And now we've reached that mountain top So high to childish eyes, But still much higher mountain peaks Before our visions rise. Too well we know, as on we go, That hardly will we iind The help and cheer we have found here- From teachers true and kind- Our future path will rougher lie Beneath our weary feet. Our thoughts will turn with longing To school days, fair and sweet. And often in the future, Oh we may weary grow-- But with courage high to do or die- Oh onward let us go. Let us all vow, both here and now, Though we may not win renown Let us all be worthy always Of our class, our school, our town. E JYGW 1 IOIQ - .I OIQICIIO OIG!

, 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.

Q31 1 Y J, , 4. ' , c UPLIFTINC THE PUBLIC Without a loophole of doubt, the play's the thing. The seniors of Water fully realized their golden opportunity, nay, their solemn duty to the public presented to the public on October 17, 1930, a worthy drama of an educational A College Townf' Not one of the caste but played his role with a high minded and faithfully attended most of the rehearsals with a sense of benevolent vi Constantly did the players keep before them the lofty ideal of presenting the p with an ideal performance. When the rehearsals had reached the point where the play could be put on deep and proper feeling by the interpreters, the grand event was staged, and you to see it. If your particular pal were playing the leading juvenile role, you sq dered your substance for a front seat. If you were more fortunate, you invited lady and sat with the rest of the gang and their ladies in the balcony. The cu rang up promptly and disclosed that tall girl who wears a yellow silk jersey ar school, arriving as a college week-end visitor. Anon appeared the man who back from college last fall-you never knew he could act. He couldn't. The president, the jester, and another came on disguised. as females. You appla madly. Their families sat in the third row, with strained expressions, as th each member had a toothache. The play went on until suddenly there was an a silence on the stage. Came a sepulchral voice from the wing. The play went you never found out what happened. Between the acts, you craned your neck to see whom that new girl with th hair came with, and who that fellow was that brought Joyce.

You went home, and decided to read the icism in the School News the next Thursday. You shook all the performers b hand, and shouted at them in the postoffice how well they did, and they clen their teeth-and thanked you. lf they were girls, you looked at the flowers were wearing and they blushed.
