DOROTHY ABBIE WHITAKER “Little Miss Muffet sat on a tuffet, eating curds and whey.

Her heart is as big as the universe, when you once reach it.

Senior Class History ’ 3 2 ONG, long ago in the primitive age of 1928, a band of one hundred Freshmen entered the solemn doors of our Alma Mater, with our importance much larger than our size. But we were soon shown our place by the upper-classmen and faculty. We sur- vived the tortures of “Rat Week” and were almost driven to believe we were rats or the direct descendants of that particular tribe of rodents. Examinations were passed with sighs of relief and our more fortunate members passed on to the Sophomore rooms feeling very sophisticated. As Sophomores our class had dwindled to sixty-three. We elected as our presi- dent, Charlotte Saunders; vice-president, Lillian Davis, and secretary- treasurer, Hunter Kunkel. Our class advisers were Miss Elizabeth Pugh and Miss Helen Croswhite. This year passed uneventfully except that several of our number made the varsity squads in basketball. Lo and behold, in 1930 we were Juniors! How time does fly! Gradua- tion dreams were beginning to be more than fancies; sixteen units loomed as our chief worry. It was in this year that our large family was divided into two sections, some taking a commercial course and the others taking a classical one. But division did not mean lack of cooperation with us! Our officers this year were elected as follows: Elizabeth Albert, president; Wilbur Lewey, vice-president; Thelma Sheppard, secretary-treasurer. Our class sponsors this year were Miss Elizabeth Blair and Mr. W. T. Walker. Sixty- eight Juniors were enrolled, and it was in this eventful year we received our class rings and pins — a wonderful event! The managers of both the boys’ and girls’ basketball teams were chosen from the Junior Class. I might add here that without Ernest Aust and Glenna Bocock to enliven things a bit, we might have succumbed to mo- notony, but of course they didn’t bother Miss Du Val at all, oh, no! When we entered school last fall we were given several lectures on our undignified manner, but as we were a very merry group it was hard to curb our spirits. This year we added to our class an honor student, Dorothy Turner, and Edythe Chinault also joined us. Hard work has been our por- tion this year; first we must pay off a debt before we could publish our year 28
