afdfdi mimurssueem isis? Q Class History We started at the foot of the stairs as Freshmen-some 70 of us. We were of no importance at all, in sjite of the fact that we distressed the faculty and amused the upper classrnen as all Freshmen are wont to co. The less said about those days, the less our embarrassment now as dignified Seniors. Sophomores and a flight higher in the stairs of knowledge. True, we weren't the dumbest in school, but the dividing margin was exceedingly narrow. We were de'ighted by the Freshies' mistakes and never awed by the dignity of the Seniors. As yet no one except ourselves paid us the least bit of attention. Our representation in school affairs as athletics, plays, entertainments, etc., was somewhat increased. We were Juniors and just one flight from the top. Truly, we did feel somewhat mare important, but those Seniors were terribly overbeazirg. We elected our class officers and presented our class play. Our' grandest social affair, however, was the Junior-Senior banquet. Our- athletic standing was high. This was our first taste of im.portance. Seniors at last-on the last flight. Yes, we tried to be dignified, though it some- times seemed easier to put aside our dignity and become as carefree as the rest. Even though we were the aristocrats of the school we feel just a trace of regret at leaving our old S. T. H. S. this spring. We presented our class play and have published this annual and our work here is done. -Jack Finley Class Will We, the class of '29, ri ilze Sullivan Township high school in the county of Moul- trie and State of Illinois, being of sound ntind and memory and considering the un- ce.tainly of this frail and transitory school life, do therefore make, ordain, publish and d-eclare this to be our last will and testament.
