We were at liberty to feel as if the freshmen were not entitled to come up to our plane, but to wistfully gaze at us with their eyes magnified with desires. We didn't care. We pitied them for we realized the task they had before them. Mrs. Hudson, our brave and loyal English teacher, taught us all we ought to know, and sometimes more, a few extras thrown in. In Geometry we were deluged with planes, circles and triangles efficiently hurled at us by Mr. Day. But still we existed until we became reserved J uniors- just at the place where school was a bore and not worth much concentra- tion. TI'IE AGE or INDEPENDENCE Now we entered that independent year, the Junior stage, almost perfect with Jack Hurley, President, Alice Dunn, Vice President, Jane Lytle, Secretary, and Maudeline Prigg, Treasurer. We spent our time writing compositions of all sorts and natures, they were comedies when looked at from a natural point of view and when registered in the grade reports they appeared as tragedies. But Mrs. Hudson safely directed us through that year and at last with one great effort, we were members of the Senior Class. THE AGE OF SUPERIORITY But now we are Seniors with Kenneth Gilmore, President, Wallace Winnett, Vice President, Hilda Creighton, Secretary and Treasurer, Miss Della Plants, Class Adviser, and Kenneth Gordon, Principal. We are more awed than when we first entered as freshmen for though we have had four years of High Experience behind us, we have before us unknown worlds to conquer. We are about to become ac- quainted with the serious side of life. It is with fond recollections that our thoughts turn back to those first experiences in the earlier years of our high school career, and now that we have accomplished our task so far and finished the work set be- fore us, we pledge our allegiance to this school to which this book is dedicated Dear Old Trinity . -Ai.mNE MlLI.ER, '28.

E QQQQQQQQQQQH QQQQQQQQOLYWJPUSQQQQQQQQ HISTORY OF CLASS OF 1928 The Age of Ignorance ON September 4, 1924, a tribe of about eighty children assembled from all parts of the country, set out in the hope of finding and cup- turing knowledge. We wandered over valleys and hills and at last we reached Joint High School. As soon as possible we selected Kenneth Gilmore, President, Arthur Steed, Vice President, Ethel Breese, Secre- tary, James Mounts, Treasurer, and Miss Della Plants as class adviser. Having thus organized our class, we started on a tour of inspection and we were surrounded by unfriendly tribes, who started calling us Freshies and Greenies',. This at once started a row between the freshmen and upper classmen. Then there appeared on the scene a man, who the others addressed as Chauncey and as we later learned that it was Chauncey Ewing, the Principal, who informed us that our studies would now start. We struggled and labored over the complicated pages of a Latin book, or perhaps an algebra book, elaborately decorated with hier- oglyphics. Teachers were creatures of great importance, who when their tempers were side tracked merely meant that we were expelled or, perhaps, in danger of corporal punishment. Just about the time we became really acquainted with this strange building we received orders to get ready to move. No Spring moving parade either, and so both curious and interesting we came to Trinity surrounded by rural scenery. They began at once to remodel and to make larger, so as to accommodate the pupils more satisfactorily. We were a little bewildered and things were a little difficult at first. That feeling ot' antagonism finally wore off, and the freshmen soon became subdued under the weight of so many tiresome studies and stupendous knowledge. Then even taunts of the Seniors, no longer irritated us. In other words, we were Sophomores. THE AGE OF USOPHISTICATIONH When we entered school the second year, we immediately voted Donald Mounts, President, Wallace Winnett, Vice President, Beatrice Thompson, Secretary, and Mae Allison, Treasurer.
