JUNIOR CLASS HISTORY Fourteen freshmen entered Center High Schoo] in the fall of nineteen hundred twenty-seven in an attempt to further their education. This class consisted of five girls and nine boys. Our teachers who were selected that year were Mr. and Mrs. Osborn and Mrs. Hanson. Of course we were green freshmen, but we didn’t care for all freshmen are known to be green. The next year, however, the number of members in our class. was diminished. Marvle Palmer had gone West for her health, and Lyle Yoder had also left us. Verda Gingerich was with us only the first semester. Lloyd Bender, who had been a previous member also left us, diminishing our class to the number of ten, but our loss was lessened somewhat when Earl Amelon joined us. That year we had only two teachers, namely: Mr. and Mrs. Osborn. With the help of the freshmen, we presented a Freshman-Sophomore play known as “A Perplexing Situation” which proved to be a success. ; In the year of nineteen hundred and twenty-nine and nineteen hundred and thirty, the class was enlarged to the number of eleven. Lloyd Bender again returned and joined the class of gay, young juniors. Martha Swartzendruber, who had started her high school work in Goshen College, also joined our class. Earl Amelon left us about the middle of the term. A new instructor was chosen, namely: Miss Krueger, and with the help of Mr. and Mrs. Osborn we tried to do our work well.

H. S. as Freshmen. There were six members in our class, namely: Leota Yoder, Eunice Reber, Arline Patterson, Laverna Robertson, Chase Millice, and Lois McKray. Our first teachers were Mr. and Mrs. Osborn, to whom we went with all our difficulties and problems. In the month of December we, with the assistance of the Sophomore class gave a play entitled “A Perplexing Situation” and a pantomime entitled “And the Lamp Went Out.” Soon after the beginning of the first semester we were disappointed to lose one of our classmates, Leota Yoder, who moved to Mississippi where she is now attending school. We closed the year by taking a trip to Muscatine, lowa. Vacation having ended we re-entered the doors of Center High School as Sopho- mores. We all returned with the exception of Arline Pat terson, who decided to attend Wellman Figh School. We were glad to know we were to have Marvle Palmer with us this year. Under the guidance of our teachers, Mr. Osborn, Mrs. Osborn, and Miss Krueger, we have progressed successfully. Soon after school began, Eunice Reber left us and at the end of the first semester Chase Millice moved to Wellman. Late in the fall the Freshmen and we, the Sophomores, presented the play, “Waiting for the Trolley.” 1b Wy Sey
