HI-TIMES Senior Class History It is fitting that the Freshmen, Sophomores, Juniors, and Faculty he acquainted with the worthy character and achievements of the class of ’29, which has succeeded in meeting the requirements laid down for its four years’ course. Seventy of us entered as Freshmen, on September 6, 1925. Our room teachers were: Miss McConnel and Miss Deholt, under whose leadership we held our first class meeting, electing Mildred Ringer for President; Viola Adams, V’ice President, and Robert Robison, Secretary-T reasurer. The first sociable event was a very successful Hallowe’en party at Mildred McWhir-ter’s. In mid-winter we broke the monotony with a sleighing party to Grove City. The last and most exciting part of our social events as Freshmen, was a picnic at Cascade Park the last day of school. When we became Sophomores our number decreased to fifty-one members. Our new officers for the year were: President, Carl Redmond: Vice President, Frank Byers; Secretary and Treasurer, Lois Stewart. Black and Orange were chosen as our class colors. The business being finished, we were ready for pleasure, and started with a delightful class party at Stewart’s. The next was a party at Louis McCullough’s, where we had an equally good time—after we got there! In January we had another sled load to Grove City which caused many tardy marks the next day. Everything did not go so smoothly this year for in the midst of these happy times we were deeply saddened by the death of a classmate, Thomas Urey. The Class of ’27 introduced the Student Council, and being a progressive class, we voted in its favor and elected Richard Vath as our class representative. The closing event of the term was the usual last day picnic at Conneaut Lake Park The first few days of our Junior year were spent in choosing our class rings; and after waiting a few weeks they finally arrived. The Faculty will remember this event for the excessive talking we did. We enjoyed three parties. They were: A Hallowe’en party at Milhurn Grange Hall, Hallowe’en party at Evelyn Rinamon’s, and a general Class party at Mildred McWhirter’s. About the last of March the Interclass Basketball Tournament was played between the Juniors and Sophomores. We were instantly alert for here was a chance to win fame and also the Chamber of Commerce Cup. We won! The five who skillfully carried us to victory were: Charles Williams, Andrew Masson, Frank Byers, Donald McCracken, and Louis McCullough. This silver cup, decorated with, our class colors (which we changed to red and white), filled us with pride and spurred us on to a greater effort in the coming Junior and Senior Banquet, which proved to be a great success. At last we have become Seniors and are working vigorously to make this, our edition of the Hi-Times ,a success. We now realize better than ever that Mercer High is a great promoter of companionship and it is for this reason that—though we have made graduation our goal—we sometimes think of it sadlv.
