24 clyziifotgzj of fge Ufam of 255 George Riley Last night I went to a local theatre. The show that I saw struck me as rather unusual. I liked it though because I understood it. At least I think that I understood it. I'll tell you about it- This show was the story of a group of children. It pictured how they grew up and how each followed his or her way through the foundation of his life. This made it interesting-and different. But, I'm getting ahead of my story. The first part of the movie showed the little group wandering into school for the first time. This was in September, 1926. They were really a bewildered group as they viewed this complex thing called school for the very first time. After this, and for the following twelve years, each arose, washed fmore or lessj, ate breakfast, and started for were drivenl off to school. This seemed quite amusing. Then, a little further along, our group was found to be in the higher grades. Their talents were much improved. Quite so. For by now they could throw blackboard erasers quite far-and quite straight. But, they were headed for bigger things. Next, our group was shown entering junior high, and then came an- other big change. Out of the single classroom and into the great expan- sive halls they went. CAnd they usually went in the wrong direction.J It was no uncommon sight to see a small group peering into the window of a classroom door where they were supposed to be, but weren't. But despite the perplexing situations, our group wandered still more amazed into high school. The last part of this movie showed the little group all grown up. Now they were dignified f?l seniors. Only at times were they the noisy, rowdy group that entered school these few long years ago. They were go- ing to graduate, but they weren't as anxious to leave school as they thought they were. This is the part of school that each member of the group would hold forever dear in his heart. And what treasured memories the good times of that last year would be a few years from now. And even though there was hard work, they would always look upon these school years as a good time, forgetting the hardships which they encountered. Lastly, as the picture faded, I saw them leaving school. They were leaving behind the part of their lives which they loved so well. But that school will be with them always. It was a good show.--You should have seen it-

l26l cmiofz Cyan cbfiifot Rex Hungerford Three years ago under the banner of the mighty freshmen We, the members of the junior class, entered into an era of enlightenment propos- ed to last four years and to better adapt us to our future livelihoods. With this proposal before us We chose Mrs. Weaver, Bill Strayer, Louis Pascoe, and Bob Habicht to take up the duties of faculty adviser, president, vice- president, and secretary-treasurer. We conceded a large portion of our extra-curricular activities to ath- letics, the music department, and various clubs. The following year, having found we had received promotion to the rank of sophomores, We selected John Miller, Bill Strayer, Rex Proud, Bob I-Iabicht, and Louis Pascoe as faculty adviser, president, vice-presi- dent, and secretary and treasurer. Again we were Well represented in distinctive clubs, musical organi- zations, and sports. We were moved to grave sorrow by the death of Marie Rudoni, a Well-known and beloved member of the class. And so this is the reputation we had Won when we appointed Helen Krebs, Martha Trapp, Robert Wesner, and Rex Proud as faculty adviser, president, vice-president, and secretary-treasurer to carry on the splendid leadership rendered us in the past. Up to date We have continued our activities in the realm of extra- curricula.
