They chose Homan Hail for president, Elizabeth Minear as vice president, and Glenn Orr as secretary. Miss Smith and Mr. Freeman were the class advisors. The class gave one party during their Freshman year. No part was taken in athletics by the boys except in track, where we were represented by Doyle Schoonover and Earl Parsons. Earl won three second places at the sectional meet at Elkins. Still gazing into the mirror we see the class again enter P. H. S. as sophomores. The age of innocence, and incidentally greeness. has passed and new duties have to be performed. Helen Schwartz was elected President. Glenn Orr as Vice President and Elizabeth Minear. Secretary. Class advisors were Miss Harper and Mr. Howard. The boys made a good showing in athletics under Coach Howard. Again looking into the mirror we see the class once more stepping on the magic rug that whirled them to P. H. S. This year. Miss Wilson and Mr. Collins are class sponsors. Glenn Orr is President: Earl Parsons, Vice President: Ruth Collett. Secretary: and Doyle Schoonover, Treasurer. This year the Junior girls gave a party for the football boys. In the football season of '26 the Junior Class proved to the school at large that it contained some very good athletes. Our boys made up over half of the regular football team and showed great ability on the defense. When the Class of '28 first started out there was quite a large number but some have dropped out of the race and others have been hit by Cupid’s Dart until now there is only a total of forty-two left. Then at last the year of '28 came and tho it occasioned much joy, there is also much sadness for it is the last year that the old class will be together For our President we chose Glenn Orr: for Vice President. Kenton Lambert;Secretary, Lee Pennington; Treasurer, Hyder Gilmore; Sargeant at Arms, Albert Harper. Mr. Hall is the class sponsor. The class has made a good showing in athletics and will be remembered when it finally leaves the portals of P. H. S. forever, if by nothing more than the carved initials on the desk. page twenty-one
