STUDENT LANTERN-AURORA History of Class of 1928---Continued All's Well That Ends Well The thrill of sauntering nonchalantly into Room 1, depositing one's books in his desk there, and wearing the reserved expression so necessary to Seniors is finally ex- perienced! The Senior Class officers are: President-Hazen Armstrong Vice-President-Marion Rabe Secretary-Helen Seitner Treasurer-Elizabeth Forbes Student Union Representatives-William Koepke, Helen Yeager, Arthur Millet, Carl Hahn, Howard Gudritz A fantasy, Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs , the annual Senior Play was pre- sented at the Auditorium. Because of their acquired poise and mental elevation, this play was deeply appreciated by the Class as it remind-ed them of their childhood days. A Saturday morning performance was given for children especially, with the crippled children of Saginaw as guests of the Class. A Graduation with its hectic preparations came, and it was decided by the School Board that this Class graduate with Arthur Hill and Arthur Hill Trade School at Hoyt Park if the Weather were fair and at the Auditorium if it rained, marking the conclu- sion of their High School career and leaving them wondering if after all it was not the beginning instead of the end.

STUDENT LANTERN-AURORA History Of Class of l928 Class History A Comedy of Errors The war-cry for a new school was at its height back in '25. The Sophomores were so destructive in their rapid and clumsy ascents and descents of the steps that even the New Building began to vacillate menacingly. It seemed necessary to station extra Faculty members at conspicuous places along the staircase, that they might at least endeavor to suppress flaming youth's crafty attempts at drawing forth every particle of noise possible from those tempting metal steps. The highly polished con- dition of the balusftrade has also been attributed to the fervent zest with which those children slid down it. . The annual party known as the Sophomore Spread was greatly enjoyed by the little folks. Each one was embellished with a tag on which his name was written, This identification was very helpful if one lost his bearings. True to old traditions, class elections were held and the following officers were elected: President-Henry Pendell ' Vice-President-Gerald Taylor Secretary-Chester Petre Treasurer-Hazen Armstrong Student Clouncil Representatives-Ethel Schwartz, Harry Kinney Upon discovering that carving their names into the desks was a futile attempt at establishing a memorial, since the desks are planed oif almost every summer, it was decided to hang a picture in Room 311 for this purpose. Much Ado About Nothing As Juniors, these children felt the weight -of their years very keenly, thus quelling their exuberance somewhat. The worthy officials this year were: President-Dorothy Ditz Vice-President-Robert Ruh Secretary-Dorothy Beuthin Treasurer-Norman Argle Student Union Representatives--Marion Rabe, Carl Hahn, George Shimmin, Hazen Armstrong Seven Keys to Baldpateu was chosen as the Junior play and was presented two nights at the Central Junior High School Auditorium, where it was very enthusiastic- ally received. A party for the Class, as a reward for attendance of Junior parents at P. T. A. meetings, was sponsored by the Parent-Teachers' Association, and in respect to their advancing years, this party took place in the evening. PAG E FOURT EN
