SENIOR CLASS HISTORY In September of 1918 a group of excited children were seated on little red chairs in the primary room. There was bashful curly-headed Jack, jolly Agnes, cima with her flaming locks; blushing Lena; demure little Eva; the little black-eyed Susans, Leota and Leona Case, and obstinate Ada. It proved to be a fascinating and successful year and all were promoted to the second grade. I o this small group of industrious pupils were added Doyle Gueck and Grace Showalter. Phey proved to be a worthy addition and were promoted with the others at the end of the term. I here were no additions made to the class in the third year and this group of ten. througfi perserverance. approaching the fourth round in the ladder of knowledge and mounted it together. In the fourth grade who should enter upon the scene of action but Ailcnc Alberti with her freckles and flying pigtails. Mable Moore also joined them here. 1 hey opened their arms in the fifth grade to let Emil Venhaus and Dorcathca Yaplc join their number. I he fifth grade was creditably passed and they were now ready to en- ter the Junior High. Tjje first year in this new environment found them losing one of their number. Mable Moore. Mildred Stewart. Allen Culver and John Minnick, a sweet, shy. lad, joined the ranks in the seventh grade. The next year they greeted Wayne Hiatt and Helen Benedict, a small country lass with flaxen hair. The much dreaded eighth grade exams were passed and they were readv to enter High School. A much larger and older group of boys and girls assembled upon the arrival of Sept. 1. in 1925. They were eager, yet a little shy, fearing ridicule from the upper classmen. Among those added to our group were: Helen Brown. Freeda Calhoun. Paul and Earl Collicott. Alice. Dora and Cora Cot- ton. Harold Joseph, Mildred Johnson, Alice Karash. Leona Lathrop, Forrest Long, Leonard and Louise Mayo, Lucile Phelps, Laura Richard, Mable Aoiles and Homer Yerton. Mable Moore rejoined us. They moved into the new building during this year. Later Loren Saladen joined the class in the tenth grade and Loren Stanton, Beth Marples and Myrtle Colton in the eleventh. Nineteen twenty-nine found them approaclrng their goal, the coveted twelfth and last round of the ladder of Public School education. 1930 Page twenty-four

 7he Cambraskan He sits, a turbaned Oriental, undisturbed in solitude, Raptly gazing: at the magic globe of crystal set before him, An augurer it is, possessing fickle whim and mood. Over its shining surface glides his fingers, ochre-lmed and slim. The shimmering shifting lights begin to leave, A mauve-like cloud obscures the rainbow tints. He watches yet more closely, the better to receive What it chooses to portray, of the future gain a glimpse. For this world-famed wizard on his myriad-cushioned throne Has been sought by Cambridge seniors anxious-eyed, insisting That he use the knowledge he so often times has shown. Would their barque reach haven safely, life’s treacherous shoals resisting? Suddenly beneath its clouded surface, familiar forms are flitting. Allen Culver, in a neat tonsorial parlor, customers serenely shaving, Agnes Moused on her chestnut locks a nurse’s cap is fitting, John C. Minnick, surgeon, world renowned, a sovereign's life is saving. Eva as a playground superintendent, amusing children is revealed, Ailene Alberti on a brilliant, lighted stage is singing, Jack, earnestly advising “Try chiropractic and be healed.” Ada, prosecuting lawyer, gives reports they find full stinging. On the burning sands of Egypt treads an archeologist, our Doyle, The twins, Eeota and f.eona, are the idols of the screen. Helen Benedict in role of charming housewife puts potatoes on to boil. Of a West Coast college. Forrest has become the worthy dean. y y y y y yQy y • y y y y y y y Page twenty-six
