CLASS HISTORY It was on September 26, 1925, that P. C. H. S. opened its doors to receive one of the peppiest classes it has ever known. They were green and awkward and had to suffer the humiliation of wearing green hair ribbons and pink neck ties, yet they lived it down. The class officers elected were: Howard Froyd, president; Edward Wolfe, vice-president; Elzora Urban, secretary; and Mable Kroon, treasurer. In the second year, the class of 1930 lost some of its bashful ways since it was very observant of the bold, bad ways of the upper classmen. This year the class officers were: President, Perle Burkard; vice-president, Nellie Alexander; secretary, Mable Kroon; treasurer, Cletus Bess. With the beginning of the third year, the class showed signs of seemingly inexhaustible pep and came to be known officially as the peppiest class in school. That third year began with the usual routine of meeting old friends, making new ones, and electing officers. Robert Edgren was made president; Samuel Adkins, vice-president; Albert Scatterday, treasurer, and John Weidner, secretary. Many of the class distinguished themselves in football, basketball and debate. The Junior picnic was greatly enjoyed by the members present. It consisted of a lunch, games, and swimming. After the picnic was over, the boys suggested to some of the girls that they learn how to swim before they got into deep water again. Miss Shearer’s efforts to direct a play were not useless since the Junior play, “The Whole Town’s Talking,” was very successful. As the school year drew to a close, the Junior-Senior banquet was given May 29 at the Middlecoff Hotel. There was dancing and card playing afterwards at the Legion Hut. Now, the last year is drawing to a close. The class as a whole can feel that it has done its share in all the school activities. Although the class is not so large as it was when it started, there still remain forty-five to graduate. The Seniors had a picnic in October. The meat provided was steak. One could see the students taking bites of this steak and then putting it back on the stick to cook some more. As darkness came on, the picnic broke up and the class climbed into cars and departed for home. The Seniors were given the responsibility of supervising the Stunt Show this year. It was given two nights instead of one and drew full houses both evenings. “The Rear Car” was chosen for the class play to be presented June 3. Events of importance at the close of the year were Class Day, May 27; Junior-Senior banquet, May 29; Baccalaureate, June 1; and Commencement, June 6. The class takes sad leave of dear P. C. II. S., but it hopes that the school will never forget the “Peppy Class of 1930.”
