When we, as Freshmen, entered the portals of Hoopeston High, guided only by tradition and strange tales of high school life, our predictions for our future existence were anything but of the cheerful variety. Entirely unknown to us were the trials and tribulations of the average high school student. However, as time progressed, we lost our shy and unassuming decor- um and blazed forth in all our glory. Our Freshman year was not marked by anything conspicuously prominent although we filled very capably the berths occupied by the class of 1926 the year previous. Our lines of en- deavor followed almost in congruency with those of our predecessors. This much, however, is in a great measure true of all Freshmen classes. Our chief accomplishment during that year consisted in the publishing of the first of our annual class magazines, The Freshmen Broadcasting Sta- tion, which has been followed by The Sophomore Magazine and Ye Olde Junior Yeare Bookef' These constitute the body of our literary efforts. ln the fall of our Sophomore year, ofiicers were elected and class sweat- ers agreed upon. Our sweaters, at- tractively designed and colored in the class colors, navy blue and steel grey, immediately drew the favorable at- tention of the school at large and our importance in the paths of school en- deavor was at last recognized. blossomed forth that fall when Glenn Bell won his letter in football and firmly established our class in the realm of sport. In basketball our number of athletes was greatly in- creased when four of our number gained recognition. The following: Earle Nelson, Glenn Bell, Tate Duley and Raymond Cooper, constituted the number which gave us supremacy over the other classes in this line. In track we were ably represented by Robert Welty, whose speed and en- durance enabled him to win his let- ter as well as several trophies in vari- ous track events held in the state last spring. Gur Junior year has been one of triumph. In sports, musical enter- tainments and all lines of activity our efforts have been rewarded with suc- cess. The football team contained three Juniors while three others won letters, the basketball team, with one exception, was made up of Juniors, and we look forward to having several men on the track squad. The semi- chorus this year will largely consist of Juniors, although the other classes will also be well represented. It must also be remembered that the semi- chorus last year consisted, to a great extent, of members of the class of 1927. Having performed its duties credit- ably in the past, the class of '27 stands ready to take up its work in the Senior division as soon as that de- partment is vacated by the class of Our first representative in athletics '26. -Tate Duley, '27.
