Senior Class History In the fall of 1925 there were a group of about fifty Freshmen entered this high school. Our expectations at this time were great, and at the end of our high school career we are proud to say that practically all of them have been fulfilled. During our Freshman year three of our boys made football letters, Frank Gallegos, Alfonso Chacon, and Roy Simmons. Frank and Roy also made basketball letters that year. Our social activities that year consisted only of a Freshman-Sophomore picnic out at Clear Creek. Our class officers were Winnie Matheson, president; Leona Fenton, secretary and treasurer. When we enrolled for our Sophomore year we found that we had lost Raymond Dudziak, Gabriel Garcia, Andrew Gonzales, Sadie Jones, Elmina Morris, and Winnie Matheson. We also found that we had three new members, Isabelle VanAtta, Josephine LaZear, and Miles Parker. Our class officers for this year were R. G. Fussell, president; and Leona Fenton, secretary and treasurer. We had four boys, Miles Parker, Alfonso Chacon, Frank Gallegos, and Roy Simmons, out for football, and all of them earned their letters. Frank Gallegos and Roy Simmons were the only boys in our class that earned their basketball letters that year. Early in November we gave a barn dance for the whole school in the Washington Auditorium. The girls of our class gave a little entertainment during the dance which everyone seemed to enjoy. In our Junior year we had six men on the team. 'Phis was the year that we won the Northern Arizona championship. Our lettermen were Frank Gallegos, Alfonso Chacon, Alberto Ceballos, R. G. Fussell, Lawrence Corbett, Thurman Hart, and Roy Simmons. Frank and Roy made the All Northern Arizona team, Frank as end, and Roy as center. Our letter-men in basketball were Frank Gallegos, Alfonso Chacon. Roy Simmons, R. G. Fussell, and Thurman Hart. Roy Simmons was captain of the ’28 basketball season. We gave “Seven Chances” as the Junior play. We worked hard with this, and were well rewarded by the way people complimented our play. We gave a Rose Prom, and it was declared a great success. Several of the people in our class took places in the musical contest in Flagstaff last year. There was one Junior, Helen anAtta, in the girls’ quartet. Dennis Sweeney took second in the clarinet solo. There were three boys from our class in the boys quartet, Hubert McCormack, George Jackson and Lawrence Corbett. All of our students worked very hard for the new high school, and of course we were very glad when the bonds were voted. We will be the first class to graduate from it. W e gained three new members this year, Thurman Hart. Lawrence Corbett
