grade of that school. Many of us watched this building being erected, and when it was opened, our class came in as the lowest — the seventh grade. This is our fifth year in this building. Some of our original number have dropped out or have gone to other schools. Others who have come from other schools have been added to our class. The history of our class is interwoven with the history of the school since it was founded. Of course, the school has grown, and our class has grown accordingly. In 19 23 there were only six teachers in school, with one hundred and twenty pupils. The first graduating class had thirty members. Our class, the largest in the history of the school, has eighty-four members. Now there arc twenty teachers in school, with five hundred pupils. These figures show the wonderful progress that has been made in the school. The same progress has been made by our class, because the progress of a class is wrapped up with that of the school. Our class has had its part in the school activities. We have had representatives in every line of endeavor. But we do not claim the credit of these achievements for ourselves. The credit is due to all the teachers who have added their interest and co- operation to everything we have done. The class appreciates especially the interest shown our class by Mr. Gable. Halcuit Moore. 1 iiiji m ■m: m
