+---- TI I - T I M E S HISTORY OF CLASS OF ’30 We entered Mercer High School in nineteen twenty-six with a class of fifty-four, but the original number has diminished to thirty-nine. However, we hope that what we have lost in number we have gained in quality. The first few months of our freshmen year we were very timid, but we soon overcame this and took an active part in literary and athletic activities. That year we were the champions of the inter-class basket ball. We had a few social functions the first year, a Hallowe'en Party at the home of Emory Johnson, a sled load to Grove City, and a class picnic at Cascade Park. We elected our officers, Kitty Whieldon. President; William Albert, Vice-President; Harry Black. Secretary and Treasurer. Soon after we entered our sophomore year we elected Harry Black, President; Waid Patterson, Vice-President; and Mary Bell Duncan, Secretary and Treasurer. Our members not only took part in literary and athletic activities, but we were well represented in the orchestra. During the year to break the monotony we held a party at the home of Harry Black, and at the end of our school term we held a picnic at Cascade Park. In the fall of nineteen twenty-eight we entered as juniors.. Our first task was the choosing of our class rings. That year we took a leading part in literary work. We once again received the Chamber of Commerce Cup as the champions of inter-class basket hall. The great event of the year was the Junior and Senior Banquet, which we all enjoyed very much. As dignified seniors we entered the high school in nineteen twenty-nine. Our grave faces expressed our feeling of responsibility. This year we were met by our new Principal. Professor Pollard. We as seniors have greatly enjoyed the new auditorium and it has been a great aid to us both for our basket ball and literary teams. Our boys have well represented us on our football and basketball teams. The first part of the year we all enjoyed a delightful party held at the home of Julia and Bill Richardson. The past four years have gone by with dreatu-like rapidity. They have been years of work and pleasure, of re-adjustment both of ideals and ambitions. We all hope to carry out these ambitions and ideals to the best of our abilities. + Fourteen MARTHA HUEY VIRGINIA BROWN
