Senior Class History jZ? Many long years ago, on the seventh of September, nineteen hun¬ dred and twenty-eight, a group of 85 bewildered but happy “peagreens” boarded the ’32 Limited for a four year journey into the land of High School. The train proceeded slowly the first year, in order for the little folks to become acquainted with this new kind of life. On their first journey the passengers decided to make the following appointments: Engineer, Helen Burroughs; Conduc¬ tor, Jennie Egelski; Brakeman, Tom Pollen. During the course of the year as the train proceeded on its journey, a general restlessness was felt among the travelers, so it was de¬ cided to side-track and arrange for one of the annual Hallowe’en Carni¬ vals. This they did, and it turned out to be a “howling success”. As a result, the entire company was content to settle down to more ser¬ ious thoughts and proceed on the way. About the middle of the year, it was decided to again side-track and enjoy a social gathering in the form of a party. Everyone agreed this kind of life to be just the thing, but as the train neared the destination at the end of nine months the passengers were glad to hurry home to see all the folks, while the ’32 was held for repairs. When the whistle blew for the journey of 1929, grips were hurried¬ ly packed, and everyone rushed to the train. Roll was called and nine were found to be missing—Dorothy Biegel, Robert Bolt, Merriam Claus- sen, Elinor Deering, Anna Kubik, Leroy Neier, Victor Neier, Herman Fox, and Florence Helrich. They had decided they had had enough traveling, and so turned their foot¬ steps elsewhere. The “graduated peagreens” (you see they had now become intelligent) made this time for their over-se’ers, Engineer, Bill Horst; Conductor. Blanche Gault; Brakeman, Luther Ballan. It wasn’t long ‘til ' two more board¬ ed the Limited, Frances Steiner and Dorothy Swain. The more the mer¬ rier, was chorused by everyone. About the first of March in 1930, the “peagreens” and “graduated peagreens” went together for a Freshman-Sophomore dance and that was the night of nights! Near the end of the journey, Pep- inella members were pledged—fun and more fun! After another nine months of travel, everyone left for their re¬ spective homes, no worse for the wear and tear. A big time was had by all. Three months rest and time came for the next trip. No whistle was needed; they were all there with bells on. These were counted and several were found to be missing— Constantine Argus, Mae Heick, Louise Griner, Lester Blank, Bea¬ trice Henning, Florence Post, and Arthur Dance. A new bell, Russell Pratt, was added and another new belle, Margaret Arnold. A familiar
