On the morn- ing of September the twelfth, our upper classmen had the pleasure of introducing us to our posts which we were to command during the year. As our company was green we were shunned by our upper classmates but under the kind leadership of our sponsor, Miss Hiatt, we lived to tell the tale to the Freshmen who relieved us of our post the following year. As the other classes in our high school had oflicers we decided to have our first class meeting. We chpse the following oiiicers for our first year: President, Ethel Adams, Vice President, Chester Bakerg Secretary-Treasurer, Herman Hankins. We enjoyed many parties and many good times among ourselves. The most wonderful of these parties were the ones held at A11na Mae Cooper's, the one at Alfred Ebbert's home and the one the Sophomores gave us in the gymnasium' on I-Iallowe'en night. Upon entering our Sophomore year we were unfortunate in losing six of our class- mates but in return we gained three others, namely, Florence Lovett, Leonard Markle and Glen Ebbert. This year we were more interested in school activities such as plays, orchestra, basketball, and glee clubs. While in our Sophomore year we surprised the entire student body by winning the first class tournament in the history of our school. As a result of our victory over the Seniors in the final game, the Sophomore and Junior girls rewarded us with a splendid banquet which was held in our school gym. Our class ofiicers for our Sophomore year were, President, Ethel Adamsg Vice President, Anna Mae Cooper, Secretary-Treasurer, Virginia Lewis. This year we came back with the old time high school spirit and a force of seven- teen members, having lost two members from last year's class, This year we have been fighting a winning battle with a certain Mr. Vergi1 under Miss Pearson and as we came into the school with a fighting spirit, we will retire with the spoils of the victor, a credit in another year's work of Latin. iVe have a large number of our class mem- bers 1'epresented in basketball and other school affairs, and we can now truthfully say that this Junior Glass has done its part in helping out the school for the year of 1927. Under the management of our teachers, Mr. Noland, Mr. Ewing, Miss Pearson, Miss Stohler, and Mrs. McCarty, we have enjoyed the most successful year of our high school-career. Our class oflicials for this year are: President, Glen Ebbertg Vice Pres- ' ident, Velma Bondg Treasurer, Howard Gale, Secretary, Myron Mitchell. This year we have had only one party, held at the home Class Colors: Scarlet and white. Class Motto: Where there is a will there : E E .

We were about to undertake a new journey for ns, one which we had never made before and did not know anything about. It seemed that the upper classmen shunned us all the time and called us green. We thought we knew a great deal until Latin and Algebra soon convinced us we were mis- taken. We were patiently guided over the rough. roads of knowledge by Mr. Noland, Mr. Ewing, Miss Williams, and Mrs. McCarty. An occasional lecture by Miss Williams improved us. As all the other classes were having class meetings We thought we should be allowed the same privilege and so at our iirst meeting we elected Maurice Conner, as president, and Lucy Wilkinson, as our treasurer. We did not have many class meet- ings. The Sophomores gave a party for us at the High School gym Hallowe'en. Another party was enjoyed at the home of Glen Johnsonq We will never forget the party for the whole high school held at George E'arley's. We were very sorry to lose James Crosthwaite and Willis Pendergrass before the close of the term. We took an interest in the school's minstrel show which was a suc- cess. After all basket ball games were over and everything else had passed, the high school had a class tournament in which all classes were represented. We showed up good in this but were beaten by the Sophornores, who won the tournament. We were glad to see school end, and we felt successful in our first high school year. When September, 1926, came we ceased to be green Freshmen and took the honor- able name of Sophomores. We knew how the Freshmen felt and did not tease them. We felt bigger and better and under the leadership of Mr. Noland, Mr. Ewing, Miss Pearson, Miss Stohler, and Mrs. McCarty, we started our second year in our dear old high school. We, at once, began to plan for a better year, better and more class meet- ings, and more parties: but, alas, we have so far failed i11 our endeavors. Our oflicers were elected again and this time Eugene Cole gained the title of president, Oliver Walters, secretary, and Maurice Conner, treasurer. This seemed to be a class for boys only, as all oflicers were boys, and none of the girls attended our party at Warren Ad- dison's. We gave the Freshmen a party at the High School gym on Hallowe'en as is the custom, but when they found out we were going to initiate them there were not -many there. We were unfortunate in losing Arthur Odell early in the term, but we gained John Guenther, a jolly good fellow, hailing from Middletown. The class is very proud of their two great athletes, Eugene Cole and Carson Smith, who are both on the first team. We also have a fine actor, Donald Dudley, who took a part in this year's min- strel show as did almost all of the class. We hope to win this year's class tournament and our chances are good.
