IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIH LA SALTIANNA |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||| SENIOR CLASS HISTORY On September 1, 1924, the class of 1928 entered Saltsburg High School with an enrollment of 43. As ambitious Freshmen, we organized our class and carried out successfully our few business matters. We elected Howard (irassell as president. Edith Black as secretary, and Aimee Grassell as treasurer. Our class was well represented in the Glee and Pollyanna clubs, and in the various athletic teams. Vacation time came, but the months sped swiftly by, and soon again we were in school to resume our tasks. In returning we found that only 27 scholars were in the Sophomore class. This year we were no longer unfamiliar with the ways of high school. We were encouraged by the thought that we had passed that dreadful stage of our career known as the Freshman year. We again organized our class with Thomas Mine as president, Marie Thunhurst as secretary, and Karl Morton as treasurer. That year debates stood foremost in our class activities, three members being on the team. Our class was also proud of the fact that we were represented in the girls’ and boys' basketball and track teams, and in the girls' glee club. We did not feel cpiite so little this year for we were beginning to be, at least, noticed by the upper classmen. We were gradually climbing the ladder to success, and we feel that it was a year well spent. Finally the day arrived when we could call ourselves Juniors. e could hardly realize that we were really Juniors. Even the sound of the name made us feel good for now we were upper classmen, and we knew that our presence was felt, seen, and heard. We were sorry to find that our number had dwindled to eighteen, but we, who remained, had taken another step toward the goal, which we were striving so hard to attain. This year we felt our responsibilities somewhat greater, and organized our class with care to elect an efficient body of officers. As a result we chose Fred Graham as president,' Fred Hart as secretary, and Robert Duncan as treasurer. As Juniors we played a great part in the various activities of the school. Our class made up the greater part of the basketball and track teams; several members were in the glee clubs, the high school orchestra, and in the oratorical contest. We had the honor of helping the class of '27 present their class operetta. “Bits of Blarney.” We feel proud of Wilmer Gosnell, who received the mathematical medal, offered by the Alumni association, which was open to the entire school. We had the privilege of being the first class in S. H. S. to get our class rings during our Junior year. Our Junior year passed much too soon. It was slowly dawning on us that we had only one more year of work and good times to spend together.

IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIHIII LA SALTIANNA |||||||||||||||||||||lllllllllllllllllllll OUR SCHOOLDAYS When we first came to this high school Freshmen we, as green as grass. Now, as grave and reverend Seniors, Smile we over the verdant past. Some have studied hard: Oh surely Some have studied long and well. Others have not been so faithful. Now their fears they scarce can quell. They’re afraid their ' .animations May for them most irksome be And for this reason they are spending Most their time on bended knee. Some of us. we do assure you. Have no apology to give. Our work itself will speak for us And be otir pride while we shall live. And to our teachers now we say, We thank you most sincerely, An inspiration you have been And not a teacher merely. Genevieve Lowman, ’28. 9 2 8 Page twenty-three
