Class History N THE FALL of nineteen hundred and twenty-six we entered the high school in fear and trembling. You must understand that we were Freshmen and it was the first time we had been in the high school. There were thirty-nine of us from Jackson and Wenona Grammar Schools, and we completely filled Miss Bryant’s room. During the winter of 1926-1927 we lived a hard life—such a hard life that many stopped school. Those that survived the hardships entered Mr. Kimler’s room the next year as Sophomores. We had many things to look forward to as Sophs. First we had Mr. Jennings, the new principle; next a new I'nglish teacher, Mrs. Robinson; and the last but not least a lot of Freshmen to initiate. We were very conceited (as all Sophomores are) and thought we knew more than any one else. We worried the teachers and made life miserable for the Freshmen. In 1928 we moved up stairs, the boys going in Miss Plumb’s room and the girls in Miss Dickerson’s room. We felt a little more dig- nified as we were on the floor with the Seniors. In the spring of 1929 we gave a “tacky party for the Seniors in the High school gymnasium. Kemper Fitch’s orchestra provided music and we had a fine time. Everyone was dressed as “tacky” as possible and prizes were given to the tackiest looking boy and the tackiest looking girl. In September, 1929, we entered Mrs. Robinson’s room with all the dignity that seniors can have and settled down for a year of hard work. Life was rather monotonous until after Christmas, but then things began to change. The first of February saw us taking our mid- year examinations. On March 17th we presented ‘Here Comes Ara- bella,” a very attractive musical comedy. On March 21, the Juniors entertained us with a lovely party at the home of one of the members of their class. We are all looking forward with pleasure to our grad- uation in June.—F. Mc. R.
