IN MEMORIAM Gertrude Klopf Dec. 2, 1913—Nov. 1. 1930. Mildred White Jan. 27, 1914—April 17. 1931. I saw you then—oh friend of mine. Your eyes with hope alight, In all the glory of your youth. And now God took your life. A knowing look of calm content. Is on your lifeless face Of pain and woiry and care. There never will be a trace. You strive no mere for worldly thi gs You’ve gained what we are wa ting for. You’re resting sweetly—oh so sweet, Safe within the heavenly door. God—we will not forget, We try so hard to know, That you had planned this well ahead. And thought it better so Oh put within our hearts the truth That she is happy too. And that she smiles upon cur t ar3, With many—or the few. We will be’ieve that all is well, With you, our angel friend. And hope to greet you bye and bye. When God demands our end. Virginia Legg

JUNE CLASS HISTORY A long, rough lane stretched before us as we, the brilliant freshman class of the fall of 1928, entered Central’s spacious halls to become the defenseless recipients of the hiiots and jeers of lofty upper classmen. To aid us along the way and to save us from our ignorar.ee concerning matters in general, we were given as helpers Miss Balla-my and Mr. Garlock, who ably guided us, tiresome and bothersome though we were. Also, in the spring of the folUwing year we chose as leaders to pilot us safely past sink holes in the muddy road of our sophomore and juniors years: Pr.sidsnt, Ernest Laetz; Vice-President, Peggy Pearsall; Secretary, Margaret La Berge; Treasurer, Don Picard; Sergeant-at-Arms, Albert Baker. The roadway becoming clearer as we steadily advanced, we decided to hold a class party at which the fun and entertainment would serve as an outlet for the suppressed feelings of the whole class. Wanting to enlarge our treasury, we sold candy at the bas ket-ball games, and later used the money to add to the sum used for making our J-Hop a gala evening, long to be remembered in the memory of those attending. In this, our Junior Year, we received recognition in various school activities, especially athletics. W e were also ably represented in debating by Howard Whitehead and in the all school play, Beyond the Horizon,” by Betty Berry. And then we entered that most important stretch of smoother, higher road called the Senior Year. The members chosen to lead us along the road this year were: President, Lyn MacPhail; Vi.e-President, Peggy Pearsall; Secretary, Iva Oviatt; Treasurer, Gedney Fenton; Sergeant-at-Arms, Clarence Kuerbitz. In the fall the Older Boys’ Conference was held in our city, and Joe Wiley was made our delegate. Later, to bring the many class members into cl ser harmony, we held a merry get-together party in the Little Theatre just before Thanksgiving. Again we were wrell represented in an all school play “Peg 0’ My Heait” with Clifford Swanson. Kathrine Dunlavey, and Russel Toeppner taking prominent parts. The Senior Play, “Daddy Long Legs,” wras a tremendous success, and the Senior Prom, which was held just before we entered on a rather rocky stretch of road, a stretch full of unseen pit holes, namely exams, was one of the high lights of the May events. As last activities, before our little road was joined to the broader, longer, more thronged highway of future life, we had our Class Breakfast and Swring-Out. Thus we, the Seniors of 1931, enriched and made more ably fit by our experiences at Central, do turn our faces ahead toward whatever may be awaiting us beyond the curve in life’s highway, stifling our sighs and regrets at leaving behind us that beloved, familiar place, Central High.
