THE CHINOOK BREEZE 19 May. 1930 PRESIDENT'S PROCLAMATION I, the president of the Senior Class, realizing that we have at last, after many long and difficult lessons and various conflicting experiences, arrived at the goal of our undertaking and completed the course of high school education, do hereby name this, the 13th day of May Anno Domini, nineteen hundred and thirty, as the greatest day of all our student lives. In recognition thereof, I do hereby proclaim t as a day to be set aside from all the rest for anniversal celebration in the making of speeches and lifting our voices in praise and jollification, and the pouring forth of various yells and songs of subtle and diverse significance that the air may abound with the echo of our tongues rejoicing. I do likewise decree that the teachers and principal of our school, to whom we. one and all. feel so deeply and eternally indebted, shall be well remembered in the pouring forth of our gratitude, and that none of our parents or friends shall be forgotten in the returning of thanks for the privileges they have for so long placed so fully at our youthful disposal; but that we shall with grateful and sincere heart remember what cause we have to be grateful to each and everyone for all these mercies, and shall, in all our rejoicing, give thanks for all that we have proven to be so gozrd. Therefore, as we look back over the past, with all its great and wonderful victories and achievements. and look forward to the future, with all its yet more wonderful promise of great and glorious things yet to come, and mighty and marvelous deeds awaiting our hands for the doing, we must enter into this abbration in the proper spirit of young men and women, fresh from the mint of their chosen high sch:ol, and detemining to put before the people, who may come to be our guests, the very best demonstrations of our ability to entertain them of which we are capable, not only as a proof of what we have r rmplished, but as a promise of the fulfillment of all the resolutions we have made for the life to como so s on. And to you. friends, who have made all this achievement so beautifully possibly for us. and who therefore have a right to expect of us the very noblest example of every efTort it is our pleasure and privilege to render, we are indeed proud to speak the words that carry with them from all the class a cordial and grateful welcome. —Joe Sackett CLASS DIAGNOSIS Ladies and Gentlemen:—The Class of 1930, rbout to go the way of all the world, and to pass out into the Great Beyond, salutes you. even in the face of approaching death. It is with the most profound regret that I find it necessary to bring before your attention this evening the serious—indeed. I may well say hopeless—condition of the Class of 1930. We have known for several years that the Class was in a somewhat critical state of health. There has been no chance for any doubt about that, for the combination of disorders, under which she has been suffering has been only too clearly manifest, and the symptoms of her disease unmistakable. Indeed, for the past four years, her head has been so rapidly swelling with her greedy accumulation of information in the Chinook high school, that it has now assumed such gigantic proportions in each of her thirty-f ur individual parts, as to cause r 11 who know her, or who have come into even occasional contact with any part of her. the most 8eri:us uneasiness lest it should burst with its treasures overflow cf learning, and scatter its treasures of knowledge broadcast upon an unappreciative public. She also has many dizzy spells, caused, it is believed, by the immense heights to which she has climbed in her search for wisdom—the blood rushes to her head and face in mighty floods of blush and bloom, whenever she is asked a question there is the least chance for any suspicion that she may not know the answer, be it of this and all other worlds, past, present, or to come—w'hile her heart, with all its thirty-four throbbing pulses, has become abnormally heavy with the thought of parting soon to come, and the anticipation of the last painful struggle. In addition to this, she still carries many stabs to her vanity, that seem greviously slow to heal, received from unexpected failures and mistakes; and various scars, which even her massive pride has not yet been able to thoroughly obliterate from her plastic understanding, as well as several painful bumps and bruises, the result of stumblings while attempting to run too fast and outstrip her competitors. or climb too far above the averages of the high school precedent, in a strange and unwholesome fever of desire to finish her race before the appointed term had been fulfilled. She is also exceedingly nervous, and hopes that you will bear patiently this evening with her frequent lapses of memory, for her overworked and overloaded brain has begun to wander,—even more than usual—and she has become subject to curiously unaccountable spells” and fits” which she hopes you will not think natural or usual in her behavior, for only the wise nurses in charge of her case have been found able to control these peculiar symptoms that approach the appearance of insanity. Year by year, too, she has grown smaller and smaller and smaller, shrinking under the weight of ponderous study laid upon her from her former mammoth constituency to the present insignificant few. Under such conditions, who could expect, or even wish her. to linger longer in this dreary vale of tears and partings? No. there is no longer any hope. The class of Nineteen Hundred and Thirty has become altogether too wise to linger longer among the struggling youths and aspiring maidens of Chinook High School.
