.----- . A-M e -4 ff'- : l...-.,s. -TEWE AQEWMAL . Isn't that about all? asked Ken. I never supposed they did so much in High School. Yes, I replied, about all, just one more thing. The JuniorfSenior banquet was held May 14 at the Wooster Country Club. We enjoyed every minute of it, es- pecially the speeches made by our beloved teachers. The following September, we entered the study hall, and found ourselves the proud possessors of the back seats. Mr. Metz was chosen advisor again this year. The officers were: Earl, President, Glenn, Vicefpresidentg Bertha, Secretary, and Doris, Treasurer. Our delegates to basketball were the same. Our girls won the tournament. Earl won second in the County Declamation Contest with his lawyer's plea from 'Madame X.' V L'On November 21 and 22 we gave our Senior Class play, Who Wouldn't Be Crazy? Was it a success? asked another cowboy. They were all excited by this time. A success? You do not know Mr. Metz' coaching! The auditorium was full both nights. And then there was the Annual to be published. Our capable editor of the 'Monday Bluzf Glenn Amstutz, was Editorfinfchief. It is no wonder that our Annual was a success, with Mrs. Mcllvaine as advisor. Earl was chosen as our Orator, too. His oration was called The Two Roads, and was a cry for peace. He won third place in the County Contest. In January Ellsworth Kime joined our class. Glenn, Earl, Welcome, Virginia, Lucille, Luella, Hugh, and I went out 'for debate, but only Earl, George, Glenn, Lucille, Hugh, Welcome, and Virgina were chosen. Then there was the juniorfSenior Banquet, Baccalaureate, and Commencement, and it was here that my high school career came to an end. Twentyfsix members had reached the top of the ladder, proud and happy, Thanks, said Ken, Oh, ever so much. Why I feel as if I'd gone to High School too. As I glanced at the flushed, happy faces of those cowboys, tears came to my eyes. How happy I would be if I could only give them the advantages I had. Now I was realizing what a wonderful thing an education is. A week passed. Things had been going wrong at the ranch. My father was away, and the burden of taking care of the ranch fell on my shoulders. Half angry and discouraged, I rushed from the corral. I heard a step behind me. It was Ken. Discouraged? he smiled. I know the battle's' going against you, but stand and fight. He was gone. I stood stupefied. Where had I heard those words before? As I stood there, watch' ing the last rays of the setting sun play on the sand that lay around me, I vowed that I'd fight to the finish, and win. Then, out of nowhere, came the tune of a song I had not sung for ten years. lt was the Creston High School Song. Ah! now I knew where those words came from. Unconsciously, I threw myself under the tree, where a week before I had told the boys the story of my High School days. I was living again those happy days, and wishing I were there. As I lay there, across my mind flashed the words of part of the song I shall never forget: A-nd though the battle goes against you, 'You must stand and fight, So tL'l'lLlf6,CT the contest Win for Creston Highf' -DOROTHY DULIN.

None who have experienced contentment But sigh to leave you and neler return. All of our days we will bear no resentment But most of all, u'e'll miss you. The paths that we trod have a fancy for all And seern to reflect 'KXVe ue too long parted. Songs that were trolled by our comrades old Are not now as they were,--lightfhearted. Fond recollections fade with age But its nieinories will fnd and haunt us. All the years say, Mcfhough the battle goes Against us We must stand and fightfl CHoRUs Onward, upward, higher still As we dreani of days gone by, Can you see us, see us in the future Where our fancies rove? Onward, upward, higher still Seniors of C. H. S. Can you see what the future brings us 'True success for all. fPage 'Twenty-eightj
