Senior Breakfast
Thursday morning, honoring seniors of 1927. Mesdames Barber, Boland, Brewer, Taylor, and Thompson entertained with a breakfast at the home of Mrs. Barber. Delicious hot rolls, fried chicken, scrambled eggs, potato chips, and jellies were served to 17 seniors and their sponsor, Miss Moore.
Senior Class Night
The senior class held its class night on Tuesday evening. At that time the will, history, prophecy, the president’s address, the class poem and the giftorian address were delivered. The seniors’ journey through high school was likened to a sea voyage and the whole program cleverly carried out this idea.
