SaaaaiiiaaaiiaaiaiaaaziJam017170 Q -5 :ummmsmmmmmmmmmssnssms CLASS HISTORY Four years ago the class of 1928 entered Sterling High School with high ambitions. We expected great things from Sterling High School. We elected Jack Raymond President, Harold Eshleman Vice President, Virginia Nelms Sec- retary, and Frances Clapp Treasurer, all of whom helped greatly in carrying the class through that first trying year. We began our second year by electing Harold Eshleman President, Gladys Clark Vice President, Lloyd Hauger Secretary, and Priscilla Remington Treasurer. Wicth this crew of trust-worthy officers we completed one more lap in our race of Li e. At the beginning of our Junior year we again showed wise judgment in the choice of our oflicers as follows: George Robinson President, Jack Wyatt Vice President, Priscilla Remington Secretary, and Lloyd Harris Treasurer. The great success of the Junior-Senior Prom was largly due to the capability of this foursome and their committees. To pilot us through our Senior year we elected Lloyd Harris as President, who has given his whole-hearted attention to the advancement of the class, while Dean Brooks as Vice President, Helen Hults as Treasurer, and Ruth Powers as Secretary have loyally suported him. As soon as our class entered Sterling High School we learned to love and rc- spect our our Alma Mater, we become a part of her life, full of the spirit of activity, and in this year of our graduation, our class includes the leaders in all school activities. 728 has contributed largely to athletics. This class boasts among its mem- bers athletes of the highest type, bearing the marks of true sportsmanship. No previous class has produced a finer group of boys. Lack of space will not permit the mention of all the athletes to whom honor is due, but special mention should be made of Ralph Bawden, basket-ball captain, Harold Eshleman, foot-ball captain, and Bernard Mitchell, field and track captain for 1928, who was chosen as half-back on the second all-state high school team, an honor that comes to few. But this class excels in other lines besides athletics. Dramaties have played a big part in the make-up of this Senior Class as has been shown in the great success of the plays undertaken. Fashion, or Life in New York in 1845 pre- sented by this class as Juniors was one of the very best examples of dramatic art that Sterling has witnessed in high school productions. Then 'tThe Copper- head,7' a drama of American Patriotism, was presented as the Senior play, a fine production which will go down in high school history as a very ambitious and withal successful dramatic accomplishment. To add to the honors previously named concerning this class, mention should be made of the organization of a journalism class made up of Juniors. From this class a newspaper staff was produced that very capably displayed their literary ability and training by publishing five issues of the Blue and Gold Newsl' a little paper filled with interesting accounts of school events. , As in athletics and dramatics this class has contributed to such organizations as the band, uke club, glee clubs, and orchestra, all of which have played an im- portant part in the production of plays, operettas, and pageants. We will not forget our various parties and picnics amid joy and laughter, our Hallowe'en frolic with ghosts, pumpkins, owls, and fortune teller, our Senior luncheons abounding with good food and a dance following, our Junior-Senior Prom amid flowers, butterflies, and balloons, our rousing, enthusiastic pep-meet- tings, our heart-breaking defeats, and our glorious victories. Now that this class, the largest in the history of the school, numbering ninety- two, is about to leave the friendly halls of S .H. S. we know that our Alma Mater will always be interested in our future endeavors and that her influence will help to guide our destinies through life. -R. K. P.
