PRIMAUS I928 Class Historq The good ship Twenty Eight looked rather forlorn and forsaken, but very sturdy and enthusiastic as it took flight way back in the autumn -of 1924. Despite the fact that we seemed forlorn and forsaken, we were not despondent, but very ambitious and enthusiastic. Do you remember how timid, yet how brave we were as we hopped off on the long and toilsome adventure of founding a high school? But then, We had a very capable pilot in Principal Teterg and he, in turn, had two efficient co-workers in Misses Marion Baetz and Alice jones, so wthe task was made much easier for the occupants of dear old Twenty Eight. The first thing we did was organize our class. We found that we had in our midst eighty-one young people forty-five of whom were resi- dents of West Hazleton and thirty-six of whom were non-residents, -coming from M'cAdoo, Audenried, Tresckow, Conyngham, and Syberts- ville. We elected as our officers persons who-m We knew were able to plan our flight and guide us successfully through the first lap of our journey. They were: President, Anthony Prysbeckg Vice President, Howard Shirmerg Secretary, Arline Nenstielg and Treasurer, Etta Fox. Before we were actually started on our journey we discovered to our sorrow that we did not have in our possession a musical instrument to help us sing the praises of our high school. We immediately set to work to earn enough money to purchase a piano. This was accomplished by means o fdonations from business men, bake sales, and social events. Our first social event was a Masquerade Party held in October 1924. Amdi witches, ghosts, clowns, and spooks, the class of 'iTwenty Eight made their debut into society. VV e finally acquired enough nerve to conduct a Freshman Hop . The place in which it was held was Hersker's Hall, and the time Febru- ary. It was a great success, if it can be said that Freshmen ever reach that high pinnacle. ' A concert and play were held late in the term at the Lutheran Church. The Girls' Glee Club and the orchestra made their first appear- ance under the direction of Miss Margaret Tressler, Supervisor of Music. The play, An Economical Boomerangu, was supervised by Miss Alice Jones. From that time the class of '28 realized that they had many tal- ented persons. The second lap of our journey was resumed with zeal in September IQ25. We were now bonnie, young sophmores. We felt very import- ant and superior to the class of '29 who were mere little Freshman to us. 8
