l . Ill-T353 CLASS HISTORY Though we leave your portals we'll remember you. This line from the school song aptly describes the sentiments of the class of 1929 on graduation day. Among our memories of the many things that go to make up school life is that of thefine class to which we have had the privilege of belonging. Doubtless some of us still remember our first assembly, where we met and became ac- quainted with our faculty. Also we might recall the manner in which the class first was divided-how we were ordered to report to either Mr. Byrn or Miss Reynolds as home room teachersg and when Monday morning came it was found that all of the boys had re- ported to Mr. Byrn and all of the girls to Miss Reynolds, and finally how both home rooms voted unanimously to stay as they were. The first three years of our class life is mostly a history of its activities. Though there were two classes above us we had a large hand in forming school traditions and activities. We helped organize and place members on the Broadcaster, Student Council, and Orchestra. The boys won the interclass basket- ball and baseball titles. A school scout troop and the Girls' Athletic Association also came into being during that teeming first year. The next year we followed, more or less, along the lines set during the first year. A new home room for girls was formed with Mrs. Solve at the head. The Zimmerman Citizen- ship and Athletic Cups were donated. Dr. Solve's home room won the Citizenship Cup, while the Purples obtained possession of the Athletic Trophy. The boys again won interclass basketball and baseball. It was during this year that the beautiful custom of singing Christ- mas carols on the last day of school in the outgoing year was originated. In the fall of 1927 we were Sophomores and members of the Senior high school. The school's First basketball team was started. On it were several members of our class, including Bob Cummings who captained this aggregation. After losing a majority of its scheduled games, the team hit its stride and won both District and Regional Tourna- ments. ' As Juniors the class began to function as a unit. The matter of class rings was cleared up after considerable debate. Lavender and green were chosen as the class colors. A majority of the members of the basketball team were juniors. The team again won Dis- trict and Regional titles and got into the Semi-finals of the State Championship. V In the spring Green Stockings was chosen as the class play. The play was an entire success from both the artistic and financial ends. At the close of the junior year we gave the graduating class the annual Junior-Senior Dance. After four years and four hundred words of writing, we have finally arrived at our Senior year. The first semester passed quietly and swiftly until attention was turned to basketball. This year with nine-tenths of the team composed of seniors, U. High won six- teen out of seventeen games played. Then came the Senior play A Prince There Was which was even better than Green Stockings in the opinion of the most competent judges. After much wrangling we arranged the details of Commencement, elected Class .Day officers, the staff of Nunc Dimittis, and held mock elections. The second annual basketball ban- quet was held and as added guests of honor the debating squad attended. Senior Privilege Day was enjoyed by all as was the Junior-Senior Dance. And now we have reached the end of the trail. The class which made this history is soon to be dismissed for the last time, never to be reassembled. And since we started with a quotation from the school song we shall finish in the same way. No matter where our paths lead in the future, we will always remember that We are the children of the Purple and the Gold. E -...... 17 l'x
