l SENIOR HISTCDRY Last night I had a dream-a very pleasant dream in fact-but strange, for it took me back to the fall of 1937 when I and ninety some other green little freshmen, the seniors of 1941, enrolled in Chilton High School and then showed all important events up to our graduation day, June 6, 1941. How scared we were that first day as we walked up and down the halls looking for the room with the right number. However, in a few days we all were able to act very unconcerned about the business of finding the right class room. Other matters of more importance occupied our minds. Many members of our class joined the band and glee clubs and took part in football, basketball, track, public- speaking and other extra-curricular activities. Many of them made names for themselves through this. When the report cards came out for the first six-weeks, the honor roll showed that ours was a pretty smart class and in every year following we have upheld the reputa- tion. Finally school was out and, after a much needed summer vacation, fewer, but, oh, so much wiser, boys and girls came back to school as sophomores. .As we were familiar with everything now we sailed through this year without any trouble. Nothing very sensational happened either. My dream next took me to some far away place. At first I didn't know where I was but after some inquiring I found that I was in Portland, Oregon, and whom should I see there but Mary Alice Peik, a member of our class for two years but now she was attending a Portland High School. Yes, we never know where some of our freshman friends will be by the time we are seniors. The next thing I knew I was dancing in An Old Dutch Gar- den with ever so many other dancers, swaying to music played Eddie Thiessen's way. I stayed long enough to see the Grand March led by King Lawrence Friederichs and Queen Virginia Greuel. Yes, the big event of the year, the Junior Prom given by the class of '41, was in full sway. Then I came back to my everyday surroundings in school. I and all the rest of my classmates, now seniors, were working ever so hard for we intended to graduate in June. At Christmas time, De- cember 27, 1940, to be exact, we gave the Senior Ball. The gym was decorated as a winter wonderland and the music was furnished by Tom Temple and his orchestra. The last leg of the journey was most interesting for so many exciting things were crowded into it. The argument over caps and gowns held the spotlight for some time. How happy most of us were when we found out we could have them. On May 28th, the class play, The Youngest, was given. On June 4th, we wrote our final exams and then, June 6th, the greatest 'day in the life of any high school student arrived. Arnold Schaefer gave the valedictory ad- dress and Florence Harlow the salutatory address and seventy-four young men and ladies received their diplomas and said their sad farewells to each other and to good old Chilton High. I was just dreaming that I was riding on a train headed for Chilton when I awoke. I have tried to figure out what connection that would have with the rest of my dream but all that I can think of is that I must have been on my way to a class reunion in some future year. Let's hope that part of my dream comes true the way the rest of it has. 121- 1 Q :Q IQ iQ l-QQ: TQ, ,Q A iQ Q Q Q Q IQ fQ Q 'Q Q Q ep, sq ' ,'.. E QQ Q .Q Q Q. fb :Q Q Q QQ.
