1927 4- THE SWISSVALIAN .L 1927 January Senior Class OFFICERS President . . . .......... .... D on Madigan Secretary . . . ,,... Lois Schultz Treasurer .. .... George Bortree History To many probably little has been seen or heard of our small but talented class. However, we have turned out to be a class well represented in sports, music, art, and the social activities of the school. In january 1923, forty-two of us entered Swissvale High. Our hrst president was Bill Reynolds who faithfully worked and served us until our junior year when the honor was turned over to Don Madigan. But 1 am prcgnsssing too rapidly. In our Sophomore year we held a party in Room 5, where everyone enjoyed himself playing such games as Farmer in the Dell , '1X?7ink , and Drop the Handkerchiefn. In our junior year we concentrated all our energies on the Prom , It was a very elaborate affair cf heliotrope and light green, and satisfied not only ourselves but the honor guests, the Senior Class of january, 1926. Now cur Senior year is ended. It has been a busy and eventful one. Our long- looked-for rings arrived, exams passed over us without fatality, the senior play set a new standard in histrionic achievements, the Prom left us breathless, and class night and Commencement with nothing more to be desired. In closing we wish to express our sincere thanks and appreciation to the Faculty and members of the Swissvale School Board. We also give our best wishes for the success and happiness of the june Class of 1927. Lois Schultz '27. Il0l
