SENIOR CLASS HISTORY, W-'29 Honorable Judge, I am presenting the Winter Class of '29 for their final degree from Phineas Banning High School. Their accomplishments merit such an honor. I am speaking for them. Great in number We began our high school career with plenty of vigor. In that year we were given first place in the Courtesy Program and our girls captured the inter-class basketball championship. Under the leadership of Mr. Van Zandt, our Sophomore year was thrilling! We had many social affairs. One of the best of these was the masquerade party given by Johnnie Morrison. The Junior year brought our class to the front. Many honors were brought to the school by individual members of the class. Katherine Gillman was school representative in the National Oratorical Contest. Seniors! And how we uphold that Senior dignity! Greatly decreased in number but not in spirit, our last year has indeed been a successful one. Besides competing in athletic contests, members of the class won scholastic mention. Carl Miller won first place in stock judging and Harold Miller second place in the Model Airplan Construction Contest. Honorable Judge, having related the history of the Winter Class of '29, I am certain that these future citizens are indeed worthy of the de- gree which you are about to grant them.

Doris Fohl The class of '29 anchored at the Port of Wilmington, September, 1926, to begin its career at Banning High School with seventy freshmen. Mrs. Wolflin and Mr. Welch were its class teachers. The Ship of Life became the class motto. Florence Henderson made a score for the class by winning the oratori- cal contest in Banning. Class spirit reigned high in our Junior year. This gave the Seniors plenty of competition. Mrs. Winn and Mr. Freed were guardians this year. The hit of the season was a Junior play, A Strenuous Life, starring Mildred Brettell and Tom Stockman. As Seniors we were greeted by our new teacher, Mrs. Griffith, who was given the entire class of fifty-one to guide. The Senior class of '29 has en- tered all the school activities and carried honors in academic Work as Well as sports. The class play, 'fThe Thirteenth Chair, upset the school with a bang! NO one realized that such mysterious happenings could be possible at Banning. The famous debators, Phyllis Evans, Raymond Miller, Rollin McBurney, and Allan Lind put Banning on the map. The ever-popular Tom Stockman was elected president of the student body and was succeeded by John. Morrison, vice-president, on Tom's departure from town. Banning's clever cartoonest, La Rue Foster, became president in mid-term. And now the Ship of Life is ready to weigh anchor and leave the port of Wilmington to continue its course.
