With almost a feeling of trepidation the class of '28 entered the portals of Liberty High School as twenty-three Freshmen. The class motto sounded a challenge for lofty ideals and tenacity of purpose which we accepted as a goal for literary, scholastic, social and physical develop- ment. - The various instructors from year to year have been unfailingly kind and helpful in assisting us to attain our final fixed purpose. As Freshmen we had several members in the school Operetta. Honors in the Short Story Inter-class Contest were carried off by Helen Skaggs, who also placed in the County Literary Contest, and second in De- claiming was taken by Blanche Goistg we kept up our usual daily class room efficiency: and contributed two members each to basketball and football teams. As Sophomores our personnel had changed somewhat, yet the spirit of the class was undaunted. Our girls starred in athletics with Olive Harker and Velma King
