Page Twelve THE SWASTIKIAN 19 2 9 JUNIORS In September, 1926, sixty-one Frosh entered the old School building. In March they had a few days’ vacation, in which they moved the necessary school equipment to temporary quarters near Fountain Square. Pupils watched the workmen destroy the old building and erect the new one during the next few weeks. Annabel Brandon, Clara Emerick, Bonita Sargent, Sarah Starr, Carrie Trittschuh, Edson Mathews and Gale Shatto left during the first year. Leona Fritz died December 28, 1926. The next Autumn saw these helping to initiate the new freshmen and the newly married Faculty members. On Hallowe’en they enjoyed a masque party at the home of Ethel Brandon. On January 3, along with the others, they entered the new school, which was quite in contrast with the old one. At the end of the year they enjoyed a picnic at Edgewater Park. Later in the day they went to Evergreen. From there some came home, but the remainder of the crowd went to Weaver’s Grove, and spent a most enjoyable evening. The Class of ’30 organized November 1, when they elected the following officers: President, Marion Trittschuh; Vice-President, Orlan Oliver; Secretary, Eva Fiebiger; Treasurer, John Hough. At a meeting, called to order November 10, by the president, the Junior Class decided to put out an annual. Miss A. M. Jones was Faculty adviser. The Editorial staff was appointed by Mr. James Garner. In October, a wiener roast was held at Harman’s farm. Mr. Garner, Miss Jones and Miss Barnhart chaperoned the affair. Luck was with the Juniors in the Inter-Class Basketball tournament, for both teams won. To celebrate, they arranged a coasting and skating party. When the day came for it, the temperature was 5 degrees below zero. However, about half of the class, Miss Jones and Mr. Garner attended. Juniors selected a yellow gold class ring with a red stone on which is their emblem in gold. After several disputes, the class decided upon red and white as Class Colors. A number of profitable candy sales were conducted at the school during the year, as well as athletic games.
