, s. - C-ACADEMIC UNION fa ,. .1 w TQ Y ' 'A T 4. HISTORY OF THE CLASS OF 1931 ln every history we find recorded struggles and more struggles. The history of our class has not been an exception. For the past four years, we have struggled to- gether on the rugged pathway that has at last led us to this day. This has NOT been a HROSY PATHWAY, for all along the way, there have been thorns of hard- ships, disappointments, jealousies, indolence, and other thorns too numerous to men- tion, but We have at last torn away the awful thorns--and now have within our grasp our reward-a beautiful rose-A DIPLOMA. - 1 shall now attempt to give you a true history of the Class of 1931, portraying to you some of our struggles for the past four years, but regardless of these struggles, it has been a great game after all. Just as a game of golf, were it not for the haz- ards, THERE WOULD BE NO GAME. The members of the Class of 1931 who started their school career together were: Genevieve Wright, Margaret Cleary, Virginia Volkman, Murray York, Rosalie Ran- dall, Robert Kehoe and Roderick Huntington. This group continued its studies un- interrupted until it was joined by John Bourke in the fifth grade who, having skipped the fourth grade, decided to enter the ranks of the learned. Until reaching high school these students led a fairly uneventful school life with the exception of acquiring class rings in the eighth grade, and graduating from lower halls of learning to enter the four years of high school which are now being brought to a close. During this time many new members joined the class, namely: Mary Ready, Arlean Draheim, Catherine Williams, Lavinia Jones, Esther Lloyd, Mary Norton, Nellie Hughes, Reuben Jacobson, Francis Tuffey, Leland Davis, Rich- ard Myers, Maldwyn Lloyd, Ralph Roberts and Karl Kline. We acquired class rings in our junior year, of which we were very proud. As seniors we elected the following officers: John Bourke, president, Arlean Draheim, secretary, and Rosalie Randall, treasurer. Our class has been included in almost all activities. Lavinia Jones, Rosalie Randall, Roderick Huntington, John Bourke, Karl Kline and Robert Kehoe have par- ticipated in the Talcott Prize Speaking Contests, and both mathematics and essay prizes have been won by members of the class. The Academic Union Board has also had representatives from the class of 1931, namely: Arlean Draheim, Rosalie Randall, John Bourke, Robert Kehoe, Francis Tuffey, Murray York and Roderick Huntington. Several of our members have shown themselves to be athletes, especially in bas- ketball. They are: Genevieve Wright, Arlean Draheim, Rosalie Randall, Mary Ready, John Bourke, Murray York, Reuben Jacobson and Ralph Roberts. Our twelve years together are filled with pleasant memories and it is with re- gret and yet anticipation of an equally happy future that we leave our high school days behind. Mary Norton.
