VVe are the last class to graduate from Senior High without the privilege of first attending Junior High as a junior High. lVIaybe we have missed something by our failure to participate in the affairs of that separate organization, but we do not think so. Our early history is rather obscure. ln September 1927, we began our High School career with over two hundred members. Since then we have passed through all stages of a student. - We are typical. As Freshmen, we do nothing of note. Some of our members win positions on the teams and lay foundations for future athletic careers. VVe all get lost, fooled, ridiculed, spanked-to put it mildly-looked down upon-in short, we get all that the usually green or unusually green Freshmen get. Four years-will it ever end? But now, donit try to teach us anything-we're Sophomores-and do we know our stuff? just ask us! We are the first Sophomore class to enter the new Senior High School. Here we are just about equal to the upper classmen because they donit know any more about the building than we do. Our Sophomore year we win the in- terclass basketball championship. We certainly are wise in these days-true Sopho- moresl I l Then we pass the meridian and enter the upper half. Soon after school opens. our first class meeting is called. We get a taste of class government. VVe elect offi- cers, pick class colors, flower, motto, banner, pennants, emblems, rings and pins. VVe win the prize Bond's Drug Store offered to High School classes. During this year a subtle change takes place--we become more reserved, serious-at least we try to bel We admit that maybe there is something which we did not know. Time seems to have sped by on wings. Three-fourths of our school life behind usl l l lt isn't so long after all-here we are Seniors already. Class business begins anew, we make plans for graduation, announcements, cards, caps and gowns, and so forth, the class sells candy at the gamesg we win the interclass championship again, we de- cide upon what we'll do when we graduate. And what's this? Commencement! And we'll go Together, hand in hand, out there, Into the waste we know not. ll I . lilszl 1 'lub N ,. lg! lllill I. ,u 'rlgllll ulill ' lliilll Gallia l ilell fs:.lltl'f 'll V al ill l :lvl 'Z
