-OUT5 U eavs The otlier day we received an invitation from the great author. The Spirit of Angola High School, to visit him in his library and to see his latest hook. We accepted and when we arrived, a beautiful green and white volume met our eyes. The title page displayed these lines: “FOl'R FI LL YEARS OF THE CLASS OK 1 ‘Ido The first chapter of this book was entitled “Freshmen.” It told of a brilliant class of young people beginning a high school career with great enthusiasm, of their active part in school activities, and of their remarkable musical and athletic ability. The second chapter was a record of even greater success for this same group. The title again was simple, “Sophomores.'’ The class portrayed was a little older and perhaps a trifle more sophisticated. It was well represented in band, orchestra, and athletics. The sophomores upheld the age-old tradition of initiating the freshmen in the time-honored fashion. The third chapter had a very suitable title, “Juniors.” There the narrative dealt with the presentation of the junior class play, “Sound Your Horn.” Another great achievement was the banquet given the seniors. The last and most important chapter of this great volume was entitled “Seniors. This chapter told the story of the survival of the fittest. Out of the fifty boys and girls entering high school in 1931, forty are being graduated. Thirteen of these forty have spent their entire twelve years of school life here. They are Thomas Owens. Lorine Ilanselman. Wvmond Ritter, Virginia Parr, Willis Roberts, Thelma Goodrich. Opal Blackburn, Wayde Cleckner, Hershel Eber-hard, Jack Elliott. Robert James, Carl Wert, and Monzclla Wilson. Through their four years of high school life they have had many experiences and gained a great deal of knowledge. Text books have been mastered and academic courses passed. Lessons have been learned in the halls of the beloved school building or on the gymnasium floor. Success has been tasted when the high school band and orchestra won great honors. Stage fright has been overcome when the students appeared before the footlights in minstrel shows, operettas, and plays. Rich and full have been the four years of high school life. The great volume ends with the termination of these four years of arduous work and play by the greatest achievement of all—Commencement. DOROTHY KNISELY.
