IAN SENIOR CLASS HISTORY Four years ago last September, we, the Class of 1929, hopefully started our high school career. According to the unwritten law of the school we were of the usual “green”. But after due time we were able to traverse the halls without the assistance of Mr. Collins or the upper classmen. Ninety-five assembled at our first meeting, and we elected Maude Hine, President; Norton Payne, Vice-President; Mary Warren Secretary-Treasurer; and Dorris Rose, Representative. We chose for our class motto: “Labor conquers all things.” For our class colors we chose silver and blue. We succeeded in qualifying as “noisy sophomores”. This year we elected Dale Roberts, President; Maude Hine, Vice-President; Lois Weatherford, Secretary-Treasurer; Billy Flack, Representative. As Juniors, we entered with more thoughtful and more sedate faces, knowing that half of our high school days were over. Our officers were as follows: Ervin Real, President; Lois Weatherford, Vice-President; Norton Payne, Secretary-Treasurer; Ed Schultz, Representative. This year we were able to display our dramatic talent. We presented, in Mai'ch, “The Patsy,” as our class play. We were hosts, as usual, to the Senior class at the annual reception. It was a huge success in spite of all the souvenirs we left the Odd Fellows. We entered this fall with a determination to make the best of our last year in our dear old high. We elected for our officers this year Norton Payne, President; Ed Schultz, Vice-President; Wendell Warren, Secretary-Treasurer; Maude Hine, Representative. Our class advisers, Miss Lowe and Miss Webber, have given very helpful advice throughout the year. We are very grateful to them for their services. For our class play we presented “Stop Thief”. Miss Lowe, the coach, was responsible for much of its success. Also we are proud of the ability shown by the cast. Last, but by no means least, we are proud of the records made by our athletes. Our class was well represented on the Championship Football Team. With the exception of one, all members of the basketball team were Seniors. Although they were not champions, they made a good showing for the old Gold and Black. During our four years in high school all our members have shown much interest in all of the school activities. It is indeed with sad hearts that we bid farewell to our Alma Mater. We find on looking back over our high school days, that the joys have far outnumbered the tasks. We have formed many valuable friendships during our high school days among both students and teachers. May success ever be with you, T. C. H. S. M. K. R. and M. R. S. Page twenty-nine
