 Senior Class Historij We, the Seniors of 1930, realize that within a short time we will have ended a very outstanding period in our lives and will have been graduated from this school which is so dear to us all, ready to enter to the different fields of life. When we meditate on our school career we can recall many pleasant memories of friends, classmates, and teachers. In September, 1926, we, seventy in all, entered T. C. H. S. for the first time and became known as “green Freshmen”. At our first class meeting we elected the following officers: President, Elizabeth Patton: Vice-President. Arthur Barnett; Secretary-Treasurer, Marie Tay; Student Council Representative, Marjorie Barth; Class Advisors, Miss Taylor and Miss Deer. Ir 1927, we entered the doors of T. C. H. S. with the reputation of “noisy Sophies” and all will agree we succeeded as such. That year we elected President, Glenn Collins; Vice-President, Marjorie Barth; Secretary-Treasurer, Wayne Gates; Student Council Representative, Elizabeth Patton; Class Advisors, Miss Frantz and Mr. Keigwin. Finding we had no class colors we chose the combination, red and white. In 1929, we entered the door of the old T. C. H. S. again but this time with more seriousness, for we had realized that there were volumes which we did not know yet. That year we elected as our officers: President, Wayne Smith; Vice-President, Ethel Birch; Secretary-Treasurer, Wayne Gates; Student Council Representative, Earl Albritton; Class Advisors, Miss Sluss and Miss Bishop. We were sponsors of the annual event, Junior-Senior reception, which proved a success. In April, under the supervision of Miss Lowe we presented the three-act comedy, “Tommy”. This year, we entered with the determination to make the most of our last year. At our first class meeting this year we elected these officers: President, Wayne Gates; Vice-President, Paul Cooper, Secretary-Treasurer Ethel Birch; Student Council Representative, Wayne Smith. Miss Webber and Miss Sluss have given helpful advice throughout the year. We are now looking forward to the presentation of our class play, “The Call of the Banshee”, on December the sixth. Throughout our school years our class has shown a great interest in all school activities. It will be with great regret that we bid our Alma Mater farewell. E. B. Page Twenty-six
