Class History N September, 1929, we left behind us the green fields of the Freshman Class and entered upon our first lap of Senior High life. Our motto, HBe Square? and the class colors, yellow and white, have been with us through our high school career. In our Sophomore year we chose NIr. OiNeill as our sponsor and George Balch as president of the Class. That year one of our members, Guy Pellet, was well on his way to stardom as a football player. Mary Dunn, Leo Graham and Kathleen Summerlin proved able players on the girlsy basket-ball team. A goodly number of our class took part in the Operetta, HMiss Cherryblossom, and also made their first trip to Tampa. As Juniors we began to take our rightful place in the life of Senior High, and we again chose George Balch as our president, with Mrs. Ellen McKee Black as sponsor. Among our classmates that Were successful in the field of athletics were Stanley Taylor, Kenneth Markham and Charles Hollis. We were very proud of the excellent work done by our members of the Glee Club in the HBelle of Barcelona and the successful outcome of the trip to Tampa. During our Senior year we were fortunate to again have Mrs. Ellen McKee Black as sponsor, with Joe Blanchard as president. This year Kathleen Summerlin led the girls, basket-ball team to many victories, and we were equally proud of Joe Blanchard and Guy Pellet, our stars on the football field, as well as the other members of our class who were of much value in our school athletics. Several of our Seniors, among them Eileen Purcell, Virginia Kee and Joe Blanchard, took leads in the Operetta, iiIn Old Vienna? as well as a large number taking part in the choruses, And so, thus ends the history of the Class 0f ,32.
