Senior Class History We entered high school in the fall of ’27 with one hundred class members. We were unusually bright, even though our brilliance did have a greenish tinge. It wasn’t long before the Sophs took us in hand and showed us a thing or two. To show our appreciation we retaliated with a party later in the year. Our class was organized early in the year with the following officers: James Cameron, president; Beryl Smith, vice-president; Dorothy Lee Knisley, secretary-treasurer. Our sponsors were Mrs. Dewald and Mr. Cook. The following year we made progress quickly, not being obliged to wander aimlessly through the halls hunting class rooms, lockers, etcetera. In organizing the class we elected Jack Houston, president; Margaret Zorn, vice-president; Edmund Schmitt, secretary and treasurer; Miss Meyers and Mr. Smith, sponsors. The high point in our school life this year was the initiation we gave the Freshies. It was flawless, superb, in fact a “pip” and a complete education for the youngsters. Donald Lang and Lowell Haflich received football letters this year; and Haflich, a basketball letter, also. As Juniors we proceeded to make more history for F. C. H. S. We elected the following officers early in the year: William Fisher, president; Lillian Mayfield, vice-president; Edmund Schmitt, secretary; and Christobel Weaver, treasurer. Miss Myers and Mr. Smith were our sponsors. Craig Greenwald, Edgar Waller, Donald Lang, Raymond Yoder, Wayne Allen, Robert Grant, and Jack Houston were football lettermen while Lang and Allen represented the Juniors in basketball. We bought rings and pins (although we will never need any reminders of these four years) and in March gave a scintillating play “The Baby Cyclone,” under the direction of Miss Leta Wakelin. With the proceeds from this we gave a most successful banquet to the Seniors at the Weaver Hotel. As Seniors we were, of course, without rivals. In our usual dashing manner we plunged into the final year’s whirlwind of activities. Our first act was to organize our class with Chevalier Crandell, president; James Cameron, vice-president; Raymond Yoder, secretary; and Edmund Schmitt, treasurer. Miss Myers and Mr. Smith were again our sponsors, and we wish to take this opportunity to thank them for their guidance and advice during the last three years. At the close of the football season the following seniors received letters: Donald Lang, Wayne Allen, Raymond Yoder, Norman Schober, Henry Sauer, and Robert King. Lang, Schober, Yoder, and Allen, also received basketball letters. When the Orange and Black staff was selected, these seniors were chosen: Christobel Weaver, editor-in-chief; and William Fisher, business manager. Seniors in the M. I. N. K. contest were John Gehling, dramatic, second; and James Cameron, piano, second, while Lillian Mayfield, Josephine Vose and John Gehling represented Falls City in the District and Sub-district declamatory contests. On May 18, the Senior play, “Civilian Clothes”, was given in the High School auditorium under the direction of Miss Leta Wakelin. James Cameron and Lillian Mayfield carried the leads. This is but a brief resume’ of our high school career, and while historians tell us that history repeats itself, yet we are inclined to think ours will stand forever as characteristic of the members of the class of ’31.
