I ldmeilhmnsl peurilt Class History In the fall of 1927 about 81 students entered Sullivan Township High School as Freshmen. Most of us had quite a time getting to the right room at the right time and some of us felt very foolish when, upon walking calmly into a class room ready to recite on a well-prepared lesson, we were kindly told by the teacher that we were in the wrong recitation room. But after the first few weeks, we became settled and felt more confident of ourselves, especially when four Freshmen girls, Helen Gauger, Helen Cummins, Alberta Harsh and Dorothy Blackwell were selected for the Girls' Glee Club. Nor was the Freshman Class left out in Athletics. Don Pearson won a place on both the football and basketball teams and became one of the best players on both teams. Thus we ended our Freshman year with a few of the many honors. The following year we came back as Sophomores prepared to take part in all the activities. We organized our class with Don Pearson as President, Dorothy Wood Vice President, and Vella Freese, Secretary-Treasurer. In addition to the four girls in the Glee Club, our class was represented in the Boys' Glee Club by Samuel Harsh- man, Adrian Sears. Zenneth Ward, Donald Pearson and Joe McLaughlin. Helen Gauger won second place in vocal solo and Helen Cummins second place in piano solo in the Moultrie County Musical Contest. Helen Cummins, Helen Gauger, and Joe McLaughlin received parts in the All-School Play, Clarence Helen Cummins was elected Home-Coming Queen. Pearson again made both teams. We were also represented in football by Homer Hoskins and in basketball by John Smith. Dorothy Wood and Alberta Harsh were elected cheer leaders. Our officers during the Junior year were Joe McLaughlin, President, Helen Cum- mins, Vice Presidentg and Vella Freese, Secretary-Treasurer. Now that we were Juniors. we looked forward to the rrany Junior activities, most important among these being the Junior Play, A Lucky Break with Helen Cummins and Joe McLaughlin playing the leading parts, and the Junior-Senior Banquet given in honor of the de- parting' Seniors, which was the crowning event of this year. In the County Musical and Literary Contest Helen Cummins won first place in Dramatic Reading and Helen Gauger again received second place in vocal solo. Helen Gauger, soprano, and Alberta Harsh, alto, were entries in the first State Chorus, which met at Cham- paign. Our class was represented in basketball by Bernard Brumfield, Don Pearson, having left at the close of the Sophomore year. Homer Hoskins, Burnell Moore, Zen- neth Ward, and Bernard Brumfield won football letters. And now we are Seniors. There are about 41 of us this year. Our officers arc William McKown, Presidentg Floyd Finley, Vice Presidentg Helen Cumrrins, Treasur- er, and Vella Frecse, Secretary, with Miss Wilscn as our class advisor. Helen Gauger, Alberta Harsh and Joe McLaughlin went to Champaign this year as entries in the State Chorus. This was Helen's and Alberta's second year in this Chorus. We have a very good representation in all athletics this year. We have received our rings and are well pleased with them. We are looking for- ward to the time when we will receive our long-hoped for High School Diplomas and we will leave dear old S. T. H. S. with happy rcmencbrances of the good old days we spent inside its walls and cf the teachers and principals with whom we have spent so many happy and, we hope, fruitful days. And thus we close our Class History. -Alberta Harsh Page Twen ty-one
