'SE IGRS CLASS OFFICERS Raymond Chmelik - - - President Frank Jaburek - - - Vice-President NOTHER year has passed, which brings our four years of high school training at dear old J. S. M. to a close. These four terms have been spent in the best way possible to achieve distinctions in scholarship, athletics, and other activities. We, the senior class, sincerely hope that we have made a name for ourselves which will be remembered in years to come. Well do we remember that first day of school in 1924 when we entered Morton, one thousand thirty-four strong, as freshmeng and two hundred sixty-nine more entered in February. Our char- acteristics, of course, were similar to those of all other freshmen, for we showed signs of timid- ity, of ignorance in finding our class rooms, and had qualities of know-nothings. Shortly after our first few weeks we buckled down to our studies and became accustomed to the daily routine of the school. We soon became so well organized that the class ofiicers were elected. Arthur Smith, Gerald Pittman, Annette Smith, and Henry Barone were chosen to pilot the class, and the following advi ers were selectedg Miss Bartels, Miss Beaver, Mr. Doxsee, Miss Ellis, Mr. Free- mark, Mr. Lee, Mr. Moore, and Miss Thorns- burgh. Sixteen parties were held during our first year, this being a larger number than any upperclass had. All ofthe students could not go to the same party, so we were divided alphabetically. We managed to live through our first year and with a considerably smaller number started out as sophomores, settling down for a good year's work. The new class officers elected at the be- Ethel Petrina - - - - Secretary Eugene Hammond- - - -Treasurer ginning ofthe term were Donald Barton, presi- dentg Essie Collins. vice-president: Eleanor Hall, secretaryg and Helene Rohlfing, treasurer. Now that we were upperclassmen, we felt more im- portant about the school. As there were not many clubs open to us, some of our group began to participate in athletics. During our freshman year Donald Barton made both the football and basketball teams: John Medlicott also made the football team. This was, indeed, a good begin- ning, for in our second year a number of other boys gained places on teams. In September, 1927, we came back about six hundred strong. Our group had diminished be- cause a number had graduated from a two year course. Again we elected entirely new class of- ficers. They were William Walton, presidentg Bert Hall, vice-president: Jean White, secretary and Rollin Moulton, treasure. By this time Mr. Doxsee and Miss Beaver had left Morton, so we only had six advisers: but these fulfilled all our wants. The main social event of the year was the junior prom, which was held the latter psrt ot April. This gala affair went off big, for it was headed by active committees: it was held in the Little Theatre and in the halls ofthe fourth floor. There were also many parties and social hours. Charles Boley was honored by winning the Sophomore Cup. He was the sixth student and the first boy to have his name engraved on this cup. Then, too, four more excelled in scholar- ship, being elected to the National Honor So- ciety. They were Robert Colville, Esaro Fab-

l SENIOR CLASS ADVISERS Allen R. Moore Zada Thornsburgh bro, Bert Hall, and Jean White. The enior year, the biggest and best of all the others, brought four hundred back to J. S. M. Raymond Chmelik was elected presidentg Frank Jaburek, vice-presidentg Ethel Petrina, secretary: and Eugene Hammond, treasurer. These officers were chosen to lead the class through the last year successfully. Social events were planned for almost immediately, social hours being held every other Wednesday. Two class parties were given to which the juniors were invited. The senior class sponsored a Charity Ball just before Christmas, the first of its kind ever given at Mor- ton. This year our class has taken a big part in ath- letics. Donald Barton was elected captain of the heavyweight football team, and some of the out- standing stars were: Colville, Moulton, Sears, Hajek, Peterson, Rusich, Sachs, Arbir, Kord- siemon, and Hauer. On the heavyweight basket- ball team the class was represented by Fencl, captain, and a basketball player for four years, Poirazil, Barron, Hajek, Kobza, Peterson, and Hauer. The lightweight team has Captain Hall, Fillmore, Kordsiemon, and Tlusty. Kobza, a Nell F. Bartels Glen A. Lee left handed pitcher, will be the captain of the baseball team. Fencl and Peterson will return as veterans to play on this team. The swimming team is represented by Tucker, McDonald, Stolfa and Jaburek. The class of '28 also has a num- ber of good track men, including Hostetter, Walton, Colville, Peterson, Murray, and Stuchal. The girls have also taken an active part in ath- letics. Intramural championships have b e e n won during the four years at J. S. M. which have distinguished them as an active group. Eleanor Hall, Evelyn Brodin, Ethel Petrina, Annette Smith, Eleanor Suchy, Clarice Parkhurst, and Helen Wolfe are the outstanding figures in this line. Many of the seniors have been publishing the weekly news in the MORTONIAN. This paper, we are proud to say, has advanced considerably in size while in the hands of this class. We have also had charge of the preparing ofthe copy of this annual. We leave this record of our four years at Mor- ton behind us, so that we may long be remem- bered. Now we must leave this school forever. Goodbye, Morton! 1
