SENIOR CLASS HISTORY G RANDPA,” said Jack III, “tell ’bout your high school, ’bout your class ” “Well, son,” said Jack I, “that was a long time ago. We certainly were scared when the upper-classmen made fun of us, but we soon got over our fears and showed we were full of pep. Rally Night came early in the year our class putting on a mock wedding with June Berg as bride and Fleet Harrison as groom. “As sophomores we lost no opportunity to share in school activities. Football found Felix, Lawrence Hanna, and Clifford on the heavyweight team. Helen won first prize in the local and honorable mention in the national Butterick Dressmaking Contest. Seven sophomores were in the Honor Society. “In our junior year, Margaret Welch won first place in the Forensic with her essay, ‘Artists and Engineers.’ In interclass the junior boys placed first. The girls contributed largely to the school teams. Helen further honored the class by being selected as lead in ‘The Belle of Barcelona’. The crowning triumph of this year was the Junior-Senior Banquet, a huge success. The dinner served at the American Legion Home was followed by a theater party at the Fox Riverside. l Then, my boy came our last year in high school — our senior year, the happiest, yet the saddest of the four. We chartered a truck and went to the Valley of the Falls, Ditch Day — such a gay and carefree bunch! Yells were given and songs sung until every one was weak with fun and excitement. “Our senior play, ‘The Arrival of Kitty’, was a great success, with Thelma as Kitty; Lois as Jane; and Algy as Bob, sweetheart of Jane and impersonator of Kitty. Chester Lytle as William Winkler, an elderly beau; Leonard Pate as Benjamin Moore, a disappointed suitor; Betty Webster as Aunt Jane, a high-strung lady in search of a husband — all proved most amusing. On May 15, the seniors gave for the student body a play entitled ‘How the Story Grew’. “Oh, yes, 1 almost forgot Lemonville, ‘The Lady of the Terrace’. Jack Cunning- ham was a howling success as the Irish servant; Elizabeth Campbell as the beautiful American girl, and Mildred Phillips in the title rol e added charm.” “Our class, Jack, was the first to be graduated from any place other than the high school. We held our commencement exercises in the Corona Theater, in the heart of each senior a sincere wish for the success of Corona High.” Grandpa stared at the dancing flames in the big fireplace, a smile of reminiscent pleasure on his face. “Those were the days, the good old days,” he murmured. “Ah Jack, just wait till you’re a senior. You’ll know then something of the joys your grandparents experienced. Jove! I can hear it yet, our class yell in assembly • S-E-N- I-O-R-S! Are we seniors? Well, I guess!’ ” Jack III woke with a convulsive start as his mother came to take him off to bed. Jack I smiled sheepishly at his daughter-in-law. “That’s all, son. Try to make your class proud of you.” fifteen
