Signed and sealed this fourteenth day of May in this year of our Lord, nineteen hundred and thirty-one. In witness whereof our names and seal are hereby attached: 5 I I I I Claire Kellogg Marion Bulow Catherine Zeier SENIOR CLASS HISTORY In September, 1927, the present senior class entered high school. We were taught all the things needful for freshmen to know. and some otherslj By October of that year we were deemed capable of electing officers, and selected the following people: Dorothy Anderson, president, Harry Seanor, vice-president, Iola Berndt, secretary, and Sterling Naill, treasurer. Even as freshmen, we took part in a large number of school activities and so were particularly well-equipped to become sophomores. The officers of the class during the sophomore year were: Allan Bunker, presidentg Marvin Fish, vice-president, Sterling Naill, treasurerg and Paul Mefferd, secretary. Dur- ing this year, we had the opportunity of teaching the class of '32 what the class of '30 had taught us by initiation. Also during this year, we presented an assembly program, produced some first place speakers, and edited an issue of the We-Go. When we became juniors, we again elected members of the male sex to conduct class affairs. Marvin Fish was elected president, Kenneth Curran, vice-president, Ed- ward Fairbank, secretary, and Thomas Lynch, treasurer. This year was marked by much participation in athletics, oratory, and other extra-curricular activities. When jun- ior play time came, we inaugurated a new idea by putting on three one act plays instead of one three act play. The plays presented were: The Boy Comes Home, Grandma Pulls a String, and The Valiant. The final event of our third year was the junior-senior pro- menade. For the first time, it was held out of town,-at the St. Charles Country Club. September, 1930 began what has been the biggest and best year of high school- our senior year. Again it was decided that girls were too weak to hold office and thus the boys manfully took up the burden. Edward Fairbank was president, Sterling Naill, vice-president, Ernest Benson, secretary, and Marvin Fish, treasurer. Among the things accomplished during our last year were a reception for the fresh- man girls, a return tea for the juniors and faculty, participation by many boys and girls in athletics, public speaking, and club work. Most of the organizations were headed by seniors as presidents or captains. The senior play was presented on class night and was the three act play, Mr. Pim Passes By. The final thing for which our class considers itself outstanding is the fact that it is the largest class to be graduated from West Chicago Community High School-forty- seven members! VVe believe that much of our happiness in high school has been due to the advice of Miss Koupal who has been our class sponsor for the past two years. ll

They were no longer green freshmen, and they were going to prove it hy giving the new freshmen a really honest to goodness hard initiation. The new Sopho- mores did this, and certainly showed the freshm-.n their places. About a week after school started the Sophs had their first class meeting. Here they nominated and elected their class officers. The ones elected were: Royal Day, President: Ruth Sieman, Vice-Presi- dent: lildred Lee, Treasurer: and Frederick Buchanan, Secretary. Ifehruary twentieth the Sophs put on a patriotic program. The program consisted of a play, Solemn Pride which dealt with a letter Ahraham Lincoln sent to Mrs. llixhy, a mother who lost live sons in the Civil VVar. ln addition to this, four girls and four boys ol the sophomore class showed their ahility as Minuet Dancers. Last hut not least lidward llrosseau,our promising orator, gave a force- tul speech on the kindness of Lincoln. Athletics were not neglected hy the sophomore class. Practically all the hoys went out for foot- hall, haskethall and track. Even if not all were successful they, at leavt, showed We-Go that they had tried. Ray VVerdell, whose folks do not allow him to play foothall, went out for Cheerleading. and hashful Ray got on the squad. Two of our most important athletic men were forced to drop ath- letics for a year: Royal Day who was hurt at the York-NVe-Go foothall game. and Louis VVolH who received iniuries from an unpleasant sleigh ride. Almost all soph girls ioined the G. A. A. and made fairly good showing in the inter-class tournaments. May VVollfl, llelphine Chesnut and several other girls were outstanding girl athletes. At the end of the year the Soph put out the last edition of the We-tio. Fred Buchanan and Florence Adda llishop were elected editors-in-chief. The husiness part of the paper was taken care of hy Glen Lynch and La Von Kremer. Thomas Linton was elected Ioke liditor. while the rest of the Soph class acted as English censors. This capahle stali puhlished a reputable XVe-Go. NVe owe much of our success to our class advisoi, Mrs. Iones, and the Soph class of 1930-Sl should like to take this opportunity to thank her for the help she has given us in making our sopho- more year so pleasant and successful.
