SENIOR HISTORY Four short years ago, in September 1931, we were but a group of site locaters, entering a new land and looking for a new field where we could drive our stakes and claim a lot. We found a suitable location in the Freshman room and here we did little work except the driving of our stakes so we could gain a firm foothold for our later years. Our trials and misfortunes were many at first but under the skillful guidance of Miss Rosalia Marquart they were easily surpassed. In this hard struggle for future existence we left behind one of our original stake locaters, Jean Rockwell. We were a little more settled and accustomed to our new home when we entered our Sophomore year as rig-builders. This difficult task of rig-building progressed smoothly under the aid and skillful advice of Paul (Jake) Donnelly and in a few months the foundation of our life's career was well laid. Our smooth progress was interrupted by one disturbing and sorrowful incident, the death of builder Paul Stilson, small, but one of our ablest workers. As site locaters and rig-builders we had learned much to improve our trade and had become Masterworkmen, for we were now upperclassmen, ready to begin the drilling in our well of knowledge. First we selected our drillers, the foreman being Dick Sandford. Our first project was the Junior Play Nothing but the Truth,” under the direction of Mr. Coplai, our class advisor. Our next project was our Junior Prom and after that came our Junior-Senior Banquet, our farewell to those who would not be with us in the following year. At last we were almost within reach of our success, needing only to shoot our well of knowledge to gain it. With Mr. Coplai again as our class advisor, this last year was one full of pleasant memories, for Mr. Coplai was an able leader, ever-watchful of the welfare of his shooters. As shooters we sponsored our Senior play Come out of the Kitchen” and at the same time edited our year book “The Gusher.” Both were successful projects. Now we are looking forward to graduation and with regret we think of leaving behind our friends. For although our school years were filled with many trials and tribulations, they were also filled with many happy times, which more than overshadowed any dark cloud which might have appeared on our horizon. 22
