SENIOR CLASS HISTORY The year ninteen hundred and twenty-five is memorable for various reasons. Perhaps it has been made more outstanding in the history of the Veedersburg High School because of the fact that the class of 1930 entered the halls of that institution of learning as Eighth Graders. The class consisted of twenty-seven members, six of whom had entered ele- mentary school together. The Freshmen of 1926 were only the Eighth Graders of 1925, one year older, perhaps a little more self assured, and at least greatly increased in numbers. The class, forty-seven in number, had the distinction of being one of the largest ever to enter the high school. James Allen was chosen president, Frances McClain, vice president, and Garnet Snyder, secretary- treasurer. The class of 1930 entered its Sophomore year with a membership of thirty-five students. George Westfall, a new comer, was elected to the presidency, the vice presidency went to Gwynn McCord, and James Jack- son was given the position of secretary-treasurer. 1928 was a year of great importance in the lives of the Seniors of 1930. The Junior-Senior reception confronted the class, and only concentrated effort could make it a success. The members chose George Reed Glover, presidentg James Jackson, vice president: Gwynn McCord, secretary, and Eva Hutchins, treasurer. This selection proved one of the best ever made. The Reception was in every sense of the word- a real success. It was dur- ing this year the class lost one of its most popular members, Jamesl Jack- son. He found it necessary to move to Rensselaer after the death of his father. Since 1928 was Presidential election year several politicians were found to be among the members of the class. Certain ones whistled The Sidewalks of New York, and others California, Here I Come. The Seniors entered their last year of high school with the determina- tion to make it their best. George Reed Glover was re-elected president, Thomas ,Stucker was elected vice president, and William Madigan was made secretary-treasurer. This was the second occasion in which the boys had succeeded in electing their candidates. The class was very active in all phases of school life. Eva Hutchins, Vivian Kinneer, Gwynn McCord, George Reed Glover, and William Madi- gan, were members of the high school orchestra for four years. Thomas Stucker was with the organization for three years. Several of the girls of the class sang in the Glee Club and contributed much to its success. George Reed Glover, Kenneth Gross, and Robert Reed, were on the basket ball squad. William Madigan was high school librarian for five years. Several of the Senior girls held offices in the Girl Reserves.

SENIOR CLASS PROPHECY I relaxed easily into the deep comfort of my wing-backed chair. The day for me had been a hard one. Writing a column every day for the New York Times isn't always easy. Before me sat my Zenith radio. Idly I toyed with the dial. Suddenly on the tele-vision screen flashed a large orchestra. Scintillating rhythm jumped from the loud speaker. This evening, friends in the radio audience, you will have the oppor- tunity of seeing and hearing a company of people who have attained the highest peak of achievement in their various occupations. May we first present an orchestra which needs no introduction-Tom Stucker's Aces of Jazz. They will give their own interpretation of 'Millenburg Joys'. Blue notes, hot breaks, stomp time, and everything that goes to make up a superior dance band came out of the loud speaker. All the time he directed I could see Tom's smiling face. It is now our pleasure to introduce Robert Reed, President of Reefs Packing Company, U. S. A., Incorporated. Robert spoke briefly on how to make a success of the packing industry. We have been fortunate in securing G. R. Glover, the famous trum- peter of the Wabash Aces of Jazz, to play his own composition, 'Rhapso- dies in Red'. Glover appeared on the screen. The clear notes of a trumpet filled the room. Suddenly he reached A above high C and held it for fifteen minutes. I nearly fell out of my chair. The world's greatest surgeon and his two aides will now speak to you. As you will recall, these persons have been in active service during the last World War. To my surprise, who should appear but Gwynn McCord, Leota Lynch and Velma Morgan. They told of their experiences during the war, and expressed regret that they could not always serve their country. Again the Wabash Aces of Jazz swung into a dance melody, this time an old favorite, St. Louis Blues. After they finished, three familiar faces appeared on the tele-vision screen. They were introduced as the President's secretaries. Alberta Lynch, Frances Newman and Gladys Craig were the notables. These girls had started at the bottom, and now held the highest paid secretarial jobs in the United States. The next faces to be seen were those of Louis McClain and Bob White- head. They were introduced as the world's premier speed king and aviator. Louis told how he set the world's automobile racing record by winning
