Class Motto—The elevator to success is not running. Take the stairs. K K CLASS HISTORY One September morn in 1918. the Spirit of the Class of 1030 took off under the guidance of Hazel Hatch. The first passengers were Verl Clayton, Lyle Keller. Ethyl Baughman, Alberta Sundberg, Mary Wall, and Mary O’Donnell. The next two flights were under the pilotage of Maude Horner. The new pas- sengers were Marjorie Asquith, Etlielin Ray, Louise Bliss, Clair Kreider. Carter Powell, and Mary Morse, while Mary O’Donnell went elsewhere. The fourth, under the Pilot Anna Seeker, was notable only in that Louise and Marjorie dropped out (parachute). On the fifth flight, with F'ern Wingate as Pilot. Ruth Speer and Helen Hatch signed up. On the sixth take-off with Betty Cutler, the list remained the same; hut the fol- lowing year with the same leader F.ula Duflield came and Marjorie returned. The next flight, under Josie Baughman, saw two more passengers added—Orval Wingate and Vernon Hinman. Here a great change took place. We got a new ship to accommodate the large load of travelers and dubbed it the Class of 1030. The sailing list was as follows: Verl Clayton. Lyle Keller, Ethyl Baughman. Alberta Sundberg. Mary O’Donnell, Mary Wall. Sumner Curtis, Mary Morse, Ruth Speer. P’.ula Duflield. Carter Powell. Clair Kreider, Ethelin Ray, Marjorie Asquith, Max Risinger. Ramona I.eigh, Ver- non Hinman. Orval Wingate, lone Spurgeon. (Jail Stice, Forrest Lincoln, and Helen Hatch. Our first navigator was Miss Schemel. As Sophomores we added Mabell Hornbaker anil Bronald Spurgeon. Mr. Webb saw us through successfully. Our third year we picked up Louise again but lost Max. With Miss F'ennessy as navigator we gave what we will always think was the best Junior-Senior Banquet ever given. Now—as we take off for the last time, we pick up Woodrow Sanders, and Max again comes back. Miss Fennessv is still our trustworthy pilot. Soon we will land our ship after a tempestuous storm of High School gales, and it is with mingled feelings of joy and sorrow that we realize we will never again “stunt as a high school class.
