lnlunnlywgp gnggmguuulnul EULOGY HEN THE CLASS OF '27 first entered Ventura High School four years ago it numbered about eighty-five and was a rather unknowing but hopeful band of children. lVe elected Carl Bates for our president during the first year and succeeded in being Freshmen quite creditable. The following year our class Was practically the same in size but its memberskwere much wiser. Janice Pidduck was chosen as leader to steer us through our age of Sophomorism. It was about this time that our classmates were beginning to bravely mingle with the omnipotent upperclassmen and to take an efficient part i11 school activities. . In August, nineteen twenty-five, we again returned to the old school and realized that we ourselves had new reached that exalted up- perclassman state. Early we selected a leader, Fred Baker, and again plunged into the year's work. There were not only lessons. for all to learng-but athletic teams, glee clubs, literary staffs and other things in which to participate, and into all of these the Juniors found their way. Too, there was the Annual Junior reception to be given by our class in honor of the Seniors, and this important occasion was undertaken and carried out with great effectiveness. Upon reaching the Senior age, we found our numbers had shrunk to sixty-three. We again chose Fred Baker our president and started out to be Seniors indeed. Now we have completed our fourth, last and also best year in this school and as we look back to August, 1923, we can see how much we have accomplished, how much we have learned and how much those four years will always mean to us. Many of our fellow-classmen have brought honor to our ranks during this year and every one of our undertakings-and they have been many-have been a. credit to us. Consequently our class loya.lty is very great and we who graduate feel the great joy of achievement. 5 J. PIDDUOK, '27, Secretary lllIIIIllIl 1 9 2 7 f'm'llIlllIllIll lllllllllllllllllll Fifteen :SV
