Shalt CLASS HISTORY 1927 is a memorable date in the History of Natural iit Bridge High School, for in September of that year the . present Senicr Class entered this institution of learn- | ing. Few who: looked on that day realized that they were looking upon the most illustrious class ever to enter these honored portals, but as time went on even the wise teachers began to realize that this was a most un- usual group and they began to knit their brows. . | Of these twenty boys and girls only three - Evelyn . Armentrout, Louise Powell and Edna Leech remain as rel- ies of this ncient period. Others have joined us from time to time, until now there are sixteen ef us in all.

We.thought that we were the world's wisest and most il- lustrious Sophomores and loudly did we crow. Kenneth Clatterbaugh joined our ranks that year. Much wiser and more subdued we now entered upon our Junior year. Marie Miller, Catherine Reed and Thelma Perkins joined us in this year. By this time we had won the respect and good will of the entire student body and faculty, for all realized that we were making ‘History’ for Natural Bridge High School and withal we were young and tender in those days. What wonder then that None knew us but to love us, none named us but to i praise ? But lo! another year is dawning bright and dear, at ¥ last we are Seniors. But what has happened anyway?
