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.

The lower classes came to school, as usual, to find the major portion of the students absent. CThey all agreed the day was utterly ruined because we weren't there.J At Volta Dam we were taken through the Power House and shown over the grounds. We spent the day eating, playing games and dancing and returned home tired but happy. 1 9 2 8 Ninvh-er

CLASS WILL We, the Class of 1928, in thirty individual parts, being about to pass out of this sphere of education in full possession of a crammed mind, well- trained memory and almost superhuman understanding do make and pub- lish this our last will and testament: We give and bequeath to our beloved Superintendent Prof. M. C. Bow- man, our sincere affection, our deepest reverence, our heartiest gratitude and the whole unlimited wealth of our eternal memory. We give and bequeath to the dear Faculty, who has been our instruc- tion in all the wisdom of the ages, a sweit and unbroken succession of restful nights and peaceful dreams. No longer will they have to worry whether or not we prepared our lessons. It has been a hard strain on them, for Seniors are said to be at all times and under all conditions diffi- cult to handle. But they have all done their duty and verily now shall they have their well-earned reward. To the school in general, we leave Mr. Johnson, the Janitor, providing they are as obedient to him as we were. To the Juniors, we leave our Senior dignity of which we have an over- abundance. We also leave them our vacated desks and a book on Child Care to help them in taking care of the coming Freshmen. To the Sophomores, we leave our quiet and reserved manners of which they are sorrowfully in need. To the Frosh, we leave the ladder we used in gaining the road to Fame. The following may seem but trifling bequests, but 'we hope they may be accepted not as worthless things, lavishly thrown away, because we can no longer keep them but as valuable assets to those who may receive them and a continual reminder of the generosity to heart, displayed in our free and full bestowal: Forrest Bough leaves his ability to raise turkeys and his drag with the women to Clarence Jewell. Lillian Bakko wills an insured package, in which will be found a pair of dimples, her dainty and tiny figure and a talent for dancing to Vera Rowe. Edith Burley bequeaths her unused diet and her love for playing Leap Frog to Ruth Clark. , Irene Burrows bestows on Matt Eoyle her expertness in typing, her ability to drive a Ford and all of her giggles. To Earl Kennedy, a skin you love to touch , and her flaxen hair is left by Ethel Berg. Steven Bodner wills his desire to become a minister and his over-sup- ply of bashfulness to Alex Childerhose. George Ford leaves his love for arguing and his studiousness to Adam Gossack.
