-I-I-I-I-l-l.l.l-I-I l-l-l-l-l-I-l-l-I-l- Senior Class History OR the last time the Class of '29 passes through the corridors of Spencerville High School. Before it stands the future. It was in September, 1925, that eighty-six bashful children entered the Freshman Class. At the first class meeting the following officers were elected: President, Veryl Cisco, Vice President, Jeanette Albright, Secretary, Charles Foster, Treasurer, Martha jane Neidhardtg and Reporter, Blanche Purdy. Under the supervision of Miss Sanborn,much progress was made by the Freshmen. Many members of the class were found in the glee clubs, orchestra, and on the basketball and baseball teams. We were very proud when our basketball team won the inter- class tournament. The second year found us advanced to the rank of sophomores. During the year we had several weiner roasts. A bob sled party was enjoyed at the home of Doris Carey. To lead us we chose Donald Sawmiller, Presidentg Blanche Wolfe, Vice-President, Charles Foster, Secretary, Harry Barnes, Treasurer, and Blanche Purdy, Reporter. As Juniors, the Class of '29 entered upon a year of enterprise. The officers, who made possible the great success of the year, were: President, Hubert Cvreeng Vice Presient, Stanley Zimmerman, Secretary, Kathryn Parrottg Treasurer, Jeanette Albright, and Reporter, Blanche Purdy. We helped much to the success of the basketball and baseball teams. Excellent dramatic ability was displayed in the presentation of The Deacon. The characters were well chosen and the play was enjoyed by all. The reception we gave for the seniors was given a great amount of praise. Alas! We are now seniors. The happiest days of a lifetime must come to an end. For our last year we have chosen the following to represent the class: President, Merle Hallerg Vice President, Robert Miller, Secretary, Burlin Wright, Treasurer, Howard Steiger, and Reporter, Blanche Purdy. This year has been a great success. We have had many social gatherings. Under the management of the seniors, the annual Echoes has been enlarged and improved. The senior play, The Charm School, was a great success. Now, graduation and commencement time is here, the termination of life in Spencerville High, but the beginning of a greater life-new tasks and a life of broader views. The seniors alone realize what they are leaving behind ---------- the friendships, the heartaches, the smiles, the tears, the good times, and the happiness of it all. May we never forget them, but instead may the memory be an ever- lasting inspiration for us to do better things, when we tackle the many unknown problems that lie before us. Let us tarry a moment before we take our place among the alumni, to cast one last look behind, to bid thee, Old School, farewell! 12
