Our class has always been found loyal to the spirit of our High School. As Freshmen we were not especially different from other Freshmen. We entered with forty-seven boys and girls and quickly learned the customs of our upper classmates. During our Freshman year we had two Superintendents, Ralph Livingston and Mrs. N. H. Stuhl. With sorrow we record the death of one of our class, Calvin Decker, who was taken from us our first year. Our Sophomore year was opened with five new students and with the loss of some of our former classmates. This year we had Vernon O. Tolle as our Superintendent. It was during this year that our good characteristics began to really come forward. The class entered into many activities of the school. Our class was well represented in baseball teams, glee clubs, and cheer leaders. Many parties were staged and the class looked forward with pleasure to their Junior year. The Junior year found us more conscious of our importance in school. More pupils were found taking part in social functions. The Junior-Senior Banquet proved a great success. Mail Order Brides was our next marked triumph. Under the supervision of Mr. Bowersock. we presented the play and it was judged a complete success. Mr. Tolle again acted as Superin- tendent and much was accomplished during this year. Seniors! The height of our ambitions up to the time we reached it-and then-were we ready? At first we felt horrified and incapable since we were the oldest students in school and much depended on us but in a short time we were ready for work, This year we were very fortunate in having Mr. Jordan for our Superintendent. He has taken a special interest in our class and helped make it a success. As underclassmen we had always looked forward to the time when we could wear our class rings and now-our dreams have come true. This year especially we were proud to have our class so well represented on the Basketball Team that has proved victorious in so many games. The Class of '27 looked forward with great pride to their graduation since they were to be the first class to graduate in the new High School. We have memories of our old High School that never can be forgotten. But as we have said farewell to our old High School so must we say it to our new High School much too soon. The last events of the year will never be forgotten by any of us. The Class Play, Baccalaureate, and Commencement are all marked events in our school life that we love. Can we say that in May, 1927, the class of '27 died? It is true it ceased to exist as 'organized in Spencerville High School. But its members will always carry with them that spirit of The Class of '27.
