SOUTH HIGH ANNUAL i 3 Class History 3 i i. .. .-.. -..-. -. . 4 -- - . -. ' .i E, the senior class of South High, in the year of 1926 do record in this Annual the history of our high school life, and hereby dedicate this history to the classes which are to follow us. Part of the class entered in 1922 from Siebert Street School, others came from Mound Street and Roosevelt in 1923. lVe found homes in Rooms 6, 3, and 16, under Miss Stitt, Mr. Stahl, and Mrs. Durtlinger. In a short time the build- ing was filled to capacity so the later arrivals found homes in the auditorium under Mr. Beery, the present Superintendent of Franklin County Schools, Mr. Blakesley, Miss Tallant, and Miss Wolfe. As could be expected of new material we were green as grass, as the saying goes. However, we showed that we had respect for our upper classmen and as a reward were given the first Newcomers Party, now an annual affair at South. Thus our first year at South ended. Sophomore Year The sophomore year of the class of 1926 was a year of getting acquainted. During this year the Sesame, an honorary English Club, and the Spanish Club, for all students taking above the ninth grade Spanish, were organized. Miss Scott and Miss Piersol were leaders of the Sesame and Mr. MacDonald of the Spanish Club. We were well represented in activities of the school. Members of the Stu- dent Council werc: Ruth Tungate, Ruth Knollman, Clarence Enderle, Sam Yablok, Herman Thorne, Rose Schalit, May Hyle, John Koontz, Mable Ruehle, Winifred Rice, and Herman Heil. Those playing in the orchestra and band were Lewis Stallsmith, Hlilliam Barton, Leo Hall, Louis Rosenthal, NVilliam Creager, Louise Coble, Earl Hall, Claire Mackan and 'Willis Powell. Football players were William Barton and Leo Hall. William Barton was elected Captain of the 1926 Basketball team. I Members of the class who played baseball were Nlloodford Holzbacher, NVil- liam Barton, and Leo Hall. WVoodford Holzbacher, a third baseman, was elected Captain of the 1926 team. It was in the latter part of the Sophomore year that we moved to the new school. And Oh! what a difference! Everything so nice and comfortable com- pared with the old school. The first week at the new building was a time of exploration. Then we settled down to prepare ourselves for a. prosperous junior year. lummmmumumn
