Lu 1 Seniors The Harvest is the most lorified stage of all growth. Long periods of cultiva- tion have culminated in the desired fruits. A prayer is offered to the Almighty, for he has brought us through the trials of cultivation. The earth is at rest and all men look to each other with a full com- prehension of life. 25

its The furnace room is a modernly equipped heating plant. This being very efficiently operated by Mr. Strayer whose motto is When bigger and hotter fires are built we'll build them. The student-body are much in debt for the comfort and cooperation which Mr. Strayer is always ready to give. Cnr splendidly equipped First Aid room is another result of the never-tir- ing efforts of the High School Mothers Club. Even though it appears to be the most restful room in our building we can say with little regret that it is the one which we like least to frequent. It is in the gymnasium where we get our daily dozen. Mr. Kingsmore is the foreman of all works. He faces quite a quandry in figuring out how so many students get ill and are in dire need of doctors permits, excusing them from gym classes.

SENIOR CLASS HISTORY It is an odd thing to hear of a field mouse writing a story. But unusual things happen, and now as I am growing old I wish to do something to be remem- bered in the future. In hopes of im- mortality, I decided to write of the things I have seen in a wheat field near by. Each year fresh seeds are planted and each year a harvest is reaped from this field. First, the seeds are planted, then they sprout and push their shoots above the earth, whence they grow to their full height and at that time the heads of the wheat fill out. Soon the grains of wheat will be harvested and sent far apart, some will be planted over again, others will go to the far corners of the earth to carry on their life's work. Oh, the sadness of parting! But they are happy while here. They learn to make friends and have enjoyable parties. Let me describe some happy oc- casions. Soon after the seeds are planted they are entertained by those who were above them. Such a party, with all in costume, no one knowing who are Freshmen or who Seniors!! Since then they have helped to entertain the new- comers. Formally welcomed, the Fresh- men mingled well with the rest. Several attended the G.R.-Hi-Y reunion at Christmas time. Soon they were allowed more privileges. They became prominent in athletics, clubs, and dramatics in their Sophomore year. They put on chapel for the others and also gave a play for the public. But soon they were Juniors. One day the Seniors challenged them to a hunt. In vain they searched, but the Seniors could not be found. Soon after the Jun- iors proved their sportsmanship by enter- taining the victors. Again many attend- ed the Christmas reunion. Soon they put on Chapel, gave a three-act play The Thread of Destiny, and then the big even of the year, the Junior-Senior banquet. The juniors took the Seniors to the South Pole to visit Byrd. Now they are Seniors. The Seniors have many pleasures and much work. They gave up the annual junior-Senior hunt and a Prom took its place. Their talents in athletics, dramatics, music, and public speaking were developed. Two plays, Aunt Lucia and Slave Maid of Israel , were successes. The junior-Sen- ior Banquet, the last for the Seniors, was a fitting farewell. Baccalaureate, the Senior Class Play, and Commencement completed their life inf this field. After that they were Alumni. They have harvested, ready to take up their life work, for after the growth comes the harvest. -Eleanor Haines
