The worry of the boys who were in Gene Blan- den's room, when fifteen minutes of hard pound- ing on the door failed to awaken him. The way Kate Leaf, a milkman's daughter, drank Coffee all the time. The burlesque entertainment displayed by Bob Parsons and George Irving on the bus, while on the way back to VVashington from Annapolis.

George Penfields amusing way of drawling and his big beautiful smile. George Yager acting as personal aide to Mr. and Mrs. Denny.

Why Should Seniors Go To Washington? Cont'd big book, that is somewhat like life itself. The class worked and played together. I know that even we, the class of 1934, are still grateful to all the people who helped us reach our goal. So we in turn will stand by you and help you shoulder your burdens. We have seen and know! The struggle may be difficult, the rewards arelasting memories. I ask isn't that life? From the Class of 1935 we have their president, Jane Parsons. What do I think of the juniors planning to go to Washington in their Senior year? As a former senior who has had the pleasure of taking this trip, I can only say f'Don't miss it, Juniors. Next to graduation it is the high- light of your four years in high school and is well worth any sacrihce you may have to make to attain it. I believe really seeing the things you have studied and read about makes a lasting impres- sion and adds the finishing touch to the know- ledge you have received in the class room. Then too, the good times you have together and the amusing incidents that happen will always be something to reminisce about. I hope that LHS will always be able to send her Senior class On to Washington. We are unable to have the president of the class of 1936 with us today, but the vice-president Betty Hopper, will give us her ideas on why Seniors should go to Washington. Did you ever sweat and steam about the dress that just wouldn't hang right for that trip? Did you ever tread around on burning feet shopping for that suit that could be bought for just a few of those bills out of an already strained pocket- book? Did you call him about two hours early on Good Friday morning to be sure he had enough time to eat a good breakfast, one that would last him until dinner time on the train? Did you slip a few extra meals of hamburger over on Dad in order to get a little from the grocery money?And the last thing, did you kiss him good-bye and wave your arm nearly off? Sure you did! Everyone of you that has ever sent his pride and joy on that trip knew it would be worth while. It's something none of us can ever forget, may- be its because it enriches our lives with know- ledge we couldn't possibly possess any other way. Perhaps it is because the starved years of emo- tional adolescence absorb an experience of this kind with such avid fervor. Perhaps it is worth while as we are thanking our mind for making such a tremendous effort to make this trip possible. Of course it's worth all your conniving. It was a grand gesture, Mom and Dad and thanks, our eternal thanks, you were grand as only Moms and Dads can be. The president of the class of 1937, Harold Schriener is now approaching to give his reasons. The VVashington trip should be taken defin- itely. It is a trip of interests to the students. Through this trip the seniors learn how the government is functioned and also get a better idea as to how the laws of the country are made. On and before the trip we learn how to get along with our fellow-students and it enables us to learn how to conduct ourselves in social life. Many people go through life without a chance to visit VVashington. In the future take advantage of such a wonder- ful trip and start for this achievement in your Freshman year. Good luck to you Seniors of 1939 for a grand Washington trip. We will now give you the last representative of the classes that have graduated before us. This is the president of the class of 1938, Harry Barr- Ctt. The present Junior class should go to Wash- ington because they deserve the trip as much as any of the preceding classes did. Furthermore, it is a trip that will be of educational value to them, and it will mean more to them by going with their class-mates than if they were to make the trip individuallyg it is something that will always live in their memory. It gives the student something to look forward to and will make him work harder to get better marks to that he will keep up with the other students. They should go to Washington not only as a patriotic duty, but as a class trip in which each student completes his high school education since he becomes familiar with our beautiful national government buildings the workings of our gov- ernment, and the views of scenic beauty unsur- passed on this trip. I would like to thank the past presidents for coming here today and giving their reasons on this subject. Page Fifteen
