 Class History Perhaps some of you remember the Class of ’26 was the first to successfully edit an Annual. It was very auspicious to note that in the Will” the Verdant Freshies” were bequeathed nothing more sarcastic than the best wishes of the Seniors for in their estimation, were we to continue our present success, we would rise to fame similar to that of Julius Caesar and the Duke of Wellington. And my friends we are a Ver’ry remarkable Class.” To delve back in the Dark Ages—in our Freshman year we were the largest class ever to enroll. We were exceedingly meek creatures and astounded every one by winning the Class Rush. In fact the class of ’28 never got over it! Our Inter-Class Boys’ team won all but one game; we took part in the Glee Club Minstrel Show and Public Speaking Contests. So we passed on to our second year well content with the applause of the multitudes. On September 21st of the following year the Class organized with John Roberts and Miss Pacholke as President and Sponsor. We started our hale and hearty and won this year’s Class Rush. We have so many famous athletes and their doing are so numerous it might be well to begin to enumerate their activities right now. In his Freshman year, Roberts won a basketball and football letter. This year both Roberts and Bentley took basketball and football letters and John had the additional honor of being presented with the Leland Baird Memorial Cup. Others of our class were represented on our football and basketball teams. We won a state contest in Declamation and had an active member on the debate squad. And so another school year closed. The next year Jim Bentley, a popular student, was elected president and M iss Lindsey, sponsor. John Roberts led the varsity basketball team, as well as partaking in football and track. Jim Bentley skipped lightly betw'een athletics and junior play practice. The Whole Town’s Talking” was wisely selected and ably directed by Miss Lindsey and the class is grateful to the entire cast as well as to the ticket, program and advertising committees. The play was even more successful than the preceding year and one of the most unique J-Hops was the reward of the Juniors. Here aga.n the whole class is to be complimented on its cooperation and Mr. Taylor especially for his capable management of the astounding number of details connected with it. Some of our members were interested in oratory and debating and others took up glee club, orchestra and band work; some of the participants going beyond local prominence and winning honors in district and state. We Juniors furnished a Student Council President as well as slinging out a few athletes for mythical tournament teams all over the state. We kept the Leland Baird Cup in our midst, other classes being unable to wrest it from our favored hands. Athleticly and Scholasticiy, we were Rah! Rah! Rah!—but Socially we were wrecks. The Senior officer election was identical with that of last year's but Mr. Beach was gladly welcomed as sponsor. At a January class meeting the Annual Staff members were elected, the class realizing the time and work which must be spent to produce an Annual worthy of our aspirations. PAGE TWENTY-EIGHT
