[ BzaSSaESBS THE WALNUT TREE HISTORY OF THE CLASS OF ’29 In September, 1925, the doors of W. H. S. opened and allowed to enter forty-two more Freshmen. Eighteen of these were from the Walnut Grade School and so had an advantage of being a little better acquainted with the High School and its imposing halls. Under the leadership of Bernice Svveet-narn and Imogene Ross they valiantly struggled through the first year; big and little, tall and short alike doing his bit. The next September thirty-nine of these returned, eager to begin where they had left off the year before and to try harder than ever. Some sprang forward in great bounds, others slowly but steadily worked towards the top until a last with Elvin Fordham and Jeff Lrvey as leaders they could announce to the world that they were gaining some knowledge and learning, and were ready to become Juniors. Thirty returned to the Junior ranks and helped to chose Jeff Livey and Inn White as their captains for the year. They did their best with the help of the Class to live up to their seat of honor and with credit they put on their plays. I hey sponsored the Lyceum Course and entertained the Seniors at the Junior-Senior Banquet. Of this group which had finally attained the lofty and dignified position of Seniors, only one failed to return for the last year together in high school. Elvin Fordham and Edna Glaze were chosen leaders for the final year and all helped to keep the Senior place of honor in the school. For one reason or another a few dropped from the ranks and in sorrow we lost the one who was most dear to all of us. Twenty-five of the forty-two “Freshies” of ’25 approached the threshold,—Graduation, and the gateway to success in life having performed those duties required of Seniors and feeling confident that each could at least try to win a bit of that success in the world.
