CLASS HISTORY OF 1930 On September 4. 1926, one hundred and eighty Freshmen crowded them- selves into the curricular life of their superiors . They successfully placed five of their number on the football squad, one on the basketball team, and five on a championship baseball team. Due to scholastic merit five students were found on the Annual Honor Roll. This class was especially honored by being the only Freshman class even to this year to have one of its members. Elinor Baur. chosen as first maid of honor to the Annual Queen at the time of the last May Fete at Maplewood. As Sophomores this group contributed four football candidates; two mem- bers for the Annual Staff: seven scholars for the Honor Roll: and its second Annual Queen Attendant. Jewel MacBryde. To start the successful 1928-1929 year. Les Harrison began his splendid management as Editor-in-Chief of the Chip; three Juniors composed the strength of a superior debating team: several leads in Pocahontas were given to Juniors; Viola Swanson was chosen Annual Queen: and athletic teams de- manded their share of third year sportsmen. As this large class gradually decreased in number and increased in scholastic experience it soon entered the last lap . Captain Beeley and two Senior letter- men led the football squad; Ker. Reinecke. and Kasper upheld their group in basketball; and four regulars were found on the baseball squad. The Seniors can boast of furnishing the entire debate team with four of its most intelligent men who brought, besides medals and two cups, the greatest honor Maplewood ever received through a team. Remember the names of Captain Stokely Westcott. Maurice Barrett and George Lee! The class of 1930 produced an outstanding Senior Play and shattered the bonds of tradition by having the Annual Queen chosen from its midst. Evelyn McGregor was crowned in a gorgeous ceremony at the memorable Junior- Senior Prom. In the executive line Maurice Barrett must be congratulated for his efficient leadership in the production of this volume. Three other Seniors. Elinor Baur. Charlotte Keehne and Russell Ferguson, are presidents of four of the most im- portant organizations in the school. Not only have the above students done untiring work as leaders, but every other Senior has finished his duties as a good follower in numerous occasions offered throughout High School life. With such a record, sixty-two students of the original one hundred and eighty Freshmen have decided that they have outgrown the life of the past four years and must depart reluctantly from the realms of the Blue and the White in search of more foreign knowledge.
