SENIOR CLASS HISTORY CONTINUED It is conceded fact that the road to knowledge is attrac-tivelywide and leads directly to the High School and scores of youths'and maddens enter this edifice. It Is sad to admit, however, hat--many of these young people like the young SGypi'is-n ruler- become discouraged. because there are No royal roads -tfl education and they soon drop out cf the ranks of their struggling classmates abandoning the aspiration of , being a full fledged graduate. So it has boon in the case of this class, but fortunately others quickly stepped in and tonight there are forty in our ranks. As to athletics, the class of 33 is no mean class. Eighty per con t of the personnel of the basket ball team, which participated in the sectional tournament, belongs to us. In interclass activities, our class possesses the title of champion in basketball and track. To prove wo are not lacking in dramatic ability’ we, together with the class of 34 successfully staged The Antics of Andrew to a large, and appreciative audience. After careful consideration of the executive ability of'.this class, the following officers were unanimously elected; President, Henry Dunkleburg; Vice Pfesident, Ruby Sunday; Secretary, Lewis Edwards; Treasurer, Leota Robinson. In this class of 33 , whilr the girls are in the mihority in number, when it comes to knowledgdq, they are very much in the majority as the highest honors were carried off by two girls, Pearl Tobias beingt the Salutatorian, and Leota Robinson, the Valedictorian, For three years under its faithful sponsor, Miss Jesswein has the class of 33 lingered in the Hall of knowledge and searched its golden treasures and now under the flying colors-- Old rose and steel gray we arc about to leave its portals, each going his separate way, to find his niche in this great world of ours. But let us not be weary of well doing, Some of us may be called upon to sow, while others may reap; may the blessings that ever attended the noble and the good and the true, follow and abide with us, each and all, now and forever.
