Fil 'IIUII' 'll' 'I T H E T I G E R I' 'II' 'IIUII' Illfi Senior Class Historq X2 'Twas a day in September in '28 The first day ot' school at Princeton High was about to get started, when lo and behold! Approximately eighty lf'reslnnen were to be seen battling valiantly in an attempt to get into the spacious zuiditoriuin first. Oh yes, they were finally calmed down, but it took real courage and bulldog tenacity to manage. lt seems as if these green yearlings should have been at least awe st1'uck at being in high school, but outside of losing themselves in the corridors, they acted very much at home. They struggled tln'ough the first few days of the old grind in excellent order, but then came the time for class elections. The great political minds of the class combined their several talents and succeeded in electing Gail Castner as President, Evelyn Al- paugh as Vice President, Kent Cain as Secretary, and Kathleen Moran as Treasurer. lVhat rejoicing and gaiety now that the terrific strain of campaigning, voting, etc., were over! Now, the class could get down to business, and it did. They staged a Hallowelen party under the direction of Miss Howard that was a classic in the art of entertainment. Right up to snuff those dumb 'tFreshies, for they even danced at this first function. lt looked like the material for a snappy class. They struggled through the year with some semblance of brilliancy, and gladly watched the Seniors take their parting in June. The next year was a different story. The lowly, nntamed Freshman was a dignity now . . . someone to be looked up to . . . someone to be respected . . . a mighty person- age of intellect and knowledge, for wasn't he a Sophomore? This time, the class assem- bled with all due dignity, and without clamor or furor, to again elect leaders of the motley outfit. This time the high and mighties elected were: President, Bruce Grant, Vice President, Lester Peterson, Secretary, Aldean Duffield, Treasurer, Deah Enyart. Once again, now that leaders were in charge, concentration of activities was started. An all school picnic started things off with a bang. Then the party, the annual Sophomore banquet and various minor functions helped to liven things up. Big things were begin- ning to be expected from this determined bunch. Then once again June came, and with it, of course, another Commencement. This time, the Seniors were bidden good-bye with just a bit more sadness and respect, for it would be only two years before they would be saying farewell to dear old Almah Manta. The return to school in the Fall gave the group a new lease on life. Now they were upper-classmen. All respect and obedience was due them. Maybe they didn't get it, but at any rate they thought it was due them. For the third time, all were assem- bled to ponder on the candidates for election to official capacities. They selected a mot- ley bunch composed of: Audrey Anderson as President, Dick lvitllllilfli as Vice Presi- dent, Lester Peterson as Secretary, and Minna Lue Hoover as Treasurer. Robert Bur- gess was chosen as Cheer Leader. Things were one great big' social whirl in this third year. First the gang'l and the Page Nineteen
