Senior v ylass ilist S isiorij PRINGTIME — June springtime, to be exact, and seniors. There were lots of seniors! Short and tall seniors, fair and dark ones, and they all tread a path across the stage to where a smiling man extended a leather covered parchment. They were graduated! The leaders of the class were Edmond Roberts, president; Pauline Shepard, vice- president; Estelle Ferguson, secretary; and Genevieve Daniels, treasurer. The first problem that confronted them was that of money, and how to earn it in order to publish the Crimson and Gold year book. A senior afternoon dance was given which was a financial success and caused much enthusiasm among the members of the graduating class. The class rings and pins were the next subject of interest to be considered. The seniors finally decided on a ring with a black ground that had a coat of arms. Colton was printed across the top in raised letters. These were ver ' different from those that had been worn by the previous classes and were very good looking. The seniors thought that a class play would be a good way to earn more money so plans were immediately started for this function. Between the two plays, The Reckoning and Station YYYY, the boys put on a very clever act. They were dressed as dainty ballet girls in fluffy dresses. Talent was shown that had never been exhibited before. This went over big and the program as a whole was pronounced a success. The seniors craved excitement and fun so they decided to have a dress- up day. Everyone was to be fined twenty-five cents for not appearing in costume and as consequence they all dressed like children or tramps, and were garbed in ridiculous costumes. In the way of amusements, games w ' ere played such as drop the handkerchief and leap frog. This incident furnished much tun for the student body, as well as the faculty. Graduation clothes was the next topic for discussion. The boys immediately decided on dark suits. The girls, after many heated arguments, decided on pastel crepe-de-ehine dresses. In the way of entertainment a senior barn dance was given. This was quite unusual as it was the first night dance that any graduating class had been allowed to have. The hall was decorated with purple and white irises, the class flower and colors. Bales of hay were around to give the barn effect. Various games were also played. Those who w ' ere invited, besides the seniors, were the faculty and the track men. The events of senior week were the following: June 7 — Junior- Senior dance, Lincoln School Auditorium. Juniors and seniors were invited. June 9 — Baccalaureate Service, High School Auditorium. Sermon by Rev. Robert I. McKee of the Methodist Church. June 11 — Class Night, High School Auditorium.

i ,;fe£j . I liG VoLjaqe ot ' 29 The ocean breezes lightly play Upon the hillowinp foam; OncomincT throu;j;h the misty spray, A ship is nearing home. A name is seen upon the prow In purple and in white; C. U. H. S. is bringing home The Senior Class tonight. For tour short years our ship has cruised Over the salty brine; But all too soon our course is done, We ' ve come to ' 29. We ' re starting on another voyage, That endless seems to be; But we shall do our best to sail And gain the victory. This voyage is on the Sea of Life, And we the sailors are; We ' ll hoist the sails and man the ropes. Until we see the star. The goal of our ambitions is This star so bright and fair; And when we view its shining rays. We ' ll know at last we ' re there. —Edith Rose, ' 29
