The class of 1929 has the distinction of being the first senior class to attend school in the new building. In September, 1925, the class came to Klamath County High School as freshmen, numbering about one hundred and thirty-five. The members were supposed to be green, and they were, but that did not prevent them from making the rest of the school realize that they were there. Remarks were heard at various times and places that theirs was the peppiest freshman class that Klamath High had ever seen. The freshman bonfire was bigger and better than any of those before, in spite of the fact that the sophomores burned up all the first lot of fuel the night before the proper time. In their sophomore year the good record was continued. In the form of a Christmas party a very successful entertainment was put on for the purpose of raising money. As a result the class had a sum of money in the treasury at the beginning of its junior year. As juniors they again came to the front. The first triumph was the winning of the Student Body Ticket sale, in which they went over one hundred per cent, in the May Queen Contest they came within sixty votes of tying with the seniors for first place; In fact, the juniors had the seniors very much worried. In the Student Body play the class was well represented, as it was in all other activities. The next thing was the Junior Carnival, which everyone agrees went over “big.” In athletics the girls won the interclass basketball championship. To prove that tne class was not lacking in scholarship it kept the Honor Pennant and King Sol-oman much of the time. Near the end of the year instead of having the annual Junior-Senior picnic it gave a formal Junior Prom, which the seniors said was an enjoyable affair. At the climax of the junior year the class gained the title of the peppiest class in school and a whole holiday by winning the Grand Contest. This year the class started out with a bang, going over one hundred and three per cent in the Student Body Ticket sale and winning the May Queen contest by a large margin. Points for the Grand Contest were also gained by winning the interclass debate, the girls’ interclass basketball championship, and the ticket sale for the Student Body play, “Stop Thief!” The class was well represented in this play, the leading lady as well as several other members of the east being seniors. Ten of the men receiving first team football “K's” and all but one man on the first basketball team receiving “K’s” were members of the class of 1929. Repeating its junior record, it again kept the Honor Pennant and King Soloman most of the time. The senior play, “The Patsy,” was well received, Helen Mason and Harold Robertson having the leading roles. Again the class won the Grand Contest, gaining a full holiday and the distinction of being the peppiest class in school.
