These men arc selected on the basis of their broad minded attitude toward education, and their willingness to give of their time to these ends. To few men in any community comes the opportunity for finer or more enduring service. The board member's every action is governed by the welfare of the schools: and his only compensation is the personal satisfaction that his labors have contributed to conditions which have resulted in a better moral tone in the community, and u quickened intellectual life for all.

Nellie Miller Motto: Always lead; never follow Flowkr: American Beauty Bose In September, 1926, on the first day of school, a timid group of students approached the High School assembly room for the first time. This was the Freshman class, uprooted from grade schools, transplanted to the garden of higher education, here to take firm root in the soil of wisdom, flourish, and burst into blossom, th«� handsome bouquet — the class of 1930. Not all of these tender plants had sprung from the same soil. Nineteen had been carefully nurtured in the West Point public school: nine in the rural schools and nine in the parochial schools. In the course of four years eight hardy plants, blighted by the strong rays of education permeating the High School, ceased further effort and withered. LeRoy Benne, during the Freshman year, attempted to lead us into higher paths of learning. Due to the strenuous effort ,LeRoy is no longer with us. The next ye. . his niece, Evelyn Benne, undertook the great task which he had left to be completed. During these first two years, Miss Esther Innis devoted much time and thought (which we needed) to us and her w'ork was highly appreciated by the aforesaid class. For the third time we met and organized as a Junior class. Margaret Graunke was elected president. Many activities took place, the main • ' ' he choosing of our rings. This year we had our first attempt at play production. I presented “It Looks Like Rain. We soon embarked on our last great flower festival — . , • Oelschlaeger, the sunflower in our class of roses, was nature-final campaign. Miss Trunkenbolz and Mr. Webster last year. We boast of having the best athletes, v;no ments. Our one great undertaking this year was th? A P :shh n.. ,e grew thin and pale. Perceiving this, the class of 19f l gave a greu .uet in oui honor. Jest and jollity ruled. Twfenty-nine of us have endured the frosts and drouths of a normal flower's life and our happy career has come to an end, but we are loath to leave the scenes of so many happy hours. At last we bid farewell to all these and go forth full of lusty life and burning with high hope for the future. Marshall G. Cook College Prep.

Mrs. Spray sponsored the class and Jane Richardson was elected as president. During this, the Sophomore year, they have as a sponsor, Miss Hildebrand, and as president, Margaret Johnson. The present enrollment is thirty nine, some having dropped out and others joining. They, as a whole, have taken part in every high school enterprise. They are proud of possessing among their members talented elocutionists, musicians and athletes, both boys and girls; the girls having won the interclass baseball tournament in their freshman year. They also claim the honor of having the majority of the representatives at the G. A. A. Play Day at Lincoln in 1930.

Two of the girls were sent with s of different classes to a G. A. A. convention at Lincoln. They are active in other school activities as well. Thirty-five per cent of the orchestra consists of Freshmen. Quite a number of the students were in Glee Club and took part in the Operetta, “The Lucky Jade.” There have been three parties this year; an outdoor party, a card party and a roller-skating party. All were well attended. All in all, the year of nineteen-twenty nine and thirty has been a pleasant one for the class of thirty-three.

The Dramatic Club was organized during the first semester, with Cora Frankfurt, chairman, Herbert Kollmorgen, secretary and treasurer, and Miss Hurdum, sponsor. The purpose of the club is to develop interest in dramatic art, and to cultivate oral expression. All members participated in at least one public performance during the school year. A one-act play, “The Game of Adverbs, was presented before the Christmas holidays, and “Solemn Pride also a one-act play, was given at convocation of Junior and Senior High students in honor of Lincoln's Birthday. “Mr. Bob, a two-act play, was recently presented to the public. The work of this club has been well received and the members are looking forward to continued activities in the future.

Miss Hurdur.i, lh« ‘ lass spo.uor and director of the play, received a gift from the Juniors in appreciation o: h •� • v;o-l . The action at first centered around a masquerade at the home of the self-made millionaire, Quackenbush, well played by Robert Heilman. Assisting him as hostesses were his two charming daughters, Rose and Violet, played by Clara Hensel and Grace Sass, and his sister, Daffy, Cora Frankfurt. Simpson, his secretary, George Gals ter, and the “black boy,” George, the butler, Marshall Cook, also were deeply tangled in the plot. Guests at the party were Reggy, the lazy one, Leslie Stoltzman, the Squire from Onion Center, Lumir Pospishil (and we’ll long remember that bouncing hat); his niece. Pansy, Dolores Goranson; and the astronomer, Jack Dawes, played by Elmer Pahl. (Probably the first time Elmer ever turned an eclipse). The entire party was transferred to a South Sea Island of Tom-Tom, in the last two acts where all were busy treasure hunting. Here they encountered a band of fierce armed savages, headed by the general Bula-Bula, Lotus Maack, and the Queen, Lula-Palaza, Irene Poledna. The colorful scenes, brilliant costumes, and the appropriate music by the high school orchestra added much to this successful production.

The operetta was directed by Josephine Conboy and the large audience which witnessed its presentation, was very much pleased with the excellence of the production. The beautiful love plot in this story was woven around the mysterious green jade ear, the disappearance of which causes consternation both in the Courteny home and among those responsible for its disappearance. Horace Ferguson, the “famous marksman”, who is a guest in the Courteny home is challenge ! not only upon his marksmanship, but also concerning his knowledge of the missing ear. Both John Endicott, Mary Ann's bashful aviator lover, and the Sheriff had reasons for believing that the “guest” from New York was not just true to form. Leading roles were played by Marshall Cook, Clara Hensel, Roland Oelschlaeger, Herbert Kollmorgen, Charles Beckenbauer, Lumir Pospishii, Cora Frankfurt, Deliene Hettrick, Grace Elliott, Iva Zeplin, Raymond Tonjes, Melvin Poeschl, Murray Wester-beck, Winona Miserez, Leslie Stoltzman John Meeske, Paul Baumann, and Willard Paul.

Elect Led by bis “Moose Paul the Cadets went through a queer season. At times the big red and white machine seemed to demonstrate a powerful scoring punch and then again it didn’t seem able to put over the winning touchdown when it was most needed. The bright spots of our season were the two ties that we brought against Norfolk and Creighton Prep, two of our toughest opponents. Zobel, our ‘‘flying Dutchman, was a constant threat to the enemies lines. Ducking low, he would tear the opponents’ line3 to shreds and then tear for the goal line. Zob was high scorer on our team and carried the brunt of the attack. The team averaged close to 159 pounds and was made of good fighting material. One thing that was outstanding on our team was the big center and the two powerful tackles When these three and the pony backfield went into action things happened. Fullback Galster was elected captain for next year. We know that “Gobo will do his best to fill “Moose’s shoes and big things are expected of Galster next year. t'nfjr Tirnith thro .3 r� _ . THE BASKETBALL TEAM The West Point High School Basketball Team has gone through another basketball season with honor, having a total score of 345 points to their opponents 207. We participated in the Wayne tournament at WTayne. Although we didn’t win the tournament at Wayne this year we put up a hard battle but the inability to put ti e ball through the hoop cost us the tournament. Sportsmanship was carried out to its fullest extent, and we are proud of our boys. The loss of four Seniors will be keenly felt, but the five other letter men including Schmidt, Galster, Heilman, Cook and Zobel ought to hold up the prestige of the West Point High School in Basketball Schmidt, captain elect for next year, and high point man, proved to be the nucleus of the team. It was Schmidt’s uncanny ability to put the ball through the hoop when it was needed that won for us many games. Paul at guard was the mainstay on the defense and opponents found his wide range of guarding and his superior height an obstacle to put the ball through the hoop. It was also through the smooth team work and co-operation of the players with one another, that we managed to win a Page Twenty five Back Row — Roland Oelschlaeger, Herbert Kollmorgen, Elmer Groene, Robert Heilman, Marshall Cook, Coach Cline, Kenneth Paul, Vein Hagedorn, Alfred Schmidt, George Galster, John Benne.

Club is endeavoring to carry The W. P. Club represents the only honorary society in the West Point High School. The club was organized in order to stimulate and promote athletics in our school. It is also the purpose of the organization to instill a true spirit of sportsmanship and fair play in the student body and the community at large.

It was a dramatic comedy, full of unexpected complications and emotional scenes. An Alabama belle mistakes the hero for a condemned criminal and insists on saving him from the electric chair, naturally, of course, much to his embarrassment. Fortune, material and romantic, knocks at our hero's door and in spite of the opposition of a scheming old professor and a designing widow, he proves his inherited ability in landing on top of the heap, sewing up a conditional legacy and walking off with the matrimonial prize.
