I , -A Lb'-4 Qing 221.2 51 Twenty-eight Qllama mem Here on the ship of life we stand Looking out oyer the sea of fate- Armed with hope, 'tis a noble band- Our Class of Twenty-eight. Our shields and bucklers are youth and strength, And we gaze with a fearless eye At thc rough sea's sweep and the awesome deep And the turbulent waves dashed high. However the breakers may! heave and roll Fraught with danger and care, Our valient crew will conquer them all And laugh at the villain Despair. lVild tempests and breakers, wind and wave, May seek to swamp our faith, But our strength and hope will weather the storm, He whom we trust will keep us safe. VVe hesitate not to disembark, We are not afraid of the shoalsg Our eagerness swells to be off to the sea And nothing can daunt our souls. We're riding out on the ship of life, Looking far o'er the sea of fate, And we'll see success ride in on the tide To our Class of Twenty-eight. -Hlariettzz F. Illould

fr Q i , 'Nii X'-XZ 4 f O mm, QM ,Tl '-'11-I - - 7 Z Betty Crissey arrived on the scene about this time. She never misses a game, they told nie. The coach likes to have someone to discuss the game intelligently with him. Betty, too, has made a place for herself as athletic instructor in an Eastern woman's college. We remember Betty's pluck and grit as dating back to the days when, during vacations, she used to ride her father's mule. This evening, I went to a recital at Carnegie. Even before the noted young pianist struck her first chord, we all knew that the debut of Alice Lorraine Voorhees would be the greatest in many seasons. The personality and appearance, as well as the immense success of a couple of popular pieces, would assure that. VVhen I first caught a glimpse of her, that tall dark haired lady in the flame colored dress, I was almost afraid to send the message I had for her. But I did, and after that great performance, she smiled over at me. Yet, that girl will go far! It must be admitted, too, that advertising helps a lot. With Paul VVarner, famous commercial artist, to manage her publicity, she ought to climb to the very top. Paul is still to be found near Allie-the handsome pair left together. I noticed them just before I returned home. lily lucky day is over. VVith many like it, it won't be long now before you may become a star reported, Edith G. De Ryder, and win some fame for yourself instead of just writing about other people's. Tzvmzty-sezfe1z

gifff'-3 It Ulhirh Hear Gllaaa Over the rocky roads of first and second year high we have valiantly struggled and now at last we have won the distinction of dignified juniors. VVe are justly proud of our achievements, and look forward toward accomplishing greater things. Wheii our turn comes to don our pinching piltellt leathers and limp with painful happi- ness up on the platform of the temple to give our hard learned orations to an audi- ence which can little appreciate the agonizing work spent to produce them, fthe orations-not the audiencej we shall justly merit the glorified honor of being the solemn seniors of 1929. All truly marvelous phenomena owe their origin to small beginnings. Thus our class first started forth with Thelma Lowe, soul comforter and Mellin's prize baby, Robert Beatty, who is noted for his incredible feats as a contortionist, Marjorie Morris, sweet nymph whose laughter charms all, Harold Corwith, noted heart breaker and court jester, and last but not least, Lewis Radley, fickle shiek. The second year, the cradle roll was enlarged to include Jean Honsberger, true Helen of Troy, Burton Davis, woman hater with exceptions, and Rodman Robinson, diamond in the rough. . In this, the third year, the gods sent a gift to Jean in the form of Harry Bonner, Frederick Crissey also joined the ranks of the mighty. , Even at this stage in our career, we command respect from our elders and betters, the seniors. We proudly claim six stalwart men on the footall squad and four on the 'basketball court. Our prowess in baseball remains to be shown. We modestly admit that half the cntrancing strains produced by Sutphen's Syncopatorsn are brought forth by the able representatives of our versatile crew. Yes, we as a class feel the satisfaction that comes from work well done. What teacher can say that we have not always been the darlings of our classes? Who can hope to equal the intelligent and eager replies made by' Buddy and llflarjorie in Latin class? We all know that Jean is irresistable to Prof. Travis in English- Sh-h-h-hl It is rumored that Amy runs close second. Who can deny that the apple of Prof. Allen's eye is Beatty in Physics, while Bonner runs off with the prizes in geometry: Yez! Hez! We recognize our slumgullian. We do not wish to take up too much of your time, dear reader, but we wish to impress upon you the fact that from this junior class, celebrities will some day immerge. We are Amy Bailey Harold Corwith Jean Honsberger Frederick Crissey Thelma Lowe Burton Davis Nlarjorie Morris Lewis Radley Robert Beatty Rodman Robinson Harry Bonner Harold Van Orsdale Twenty-nine
