In our first year we had one man win his H , being a member of both the basketball and football squads. In the literary field we made even a better showing for three of our members, Gladys, Helen, and Harold became members of the D of D , Gladys through essay work, while Harold and Helen entered through declam work. Along the musical line we had several members in the second Glee Club and Grace W. and Beverly represented us in the orchestra. The freshman member of the pep committee was Helen. As our second year came around we determined to enter into the ac- tivities of the school more than ever so that is why we made such a good showing. Two out of the six members, Ruth and Helen, represent- ed the sophomore class on the pep committee. Beverly and Ruth en- tered the D of D , three girls belonged to the Spelling Team, three of the six debaters were sophomores, six girls were in the G. A. A., four boys on the football squad, and Eugene, Earl, and Ray were on the 'bas- ketball team. In music we had four members in the Bel Canto, seven girls in the Hop Sing High, two boys in the Glee Club, while in orchestra we held three places. When we started in on our third year we found that several of our members had dropped, but many more had joined us from St. Mary's, Dakota City, and other places. making us about fifty strong and so we took a greater part in the school life than ever before, for we had rep- resentatives in every organization except the other classes. One of our classmen, Earl, was the basketball captain. Now our fourth year has come bringing with it, its olive wreaths. Gerald was the football captain, Eugene our basketball captain, all de- baters are seniors, and we are amply represented in the musical organi- zations. Thus you can see we have raised the standard of class participation in activities, and helped to give our Alma Mater a reputation. page twenty one

S. halls for the first month of 1928- 29 year, as a fitting tribute to the departed class of May, 1928, which will indeed be missed. In witness of this, our class, on the twenty-eighth day of May, 1928, do seal this document with the H. H. S. official seal. Witnesses: Black list Prof. Wolfe's wastebasket page twenty-three
