ILLUSTRATED NEws-1930 showed the new Freshies the Assembly and other places that had become so familiar to us. Ruth McCaslin as President, joe Gerdes as Vice-President, Jack Hill as Secretary, and George Huber as Treasurer, proved a very able set of officers. A ring committee was appointed and when they showed us the sample of the one they had chosen we pronounced it the prettiest yet. We launched upon our third happy year in High School with the following officers elected: Floyd Higby, President, Genevieve Clark, Vice-President, Charles Conner, Secretary, and Leo Schneider, Treasurer. Cut rings came early in the year, and with them on our fingers we felt indeed a Class. Our junior year ended with a modernistic Prom given for the Seniors. The class contributed faithfully in making this function a success. And then, almost before we could realize it, we found ourselves in the position to which we had looked forward since we were Freshmen- that of being Seniors in our own room under the guidance of our Senior Mother, Miss Hershey. Our President, Lyle Snavely, and his helpers, Barbara Beckwith, Vice-President, Evelyn Swingley, Secretary, and Charles Conner, Treasurer, have been very loyal in leading us through our last and busiest year in S. H. S. The class of '30 has been well represented in all forms of athletics. Many of our number have taken part in the Latin plays, Glee Club programs, and the band and orchestra. Merton of the Movies , presented by the Dramatic Club, as our Senior play, together with The King's Englishn given at the Hallowe'en Frolic in 1929 and The lost Silk Hat given at the Prom of the same year show that we are not lacking in dramatic talent. ' Memories of the Hkidl' party at which the Faculty so delightfully entertained us, our Hallowe'en Frolic, luncheons, and our Prom will keep our Senior days dear in our hearts. Another memorable feature of our High School days is the tulip and peony bulbs Mr. Walter Stager so kindly presented us. We have only a few more weeks until Commencement and then we shall go each our own way, with our Freshman ambitions strengthened by our experience in S. H. S., to find our place in the sun. ni, '23 Y , , Seniors EUGENE Rock THOMPSON WYLIE U A U Tom BTICICS Football 3, 4, Intramural 3, 4g Prom Com- Music 1, Cvlee Club 3, Dramatic Club 3, 4g mittee 3, S-Club 3. 45 Class Sec'y-Treasurer 35 Frollc Committee 4. 4' Hi-Y Club 1, Z, 3, 43 Dramatic Club 3, 4.

'33'23 i? Senior Class History The class of '30 entered the halls of Sterling Township High School four years ago'in our pursuit of higher education, ambitious and fondly believing we were the one class that was the exception to the rule that all Freshies are green. We approached those in authority with fear and trembling, but we soon learned that they were our friends. To lead us through our first year in High School we wisely chose Lyle Eshleman, President, Charles Conner, VicefPresidentg Ruth lV1cCaslin, Secretary, and Harold Haldeman, Treasurer. Our first class picnic was held at Sinnissippi heights. Other picnics were held at Lowell Park, and though it might rain and rain Cas it did on our Sophomore picnicj nothing could dampen our spirits on these occasions. When we became Sophomores and were seated in front of Miss Stoddard's desk, how busy we were and how important we felt! Very condescendingly we Page Twenty-sixi
