E. H. HOMBERGER Superintendent A. B. and A. M. Colorado State Teachers’ College M. A. Columbia University GREETINGS TO SENIORS The present superintendent had the pleasure of welcoming you into high school. Then you came a timid group of freshmen but fully determined to win high class honors and glory for the black and gold. In the attainment of these aims your class has developed a splendid co-operative spirit which has reached its fullest fruition in your senior year led by Fred, your president. Tae 1928 Boomer, edited by Ruby and directed by Alva as business manager and heartily supported by other members of the staff and the class as a whole, sets forth in a pleasing manner the detailed achievements of your class and will stand as a fitting consummation of the Senior Class efforts, and we predict that, as the years go by and you refresh from time to time your memory of W. H. S. by an inspection of the 1928 Boomer, these revived memories shall be an ever increasing delightful heritage. You have watched with interest, I am sure, the steady .growth and enlarged activities of W. H. S. and know that our present school room facilities are crowded to the limit. As you go forth we are confident your interest in your alma mater will make you efficient apostles for a new modern high school building and we hope soon to have the pleasure of welcoming you as visitors in the new educational edifice. In conclusion, let us say that a trail of glory in good wishes from the faculty and lower classmen follows the Senior ClaS3 in its exeunt from old W. H. S., and we are sure, too. you shall continue in progressive growth and attainments for service and that rich rewards shall ever crown your noble efforts, but the greatest reward will come in a consciousness of services well and unselfishly rendered. Cordially your friend. E. H. HOMBERGER.

TO THE SENIOR GLASS Your invitation to write a short message for the 1928 Boomer is highly appreciated. When I think of the permanence of it, I fear lest insufficient time and thought have been expended upon what will fall under the eyes of so many, as our annual will be often thumbed through in the years to come. Maybe they will not stop to read for, with all due regard to the work of the editors and contributors, I suspect this work’s chief value, as an album, will soon begin to be felt and increase rapidly from the start. The faces of our classmates, even the freshies, during our senior year, what memories these pictures will recall—memories of high school days and relationships, in many ways the happiest and most fateful of all. You have been fortunate, indeed, of being privileged to attend a good high school for four years —one having, in addition to all other factors, the greatest of all assets: teachers. competent, to be sure, but above all else, the kind who understand and sympathize. So I am hoping when you pick up what will all too soon begin to be “the old Boomer of ’28,, and turn its pages, not that you will read this, but that our (the faculty’s) faces, too, will recall J. F. QUISENBERRY Principal R l . Texas Christian University B. A. Culver-Stockton Graduate Student at O. IT. ’26. ’27 pleasant memories when good old Father Time has mellowed, sweetened and given the perspective of maturer years, distance has lent enchantment, etc. They say the Senior Classes have i way of wondering what the old school will do when they are gone, and we laugh at them for it. Every one of you worth a fig to W. H. S. has carries a worthy part worthily. We’ll miss you sorely. Like parents, we feel that the one thing worse than giving you up for a larger life would be the realization that you are not fit lor it. Sincerely, J. F. QUISENBERRY.
