RADIATOR YEAR BOOK CLASS HISTORY In September, 1925, the Class of 1928 entered the High School as Sophomores, feeling very un- necessary, inferior, and of little consequence in comparison with the upper classmen. But after the election of our class officers—President, John Buckley; Vice-President. Olive Thompson; Secretary. Estelle Keaney; and Treasurer. Norman Watt—we began to realize that we were as much a part of the school as any class, and that responsibilities were to he placed on our shoulders. That we were expected to follow the example of preceding classes and strive for higher scholarship, render fuller service, and cultivate liner characters than ever before, we readily understood and straightway as- sumed our responsibilities. A fine class spirit was shown by the splendid response of the class in paying the class dues promptly. Our Sophomore dance was enjoyed by many. After a well-spent vacation we returned in September, 1926, to our school which had now grown to mean much to us. We were resolved to Ik still more active, of greater service, and more loyal supporters of every worthy cause. Lawrence Williams was elected President: Ruth Hodges, Vice- President; Estelle Keaney, Secretary; and George Goodwin, Treasurer. As before, the class re- sponded admirably to the call for class dues. This year we were granted a Junior Night. Through the splendid efforts of the Junior Night Committee. Herbert Fallgren, Olive MacPhcrson, and Dorothy Gordon, our program was presented so well that we challenge any Junior Class to better it. Too much credit cannot be attributed to Miss Bell, who so wisely and cleverly coached the play and advised the committee. Members of our class took active parts in various drives and organizations, the class co-operated whole-heartedly with the Students’ Council, and some members were given the honor of being the first Juniors to be received into the National Honor Society. This proved that wc were still aiming for high ranks in scholarship. Once more vacation intervened and enabled us to return in 1928 more keyed-up with ambition, pep, and determination than ever before, for now we were Seniors. How good it seemed to each of us to be once more with our friends who had come to mean so much to us! Our officers this year were Lawrence Williams, President; Virginia Kenney, Vice-President; George Corbett, Treas- urer; and Estelle Keaney. who was re-elected to serve as Secretary for her third term of office. That we as Seniors were interested in making our school better was at once shown when an as- sembly of about 1500 students, planned for and conducted by students only from the Senior Class, was held to arouse the spirit and interest of all classes in athletics, and not only in athletics but also in scholastic attainments did our class set an example. Senior Play Night was a marvelous success due to the untiring work of our Play Committee, Prescott Hall. Olive Thompson, and Henry Levenson. Once more we express our appreciation to them and to Miss Bell, who again coached a successful play. And now as we are about to leave, we cannot express our appreciation of our teachers who have so wisely and willingly instructed us. We will better appreciate them several years from now when we experience some of the things for which they have prepared us. It is our wish that the classes of ’29 and ’30 will carry on with as much interest as we have carried on. and that they will come to care for our high school so much that they will leave it as reluctantly as we are leaving. We hope that some day someone will say that the new high school is a greater school, not so much because of its new buildings and modern conveniences, but because the classes of ’29 and ’30 made it a better place because they were in it. Lawrence R. Williams, President Senior Class, ’28 21
