when the faculty decided we knew enough to become Juniors, we thought we were something. The Juniors anci Seniors had a class party down ai Indian Fields the first seroster. Then with the aid of the Seniors we put on a very successful play called 'Antics of Andrew , a farce in three acts. Wo felt we had to save for the banquet so we didn't have a party the second semester. We worked hard the vh ole year selling candy r.nd Christmas cords to earn money for the banquet. The sch eme of the banquet was carried out in an Indian plan--teppees, totum poles, and Indian writers and waitresses. Well, we enjoyed oure selves immensely with enterta nig the Seniors with music, songs, and speeches typical of Indians and followed by a dance. Again we had class officer election and the returns were: President-Thelma Eruce, Vice President-Howard Moyer, Secretary-Thelma Hadley, Treasurer-Henry Bays. Second semester: President-Fdward Walton, Vice Presldent--Evelyn Fox, Secretary-Waiter Priddy, Treasurer-Dorothy Lockinaw. Now the book of time has gotten towards the end and we do not need documents with written reminders to recall this last year of our high school life on pages 1931. Wo started out the year with Miss Jesswein to guide our way as we had a great deal of business thet needed someonewho really knew something more than we did, to help us along over the rocks and ruts. We had a class party attended by the majority of the class and was greatly enjoyed by those who did attend. The last semester was started with a gust of ambition on everyone's part. But we did have some pleasure, not all w rk. Mrs. Hartman, Bernice's mother, invited the senior class and Miss Jesswein over to surprise Bernice en her birthday. She was surprised, and everyone had a good time with veny good refreshments. This must have been a year for parties so that we could remember everyone.

- - -e rft3S HISTORY As we turn back the pages of tine each page, brings vague recollections of happy days gone by. As we turn to the front, the first thing that we see is the pages of our year when we were Freshmen. Everyone thought we were green , but we thought not, for you see, at Stunt Night we won the prize for our very clever idea about Fashion. We enjoyed ourselves at the two parties that year under the care of Mr. V eine as cur sponsor--the first was a Hallowe'en masquerade. We had class elections each semester and the first semester's officers were: President-Thelma Bruce, Vice President- James Moore, Treasurer-Bud Friddy, Secretary-Dorothy Lockinaw, Second Semester: President-Waiter Hartman, Vice President-Maxine Meyer Secretary-Howard Meyer, Treasurer-Esther Scofield, Reporter-Frances Shafer. As we turn the pages we see, on Page 1932, that we entered schoc.t again as Sophomores with Miss Buell as our Sponsor. We had very little social activity because we studied very hard so that next year we could be full-fledged Juniors. We enjoyed a party the first semester and learned a new game called Cootie. We then took ourselves off to Indian Lake and had a picnic with the Freshmen. Although it was very cold we had a fairly good time. For our Sophomore class we decided that we should have a class motto, a flower and and colors. Our motto was: To be not to seem ; with our colors old rose and silver, and the American Beauty rose, lection of officers were: President-Esther Scofield, Vice President-Maxine Moyer, Secretary-Howard Moyer, Treasurer-Daniel Cffil. Second semester: President-James Davis, Vice Fresident-Thelma Bruce, Secretary-Waiter Friddy, Treasurer-Vivienne Stover. As we thumb through the pages we come to page 1933 which recalls a groat deal of hard work but which brought on a lot of fun. Then,

March twenty-eighth Elinor asked to her house. We surprised Miss Jessv.-ein, vh ose birthday was the Thursday preceeding that date. It was a potluck affair and of course, everyone had a good time. As our funds were running low we had a play called The Ranch of Sunset Trail a three act Comedy. And with the assistance of the Juniors who had equal parts put it on. Work was fast piling up and nothing less than ambition would conquer this enemy, that was fast gaining on us. W4th Edward Walton as our Valedictorian and Henry Bays as Salutatorian we turn our feet and eyes toward the last stretch, this commencement week, and look with curiosity trying to probe the depths of the near future, seeing what is in store for us. Although we look bock over the last years with regret we still are happy to be out and try our hand at luck and see what will be our destiny. So with regrets and sighs we are bidding our childhood days and leaving our places to be filled by someone who will strive to fill them as they can.

Second son ester: President-Waiter Priddy, Vice President-Thelma Hadley, Secretary-Henry Ba s, reasurer-Esther Scofiel. ----------Elinor Kretchmap ----------Vivienne Sibson
