J u.nior Class I-Jisfory
Some three years ago, ever so many comic looking young people entered the vast halls of the David City High school and were given the ingnominious litle of freshmen.
The only good quality about them was that "they knew not, and knew that they knew not." But one cannot always judge by appearances as has been proven by their remarkable progress since that time.
After their first meeting they forged ahead under the apt leadership of Arthur Guthrie as president, Mildred Reddy as vicepresident, Lorene Macoy, secretary and Maurice Buckely, treasurer. Mid-year the honor of president was placed on Lyle Kroft. Helen Gates and Marion Buctha were class representatives on the Student council.
After struggling one most terrifying year it was decided that

a part of them should be allowed the priviledge of being called sophomores. More of their hidden talents were revealed as time passed on. They elected Helen Gates as president, Arthur Guthrie, vice-president; ·Mildred Reddy, secretary; and Marion Butcha, treasurer. Helen Gates and Marion Buicha wer e elected class representatives on the student council.
Several parties and picnics were held during the year.
Then dawned the third year of reign in the "House of Knowledge." We are now Juniors. Our noble officers of the year are: Marion Buchta, president; Mildred Reddy, vice-president; Helen Gates, secretary; Wilgus Eberly, treasurer. Ruth Trotter anrl Marion Buchta as Junior Class rep resentatives on the Student Council.
The Juniors are noted for producing many of D. C.'s star athletes, among whom arc: Doty, Buchta, Delaney and Kindler.

Sophomore Kiistory
With eyes and mouth wide open the class of '31 stood before the doors of the DAVID CITY HIGH SCHOOL. They were welcomed with many shouts and were taken for a ride although the car got too heavy and the freshmen kindly consented to walk.
At lheir class meeting they elected Andrew Monia, President; Zola Monia, Vice President; and Pauline Masek, Secretary-Treasurer.
They hiked out to Littys place trying to get some fresh air, although the Upper Classmen thought they were fresh enough alr eady.
They were quite good in athletics and more than one fresh· man won his letter in one way or another. There are also some very good BRAINS among them.
Again they enter those stately portals but this time as distinguished SOPHOMORES.

They elected Donald Kepner, President; Edna Oltmans, Vice President; Dorothy Neill, Treasurer; Kathleen Brewer, Secretary.
Their parties were few and far between but they still held their place in BRAINS and ATHLETICS.
' They didn't wish to put in about the olympics last year as they got beaten but this year it is in because they won by a great number of points. HOW WONDERFUL!
All they have to say now is that if they may be promised the fun in the next two years that they have had in the last two years they surely won't desert the CRIMSON and the BLACK.

F reshn1.an Class I-Jistory
School opened September third 1928 with lots of green fr eshmen standing in the hall with their mouths hanging open, nimbly keeping out of the way of upper classmen. F or weeks after we would hear them coming late to class, with kn ees shaking and always the r eady excuse, "I couldn't find the right classroom."
A class meeting was held and the following officials were elected: Benjamin Perkins, President; Francis Ander!, Vice President ; Eleanor Thomas, Secretary and Treasurer.
This year each class had the privil ege of electing its member s to the student council. Edith Stone and Francis Ander! f r om the Freshmen Class now grace that body.
The Freshmen Class hike was held late in October, a t No Hope. Roasted wieners, marshmallows, juicy r ed apples, pickles, and buns fill ed their empty stomachs. Miss Auten and Miss Dye wit h Mr. Elliot held sway over these rowdy Freshmen.
We hope next year the Freshmen are as devoted lo their classmen as wer e the Freshies of 1929.

The Student Council This is the fourth year of the Student Council in the David City
high school. During these four years its object has been to create, maintain, and extend such activities and traditions as would be of interest and benefit to the school.' Due to its great success we are assured that a Student Council will continue to be a regular part of the school program.
Ten members make up the council. The student body elects the president and vice president, the president being a senior boy and the vice president a junior girl. The other members are elected from th~ four classes, a boy and a girl from each class.
The student Council met regularly the first and third Wednesday of every month. When it was seen to be necessary special meetings were called by the president. The Council has sponsered many fine Chapel programs during the school year. All within the power of the Council has been done to try and make this school an interesting and wholesome place.

§enior Class History
A young man enters the room. He crosses to a chair and sits down. On a table nearby is a large book. As the young man casually begins to turn the pages of this book, he notices lhe title--"The Happiest Years." He begin:; to read it.
The first chapler begins September seventh, nineteen hundred and twentyfive. The Class of '29, then Freshmen, started on their career resplendent in Freshmen color- green. Bul this color soon faded. The Freshmen began to take part in school activities. To show their spirit they trounced the Sophomores in the "Olympics."
The second chapter.takes place three monlhs laler. The sophomores of this year were striving fO\· more knowledge and higher honors. Eight prizes went to the Sophomore class from the Butler County scholastic c011test. Seven Sophomores won letters in athletics. They \vere represented in lhc Glee Clubs, Dramatics, and many other activities. But there· was plenty of time for fun amid the work. We certainly enjoyed ourselves at the class parties and picnics.
The young man continues eagerly to the third chapter of this book. Members on athletic teams, in the Operetta, in the Glee Clubs, winners in Declamatory contests, and helping to make The Scout. It was great fun fixing for the Carnival. But our highest achievement during our Junior year was the Junior-Senior Banquet!
The Fourth Chapter! Our football team this year was the best David City High School ever had! Basketball was a huge success and there are prospects for a good track team. The Class Play and Commencement Exercises are yet to come. In a few short weeks the Class of '29 will finish its career at the David City High School.
Although the future holds much promise for us, we regret thai our happy days of the past four years are nearly over. Whatever we are doing or wherever we are, we will always remember with joy the time spent at old D. C. H. s.
The young man closes the large volume. On the last page are written the words, "The Class of '29."

Glimpse of Games VVe opened the season of the pig
skin pastime with Columbus. It was a battle royal from start to finish but we came out on top 6-13.
Next came the dreaded Central City. One of the teams tuffest assignments was here, but they put over the needed points to win 7-6.
An equally hard foe was Stanton. With great team play and bitter fighting the Crimson and Black again came out on top 12-0.
With sight of an all victorious season, overconfidence breezed in, and"\ve barely came through with a 6-0 victory over Osceola.
Remembering our pitiful play the week before, we got off on the rightleg and snowed under Stromsburg 45-0.
Next com~os Ulysses. We had the fray easily in the bag 18-0 when, with most of the regulars out, but we managed to hold an 18-1:3 victoty until the end.
(' OAC II ELUO'M'
Silver Creek offered little opposition, and we came through with a 38-13 victory. Thinking seriously of an all victorious season, we •were set to battle Seward off their feet, and when the final whistle bllw, the scoreboard read 12-0 for D. C. II. S.
All now that stood before us for a clean slate was the powerful Schulyer eleven. VVith flue taking most of our strength, and a blizzard to. set it off, we fell before a fighting Schulyer aggregation 6-0. Thus ended the season of one of THE GREATEST FOOTBALL TEAMS D. C. II. S. has ever produced.

Girls7 Grlit-e Clu.h Our girls Glee Club of last year which placed t hird in Class B
in the State music contest is under the able direction of Miss Evans. The comment on our group at that time was "This group has a
number of lovely voices. The interpretation was very good except .that it could have been a little more spirited."
We have many more experienced singer s in our group this year, and our balance of parts is an improvement over last year. We are preparing two numbers for the District Contest which is to be held in Omaha April, 13. Our numbers are "Butterfly! Butterfly~· (Waltz from "Coppelia"-Leo Delibes) and "Echo-Song"-Harris.
The girls purchased new uniforms and appeared in them when they sang for the Firemen's Banquet, January 28, 1929.
The club sang for P. E . 0. and also entertained the High School at a chapel program. They sang with the chorus in the Christmas cantata, "Chimes of the Holy Night."
The girls are taking part in the operetta and also are on the program for Commencement exercises.
Those who are doing such excellent work are: FIRST SOPRANOS

1"lb.e J orma[ T r&in.ing Clip C!uh This is the third year the club has been functioning successfully.
The aim of the Club is c-ooperation, l-eadership, i-nitative, and profession. It is composed of the girls taking the Normal Training Course. There are eleven Seniors and ten Juniors.
The girls serve on five general committees,-the extension, decoration, entertainment, eats and helping hand. The extension committee takes off patterns and orders seat work The decorating committee decorates our room each month. Those that have classes can see how appropriately and artistically thit is accomplished.
The club meets on Wednesday evening every three weeks. After a short business meeting seat-work is planned. At about six a covered dish luncheon is enjoyed. One can imagine how delicious everything tastes and what a perfect time we have. Of course jokes, new dance steps and singing go hand in hand with the helping hand committee.
This year the club enjoyed two big parties, one at Hallowe'en and Christmas, both at Rose Smith's home. The Hallowe'en party was extremely informal,-that is, the girls appeared in rather boyish garb, namely, overalls. One riotous time was experienced.
The officers for this year were: President, Dolores Havlik; Vice President, Rose Smith; Secretary, Irene Nabity and Treasut'er, LaVerne Ruhl. Th~ Club did not take the annual trip last year but
- donated the $25.00 to the school fund for the landscaping of the school grounds. The club has had a very successful year.
