BELT BUCKLE SENIOR CLASS HISTORY In September, 1924, forty-six pioneers set out upon a journey, expecting to arrive at the summit of the Mountain of Knowledge within four years. These pioneers were the forty-six boys and girls who started high school here four years ago. The first year spent on this trip led them across the Desert of Trial to the foothills around the mountain. Many seeing the long climb ahead of them, fell out of line, or tiring, dropped at the wayside. The leaders on this first stage of the journey were Miss Wanda Sifford, Henry Larkin, Mildred Tuura and Lillian Bakko. Asthey reached the Foothills of Sophistication they looked back and they were proud that they had made the journey with so little mishap, and gazed with pitying eyes at the group just appearing on the horizon. Their leaders, now were Miss Mary Huston, Raymond Kennedy, Myron Johnson, and Ethel Ranta. The pioneers now bent towards the task before them in earnest and crossed the River of Conceit successfully 3 many of them held places on the football and basketball teams, and all earned excellent marks. Their Junior Prom was adjudged by many as the best ever given. Their leaders during this time were Miss Helen Ryan, Ethel Ranta, Mildred Tuura and Lillian Bakko. At last they reached the summit of the Mountain of Knowledge-led by Miss Lillian Mares, Myron Johnson, George Ford and Lillian Bakko. This year they excelled especially well in athletics, good marks, and publishing their year book. They procured as the symbol of their trip a ring. The colors they were represented by were old rose and silver, a motto, song and yell were chosen. Thirty of them reached the apex of their climb and with mixed feelings of regret for the passing years, satisfaction for an ideal attained, and hope for the future, looked into the distance where they could see the Mountain of Higher Knowledge and beyond that the Sea of Happiness. 1 -Helyne Remington.
