' W 6724 time sneak Dear Old Hi I Years may come and go, dear old Hi, And we'll always know, dear old Hi, It was you who taught us, It was you who brought us, To our highest goal, dear old Hi. II Victories that we've won, dear old Hi, And our toil and fun, dear old Hip Teachers, kind and tender, We will still remember, Now our course is done, dear old Hi. C HORUS When we are parted, And are broken-hearted, We'll think of you, dear old Hi,' And recollections Will bring back affections That were so true, dear old Hi. Joys that we're feeling Are dimmed, for we know Our happy school days Are all of long ago,' But through a dim haze We'll still see those dream days, We loved them so, dear old Hi.

A 2 gk afa.....l.. if V. 5 mae mea A Senior History LL honor to the Senior Class of '29, the class that, not content to follow the time- worn customs pursued without question by previous classes, independently blazed its own trail and broke custom after custom established by long usage. No slave of custom and established mode was this class. Ever since its first appear- ance before the all-powerful empress of the study hall, it has fought its battles fear- lessly and successfully. As a result of its victories it has sometimes put on airs and smiled patronizingly down upon less remarkable classes. This pride was probably its only fault, but was necessary to make it the fascinating group that it undoubtedly was. Come, Seniors, let us gather round and summon forth the shades of our past achievements, and review the deeds that have made us famous. May these reminis- cences inspire us to perform in theifuture even greater feats with which to glorify the memory of our beloved class of '29. First come the ghosts of the many plays and operettas in which many of us have performed leading roles. Now approach with dignified demeanor the contests which some of us have won-Bible reading, declama- tion, music contests. Perhaps the most notable of these is Sarah's triumph at Columbia. Behold the active, powerful forms that come next. They, with their irrepressible vigor, seem almost real, for they are the athletic events in which our heroes have won renown. Here are basketball, football, and track teams of which our athletes formed the chief part. What devotee of sports will ever forget the shade before us now? It is the invincible Turner rushing for a touchdown! And here is the picturesque Daugherty entertaining tfrom the old gym floorl the crowds of basket- ball fans with his antics, yet withal winning a place on the All-Southwest squad. Look, Seniors, what is this exulting, rosy-hued apparition that comes so swiftly? Ah! who so false to his class as to forget that memorable campaign of '27 in which we gloriously defeated the Seniors and, under the guidance of our brilliant generals, suc- ceeded in placing Queen Ernestine upon the throne? This was our most famous shattering of ancient traditions. Henceforth King Jack's queen was to be chosen in a different manner. The climax is past, but several minor phantoms still pass before us. Here is the Junior-Senior Banquet of last year, by which we broke the old recep- tion tradition. The ancient Senior Hallowe'en party passes by in tears, for we did away with it. tWe will have something different or nothing at alllj Last, but not least, a brilliant Senior sweater of '29 flashes by. For many years various modest shades of gray, brown, blue, black, tan, etc., have adorned the mighty graduating class. We, however, imported into the staid old building a great lot of colorful car- dinal and blue sweaters that have managed to enliven both the scenes of our daily mental struggles and those of various athletic battles. . With all our innovations and eccentricities, let us never forget that we have Q exemplified well the seven cardinal principles of education that our Annual sets forth. N. 'Tis sure we are a healthy lot or we could not have cut such a figure in athletic circles. X Most of us, at least, have a fair command of fundamental processes-the rest were 1 too busy winning contests land making lovel to acquire them. I am of the opinion that a number of our girls know something about worthy home membership, but if they don't yet-it won't be long now! The boys are busy deciding on vocations. They will soon need them. As regards citizenship and ethical character, we admit our im- perfections, but claim that we excel in these particulars about as much as any other class. We have made use of our leisure time totherwise than in winning contestsl just as the average lad and lass of seventeen or thereabouts will. In conclusion, 0 fellow Classmates, may we always keep in memory's fond gal- lery the many pleasures experienced during our four-year High School voyage, as well as the various idiosyncracies and attractions of our High School heroes and heroines. -HALAINE WISE. , L.
