Seniors PRESIDENT - GORDON SWARTZ VICE PRESIDENT NORMAN PYLE SECRETARY - DOROTHY HIGGINS TREASURER - DOROTHY MCELROY History of the Class of '33 The history of that noted class of '33 began one late summer morning in September, 1921. In 1927 we began our career in the Grammar school. We pre- sented as our operetta Christina of Greenland. On May 29, 1929, we received our diplomas which entitled us to the four best years of our life . . . high school. OII Tuesday after Labor day in 1929 we entered high school, to be taunted by those upperclassmen. We made a big showing in football and basketball. Our girls' basketball team won the Girls' Intra-mural Tournament with Betty Holycross as captain. Roxy Jones was our president, through his efforts the Freshman class had a weiner roast. During our Sophomore year we chose Virginia Hill to guide us. Everyone remembers that famous play Grandmother Pulls the String , in which Burt Harrison played the Grandmother. We have a dance and what fun! Even the teachers enjoyed themselves. Our Junior year was next to the greatest year of our high school life. We gave the comedy Come Out of the Kitchen as our junior play which was successfully portrayed by our dramatic classmates. To climax our Junior year we gave the best Junior-Senior Prom., under the supervision of our president Gerald Pfister, that any class ever gave. 0ur Senior year-at last we're here after four long years of hard work. At the beginning of the year we elected Gordon Swartz for our president. Our first enterprise was the winning stunt of the High School Hallowe'en Party. We enlarged our class by the entrance of Tom Weaver, a great piano player. We sponsored the Christmas chapel and you'll have to admit Joe Wagner is a very good Santy Claus. Our Senior play was the best show our class ever gave. It's over. Baccalaureate was held May 21, and Graduation May 24. High School, you were a great comrade for four years, but we must leave you and go on. Goodbye, and give our best regards to your future Senior Classes. Mary Kay Brown Page Twelve

Upperclassmen 19555E5EEE5EiE5EEEFfiE'5il35EEEHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE HWHEN the earliest settlers entered Hardin County, it was densely covered by timber, while vast numbers of deer and other game roamed through the forests. From the undulating surface of the country, the red hunters of the Wyandots, Ottawas, and Shawnees made it a favorite resort during' the hunting season. The fur traders had many stations for the purchase of pelts. They were also responsible for the naming of several small streams throughout the countyf
