The Retrospect Junior Class History The tournament began in September in the year 1928 with a new entrant ready to contest for honors—the Freshman class. There is nothing that set this particular class apart from the others as it entered the fray; but, as the matches were played, its strength and stamina came to light. In the first match they were victorious; and, as the time for the second game came, all but a few were back with renewed enthusiasm; and this year the semi-finals have been successfully weathered. The finals are to be played but what confidence that class has! Athletes must train, and these players are no exception. They have a daily routine of study modified with a bit of glee club, orchestra, or athletics. Added to this is a short work-out every few days of Girl Reserve, Hi-Y, or Future Farmer work. Yet practical things are not lacking in this class. Some are artists; others musicians; while others are intelligent mechanics or cooks. The award in this contest is more than a cup to be placed on display. It is a erood education and a pleasant outlook on life. May you be the victors, Juniors! — MARY ELLEN MAXWELL Junior Class Poem Steadfast and steady Juniors, We have never seen you shirk. You have made a name among us By your persistent work. But your journey’s not yet finished; But if you finish as you started You’ll be a credit to Blume Hi. —FRANCES WINEMILLER Officers: Paul Jacobs..................President Delores Case ...........Vice President Emily Swink .................Secretary Winifred Harshbarger ........Treasurer

The ‘ke faospecl Sophomore Class History When our class graduated from the elementary schools, we were all seeking a position in order that we might apply our newly acquired knowledge. Most of us answered the following advertisement: WANTED: Industrious boys and girls to work in the factory of Blume High. They must start in the lowest positiion as Freshmen. There are excellent chances for advancement. The work is not easy, but it is beneficial. For all information call at the office of Mr. Idle, the manager. One bright Monday morning in September wre all presented ourselves to the factory. We were heartily welcomed and were instructed regarding our work. At first our tasks were light and easy. After a month or two they became more difficult. Though they were hard we attended them with a good will and a grim smile. At the end of nine months we were examined to see if we had fully mastered our work. All but a few were advanced to the position of Sophomore. After three months’ vacation we commenced our new duties. Though the requirements were more difficult than the former ones, we surmounted all obstacles and again found ourselves victorious. We still have two more years of strenuous labor before us. In the far distance we see a goal of success and it inspires us with a new energy. You ask what is our salary? Some think it is small: others think it priceless. Our pockets aren’t being lined with gold but our minds are being inlaid with diamonds of education, self-confidence and determination. Added to all these valuables is a small paper announcing to the world that we are properly equipped with armor to meet and subdue all the battles and trials of life. —ROSEMARY HEIL Sophomore Class Poem Two years have passed Since you came, But in that time You’ve gained great fame. You’ve always been eager And willing to learn, The hardest tasks You never spurned. We can well feel proud Of a class like you, Your deeds are many Your faults are few. Set high your goal And then proceed; By faithful work You will succeed. —FRANCES WINEMILLER Officers: Roland Swonguer, President Eugene Webb, Vice President Elizabeth Cartmell, Secretary Rosalie Werst, Treasurer
