F .,.s' 'N l 9 ku. ed L1 school. The cage and grid teams were composed of some members of our class. Several from our number made the track squad. We were a group of students who had no desire to lag behind: we wanted to do something worth while for our alma mater. At last the long hoped for vacation came and we gayly bade our teachers a fond adieu, to return after three months as Juniors. How proud we were as we entered the auditorium to elect our first class officers. Mr. Lubold spoke to us a few minutes on the importance of electing efficient representatives. The election resulted with Robert Sica as Presidentg Jeanne Bennett, Vice Presidentg Emily Litman, Secretaryg Charles Rutter, Treasurerg William Heyser, Sgt-at-Arms. Soon afterward another meeting was called to plan for our first party. Of course we were excited. We had been looking forward to this event since we first entered the high school, and at last our vision became a reality. Well, it is needless to say that the party was a great success. The next great event in our Junior year was the ordering of our class jewelry. After weeks and weeks of waiting, which seemed like months, these coveted ornaments arrived. We were unusually proud not only because they stood for the U. H. S. and for the class of 28, but also because they seemed to us by far the most beautiful rings and pins that a class had ever bought. As Juniors many of us aspired to athletic recognition, some tested their eloquence on the debating teams while the MAROON AND WHITE claimed several prominent members of our class. The glorious year came at last. After a seemingly terrible grind we were able to call ourselves Seniors. . As Freshmen we were grassy and new As Sophomores we were sassy and grew As Juniors we were brassy and blew A As Seniors we were classy and knew. We glanced over the world from the heights. We owned the school and graced it with our presence. A halo of learning and knowledge encircled our 'Illicit class election this year was by far more interesting than the preceding one. Political advertisements were pasted hither and thither and the candidates brought, a.ll their strategy into play. The election re- sults were: Emeric Dusic, Presidentg Daniel Martin. Vice President 3 Jeanne Bennett, Secretary g John Cosgrove, Treasurerg Frank Tencate, Sgt-at-Arms. Preparations were made at once for the Senior Masquerade Dance which was put over with the usual class pep. Our next social function was a Valentine Dance to which the entire school was invited. Senior Day was held on May 25 which was the last day we were asked to attend school. What a nice group of little boys and girls we were! We presented our last assembly program that morning and it was one that will long be remembered by both the participants and by the audience. One event will remain with us during all our lives-Commencement. Our four years of high school life weren't a lifetime after all. They were just four short years, gone but not forgotten. It is only now that we real- ize what it really means to graduate. We tried to do our bestg one can do no more. We know that those who are about to follow will assume our work just where we were forced to leave-giving their utmost for the glory and honor of the U. H. S. 29d 'Tl f 'N f X , I 5 I 6 x I O 2

It was?- not for two months after the term had commenced, however, that the an4fl nex actually formed an educational unit of the U. H. S. ll The first two months of school we were taught in the gymnasium, sitting on some remarkably hard benches. These also had their merit as they maintained an air of wakefulness during the classes. No one was able to even consider the possibility of sleeping. As soon as we becafheaccustomed to our surroundings we were sum- moned to a meeting in the auditorium by Mr. Lubold who wa.s 'then making his initial appearance in the U. Mr. Lubold told us what he expected from our class and we feel that he wasnot disappointed: that he felt his ezgpgctations were fulfilled when he handed' out the diplomas on June 1, 1 2 . , ' As freshmen we were teased and scorned by the Sophomores, but we did not heed this for we knew that our would come.
