--- - ----- --THE soH1yA7N g19Q-W0 HISTORY OF CLASS OF JANUARY, 1930 l'Order! Will the me1nbers of the Class of january. 1930, please come to order? The history of this class has been requested for publication by the Scripps-Howard Editor. By the help of Pearl Camp. we have the history for publication. It will be posted for your Iinal judgmentf, Let us take some notations from this history, which traces us from Freshman days onward. September, 1926-football was in full sway. Then came basketball. and South traveled to Columbus to the tournament, and lost to East High School. Friendship Day called for pen- nies. dimes, or anything you had. Do you remember the program of lfour Headliners, and the Banking Contest in Miss Lind's Room? May Day in 19526 was at Perkins VVoodsg MiSS Louise lfoglesong was Queen. Promotion to 9-,X at last. September-football season again. The banking contest closed with a party at the home of one of the members. After that-a lull. Exams and promotion-and then we were IG-Bs Open-house in the Spring. :Xnother Banking Contest took place-this time in Miss l3ruderlein's room. This one caused an awful tight as to the winners. The operetta, 'lThe Pennant , was given as the Class Play. May Day, held inside, followed close on the heels of spring. Then promotion came for those who worked and some who copied. Now this mob had climbed to 10-A. To start the year right we won the Championship title. The combined classes of 403 and -106 had a Wiener Roast at evening near the old water reservoir on. the Wooster .Xvenue hill. A minstrel show was put over and proved to be a success. Exams-and we were ll-R's. South took honors in Track, then got honors on the May Day Program at Perkins with a big Gym exhibition. The practice' for this was long and hard. Promotion to H-.X in June. Pall of 151:28-Cavalier Capers turned out to be a big drawing card. Football again in full sway: a tie with Central for Champs gave them the title. We went traveling to Colum- bus again to the basketball tournament, but Dayton Stivers took the title from South. May Day was held inside-Plvelyn Anderson was Queen. Promotion to 12-R in January. The Senior Prom was at Portage Hotel. Class dues began to await us. and officers of the Fatal Senior Class were elected. These officers tried to otiiciate at the meetings while the arguments on the colors. rings, pins, and sweaters went on undisturbed by authority. Pins and rings arrived. Then there was the Hi-Y Censowe dance and the Class Play,-A'XYhimsy,', featuring none other than Gil Voorhees. Other similar events took their toll and gave us sleepless nights and days in study halls. The coveted promotion to 12-.X came at last. The vacation was too long until we could tell the world we were The Senior Class of January. 19230. Xotations from this term, in- clude more class meetings flightsl, more class dues, sweaters, a program by the Musical Department of South High School. the fate of the Ubroken Seniors when buying clothes to 'Ago places in : Class Day and orchestra, class will, prophecy, history. and surprises. Then came the Prom at the XV. C. C., and the Banquet. The last rites of the class were held at the Banquet. And then came the graduation of the Class of Ian. '30, .Xfter that, who knows? NI' XI!
