Junior Class History Amidst cheers, good wishes, and much handkerchief wav- ing, the good ship '28 set sail on October 1924 from the small port Grammarschool. The port of Commencement seemed far off, for the great stretch of high school sea separated the two harbors. The turbulent dangerous character of these waters is well known. Spirits of the passengers were high until squalls and heavy seas were encountered in the latitude of Algebra 1 and Latin 1. Thus mal de mer claimed its usual victims; some, discouraged over this first encounter with the contrary winds of education, had to be put ashore at semester ports of call, and sailed with us no more. However, most of the passengers are still to- gether. When spirits ran low, the thoughts of another vaca- tion port is stimulating. There have been pleasant companionships and liberal diver- sions during the crossing. Of those who lived thru the first days and developed reliable sea legs, many have become dis- tinguished members of the orchestra or band; participants in inter-class debates, actors in plays, student body officers, or members of the staff. The athletic achievements of our men are so well known that we may modestly leave their praise to others. As to the women—see them, lithe and graceful on the tennis court, or satin-slippered and filmy gowned, delighting their audience in the Junior Play! These gallant, athletic men, these modern, alert women are helping to make enviable his- tory for the '28! Bless Her! MATHILDA SCHLICTER. — 3m Twenty-nine
