Senior Class History MARILYN FRITZ l-IRE I A DARK-HAIRICIJ Pirate queen with haunting eyes and tea-rose com- plexion, for a small piece of silver I would gladly dis:-lose the future. Though I have not the gift of prophecy. I ani inclined to reverie. For just a few moments of your time I shall trace for you the path of the largest band of pirate youths who have traversed the halls of A. H. S. The events of their first year 011 the high seas were a get-acquainted hike at Morton's grove and a chapel program on Kansas Day. They began anew their journey as Sopho- mores with a hike at Murphys grove. An appropriate Thanksgiving program was given in November. A deviation from the serious was a ring toss at the annual carnival, where- by the skillful found their fortunes. The next year they changed the style of the class rings and chose the Cowboys head as their insignia. 1,11 November 20, 1930, the annual Junior play, The Arrival of Kitty. was given. They bade farewell to the Sen- iors, whose Caravan had guided them ill their journey, with a banquet in an Egyptian tem- ple. At last, they neared the climax of the jour- ney with glad hearts. They conducted the Christmas chapel. as has been the usual cus- tom. In March. fifteen of the band were chos- en as members of the Abilene Chapter of the National Honor Society. and twelve members were elected to the National Quill and Scroll Society. The Senior play, Smilin' Through, was presented April 22. But when they reached the last semester and were guests of the Junior class at a ban- quet prepared for them as a farewell, there was a hint of sadness. The all-day picnic, and the Alumni banquet. were final climaxes of pleasure. The leaders of this last year were: Deloss Iiomine. president, Claude Coleman, vice-pres- identg Clyde Harris, seeretaryg Vernon Stev- ens. l1'BilSlll'6l'Q Melvin Martin and Alma Chase. Student Council representatives. Misses Marjorie Taylor, Esther Turvey, WVinnie Scott, Esther Cliristmore, and Mr. J. Earl Endacott were sponsors of the class. And the caravan of pirates still goes on in quest of varied treasurers. But the vagrant thought of the band shall return as haunting memories and in firelight glow each will often rebuild the scenes of High School days. x 0 f
