. - s s ' - A The football and basket ball teams will lose McKay, Hendrick- son, and Lamb b graduation as well as many other members not associated with the teams. The Senior Girls won the interclass basket ball championship and also played an important part in other sports. The Senior class play, Second Childhood was given April 27, and went over big. The play represented lots of hard and steady work on the part of the cast and it was one of the best plays given by this school according to many who attended. The biggest and last social event of the year was the Senior Ball. Zona Pilon had charge of the General Committee and she and other members of her committee did their very best to make it the big event that it was. However, everything can't always be sunshine and success. Shadows of sorrow put our achievements in the background with the suddent death of Burl Hammond and Donald Ewing. These two students will always be remembered by the class of '28 with great respect and deep sorrow. Senior lDill E, that remarkable collection of still more remarkable boys and girls, officially dubbed the class of 1928, being of as sound and sane a mimi as could be reasonably expected at'ter our four years in this institution, have decided it behooves us to gather together a collection of our choicest treasures to bestow upon the brows of those in our midst most worthy of them. Our parting wish is that these desires be conscientiously fulfilled. ARTICLE I. Item 1. We leave to the faculty a needle and thread with which to mend all the bones we have broken i11 our mad stampede through the halls during our four years. Item 2. To the juniors we leave our nice shiny seats in the aud- itorium, together with all gum which may have accrued thereon during our occupancy, aforesaid they will find if they search dili- gently enough. Item 3. To the sophomores we leave the privilege of keeping Arthur Pearson in their midst, also the book How to Behave in Public. Item 4. To the freslnnen we leave a set of front and rear bump- ers, shock absorbers, and four-wheel brakes to be used for protec- tion purposes when rounding the corners and on the hall straight- of-way. ARTICLE ll. Certain members of the class of '28, realizing that they possess certain admirable qualities, have unselfishly resolved to share them with their more unfortunate fellowmen, and are here enumerated: Item 1. Neal McKay leaves his ability to race through high 'Fwenty-three.

On September 9, 1924, Mr. Campbell consented, after much per- suasion on our part, to let us have our first class meeting. Nomi- nations were made and we elected the following students to lead us through our first year of service: Commander-in-Chief, George Alexander, Lieutenant General, Bernard Sumner, Major General, Gladys Gilbertson, and Brigadier General, Helene Conner. In spite of being lowly freshmen we were well represented in every activity, and were breaking our way into the different clubs and organizations. For us, the biggest event of our first year was the Fresh- man-Sophomore Mixer. We had lots of fun and lots to eat so ev- ery one enjoyed themselves thoroughly, especially the Freshmen as it was something new to us. After one year of service we were advanced and given thc name of Sophomores. We had profited very much from our experiences of the first year, and applied all this intelligence to our work of the second year. This year we elected as officers, Commander-in-Chief, Charles Hendrickson, Lieutenant- General, George Alexander, Major Gen- eral, Allen Freeman, and Brigadier General, Bernard Sumner. With these students as officers we were bound to make a big show- ing. We took part in all athletics, school plays, glee clubs and oth- er activities. It was our pleasure this year to entertain the freslnnen at the annual mixer. A very fine program was presented and a good time was had by all who attended. For our third year we elected for our class officers: Command- er-in-Chief, Frank Houghton, Lieutenant General, John Vlahovich, Major General, Allen Freeman, and Brigadier General, Everett Me- lick. Everything we took part in was a big success. The Junior class was well represented in both boys' and girls' athletics. Other ac- tivities that were led to success because of the presence of some of our mighty Juniors were: the Dramatic Club, Orchestra, Glee Clubs, Debate, Kumtux, Cub and the Carnival. One of our Jun- iors, Charles Hendrickson, was appointed student manager of the carnival and is given much credit for making it such an event. The big social event of the year was the Junior Prom. The Prom was given on March 18, and the committees in charge were much commended on the way in which they put over their work. We finished our Junior year well satisfied with the work we had completed. In the fall of 1927, we began our last year of ser- vice. Since then we have put forth every effort to make this our best year. 'Twenty tw o
