■■■■ THE ECHO, ’27 History of Class of ’28 This is Radio Station T. C. H. S. broadcasting the history of the Class of ’28. Two years ago last September we entered as green fresh- ies. Then we organized our class with Miss Kirkwood as class adviser; Raymond Hodgson as President; Junious May of Vice-President, and Lucille Harmon as Secretary and Treasurer. During the basketball season the president turned the duties of his office over to the Vice- President. We were initiated by the Sophomores in due time, later to win the good will of all upper classmen by entertaining them royally at a party. Valentine Day found us at a party to which each member had invited one guest. Our class was represented in athletics by Ray- mond Hodgson, Junious May, and Raymond Thomas; in literary activ- ties by Virginia May, Leonard Unsicker, Arnold Strunk, Junious May, Lillis Hinman and Alice Becker. The class operated a refreshment stand on the school ground at the Grade County Meet, entertained by Tremont that year. After a pleasant vacation we were all pleased to reenter school as Sophomores. Our class was minus two former members now. But our depleted ranks were refilled by Raymond Riggenbach and Leslie Maurer from Pekin High. Again we organized our class with Miss Kirkwood as class adviser. Leonard Unsicker was now chosen Pres- ident; Viola Storrer, Vice-President, and Virginia May, Secretary and Treasurer. We soon initiated the Freshmen in great style and they returned the favor by entertaining us at a Hallowe’en party. Our class was represented by Raymond Hodgson, Albert Stuber and Junious May in athletics during the season. Alice Becker, Virginia May, Mary Cody, Lillis Hinman, Arnold Strunk, Leonard Unsicker and Junious May were the members of our class to gain prominence in literary activities. Our class also had the honor of furnishing the yell leaders—Lillis Hinman and Junious May. The year closed with a farewell party to our class adviser and a picnic at Pekin Park. When school opened again last September, we were minus two more members, Mary Cody and Leslie Maurer. Our class was soon organized with Mrs. Getz as class adviser, David Taylor as Vice-Pres- ident, and Viola Storrer as Secretary and Treasurer. Again our class shared a prominent part in all of the school activ- ities. Raymond Riggenbach, Raymond Hodgson, Albert Stuber, and Junious May represented us in athletics. In literary activities were found Leonard, Arnold, Alice, Virginia and Viola. In musical activities were heard Alice, Lillis, Harold, Albert, Arnold, Leonard and David. Tn the Domestic Science Club we claimed Mildred, Alberta, and Viola. During the season Raymond Hodgson won the great distinction of being the all-star center in four basketball tournaments. Our class again pro- vided the yell leaders, Lillis Hinman and Junious May. On Aprd first we successfully staged our first play, “Come Out of the Kitchen. Our aim is to make Tremont proud of its Class of 1028, and we hope that our noble ambition may be f ulfilled. Atter a few months of vacation, we hope to take our place as Seniors with this lofty puipose before us. Patfe Twenty-five
