Chorus THE SENIOR CLASS OF 19)0 Theme Song of Picture “With You With you, a sunny day Without you, clouds in the sky; With you, my luck will stay Without you, fortune will fly; With you, I’ll never stop Until I reach the top; Without you, I'll never get by; With you, a happy song. Without you, castles that fall; With you, I can’t go wrong Without you, chances are small; With you, my banner's unfurled Right there on top of the world; Without you. I’m just nothing at all.

In the Springtime” Miss You That’s Collegiate Love Brief Synopsis of Scenario The atmosphere of East Tech’s halls is stirred with excitement over the beginning of a new semester. The dawn of a new phase of school life—Senior Year! What a world of happy and exciting predictions are contained in those two words. The constantly moving groups present a kaleidoscopic view of the many students, all rushing around and greeting each other with slaps on the back and such cheerful phrases as How are you. Bill? Why Betty! I haven’t seen you all summer long! Isn’t it good to see the old crowd back again?” On the aud steps we see pretty Lucy Edwards, the leader of the feminine class— the few that remained at East Tech. She is surrounded by a buzzing, chattering group, discussing the handsome vehicle (destined to be the class Ford) that Jimmy Dunn has purchased for twenty-five dollars.

Be it known that we, the class of 1930, of East Technical High School, in the City of Cleveland, in the County of Cuyahoga, in the State of Ohio; being of sound mind (wc think) and memory, do make, publish, and declare this instrument to be our last Will and Testament. To the Class of 1931 wc bequeath: The everlasting and sustaining hope of graduating. Our pity for their feminine-less condition. The right to pester freshmen. The traditional rendezvous—the aud steps. The right to be first in the lunch line. The hope that they will be spared the struggle to produce an Annual. The privilege of wearing Senior Caps. The right to borrow money from underclassmen without paying them back. The right to cut classes without a permit. The responsibility of choosing the college that has the best football team. The privilege of using the perpendicular pronoun a great deal. The right first, last, and always to be the only people to be considered at East Tech. Done this nineteenth day of May, in the year of our Lord, nineteen hundred and thirty, and sealed with the Scarab, in lieu of the seal of the State of Ohio, in the presence of these witnesses.

But suddenly comes the shrill sound of the bell, and the crowds disperse to go to their respective home rooms. School routine commences, and another round of battling with Civics clippings and French verbs begins. The scene shifts— In order to make Tech a perfect self-governing community, the February Class has to choose a leader and so picks Harry Valley, the erstwhile comedian. Soon with this same air of proprietorship, Harry Valley takes over the presidency of the Rooters' Club, and what a grand showing this club makes on Color Day—the day that East Tech beats West Tech to capture the Senate Football crown. (Big Brown Team). Once again the picture changes. To show the team a part of their appreciation, the school gives them a fitting ovation in the form of an All School Football Championship Banquet. The colorful decorations and the overflow of school spirit make everybody catch his breath in sheer Ky- And now to the next roll of film. To get back to the serious business side again, the Senior Class considers many nominees and finally chooses Ryland Peck as the class mentor. Then begin the many peppy” Senior meetings when Ryland, wielding his gavel, makes dents in the president’s desk.

U. R.” (I Get the Blues when It’s Grade Time) Going back to business again, the June class shows the doubting Thomases what efficient business executives they are. They stage an intense campaign for an Annual and eventually reach their goal. The next scene is a festive one, for, Now comes The Only Way and Kcmpy” together with a hilarious Kid’s Party that serves as a delightful break in the monotony of the school routine. (Pause: Please pardon the break in the film roll.) Perhaps the faculty think they ought to display the results of the above mentioned grind; so they throw a Biennial Exhibit where a glider and everything else arc displayed. The scene carries us on a few weeks when everybody has just finished exulting over the marvelous time they had at the June Prom, when the news is received of the many successes of our track team at Columbus and elsewhere. (In the Springtime). The final scene: Happy days surely arc here again” and everybody sincerely hopes that leaving the dear old Alma Mater will not mar the many happy memories. The final class motto is, And they lived happily ever after.” (Miss You). Twrnty-fonr
