1927 Class History lmost four years ago quite a large group of freshmen, the present seniors, first came to Paly High. When they were organized and became known as the fresh' man class, Kirk Miles, who at present is the commissioner of finance, was elected president. The freshman party was an elaborate affair at which the yearly track meet was staged under the supervision of Mr. Mercer. As sophomores, the class of '27 had the unusual distinction of being the only class ever governed entirely by girls. Margaret Keifer was the president, Sylvia Truax, vice' president, and Dorothy Vaughn, the present commissioner of literary activities, secretary' treasurer. In their junior year more students participated in activities. However, as this interest grew, studies did not suffer and it was during this year that the number of juniors who were enrolled in the California Scholarship Federation was a close second to the number of 1926 seniors. In their junior year such names as Alexander McGilvray, Graham McFeely, Maxwell Springer, and Herbert Lyell were popular in the football field, while Gordon Alexander won distinction in swimming and Harry Plymire in tennis. The junior carnival stunt, the ‘'bughouse,” was one of those which made the carnival a success. The junior' senior dance, which deserved and won much praise, was a delightful affair. The class contains many scholars, several of whom will not only receive a gold seal for scholarship on their diplomas but also a silver seal for participation in the various school activities. The junior athletes won added laurels in their senior year, and to the list must? be added the names of Park Wisdom and John Saich, who distinguished themselves in basket' ball, and Jack Dudfield in football. The senior class officers are Park Wisdom, president; Manuel Espinosa, vice'president; Elizabeth Fisher, secretary; Grosvenor Cooper, treasurer; and Guy Barker, senior court custodian. II
