31 uni or Class (Officers First Semester President ............... E. Coleman Vice-President..............G. Healy Secretary ............... R. Johnson Treasurer...................G. Grabe This class has followed in the footsteps of the superb class of 1927. they entered High School as green, if not greener, than the average Freshmen Class but they continued to advance and, throwing off this characteristic Frosh trait- arose to assume the dignity of Sophomores. This year they were fairly well represented in athletics, namely football, basketball and track. Upon entering school as Juniors they gave proof of their originality and ability when they made a splendid success of the annual Freshmen reception. This event was well planned and carried out and was greatly appreciated by those who attended, excepting necessarily the Freshmen. During the Junior year they have increased their representation in athletics to a great extent. Some of the Juniors taking part in the various athletic contests were: Hunter, Grigsby, Pfeil, Grabe, Berg, Thomas, Linnane, Ruth Johnson, Margaret Farner, Ruby Lovell, and others. Harold Thomas was captain of the 1927 basketball team. Class Colors ........ Blue and White Class Motto....... Second Semester President .................. E. Pfeil Vice-President ........ C. Nordstrom Secretary..........................R. Lovell Treasurer.............. A. Dick man Class Advisor............George Nolon Not only were they an indispen-sible class in athletics but socially they were a very active group. One of the great problems which confront every Junior class is the question of class rings. They displayed good taste and judgment in purchasing thirty rings which were very attractive. At last we find them wrestling with the problem which tests their resources to the utmost, the Junior-Senior Prom. The engineering of the Prom greatly determines the reputation of a class. The banquet prepared April 27, proved to be one of the best ever given. Through the co-operation and untiring efforts of the class as a whole the Prom went over big. Combining an unequable banquet spread with a well arranged program and finishing with wonderful dance music and dance floor, the occasion was bound to be one of the best. We sincerely hope and believe that the Senior Class of ’28 will do justice to the honors and reputation of the Class of ’27. Class Flower.....................Rose ......Aim High

They are not only a large class but a very progressive class. They have shown a great deal of initiative and interest in all their class activities as well as in all projects which concern the school as a whole. Although they are only in their first year of Senior High School they have shown that they have the making of a wonderful class which will prove its value to the school. Already we have resorted to them for some of our athletic material. A good proportion of Sophomores can be found on the varsity teams representing all three of the sports. They are not only members of the team but are valued players. From among the Sophomore athletes, Jack Healy, was chosen as captain of the 1927-28 football squad. Dollaway, Healy, Redington, Black and Chisholm were letter men during the 1926-27 season. The Sophomores may be justly proud of their athletes. Class Colors............Red and White The Sophomores are always well represented on the Honor Roll. They have among their number several very capable writers. Ronabelle Winston won the prize for the best essay on the life of Lincoln. Paul Sherwood won honors in the agricultural department. They are planning on ordering their class rings in the near future in order to have them at the beginning of their Junior year. They are looking forward to many activities and functions such as the Freshmen Reception Junior Prom and the Washington Trip. The Class of ’29 is a real live class and we feel sure that they will make a success of their different projects if they continue to work and plan with the enthusiasm they have shown thus far. The members of the class of ’29 will graduate from their Alma Mater with memories of having been in one of the best classes that ever graduated from the Port Allegany High School.
