IRE 'l'l!0Sl'l-IC1' CLASS HISTORY In the fall of the year of 1926, after eight years of preparation, we, the members of the class of '30, entered the doors of the Sullivan Township High School. We did not go unnoticed this first year either. Unusual as it may seem, Lundy won a football and basketball letter and Rose Eden Martin had the leading part in the Operetta. Out- side of these people, I do not remember that anyone especially distinguished himself. Most of us came to school regularly and prepared our lessons more or less faithfully, as all good Freshmen do. The next year we returned as Sophomores. Self-confident now we sent out repre- sentatives into all activities. Lundy again stood out prominently in both football and basketball. Four other members of our class, Hogue, Hanrahan, Sullivan, and Christy came out for football and won their letters. Lillie Sullivan and Rose Eden Martin were in the All School Play and Enid Newbould won first place in the Moultrie County Literary contest with her humorous reading. A number of us took part in the Operetta. Not so bad for Sophomores. Just before the close of this year our principal, Mr. Tice, had to give up school work on account of ill health, and Mr. Moore finished out the year as principal. As Juniors, we became a class to be seriously reckoned with. Our entire group took interest in all branches of high school life, and individuals attained many honors. We became an industrious class and organized ourselves under the leadership of Miss Dundas, with Mildred Chapin as President, Ralph Hanrahan, Vice Presidentg Leon Reeder, Secretaryg and Enid Newbould, Treasurer. Early in second semester we gave the play, Miss Somebody Else, with Lillie Sullivan and Leon Reeder having the leads. This was a great success. We also gave a banquet in honor of the departing Seniors, which everyone considers one of the greatest events of the school year. Enid Newbould again won first place in the Moultrie County Literary Contest in humorous readings, went on to the Okaw Valley Contest and won first place in that. The same boys, who represented us as Sophomores in football and basketball, came out again as Juniors, and to this group were added C. Freeman and Horn. That meant seven letters to the credit of the Junior Class. And now we are Seniors. Our officers for this year are: Vernon Elder, President: Robert Sullivan, Vice President, Leon Reeder, Secretary, Enid Newbould, Treasurerg and Miss Dundas again our advisor. Eight members of our class won football letters, Gramblin and Elder being new winners of letters this year. Lilly and Cogdal joined Lundy this year in winning basketball letters. Three members of our class won honors in music this year. Leon Reeder, repre- sented our High School in the All State Orchestra and was given first chair. Eleanor Hagerman and Rose Eden Martin also received places in the All-State Chorus. Ruberta Luke was a member of the All-School Debating Team. Other members of our class did their part in helping to win honors for our school. We are happy now that we have our rings. The graduating exercises will take place in a few days, and we will be the ones who will wear the caps and gowns and re- ceive what we have looked forward to for years-our high school diplomas. And thus, the record of the life of the class of '30 within the doors of the Sullivan High School is closed. -Wilma Rhoades Page Twenty-rwn
