June Class-1931 School days are the most carefree days of our lives, although we come to realize it only when we face the uncertainties and trials of life. Now we, the senior class, have come to the end of the road which represents preparation for the new life that lies before us. So recently, we were children in school, carefree and happy! Now we are men and women ready to take up the various missions that fate has decreed for us. Although we little realized it, during the past four years we have laid the foundation for our future success or failure. Many have made their start on the stage by taking part in the school plays. The future Sousas and Paderewskis may be playing in our orchestra or band. Some famous swimmer may have started training in our pool, or some great athlete have acquired his fundamentals on our championship foot-ball team. Many who have been active at East High, leave with the graduation of this class, but they are certain to come forth in the world of fame, and we shall hear of them again. In this class we have a portion of the dancers, the artists, the writers, the musicians, and the poets of the future. We have known as friends and class-mates the teachers, the lawyers, the doctors, and political leaders of the new America. We stand in awe upon the threshold of a new life, wondering what the future holds for us. And so it is with a sense of regret that we seniors of 1931 say, “Good-bye—”, 27 —Mildred Nyholnt.
