l . Cv' i' ga i ff SENIOR CLASS HISTORY In the autumn of 1928 there came tripping into High School approximately 250 naive little Freshmen who were all for making highest distinction and being in every activity. To start things oh' a picnic-hike was arranged for Freshmen only. and the usual tumbling and sliding down the hills of old Kentucky was renewed with much vim and vigor. The Freshman Dance was open to the whole school. The lucky sponsors of this remarkable class were Miss Hughes, Mr. Phillips, and Miss Blazer. Little Billie Horr presiding over such a rowdy bunch was quite a success. Came 1929, and with this year a hush that comes before a11 ensuing storm. A Sport Dance took the limelight and was a whale of a success'. The head sponsor again was Miss Hughes and her assistants were Miss Slavens and Mr. Simmons. Booker V. Moore was the big shot that memorable year. The storm broke in 1930 and such a downpour there was! VV e were honored with the very difficult task of editing the school paper-the '1icho. The Hal- loween Dance was advertised to the limit and went over big . The real affair, however was the Hard Times Dance. Confetti and clever decorations adorned the gym. Next on the list was our Spring play, Lilies of the Field , which was bril- liantly portrayed by a lively group of amateurs. Furthermore and lastly the junior- Senior Banquet deserved all the honors. Those responsible were Miss Hughes, Mr. Simmons, and Mr. Leach. At last comes the climax of our career followed by graduation and for some, oblivion. The first gala affair of our current events was a Dance in which all classes were invited to participate. Everyone enjoyed the band immensely. Green Stockings , a modern comedy, received quite an ovation and the auditorium was well filled both nights. Another dance namely, the Valentine Frolic , thrilled the Freshies but the nonchalant upper-classmen took it merely as a matter of course. Almost last comes the Boat Excursion of May 17th, a clay never to be forgotten by anyone who went. The band was marvelous and dancing was in demand throughout the afternoon. Lastly, but as usual, not least, the commence- ment play was given. It wasn't just another play, but something by which to remember the high and mighty Seniors. In closing 1 wish to mention that the Senior Class has given to P. H. S. some of the most versatile athletes ever to attend high school. Both girls and boys have performed diligently in all divisions. The Senior girls as a parting souvenir won every championship available. The Class of '32-now bids the old Alma Mater a fond farewell.
