THE WALNUT TREE SENIOR CLASS HISTORY Motto...... Tonight we launch, where shall we anchor? Colors..............Blue and Silver. Flower.................White rose bud. It was autumn of nineteen hundred and thirty-two, and a crew of 38 Freshmen set sail to complete a four year course at Walnut Community High School.The lake was painted with silver and blue, and few of the happy, care-free crew dreamed that they might encounter blustering gale9 or other hardships. The class advisor of the group was Mr. Paul Leitch. Under his supervision, the first social events of the class were carefully planned. The class may easily recall those happy picnic and party days. At the time, however, they were too busy to think only of social events, for they were deeply Indulged in Algebra, General Science, English, and Latin. Some of the boys entered into the school spirit by going out for football and basketball. Others of the crew enrolled in chorus, band, orchestra, and physical training. Everyone had to work busily in endless attempts to save himself from the coming gale,when there would be six-weeks test9, semester tests, and report cards to frighten him. When the second year of the voyage arrived, there were 34 survivers ready to sail into the Sophomore year.Janet Schoaf as president, Gail Stone as vice-president, Margaret Mau as secretary,and Ruth Strouss as treasurer, were selected to engineer the ship. The crew found them to be talented leaders when business matters, picnics, or parties were at hand. Perhaps this was not a very eventful year, but it was not spent in vain. Being experienced Sophomores, the crew succeeded in making a better class record than they bad previously made. Our sponsor this year was Mr. Leitch. The Junior year of the voyage was a very busy one and it reaped successful accomplishments at every corner. A Junior Play entitled, Cornin' Through the Rye was given under the direction of our new class advisor, Miss LaDine Cochran. Another of the biggest events in the life of all upper classmen was the Junior-Senior Banquet, which was given on May third, nineteen hundred and thirty-five. The banquet took place on the Good Ship W.H.S., which was all decorated in blue and gold, the Senior colors. Balloons dangled from the ship's top, while dainty printed programs, 9hlp-shaped nut cups, and yellow rose buds graced the tables. The spirit of sailing was prevalant throughout the program. After the banquet a double-feature show was enjoyed at Princeton. Captain Clifton Winger (president), Assistant Captain, Aurell Burkey , (vice-president), and shipmate Marvin Peach (secretary-treasurer) sailed the ship throughout the Junior year. In November of the Senior Year, the crew felt a need for some excitement, and docked in the W. H. S. gym to hold a carnival. A confetti-covered crowd of merry makers hurried from the fish pond to the dart stand, and after knocking over the milk bottles, found they could rest a bit while playing bingo. After a lunch at the refreshment stand or purchasing a novelty,Madame Minerva revealed the past, present,, and future of those attending. The funds of the carnival were contributed to the publication of The Walnut Tree. The Senior Play, MNc Marriage Allowed was given with much success on May the first. We were thankful that most of the ill winds blew over last year so that this year's rehearsals rolled by more smoothly.A portion of the profits from the Senior play will be spent in purchasing some sort of gift to leave to our Alma Mater in the hope that our class will not be forgotten. One of the largeet undertakings of this year was the publishing of this Walnut Tree. Contrary to previous years, the Seniors have financed the publication themselves without asking the business men to contribute because we appreciate their willingness so much in other ways they help us Father Time has turned the hours of this voyage into four short years. The crew, under the leadership of president, Gail Stone, vice-president, Aurell Bur-key, secretary-treasurer, Margaret Mau, and advisor, Miss Cochran, is now sailing toward its harbor, for graduation time is drawing near. Twenty-seven of the original crew have stood the galea and hardships of hlghschool life. It has beer a splendid voyage I The crew is looking into the future and hoping that it may hold as much brilliance and success as the past.
