19 CHINTIMINI 21 Senior History Tick, Tockg Tick, Tock. This is the song of the Kiwanis clock. Why are the halls so lonely and drear? It's' ,cause the seniors no longer are here. So sings the clock that stands in the hall, Its face toward the door and its back to the wall. Tick, Tockg Tick, Tock. This is the song of the Kiwanis clock. Well, said Joan of Arc, the figure on the cup case, I had wondered what made it so different around here and I guess you're right. lt hasnit been the same since the class of '27 graduated. Yes, that's itf' said the clock. This is my first year in Corvallis high school, but I can certainly notice the change since the seniors left. They must have been a pretty lively class as freshmen, weren't they ? Why, yes, said Joan, they were the only class that as freshmen have won the prize for the best stunt at the Senior Circus. Roland Lay- ton was president the first semester and Virgil Avrit, the second. Miss Libbie Krichesky and Mr. J. J. Houser were the advisers. There were 243 in that class. It was quite an achievement to win that prize, said the clock. but I expected as much 1 Jo-an continued, Ted Wilson was the sophomore president and Miss Vera Humphrey the adviser. 'The Candy Box Revuej a colorful little skit, was the sophomore entry at the Senior Circus. Did they do anything startling when they were juniors '? asked the clock. Well, I should say so! said Joan indignantly. They broke another record when they won the Senior Circus prize again. This is the first and only time that a class has ever won the prize twice. The juniors put on a most successful and unique Junior-Senior banquet, too. It was delightfully carried out in the Japanese style. Robert Du Priest was president and Miss Lura Keiser, adviser. Well, you needn't tell me anything about what they did when they were seniors, said the clock. Everybody knows about that. They started out enthusiastically at the beginning of the year determined to leave a substantial sinking fund for a much needed grand piano for the school. As their first step toward this, they sponsored a piano recital by Mrs. Ruth Twenty-five

19 CHINTINIINI 27 Bradley Keiser of Portland, Oregon-said to be one of the most successful entertainments of its kind ever given in Corvallis. And then 'Clarencel' That was certainly a wonderful class play. Why, you know I was told that 'Clarence' drew the biggest crowd that has ever attended a high school play here. It was so good that they put it on twice. And the Senior Circus-everybody had a good time there. Then there was the senior picnic when the 111 ,27ers celebrated their victory in the student body ticket sale, taking the half holiday given as a reward. And then Class Day, Baccalaureate, and Commencement. Now the seniors are gone. I wonder if any class will ever be able to take their place ? Tick, Tockg Tick, Tock. This is the song of the Kiwanis clock. Why are the halls so lonely and drear? It's 'cause the seniors no longer are here.
