'ET - H M 6' Senior Class History The Senior Class of '29 has a unique history because it is not often that a group of Freshmen can come into High School and be the best class of the school every year they are in High School, including their senior year. This is what the class of '29 has done. It will be remembered that the class of '25 was the best Fresh- man class the school has ever known. Mary Edlo Davenport was president, Jean Jennet was vice president, and Polk Rominson was treasurer. Miss Roberts, the sponsor, was all that a sponsor could be and even more. We won the main annual contest that year, an unusual feat for the Fish. Many parties were given and altogether the year was a huge success. In our Sophomore year we elected Mary Edlo Davenport as president again and made Evelyn Long our secretary. Our spon- sors were Mrs. Fletcher and Mr. Davis. This year was very suc- cessful and some of the fighting Bulldogs were Sophs. The Sopho- more Halloween party was the grandest party of the year. Our Junior year was a memorable one, not only to us, but to all the school. We were the most active class in '28 and proved it by winning the beauty contest, and by our leading part displayed in school life. Clare Seay was our able president, Evelyn Long was our vice president. In the school carnival the Junior booth was the most attractive. The Junior play was the best ever given in Ranger. Our Junior-Senior banquet was put over in grand style. Our co-operating sponsors were Mrs. Neill and Miss Simer. The climax to all these happy years arrived when we started to school Monday morning on Sept. 10, 1928. Our Senior year was an outstanding success from beginning to end. Lee Thompson made an excellent president while Mary Edlo Davenport served as vice president. Jeanette Yonker served well as secrtary-treasurer. We chose the three best sponsors in school: Mrs. Neill, Mrs. Healer, and Miss Simer. In the first month of school the Seniors had given a play, chosen their rings, and elected officers. In the second month they selected the invitations. They gave more parties than all the other classes put together and won every single contest the Annual had. Thus they established a record that no other Senior class has made and one that no other Senior class will make The class of '29 has been the best co-operative class Ranger High School has ever known, and it is certain that the members of this class will always hold the standard high and continue to be successful and fruitful in all their endeavors. 4- , S .,gh,::: -f -.,.-,..

I had saved a few pennies in hope of a trip to Europe, but since flying had become the vogue, I felt that an old maid should have an extra big thrill. With fluttering heart and athrob in my head, I purchased a big tri-motored plane with the intent to tour the country. I put an ad in the local paper for a pilot and a mechanic. The very first applicant for pilot was Floyd Higgs. He brought Sylvan Gray along as a mechanic, so I accepted these two old classmates of mine for the positions. On the first day we arrived at San Antonio at 2 o'c1ock. Through some technical error I found my pilot's license not legal, so I hurried to the best lawyers in the city for legal consultation. In a big office building I saw the sign, Thompson and Smith. A pretty little office girl, whom I recognized as Eva Gardenhire, showed me in the office. There in all his manly dignity sat Lee Thompson, the famous attorney, and by his side, James Smith, equally famous as a criminal lawyer. After paying a large fee and receiving a small amount of advice, I decided to go to the best show I could find. At the theater entrance Lewis Gregg walked up and spoke to me. He was manager-owner of the large theater. After I found a seat in the show, Long's Violin Choir came on the stage and per- formed beautifully. Evelyn's hair was still curly but she couldn't keep from making eyes at the pianist, Onos Mills. Our second stop was at Austin. The head of the flying field there was Denzil Kelley. Of course I had to visit the governor's mansion and see Governor Clare Seay and his wife, whom I knew as Jessie Johnston. When I landed in Atlanta it was rather abruptly! Something happened to the plane and we landed on the wrong side. As we did not know the extent of of our injuries, we called the famous surgeon, Dr. Frank Plumley, who soon eased our pain. His nurse was Jimanna Caraway. While in New Jersey we stopped at the Crow Hotel and found J. L. Well and happy. Head detective in his hotel was Doyle Lanier, whose sleuthful manner was simply fascinating to an old maid like me. I heard the concert of Madam Kenneth Wier. prima donna, while in the city. She held the audience spell-bound. We flew from New Jersey to New York. We decided to take a few holidays to see the famous metropolis. On entering a florist lf-Q il eeee A glljfii.E.--1 3' fl H.
