ZEPHYR US, 1931 R. Morrow R. Bergstrom J. Waffle H. Tilander Miss Wooton Miss Beatty May Seniors 1931 The May seniors, class of ‘31, made their appearance in the dark, dense forest of a high school career three years ago. With each member of the class felling, hewing, sawing the huge timbers of scholarship, student activity, and athletics, they have reached the other side of the forest, the trail behind them blazed wide and clear under the leadership of Ralph Morrow, president of the class for all of those three years. The felling of those majestic trees of scholastic honor was interspersed with social events, the first of which was the sophomore party. During the second year, “Adam and Eva was presented as the junior play. The junior prom, carried out in an “iceberg - theme, had a beautiful setting and was indeed a credit to the class. During their senior year the class was successful in its work to the “nth” degree. The senior ball, resplendent with glittering Christmas trees, was a huge success. The senior play, “Lucky Break”, even better than “Adam and Eva , was yet another huge success. Then in May, with baccalaureate and the senior picnic and the class banquet, the mighty waters of the Columbia came in view—their goal at last! On May 15, the only standing tree left, fell with a mighty splash into the blue water—commencement. Officers President . Ralph Morrow Vice-President . Robert Bergstrom Secretary . Josephine Waffle Treasurer . Helen Tilander Advisers . Miss Betsy Wootton, Miss Ruth Beatty (23)

Harold Ystad “I only ask that for¬ tune send a little more than I can spend.” Football 4-6-8; “A” Club 4-5-G-7-8; Senior Ball Committee 8 . Why? Why are trees so big and green— Why are there flowers that bloom in the spring? Why is the earth, and why is the sun? Why is the moon bright when day is done? Why is the heavens so far away— Why are some sad, while others are gay? The answer is this—“We ' ve things to live for”. There’s things that are beautiful In the outdoor: There’s flowers so rare and birds in the trees; And they make one happy, whenever one sees; A forest so mighty; But one cannot know Until he is there where the big trees grow. That these are the lumber that builds the homes. Far greater than poets express in their poems Is the wonderful thrill whenever one sees The wonderful giants that God called “trees.” —Jeanette Shannon ( 22 )
