CLASS HISTORY In the early part of September of 1931 fifty-eight inexperienced but determined young pirates entered the portals of S. E. H. S. and set out to sail the seemingly troubled waters 0 of the sea of high school education. In spite of a few pranks and mistakes unbefitting to dashing buccaneers they succeeded in establishing themselves in good favor with the first-class-nen. In the freshman year Robert Styles was at the helm of the class with Amos Jasa as first mate and Vivienne Kelson as keeper of the Class log and keeper of the treasure. After the organization of the class, the class banner was designed carrying-out the colors of green and orange which the members of the class had chosen. Miss Audrey Carr was the able faculty advisor of the class. By the end of this eventful year in the lives of the now wise and capricious freebooters felt entirely at home in the good ship S. E. H. S. No sooner had they taken shore leave for the summer than they were back on board ready for another year chucked full of good times and hard work. This year they took several honors, including Citizenship Contest, and basketball. Four people deserted the ranks of the pirates of this class between the first and second years but the remaining fifty-four were all the more earnest in carrying on to the goal. Hiss Jewel Bevis of the faculty helped the cl 88 «rer its many problems. Back again on September 11, 1933 fifty-two buccaneers remained with the ship with expectations for a good old year. Miss Bevis again the sponsor they began what seemed to be the most important lap of the long journey. On the seventeenth and eighteenth of November the class presented its play The Red Headed Stepchild. On the twelfth of December, the members of the class were royally entertained by the Seniors. They still f continued to take honors in various contest including agriculture, w citizenship, and music. On L y 3, after much hard work the juniors were hosts at a banquet in the Methodist Church parlors to the Seniors.

 CLASS HISTORY (Con't) ©n September tenth a croup of somewhat more dignified pirates returned to finish the Job up well. Miss Bevis faithfully followed them through the years and without her help the class would probably be stranded in some stubborn backwater along the way. The class was well represented in all activities of the high school and brought back enviable honors. On April 22 and 23 the play The Tin Hero was presented by these ambitious pJ.ratee.r3 and showed their dramatic ability to an appreciative audience. On May 19 Rev. Hull addressed the class at baccalaureate services held at the Presbyterian Church. On the twenty-first the class showed its various talents in a class night program. And finally Treasure Island was reached. Each pirate recieved his share of the treasure-a diploma. Commencement, which was May 23, was held at the Methodist Church, Dr. J. W.
