Graduation exercises completed, I deem it fit to make a short summary of the activities of this class, in which all did participate, and from which they did carry away most pleasant memories. ELECTION February Months prior to the day of graduation those of the class carried themselves in a congregation to a great room for the choice of some officers. Midst great tumult the controversy concerning who would make the best officers was ended and final nominations were listed, votes cast, and the paper subscribed to thus: Dale Vaughn, president and by like vote Mary .lane Hoover, vice-presi- dent, Marilyn Sankey, secretary, and William Robinson, treasurer. The group did dissolve itself and did pass very cheerfully from the hall, the whole class, as well as Adviser Arthur C. Thomas, being joyful thereat, as much talk in an approving fashion did denote. MIXER October 5 Assembled in a great group this day after school and with the musicians playing soft airs, we did fall to dancing for several hours in a hall decorated in most handsome fashion, in the school colors of red and blue. The whole group did enjoy themselves to a great extent. So home to supper as the evening hour approached with great exhiliaration. PICNIC October This day being fair a picnic did cause great expectations, nor were any disappointed for games of many sorts were played and prizes won. The youths seeming reluctant to enter some of the festivities did rather choose to climb trees as if they were animals, their antics causing great mirth, especially when time to dine was announced and they felllfrom the trees and into line as quickly as the rest of the company. The hour having grown late, the com- pany departed homeward. PLAY , December -Ist This night many did venture forth, I with the rest, to a play called The Fighting Littlesw at the great auditorium, where I was forced to sit almost out of sight, so full was the house. The play for variety andimirth was of the best as I do relate later. The house by their tumultous plaudits at end did show sufficient approbation. So home and to bed. PROM I January 1 2 This event I did see fit to record at -greater length elsewhere in this Journal and to offer sketches of the participants. 'il Page Eighteen 134'

KATHERINE L. SIMMONS Each year she does find herself called upon to undertake the advisorship of the Annual Staff and does perform this task, requiring much effort and unending pa- tience, with great success, winning the ad- miration of all who do work with her. KARL J. SOLLER Biological mysteries and chemical reac- tions he does make his students to see through by the use of small plates of a great transparency and experiments with matter that does give off much light, heat, or aroma. ARTHUR C. THOMAS In past many years while serving both as adviser to the senior classes and director of their plays, he has made himself much to be admired by his English scholars for his great erudition. JEAN VAN FOSSAN By way of the delectable aromas which do escape from the cafeteria, she does whet the noon-time appetites of all who pass that way the which she does satisfy with every known dish and the daintiest of pastries. SADIE VAN HOESEN Explaining the difference between a gerund and gerundive to scholars whose minds do wander in far different channels poses no problems to one who does-also find no difficulty in arranging delightful dances and parties for juniors and seniors alike. - HARMON C. WELCH In mathematical skills he does have great proficiency and a monstrous' great art for story telling so that each problem does have its own story-to the great enlightenment and delight of all his scholars. D. LYTLE WIGGINS The law of inertia to the inert scholars, he does expound most hopefully but with little reason for success, scholars being most dilatory in the matter of the sciences. ELOISE YOUNG The art of language she does teach in an exceeding, exact manner so that the scholars do acquire a vast knowledge which they do reveal in the offering of most eloquent toasts at their banquet. -'Sf Pciqe Seventeen B4-

BACCALAUREATE January 21 In solemn mood and in their best attire the whole class did proceed into the auditorium where friends and relatives were already seated, the graduates placing themselves in the front rows and fixing their gaze upon the stage where, before the sermon, a choir, handsomely attired in black robes, gave forth music which was most excellent and pleasing to the ear. Reverend Bloom- quist, a very good minister, did preach a most excellent sermon pleasing to everyone, after which the benediction was said and the group filed out. So to home to think upon the service. CLASS DAY AND RECEPTION January 23 This day did bring forth the many talents of the members. The principal did make a monstrously interesting speech with a most thought-provoking title, 4'Don't Fence Me Inf' after which the scholars did display their pro- ficiency in singing, bird-like whistling, reading and prophesying and various other members did receive the awards of the popularity contest. This done, the whole company did adjourn to the cafeteria to partake of delicious tea and cookies and engage in lively conversation with teachers and other parents. The ceremonies at an end, everyone to home and a late supper. BANQUET ' January 24 All did assemble at the great Martin Lutheran Church in anticipation of a great banquet, at which the food was found to be most pleasing to all, it being a turkey dinner. Upon the program, many students did entertain, after which all joined in singing, and great mirth did prevail until the whole company joined for the last time in singing Dear South to Thee, that did upstir everyone in sad farewells. So home to bed, to spend a miserable night, thoughts of the next day and graduation preventing sleep. GRADUATION January 25 , In fine array, and in most solemn mood the whole class did assemble at Stambaugh Auditorium at the given hour, and proceed onto the stage in full view of admiring friends and relatives. Honors of many sorts having been awarded and a monstrous fine speech bearing the title G'Gung Ho having been delivered by the Rev. Bernard Clausen, the diplomas were presented to class members and each having received his certificate of award did file out to be congratulated by those of the audience. Many maidens did receive amorous attentions and congratulations which seemed most pleasant to all, but which did cause many an eye to fill with tears, the memories of school days being so pleasant. CONCLUSION I do desire now to offer likenesses of these senior scholars, and do trust the reader does know them for their worth. +2-f Page Nineteen Bk-
