Tgza TATLER 0112155 lliztnrg A stupendous history I--that of the class of 1928, whose members range in height from four feet, to six feet six inches, our shortest being the Crydermans and our tallest Charles Guyett. Let us look into the diary of our fairy-Godmother, who dwells in a beautiful northern star and who was given charge of us ill September 1924. Vile numbered tl1e11 about fifty and did not fully realize what a brillia11t group we would prove to be-tespecially to the poor facultyl -during our four years in this hall of learning. But, to return to tl1e diary-I am afraid our fairy-Godmother was too busy protecting us from those ogres, called upper elassmen, to make much record of our proceedings, and surely we needed someone's protection. In any case, we remember our freshmen sensations very well without the help of written records. One thing we remember is that Mr. Martin took up his duties as Principal in September, 1924, and he has been our best helper Zilltl adviser during our four years of high school. He is leaving M. H.

We must have been an encouraging outlook for him, when he first viewed us in study hall or somewhere ill tl1e corridor, looking and feel- ing as fresh as freshmen can feel! For a while we fairly glowed with superiority, especially to the seventh and eighth grades, but this soon ended! We were very devoted to the juniors and seniors, but for the sophomores we had no special affection-for tl1e simple reason that too often they made the fact evident to us and to the very observing world 3l'01111Cl us that we were freshmen. In our sophomore year we became organized as a class. Our offi- cers were: President, Ruth Green, vice-president, Lorne Pruner, secre- tary and treasurer, Geraldine Gooshaw. XVe also managed two or three parties that the juniors and seniors, and even the sophomores, deigned to attend. In that year we found our class enrollment smaller and in our junior year even smaller, and we knew that three of our original members had been married! Many people had moved into other towns and other schools or had found it necessary to leave high school. The class officers of our junior year were: President, Beulah Hessg vice-president, Flvelyn Blanchetteg secretary, Lenora Dutton, a11d treas- Twenty-five
