The Madrono 1 f OIUIQ 71555 l I QMSS Ill TOE Nearly four years ago, the balcony of the auditorium was filled with a class of awe- inspired freshmen, who, because of their forging spirit and fine ability along all lines of endeavor, as well as because of the passage of time, have become an awe-inspiring class of seniors, occupying the seats of honor in the very front of the auditorium. The class of 1928 soon organized itself into a working unit by electing a group of olhcers with joseph Ethen at the head. Under Mr. Mercer's supervision the all-star track meet was a grand championship at the freshman party. Many of the outstanding members of this class began to distinguish themselves early in their high school careers. jack Schutte and joe Ethen were already well-known as athletes in the sophomore year of the class when Harold Small was the president. At the end of their period of being lower classmen, the class of 1928 became enter- prising juniors and made their influence felt in still more fields. jack Schutte and joe Ethen were still prominent in basketball and football, with the addition of Buck Weller and jerry Parks, while Carl Wilson as a swimmer and Bill Sumner as a tennis star were worthy of note. The class also won distinction from a number of its members who began to be counted in literary, dramatic, and the other artistic fields. William Palmer was the junior president. As seniors, besides becoming more efiicient in all the previously mentioned activi- ties, the members of the present graduation class have tried to maintain an attitude befitting their position. No less in scholarship than in activities have seniors been worthy of honor, for many gold, as well as silver seals will appear on 1928 diplomas. The class of 1928, whose officers are Carl Wilson, president, Ralph Giberson, vice- presidentg Ruth Clark, secretary, Muriel Bernsdorf, treasurer, and John French, senior court custodian, as it goes out in search of new experiences and problems, leaves in this year book a more complete record of its progress through the four years at Palo Alto Union High School. 1241
