Junior Executive Board During the semesters of 1926 and 1927, the junior Class has been guided through its busy year by the Executive Board elected at the first class meeting held in September. The Executive Board has, with the help of the class, made possible the Junior Dance, the J-Hop, the Junior-Senior Banquet, the Redpath Course for next year, and many other activities. The members are: Lawrence Rattenbury, Presidentg Joy McNabb, Vice-Presi- dentg Leona Beyer, Secretaryg Helen Carruthers, Treasurer, Harold Hubert, Robert Tefft and Franklin Atkinson. Advisors: Miss Shaffmaster, Mr. Dykehouse, Mr. Holcomb and Miss Gwatkin. ' J -Hop The first annual J-Hop was given on April 22 in the High School Auditorium. Pat- terson's Orchestra furnished the music for the occasion. The decorations that changed the gym into a place of beauty were cleverly carried out in pastel shades of twisted crepe paper which formed a false ceiling over the entire floor. From this lights in pink and white apple blossom shades were dropped. Punch was served from an old fashioned stone well between dances. Lawrence Rattenbury, president of the Junior Class, with his guest, Barbara Horton, led the grand march. Much credit is due the junior Class and their patrons for one of the prettiest parties of the year. -Katherine Wilcox. 21

I A 'f , Senior History When as Freshmen we thought of the four years ahead of us, they seemed very long, but now as Seniors, as we reminisce upon them, they have been indeed short, and we think of them with a sigh. Our first party, as members of P. H. S., was the Freshman reception, after which we felt we really belonged Our officers were Wilbur Murphy, President, Beulah Fisher, Vice-President, and Alice Hathaway, Secretary and Treasurer. It was during this year we were saddened by the loss of Alton Forshee, who has been missed greatly. Our Sophomore year opened with the election of these officers: Katherine Wilcox, Presidentg Winifred Draper, Vice-President, Robert Hubert, Secretaryg and Gaylord Say- les, Treasurer. We did not do much this year, except to gain confidence and to feel neces- sary. However, some of our number were active in the many sports and clubs. Many boys of our class who could not join the Senior Hi-Y because of the limiting of members to thirty-five, organized a Sophomore Hi-Y club with Wilbur Murphy as President. When the Sophomores became juniors this club was dissolved. Katherine Wilcox was re-elected President of the Junior Class, and Ruth Allison, Vice-President, Barbara Horton, Secretaryg and Beulah Fisher, Treasurer, who completed the list of officers. We were allowed, this year, an executive board, composed of the officers and Wilbur Murphy, Ruth Waterman, Needham Lockwood, Winifred Draper, Basil Carney, Robert Hubert and Grace Lee, who put through a Lyceum course for our Senior year. We put on a very successful junior Play, Seventeen by Booth Tarkington, and we also gave a banquet to the football men. Our junior-Senior Banquet, in Spanish style, earned the reputation of being the prettiest banquet ever put on in P. H. S. In our Senior year, with the officers Terrence Hickey, President, Marie Miller, Vice- President, Ruth Waterman, Secretary, and Wilbur Murphy, Treasurer, we began right away to sell tickets for the lecture course, which went off well. For the first time in the history of Plymouth High School, there were dances held in the Auditorium and the class of '27 held the first one. They were also the first to have a Senior Prom. The Senior Play, The Man on the Box was exceptionally successful. Because we were refused the privilege of going to Washington as we had expected, we decided to do something to make up for it, something again different, so we had a Skip Day, when every Senior was sup- posed to stay away from school. Most of us went to Detroit and had a wonderful time, although the next day found us receiving E's for our absence. The Graduation exercises finished what have been four very happy, successful years. We wish to take this opportunity to thank our patrons, Misses Schmid and Giles and Mr. Lindquist for their kindness and forebearance toward us and their diligence in everything we have tried to do. 20
