SENIOR CLASS HISTORY By Helen Willett In 1925, many Pilgrims started on a long journey of four years in the Comstock High School, each one taking a different path. Some of these paths were difficult to travel, while others were easy. When we smarted on this journey, some of the more experienced travelers made light of our inexperienced way of meeting our trials and tribulations. But along with this, they had a feeling of sympathy in their hearts because of the long journey before us. Even though there were many hardships to he encountered, we readied oases at different places on our journey, although we had no one to give us a hit of information. W hat ex- perience we gained was through our own endeavor. During the first year of our pilgrimage, we had many conferences. At one of these we elected oftiers to guide us on our way. Grace Cramer was elected President; Bob Mason, Vice-President; Bob Allen and Evelyn Hughes were Treasurers; and Arline Hitzfield, Secretary. Because of our knowledge gained during the first lap of our journey, we were able to make better progress than we had before. This year we had as leaders: Bob Coates, President; Helen Willett, Vice-President; Arline Hitzfield, Secretary and Margaret Beck- with. Treasurer. Owing to our previous experience in traveling, we treated those who were just starting on their journey, with greater respect than had been showed us. We did this by giving these Pilgrims a party, namely. The Freshman Reception, at which we gave them a few words of advice. This was accepted with heart-felt thanks. Then we continued our journey onward. In the distance we could see the little town of Geometry. While looking about us, we saw some of our friends faltering. Trusting in our leaders, we thought we would have nothing to fear. The streets were not paved, so here we lost some of our hand. We found this part of our journey very difficult. But those who pressed on, were fitting themselves for the hardships to come. Now we came to the city called Caesar. The streets were long, the way was hard and difficult. Here we lost many more of our friends. Behold! A new dawn! The way looked brighter and the road much smoother because of the experience we had gained. We could see looming up in the distance Fort Chemistry and Fort Physics, one of which had to lx conquered before we could proceed. We chose Margaret Beckwith as our President; Grace Cramer as our Vice-President; Carroll Abbey, Secretary; and Charles Chrisman. Treasurer. Owing to their untiring efforts, not many fell in this fight. After the siege, we celebrated the victory by giving a banquet to those whose journey was nearly at an end. namely. The Junior and Senior Banquet At last there remained but one city to conquer. Before this conquest, however it was necessary that we have a few guides to show and direct our way. So we appointed Walter Kenyon as President; Bob Coates as Vice-President; Jessie Bushouse, Secretary; and Carroll Abbey, I reasurer. Every one was eager to enter this city though we found it hard to think of leaving school. Now we. who have Come out victorious, are very grateful to those who have helped us, and we wish to extend our thanks to the School Board, our Superintendent, Principal, I eachers, and last but not least, to our parents, who have sacrificed things to give us the best. e have reached the goal that sets our feet on a higher plane to achieve greater things. May we have the courage and the ambition to achieve always. IF a 10
