Glass Qoem Lons within thy walls we've struggled. Now our hearts arc filled with woe. Since the time of parting faces us And duty bids us rise and go. With success you've crowned our efforts. Given blessings which none could foretell; But longer wc cannot linger. Farewell, State School, Farewell. Acquaintances here were fond and true. Now as we go on our way. We put off farewells as long as wc can And good-bye we dread to say. But good-bye just means God bless you , And that's what we're saying to you. God bless you teachers, classmates, friends. And guide you in all that you do. Alma mater, teachers, classmates. All that now we are leaving behind; Accept this farewell message. From the class of twenty-nine. W. E. B. Twenty-lom

111 m fflir.V' History of the Senior Glass THE Senior Class of 1929 originated back in the fall of 1926, when forty-three green and ignorant freshmen arrived at State School and began the three year grind which was to bring them at last to their Senior year and graduation. The class officers elected for the first year were as follows: President, Wade Mattice; Vice-President, Evelyn McDuffec; Secretary, Mabel Hone; Treasurer, Arthur Lock-row; Assistant Treasurer, Hazel Sharpe. The Freshman class was well represented on the Varsity basketball squad and its members on the squad scored many of the points captured during the basketball season. The fall of 1927 found the forty-three invincibles no longer Freshmen. They had completed their first year of hard work and had arisen to the dignity of Juniors. The officers elected for the Junior year were: President, Henry Robinson; Vice- President, Paul Chase; Secretary, Archie Lawson; Treasurer, William Borthwick. In January the Junior class was greatly enlarged by the addition of eighteen students of the two year teacher training course. On February 11th the class gave a Valentine Party in the auditorium, which was voted a complete success. They also contributed to various other activities throughout the year. Then came the fall of 1928 and the Juniors entered upon their final year at State School under the title of Seniors, with full authority over the Freshmen who were just entering. Officers elected for the first term of the Senior year were: President, Carl Easton; Vice-President, Olda Ottman; Secretary, Catherine Lang; Treasurer, Henry Robinson. Of course the first event of any interest was the Freshmen-upper classmen rush. The Juniors and Seniors combined to take the victory away from the Frosh, who showed excellent sportsmanship throughout the entire proceedings. The party given in the evening was a big success, many Freshmen finding a balm for their wounded spirits in the evening’s entertainment. Several dances have been held in the auditorium following the Varsity games. These dances have all been sponsored by the Senior class and have provided an evening's entertainment to all students who wished to attend. The Senior class again increased in number after the mid years because of the entering students from the one year teacher training class. After their arrival, a meeting was held for the election of officers for the second term. The officers were all re-elected from the first term with the exception of the Secretary, Miss Young being elected to that office. Now we are nearing our goal, with graduation near at hand. While we are looking forward to the time when we will be going out into our various fields of activity, we cannot help a feeling of sadness at parting with dear old State School and all that our time on the hill has meant to us. May we never forget the joys and sorrows experienced by us at dear old N. Y. S. S. A. M. E. R , '29 Twenty-three
