Class Histnr In September, of the year 1929, a group of noisy, yet bewildered, young- sters eyed each other suspiciously in Miss Skilling's Kindergarten. Since that time numerous strong and everlasting friendships have come into existence. After seven years of labor, we found ourselves graduating from Miss Grace Williams' sixth grade into the foreboding Grove Street High School. The greater part of our seventh grade was taken up in adjusting ourselves to the new routine of high school life. The first recognition gained by any member of our class was received by Peg Casey and Fred Iackson when they came through with flying colors in the annual 8th grade spelling contest. Our reign of terror started immediately upon entering Mr. Margison's Freshman room! The first achievement was our questionably wise selection of officers. President, Gordon Stafford, Vice-President, Tom Burney, Treasurer, Kenneth Lawton, Secretary, Catherine Cunningham. We there gained the intense hatred of the Seniors by selling very novel basketball pencils as a source of revenue. The reason for their dislike was that the Seniors in the superiority should have complete control of the financial undertakings of the school. The major accomplishment of the year was the Freshman Frolic held for the first time by any Freshman Class. We started our Sophomore Year under Mr. MacAllister. When the class club was organized, under the name of Prof's Sophs, the following officers were elected: President, Leon Shedd, Vice-President, Billy Lee, Secretary, Alice McVeigh, Treasurer, Betty Vrooman. One more achievement of the year was the Sophomore Soiree held at the Harmony Grange. It was with dismay that Miss Murray looked upon us at the beginning of our Iunior year. Needless to say, our fame f'?l had spread. At the close of the first ten weeks the following officers were elected: President, Leon Shedd, Secretary, Connie Smith, Vice-President, Bette Gleed, Treasurer, Art Bubb. We regret that we were the first class of many years to fail in giving the Seniors a prom. A good point of the year was our Class Play, Dulcy, which was a tremendous success. Our class met for the last year in the Senior room under the guidance of Miss Weeks. You Can't Take lt With You was presented by the Seniors this year and declared by Mr. Rankin as the best play ever produced since he has been here. The following officers were elected to carry us through our school life: President, Ken Hubbard, Vice-President, Art Bubb, Secretary, Dot Eberlein, Treasurer, Agnes Myers. This concludes the high points in our lives since entering Kindergarten. ln spite of numerous trials and tribulations, it is with no regret, whatsoever, that we look back upon our school career. -A' 21 ir
