HISTORY OF THE CLASS OF SUMMER '33 Dear l922220: Iune 22, 1977. I sincerely appreciated your last flight to see me. I am much better now and able to tell you the story I promised you of what I thought of that terrible night when I fought for my life. They say a person near death relives his whole life in a moment, but strangely enough it was just my high school days that I recalled. I could see dear old Phineas Banning High School so plain, but you can imagine how funny it looked being only three stories high and with no landing field atop of it. At first I didn't understand this, then I saw automobiles in front of the school and was reminded that in 1927, fifty years ago, tfor it has been exactly that many years since we entered high schooll, the most impor- tant method of transportation was the auto. But I must stop this wandering. for I want to tell you all of the things we did during those six wonderful years.

First we were considered too large a class for three home rooms so were changed into four, Mr. Helback getting the new group, and second, Mr. Riffenburg gave up his job in favor of Mr. Welch. This new arrangement was evidently very satisfactory for the class had a year full of activities, including debates, plays, and some athletics. With the same faculty advisors we advanced another grade and became Seniors, I mean seniors in the Iunior high, of course, From our class David Stamper was chosen as Iunior High student body president. I can still close my eyes and see a small boy resembling our big back to the farm movement leader pounding vigorously on the table. That year started us off socially, and I distinctly remember a Christmas and Valentine party. As the end of the year approached, we began to plan for our Ir. High graduation, only to learn that we were not to have one. I guess you remember, though, at leasg Continued on page 20 PAGE NINETEEN
