M '72 WFS W Q 1928-THE TATTLER- 1928 SENIOR CLASS HISTORY We, the Seniors of 1928, entered high school in January, 1924, as sub-freshmen. The rest of the term was spent in accustoming ou1'selves to being in high school, and trying to rub off some of the greenness which the Sophomores claimed that we had. In the fall of the same year we became rea.l Freshmen, but we weren't the greenhorns that other Freshman classes were. On the first day of school, the Sophomores tried to give the Freshmen a swimming lesson in Gallagher Run, before the class was over, however, as many teachers were in the water as pupils. The class immediately entered into the social activities of the school, and the different organizations were fortunate in having some of us Freshmen as members. Our officers for the year were: President. Robert Williams, Vice-President, Corbin Tongren, Secre- tary, Elaine Isaacson, Treasurer, Gretchen Shanbacher, Adviser, Miss Margaret Clark. We were glad to return to school in the fall of 1925 for we were then full-fledged Sophomores. Our class, augmented to 125 students by the addition of 50 under-classmen, who were advanced when the ninth grade was abolished, was the largest one in the school, and of course the best. As Sophomores we held the first party of the year in the Gymnasium. Everybody enjoyed punch and doughnuts between dances. The class was represented in the other activities of the school. The class officers were: President, Mary Morgester, Vice-President, Robert Williams, Secre- tary, Floyd Walsh, Treasurer, Rachel Whelan, Adviser, Miss Jean Bell. Our Junior year was rather uneventful, except that we now convinced the teachers that we were, in addition to being the largest class, the brightest and cleverest. We held our share of the parties and held mem- berships in all of the school's organizations. Most of the class purchased high school rings at this time. The officers elected for the year were: President, Kenneth Romick, Vice-President, Anna Wanner, Secretary, Marion Black, Treasurer, Verna Isaacson, Adviser, Donald Peirce. We returned to Ridgway High for our last year, determined to make it the best of all. The Seniors formed the nucleus of the Glee Clubs, the Football and Basketball teams, the Hi-Y and Tri-Hi Clubs, and other or- ganizations, and, as in past years, we did not neglect our social life. Our officers for our Senior Year are: President, Stuart Jepson, Vice-President, Anna Wanner, Secretary. Marion Black, Treasurer, John Moore: Adviser, Donald Peirce. Out of about 125 students who entered High School as Sophomores, 88 are being graduated this year. We know that we have acquired wis- dom and have had experiences in our four years in Ridgway High School that will benefit us at a future time when we shall be all that our teachers, whose patience, teachings, and pains we appreciate more than we can say. have hoped us to be. 7 -Kenneth Romick. -4
