are feeling the heart-ache which must come with separation from our Alma Mater which has sheltered us so well during four happy years. The year began with a bang No one can deny that the Senior Reception was a success. The Domestic Science room was decorated with the mystic colors of Hallowe'en. It was a masquerade party. What noise greeted the ears of everyone as the banquet began. A black and orange horn was found on each plate. The loud reports were deafen- ing. The class was glad to welcome a few new members into its midst. Those newcomers have proven themselves worthy of membership in old '30 and we're glad to have them. Officers from the previous year were reelected. A play was pre- sented for the benefit of the class of '30 in the early part of the term. In the latter part of February, through the influence of Miss Kilker, our esteemed class advisor, a mock trial was presented which lasted two nights. Lawyers from neighboring towns participated. A large crowd attended each night. It was a great success. A cedar chest, made by the boys of our class in the Manual Training room, was chanced off. All these events were held in order to secure money for a trip to Wash- ington, D. C. We are all looking forward to this trip with great ex- pectation. Long since there has been talk of name-cards, invitations, diplo- mas, etc. Commencement draws nearer and nearer-something grips our hearts. We're glad of course, that four years of work and study have brought us their reward, but we dread to think of the time when the halls and rooms will no longer echo with the voices of '30, We go-hoping we may not be forgotten, and longing to believe that our coming has not been in vain. -MAUDE WELLER Get Acqunuinted The fellow you hate away down in your heart, The chap that you think you despise, Might prove in the end the best kind of a friend If you'd just open up your two eyesg You see but his shell, his heart you must find, And be introduced to his soul. Get acquainted, old chap, you may learn mayhap, That he's honest and earnest and whole. The fellow you hate for no reason on earth, May be a lot finer than you, Go out of your way and some pleasant word say, And you'll see the real man shining throughg Tho' something about him rubs you on the raw, It will pass when you take his right hand. If you try to be kind, I'll bet you will find After all. he's a regular guy.

Senior Class History 1930-What Does It Mean? To the Freshmen, Sophomores, and Juniors it means just another year of work and study. But to the Seniors, it means the fulfillment of a dream-the climax of four years of hard toil. The year 1930 will see the class which bears its numerals finish its course, receive its re- ward, and leave our dear High School, to seek fortune and, perhaps, fame in the outside World. The dream so far distant in our Freshman days is fast becoming a reality, and we Seniors now see the realization of our hopes. The class of '30 has spent four happy years in Conyngham. Al- though there were difficulties, the remembrance of the good times we have had blots out the unpleasantness, and the picture remains clear and bright. Stupid, green, unsophisticated may have been words to describe the class of '30 upon entering High School in the fall of '26, But such a description did not remain with us long. Our class soon became or- ganized. Florence Wesner was elected President, Maude Weller, Vice Presidentg Sue Vagasky became Secretary and Clyde Neiswinter, Treasurer. Wistfully we look back to the gay times in the Freshies' Room. The Ha11ovve'en party and our first experience on the stage will hold apleasant spot in each one's memory. During training for our first play, no one will ever forget our lolly-pop parties or the electric shocks. Then came the Frosh party, the last event of our Freshmen year. We were a jolly bunch-always ready for a good time. We entered our Sophomore year with a feeling of importance and strove hard to acquire the knowledge which We lacked. But that alone did not satisfy us. Our boys and girls took part in athletics. We continued with great strength and constant daily labor to increase the powerfulness of our class. ' The HalloWe'en party, given in the Gym, was the oustanding event of this year. Our dramatic ability was again displayed in a play which proved to be a huge success. The officers from the previous year served during our second sojourn. With the swift flight of time we were ushered into our Junior year. Everyone spent a pleasant evening at the Senior Reception. At our first class meeting the following officers were elected: Clyde Neiswin- ter, President, Maude Weller, Vice Presidentg Sue Vagasky, Secretary, Hannah Rupert, Treasurer. We gave a Junior reception to the Seniors in the latter part of this school year. In our Junior year we seemed to have spent more time on study than during the preceding year. And now we come to the last year in the history of this interesting class. Dignity came as a natural inheritance. Even now, the Seniors
