Louise: Soon after that, Merton of the Moviesl' was a hilarious suc- cess. XVe knew everyone in the cast, and weren't we proud that one of our own class was leading lady? J ack: XVhen our 3A semester brought the class mass assembly, I began to realize the responsibility of the high-and-mighty seniors. Louise: Our Senior year! It wasn't all play, but didn't we have a good time? XVe were on the Clean-up committees, and this time, though Harrison didnlt get first prize, we did tie with Austin for second. 4'The Crimson Start' is another light on our trail. J ark: That. semester the Band went to Denver. I certainly envied you when you left on that trip. Louise: We had some outstanding assembly programs. Do you remem- ber the Girls' Week program, HThe Road to Success , and the Aviation Club 's play, Nerves H 'Z J ack: And the Soccer team won the city championship again, though our hard-working Football team was defeated at the Homecoming Game. Louise: Donat forget the Senior Assembly, where our talented class- mates put it over with a Hbangw. J ack: The Hustler government was made more democratic by the change from one Hustler Council and a delegate group to three groups of represen- tatives. Perhaps this is why the Christmas and Thanksgiving collections and celebrations were so unusually fine. Didnlt we enjoy It Pays to Adver- tisell? I never laughed so hard in all my life. Louise: Oh, I can't forget the Senio-r Dance and the Football-Soccer Dance. 'They were so jolly and informal. Then came the affair of affairs- the Prom, held in the Stevens Hotel, at which we had a Hscrumptviousu time. Wasn't the 4B-4A social a really 'Vchummyi' school affair, and didn't the 4B's give us a good time? The Senior Banquet didn't disappoint us, either. Everything went so smoothly. Back-trailing like this brings the joys to one so vividly, doesnit it? Still-but oh, the exercises are beginning. Theres Agnes, one of the first in line. Doesn't she look dignified in her cap and gown? tTioo 71 ours Zoterj Louise. Cto Agues, os the two girls and Jack are wall-ciug out of the audi- toriumj : Oh, did your operetta succeed? VVhat was the outcome of the Clean- up Campaign? Did the June Prom equal ours? I know you can 't answer my questions all at once, but I'm dying to hear. Agnes: Now, just one question at a time. You wonit have to coax me much to sing Harrisonis praises. CShe takes ci deep bi'eot7i.j Our operetta? HThe Mikado was a 'Lscreamf' How everyone laughed! Our Band won the city championship and went to Flint to represent Chicago in the National Band Contest. As for the Clean-Up campaign, of course Harrison always comes out at the top. Then-the most im- portant affair of our career at Harrison, the Prom, was held at the Blackstone Hotel, in the Crystal Ballroom, really a beautiful place. What a wonderful time we had! Let me tell you all about it. Jack: Tell Louise some other time. Let me in on the athletics. Agnes: Oh, thereis enough to say about that, too. Our Basketball team copped the championships at the Morris and Iia Grange Tour- naments, and our Heavies won the West Section Championship. Jack: Whew! What a record! Agnes: Yes. Isn't it fine? Haven't we happy memories to carry with-'us as we leave Harrison and seek new fields to conquer? 91

The Senior Farewell XVe graduates of January, 1930, depart from an institution that for four years has meant the beginning and growth of our social and athletic lives. It has taught us more lessons than are ever to be gained in the class room proper. In offering this adieu, the class of 1930 takes with it something it has learned from practical experience. It has fitted itself for the world by its work in the class room, true, but by other means, such as the participation in extra-curricular activities and the cultivation of friendships among the faculty, it has taken with it instruments of life that will help make success- ful everything it has absorbed about History, English, Latin, and other sub- jects. By participating in numerous activities, the class has learned responsibili- ty, an element vital to success in the business world, and in the faculty, we have found friends of the t'Fidus Achates nature, more than willing to help in anything, anytime, anywhere. Our class has attempted to uphold and improve the standards of Harri- son. To what extent it has succeeded is not for the class to judge. Now this task becomes the problem of the Junior class. Future Seniors, not only should you aim to maintain Harrison 's high standards, but strive to improve them. You now become the model for the lower class-men, and, as such, you should set lofty standards. Juniors, Sophomores, and Freshmen, make Harrison THE HIGH SCHOOL. Irving Kupcinet, President of the January Class, 1930. Four years, the happiest years of our young lives, in which we have struggled to attain efficiency in our educational development, in which we have cultivated friendships most dear to us, have forever passed from view, leaving bchind only traces of our accomplishments and activities within the portals of Harrison. On the athletic field we won memorable victories and leave a good record, which the passing of time cannot erase. In social activities we have main- tained the high standards set by former Harrison senior classes, and we sin- cerely hope that our leadership will encourage all Harrisonites to promote the welfare of their future undertakings in this line of work. Our school life has come to a termination, and we now face with radiant and glowing countenances a new world, a world of the future, a world of suc- cesses, perhaps a world of disappointments. But we are in no manner dis- heartened or discouraged, because we have established within us the true Har- rison spirit developed by the conscientious labors of our faculty. To the members of the faculty an unlimited amount of gratitude is hereby expressed in appreciation of their efforts. To you 4B ls we resign the leadership of the school, and ask you to strive your utmost to fulfill this great responsibility. NVith the cooperation of the Juniors, Sophomores, and Freshmen, we are assured that the name of Harri- son will be kept bright and shining on the field of honor, and the June class of 1930 can make its last bow and final exit, leaving to you the care of Harri- sou's fair fame. YValter Ostaszewski, President of the 1930 June Class. , 93
