At last land had been sighted. and the group of immiorants from Hughes, Walnut Hills, Withrow, and Woodward High Schools. and even from the remote regions of .l1idgeway, Penneylvania. and Louisville. Kentucky. disembarked upon the shores of Western Hills High School with feelings of great hope and joy. It was not long before this group organized into a Senior Class, and to it was granted the privilege and honor of establishing certain traditions and customs. Among these precedents was the right of choosing the school seal and the school motto - L11x et Veritasi'a and the school c0101, maroon. The Senior Class has formed two traditional organizations, that 111C0101' Guard. and Civic and Vocational League Sponsors, and it trusts that the J uni01' Class will fulflll these duties as faithfully as they have tried to perform them. When the members of the upper grades began to organize various clubs. the Seniors were well represented in all activities, many of them holding important offices. At the beginning of the year the elass 10011 upon itself the responsibility of reporting all school activities to the daily papers. one of the reporters being salaried. lust before the Christmas holidays preparations 101' the Seni01 Dance were hegun This 311311 was a gala event being the first 11a111 1' niven at Western Hills High S1'.11110l chapel 011e11 by 1111211111113 0f the faculty and one to be long remem- hel'ed At Christmas the class had a Christmas paI t1 and took an active part in good Cheer and h01i11ay greeting among the poor and needy. In April the class gave a theater party. chaperoned by Miss Harper, at the, Erlanger Grand, the occa- sion being Fritz Lieberis presentation 01' i;Iiamlet, ' a play studied during the Senior year. The Senior Class also sponsored a picture Show, given 101' the benefit 111' the 51-11001 fund. Then came the most valued privilege, of the entire year- the authority to edit and publish the school Year Book. When in the future one looks at the first Year 11001-1 of VVestel'n Hills High School. he will have in his hand a hook representing the cooperation and school spirit prevailing in Western H ills. All things must have an end. and thus it was with the little band of immigrants who sailed on the 110011 ship Western Hills. At the close of the. sehooI year the Senior Class had a Class Day, a 111rtve1'-t0-be-1'01'g0tten day in the heart of every Senior. Thus the Senior Class sadly left the Promised Land, setting forth on the sea 01' life. carrying the injunction 0f the school motto: Lux et Veritas. EMILY K013511133, 529. Thirteen
