FRESHMAN CLASS HISTORY On September 2, 1929. eleven Freshmen entered the Warrensburg Community High School. As usual, we were a quiet group of people, until we became acquainted with the other students. We held a class meeting early in the year and elected the following officers: president, Orville Sheneman; vice-president. Margaret Faith; secretary-treasurer, Ann Noel. After much debating, we chose Miss Bell to act as our class advisor, for we knew- that we would encounter many difficulties, where we would need lots of advice and plenty of assistance. We had a hard time deciding on class colors, hut, finally, green and white were chosen, with the lily of the valley as our class flower, and “Green, hut growing” for our class motto. On September 26, the Sophomores gave us a barnyard party and initiated us into the school affairs. Orville Sheneman.

SOPHOMORE CLASS HISTORY On the morning of September 3, 1928, forty-four boys and girls entered the doors of the W. C. H. S. They were rather meek and frightened, but soon they became accustomed to their surroundings and with the help of the Freshman-Sophomore party they began the year with a more confident feeling. The opening of the year 1929 was much different. The members of the class knew what they were to do and were eager to begin. With the help of Mr. Steninger, our advisor, the following officers were elected: president, Virginia Dickerson; vice-president, Merle Major; secretary, William Winters; treasurer, Frankie Janvrin. Throughout the year we were well represented in all school activities. Many of the boys went out for basketball, others joined the Glee Club, and several are on the Cardinal Staff. Since we have the largest class in school, at present, it is only proper that we should hope to develop some outstanding characters from it, in the years to come. Virginia Dickerson. -25-

 —THE CARDINAL' ACTIVITIES “Sometimes when going along a country lane, you may see a brilliant flash of red or hear a melodious burst of song. That will be the Cardinal, for he is as scarlet as his name implies, and his song is as distinctive as his coat is beautiful “He is a frolicsome creature, and seems to have never a care. How could the coming of Spring with all her beauty be complete without the gay, active little Cardinal?” -2 7
