X SSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS, The Spectator SSSSSSSSSSSSS.'SSSSSSSSSSSSSS I o CLASS HISTORY 1928-1932 On that eventful morning, September 6, 1928, two hundred and thirty-eight freshmen prepared to enter Vanderg.ift High School. How it hurts me to remind you, O fellow classmates, of that first year! Hut we deserve credit because we went through with a brave front. The first thing we did was to elect class officers: President: Helen Maxwell Vice President: Martha Rearick Secretary: Elizabeth Milliron Treasurer: Mary Elizabeth Eisaman About the same time we chose Blue and Gold as our class colors. The S. P. Q. R. Latin Club was a new club which several of our members helped to form. We were especially proud of our gills who excelled in basketball. The year ended successfully with the Freshman-Sophomore party. Our Sophomore year was rather a quiet and uneventful one. We elected our class officers : President: James Lace Vice President: Helen Maxwell Sec etary-Treasurer: Betty Davis Historian: Helen Rising Several of our members took part in the play “Jerry of Jericho Road. ’ Through the efforts of Algebra II students, a Math Club was organized under the name X.Y.Z. According to the Sophomores' viewpoint, our party with the Freshmen was a success. We were very enthusiastic during our Junior year because we had a goal to reach—Seniors! As soon as possible we organized and selected as our class officers: President: Victor Andrulonis Secretary: Ann Logero Vice President: Helen Maxwell Treasurer: Jack Owens This year our class colors were changed to Black and White. We then or-dered caps, pennants, and emblems. The Junior-Senior Prom ended our year. Next year we would come back as Seniors! We are now Seniors and our goal has been reached. The class has one hundred and twenty-five members. We finally settled down and organized, choosing as our class officers: Secretary: Doris Yount President: Milton Rubin Vice President: Albert Jesser Treasurer: Helen Maxwell We held other meetings in order to choose such things as our rings, pins, and pictures. Besides having our Junior-Senior Prom, a school dance was held in order to raise money for the Spectator. So ends our four years. We are sorry to go and with a sad heart we say goodbye to teachers and pupils. We hereby turn our responsibility over to the next class wishing them success. Helen Rising, Historian.
