®ltr (0rarlr FRESHMAN POEM I lie work in the grade school is over. And we’re in the first year high, Next year we’ll all he Sophies, If we will only try. We have the best of teachers, We have the best of hooks, We’d have the best of everything, If we only had the looks. Wc Freshmen sure are lucky, We’re the best class in the school, We always have our lessons, And we never break a rule. I’d rather be a Freshman. Because I have more fun. Than I’ve ever had in any grade, Since the days of my schooling begun. —Wilma Walter. TO THE CLASS OF ’31 Steadily, steadily, step bv step, The battle can be won; And from mountain peak to prairie wide, Thy praises will be sung. Rose and gold are the colors Of the Class of ’31, They will strengthen us in failure. And glory in work well done. The past has proven our value. The foundation is sturdy and strong; But there still remains tomorrow, For the world moves ever on. We have valiant friends beside us. One faithful throng are we. As the future slowly unveils itself, Undaunted our spirits will be. —Leonora Olari. Twenty-Eight 19 2 9

If so, then I am sure you would sympathize with Henry Becker, cashier of the Farmers’ State Bank and the leading character in the Senior Class play. Six months before the play opens. Henry had occasion to go to Chicago to secure a loan from Montgomery Walsh, president of the Loan and Trust Co. While walk- ing down the street a beautiful young lady accosts him and asks him to accompany her into the notorious n’ght club. The Green Mill, in search for her cousin. He consents but while seated within, the young lady suddenly throws her hands over her face and rushes out. Henry turns to find Montgomery Walsh standing behind him. who asks him who the lady was. It was then that Henry told the lie that involved so many people and required so many explana- tions to set himself right in the opinion of Montgomery Walsh. For Henry said she was his wife. How he calls upon his friend. Valentine Scott, who can explain everything, to help him out of his difficulty; and the many compilations, which arise, constitute the plot of this most enjoyable play. The Seniors repeated this play at Chatham under the auspices of the Methodist Epworth League. A full house enjoyed it a second time and the Seniors were pleased with the cash returns. Thirty 13 2 9
