3 SENIOR HISTORY The Flight To Knowledge Of '28 On the eventful day of September 1, 1925, the Senior. class started on their adventurous non-stop flight to Knowledge IH the Plane Tenacity. Our first pilot was Miss Schultz-fond memories of her linger still in our minds though she left us last year in a parachute, after spying a port from our plane that attracted her attention. We chose, as our first class president, Evelyn Bertrand. The necessary expenses were evenly distributed among us-the fare comprising a neat class treasury. That was the beginning of the journey through which we have braved storm and sunshine together, toward which we have bent our unceasing efforts and a journey that was far shorter than we actually anticipated. We must admit that on account of engine trouble, we have, at times, been almost forced to make a landing, but our pilots have always kept us soaring since our take- off. We have made a record in scolastic flights, proud to have mem- bers dominated by a attitude of public spirit .As Sophomores, one of our boys won the H. S. Declamatory contest, received third at the District contest, and one of our girls copped fourth place in a Shorthand con- test at Crystal Falls. We began our amateur dramatics with Too Much of A Good thing. We made our course in our Junior year toward the port of Prep- aration to get an impressive glance of that important place. Miss Schultz was still our worthy pilot and Edward Hirn was chosen presi- dent. The flight was rosy! t'The Bride Breezes In our Juni-' X' class play went over big so they say. Helen Tipper brought honor to the class by winning the H. S. Oratorical contest. Our prom was also a decided success-it had definite reasons to be-we had put all our physical and mental skill with patience into that spacious rose garden. The Junior- Senior Banquet was enjoyed immensely. lVe had acrobats with us who were continually doing stunts, forcing a few to drop in parachutes and wait for rescue planes. The class has been well represented in athletics, and we have all earthly reason to be proud of our boys who have for the last two years comprised the bulk of the H. S. leaders in that field. As Sophomores they won the H. S. Championship. For the sake of the school theyhave spent countless nights practicing tirelessly in basketball, football and track, continuing the struggle bravely to place Kingsford on the map until the voyage was over. One of our boys was sent to the State Track Meet and received a first place . We welcomed Miss Alving as our new pilot for our Senior year and Helen Tipper was chosen president. Busy was no word to express the situation. Three of our Seniors were on the Debating teams and Edward Hirn won first place in H. S. Oratory. We presented the Ghost Bird as our class play, proving that in spite of labor our spirit had not diminished. Now, with the aid of the telescope, I can see from the plane the port toward which we have so long been flying-the port that means not only the achievement of a material diploma, but a standard of high ideals and a worthy education. Ivy Thorson.
