Elin- Eigrr ifilg fflistnrg nf the In September, 1925 the class of '29 made its debut into the upper ranks of the local system of education. The class, tolling seventy in number, displayed marks of scholastic, athletic and social efficiency. At the first class meeting Miss Jaegar was elected class advisor, Howard Crain, president, Paul Par- ish, vice-presidentg Cecelia Romanio, secretary, and Andrew McNulty, treasurer. With this list of oflicials marked progress was made. Red and White were chosen for the class co-lors and from the floral sphere they select- ed the sweet pea. Later in the fall the class motto, Climb Though the Rocks be Rugged was adopted. This ex- tensive class readily adapted them- selves to the customs of the school and soon was recognized as an important factor in the school's progress. The first year of High School for this class was marked by one major event-their official reception into the High School. On the appointed night seventy timorous individuals reluct- antly attended the scho-ol. Somewhat roughly the verdant group was usher- ed to the auditorium. Prior to the ar- ranged program the upper classmen amused themselves by way of dishev- elling all kempt hair. With the mem- bers of '29 as the goats the program was presented. Frequently through- out the routine of affairs the paddle was applied to all antagonistic guests. Subsequently, seventy Hwearers of the green were mercilessly herded into the gymnasium to undergo further hu- mi'iations. The intelligent members of '29 were now experienced in the art nf receiving punishment and what fol- lowed, they underwent as the common course of events. Undaunted'y this group of students joined in the dance Qilass nf 1929 and turned the evening into- a social SLICCQSS. The class of '29 during their ele- mentary year of High School contrib- uted valuable material to all athletic teams and was adequately represent- ed on the Honor Roll. The remainder of this year was uneventful with the exceptio-n of the election of officers: Howard Crain, Leslie Crain, Andrew McNulty and Cecelia Romanio, who were president, vice-president, treas- urer and secretary respectively. Un- der their guidance those of '29 con- cluded a most fruitful school year. In the fall of 1926 this superb class returned to school, decreased in number but increased in dignity. The class of '29 asiduously pursued their Sophomore tasks under the advice of J. B. Kirkpatrick. For the first se- mester were elected President Howarrl Crain, Vice-President James Helmer, Secretary Helen Falk, and Treasurer Ralph Johnson. During their second year in High School the members of '29 evidenced convincing signs of ani- mation. Class parties were held with no little success. A class Weiner roast was staged and certain members of the class presented Pa's New House- koeper , a humorous one-act play. The year ended well with Howard Crain acting in the capacity of presi- dent, Leslie Crain, vice-president: Ruth Lovell, secretary, and Margaret McNally, treasurer. The year of 1927 found the class intellectually matured. The class flos- ignated Jack Healy, president, Ed- ward Haglund, vice-president: Cece- lia Romanio, secretary: and Radford Gamble, treasurer. This year the class was confronted with two gigan- tic projects: the sponsoring of the
