The honor came to us as a gift from the gods and we're surprised ourselves. But we hope that fate will continue to smile on us. The smallest member of our group is Ida Diehl. Wliat this spritely young lady lacks in size, she makes up in spirit. She was a priceless asset to the basketball team. Yes Ida has many charms as her long string of hearts will testify. Blaine Keesey is OUI' boom-boom man. He practices for the wild western movies that some day he will undoubtedly star in. Alberta llfliller is our conversationalist. She indulges in tried and true phrases such as Not much! And how! and I don't mean maybe . Betty Thompson is our belle of the ball . She dances like a dream and sings like another. George Brewer is the living example of that saying And still the wonder grew that one 'small head could carry all he knew . Edward lVIcCann is another worthy person. Such a quiet chap must have great thoughts that will bring fame to the future. H I Then comes the gem of the class, Harrison Tubbs Voorhees. He plays in the orchestra and all know and love him. Yes, yes we're the sophomores and watch our thunder. Some day you'll be proud to say you were acquainted with such people of note. lXIary Bailey George Brewer Ida Diehl Blain Keesey Edward lNIcCann Betty Thompson Alberta Nliller Harrison Tubbs Voorhees Thirty

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

fa Ulbe :First year Iaff Hay there what's your hurry ?', Don't forget us! Lets get acquainted. VVe, the Freshmen, are the spice-the pepper, salt and vinegar of our illustrous Alma lNIater. VVe may be young, tender and green but we show much promise and some day will surprise you all with our great achievements. His Honor, lVIr. Potter, is the lord of our domain and provides the scenery. YVe can't wait 'til we see' him in a nice shiny white coat as head waiter at the Ritz. Ma1'jo1'ie Tuttle upholds our reputation for brilliance besides having that peach and cream loveliness poets rave about. Joyce Voorhees is the vamp of this class of '31, and those eyes of hers were made for star-lit nights. Gretchen Brate is our bulletin board. She always has a bit of spicy news. Other celebrities of the day are: Elsie Bauer whose giggle is known to all. Robert lVIoore, the lad with the nifty bob, Tony the flower boy, Clara, the Hirt, Harry Humphries, the Ancient History fiend, and the two others are, Bobs and Lois, the chatty maidens. , Such a noble band as this cannot help but make a mark in the world-mayhap a dent. Starkey will inevitably be proud of us in the future since we have made such a marvelous start.
