 TWILA REDINGTON—“RED” Twila has always been held in very high esteem among her classmates. She is often found serving at the Senior suppers and all other activities, always working with an untiring effort. Twila doesn’t like to study much and seems to get along without it. We wonder why! She finds no time to spend with the opposite sex—perhaps she is just as well off. Everyone considers her as a friend because of her cheerful attitude at all times. We are certain that success awaits her in the world. EDWIN SKADEN—“EMO” Emo does not take up much room, but say! he is the biggest little man in high school. He ranks among the first in scholarship, and is a member of the National Honorary Society. He is always active on committees and other class activities. Because of his literary ability, he has been class reporter for some time. To make a long story short, Emo is a real good fellow and a friend to everyone. National Jinnoru Society One of the highest honors which our school can confer upon its graduates is election as a member to the National Honorary Society. Each year as the school year comes to an end, comes the choosing of the members to this Society. Only members of the Senior Class are eligible to belong to it. Twenty-live per cent of the class, those ranking highest in their work throughout their school career are considered by the faculty. However, only fifteen percent of the students are chosen with respect to Scholarship, Leadership, Character and Service to the school. Those chosen from the Class of ’28 as members to this Society are: Edgar Coleman, Robert Fortner, George Grabe and Edwin Skaden. The entire student body wishes to congratulate them through this publication.

CLYDE NORDSTROM—“A. J ” A born magician. At all school entertainments and exercises Clyde affords a great deal of amusement in “slight of hand. Full of pep and energy he has been one of the most active promoters in helping the class achieve the high reputation which it now holds. Clyde is often found going from house to house, collecting papers, selling tickets and rendering other services to help the class earn money for the Washington Trip. Clyde has never been known to get angry and a sorrowful person could not remain with him long before they would forget all their troubles. ALICE PARSON—' AL” Always seen but seldom heard is Al's motto. She often sits with her head down, and when a glimpse of her face is seen, it is always covered with a broad smile; this is almost invariably followed by a roar of laughter. Once in a great while Alice likes to have people know she is around, and she takes the opinion negative to the majority, getting everyone in a state of anxiety, upon which she bursts out in laughter and joins the crowd. Neverthless, “Al holds a warm place in the hearts of her classmates. EDWIN PFEIL—“EDDIE” The class comedian, and this he is without a doubt. He came to us in his Junior year from Pittsburgh, and for a long while thought that Pitt was just it; but gradually changed his mind from Pitt to “Crosby.n Eddies avocation is dancing, and he sure can strut his stuff. School studies are the least of his troubles, but when it comes to football, track and baseball—that's where Eddie shines. His chief hobby is sleeping in class, but perhaps this is not his fault alone. CHARLES PLUNKETT—'‘CHARLIE” The most bashtul boy in High School. He never even casts a glance toward any girl, but perhaps he is just as well off. Studies and work are primary factors in his life. He is often of much assistance to the other pupils by answering a question which perhaps was not even heard stated by the others; therefore being a friend in need. We think that Charlie will be a farmer in the future, and we know he will make as much of a success of it as he has his other enterprizes.

aljr (Fuxrr £ilu iiistoru of the Class of 1928 We, the members of the c'ass of 1928, started our High School career early in the autumn of 1924. As green freshmen we were enrolled in old P. A. H. S. almost sixty strong. However we were not yet officially regarded as members of the High School by the upper classmen. No, we had to first attend a reception given us by those more mature beings. This affair known as the Freshman Reception, was dreaded alike by all classes when they first were ushered into this place of higher learning. We were no exceptions and so attended this sordid affair with misgivings, quaking hearts and other manifestations of fear. After being dealt with in the usual manner, that is with belts, paddles and other implements equally as fearsome, we were treated as guests should be treated, but when refreshments were served it was very noticeable that we preferred to eat standing up. Thus ended our first “social function.” The year passed quickly by our class mixing work with play in the proper way. Parties, a sleigh-ride, picnics and meetings all helped to make the year go faster. Our class united with the Sophomores and Juniors in promoting the first inter-class sleigh-ride ever taken there. Almost the whole school with the faculty went to Roulette on this trip and everyone enjoyed themselves to a marked degree. Our class gained a place in sports even this early when two of our number gained their letters in track. The officers for our first year were: Presidents, George Grabe and Thomas Springer: Vice President, Edwin Skaden; Secretaries, Rose Shevak and Ruth Johnson; Treasurers, Lawrence Grigsby and Anna Martin ; Class Advisor, Miss Wolfe. Upon the reopening of school the next fall we changed our scholastic residence to the new school on Arnold Avenue. Our Sophomore year was a success in every way. The scholastic standing of our class was of the highest and our athletes were making a name for themselves in the various branches of athletic endeavor. That year we had at least two lettermen in all three spox-ts. The class showed that they were not lacking when it came to other phases of school life. Several excellent chapel programs were put on by our class. The class pai-ties and picnics also went over big. Again a sleigh-i-ide was the pi-edominant affair of the year. The other membeis of the High School began to look upon us as a par-ticularly endowed group in regard to brains, ability and originality. The officeis who served that year were: President, Lawrence Gi’igsby; Vice Presidents, Ruth Ferm and Gor-don Edgar; Secretaries, Anna Martin and Avrorn Dickman; Treasureis, Carl Linnan and Edwin Skaden; Class Ad-visois, Mr. Davis and Miss Kieser. And now the half-way mark was passed in our High School education. In our Junior year we made unusual successes of several impoi'tant affairs of the year. The first, the Fresh-man Reception, was greatly enjoyed by all who attended except maybe those most vitally concerned. The initiation was one of the best and after-
