LA CAMPANILLA THE SENIOR CLASS HISTORY HE Senior Class of Nineteen Hundred and Thirty-Two might be spoken cf as the corner-stone in the foundation of the College High School. We, the class of Nineteen Hundred and Thirty-Three, are the founders of the now well-established Club, Weusnco. At the time of its beginning, we, perhaps, did not realize the full Significance of this club, did not grasp the fact that we were making a tradition which each class would follow and uphold. We came to this full realization only when the great task of selecting a name for this organization fell upon us. A task not arduous, but difficult because of the necessity of arriving at a name which would hold a meaning, not only for us, but for all the classes who would succeed us. We were able to accomplish the selection of a name with the able assistance of our adviser and organizer, Professor Roy W. Hatch. Now each ninth grade class forms the Club, Weusnco. We are the proud editors of SPARKS from which THE CRIER has grown. However, we have no desire to compare our humble, first efforts with the finished product which has evolved from our beginnings. We felt the necessity of our school's being represented by a printed publication. We wanted to put our school in line with other schools and have it favorably compared. To do this, it was necessary to have sturdy organizations backing us in order that we could take our place. SPARKS is not in the same category with THE CRIER. It was not even to be termed a school paper, but it was circulated throughout the student body and an active interest was taken in it. This interest showed us that the members of the College High School wanted definite measures taken toward bringing out a publication which would represent the school as a whole. We feel that our purpose and our efforts are rewarded, especially as they are supplanted by the successful CRIER. The deepest gratitude of the Senior Class goes to Professor W. Paul Hamilton whose unfailing efforts and help made SPARKS a Success. It is our triumphant boast to be the first graduating class whose members have attended the College High School from the seventh grade through to the twelfth. We leave the school with the hope that we have helped to build up firm traditions and strong purposes for the classes following us. We, as a class, have worked hard to maintain standards which we want our successors to uphold in order that they, too, may bring prestige, not only to themselves, but to the College High School. 27

LA CAMPANILLA THE CLASS WILL We, the Senior Class of College High School, being of sound and disposing mind and memory, do hereby make, publish, and declare this to be our last will and testament, hereby revoking all former wills made by us. We hereby devise and bequeath: The Year Book to the Junior Class, with love and kisses from Louise Kellinger. . A The Stumble Down to the Juniors, with hopes that they may acquire as complete control as did the Seniors. We leave the walks of Stotz, Costello, Mandeville, and Reichenbach, to the Junior boys-may they profit by them. Our good reputation, both within school and without, we leave to those following us. Shirley leaves her piano bench, in hopes that it will bear up under future generations. Virginia gives her height to Charlie Wight. She hopes that he will soon reach the elbows of his comrades with this helpful ubequeathf' Adelaide leaves her poise and reserve to Jack A. May he soon learn what it is all about. Jack Costello leaves THE CRIER to the Junior Class, or to anyone else who will take it. , We leave S. R. Buck's unoffensive and charming manner to M. Thompson. We leave our basketball team to posterity. Adelma wants all of the pictures of Joan Bennett to go to Dan Jenkins. He will appreciate them. . The Senior Class leaves the famous Fonner come hither to every one of the Junior girls. The good dancers of the Senior Class leave their combined gift to Lovell. They hope he will be able to remain on his own feet hereafter. Gordon Koester leaves his athletic sweat-shirt to R. Pepper. We wish that we could be here to see him in it. To the Junior Class, and to the school at large, we give seven right- handed Gym shoes in the girls' locker room, two bent hairpins, one gross of undeveloped erasers, a handful of immature chalk, a broken inkwell, and our shattered illusions. 28
