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.
