Senior Class History On September 2, 1929, a group of students, kinda’ green but awfully confident, decided to go to the planet called High School for a certain length of time each year for four years. The end and aim was to be the city of Graduation, which could be attained only by a long and tedious journey. When everybody w as rounded up and noses were counted it was dis¬ covered that 110 students wanted to go on this trip. With some hesi¬ tation on the part of those who thought they might get homesick, the gang bade goodbye to Earth, got into the big rocket, and were off with a “whiz” and a “bang”; and. almost before they knew it, they had landed on the planet, High School. Fourteen members of this large group had come to this planet a half-year before as a sort of pre¬ liminary to the real sojourn. It was decided that if a few of those who had been on the planet before were given charge of the whole class, the class as a whole would profit by it; so Dorothy Hodges was chosen as chief advisor, George Claussen was appointed to help her when she needed it, and Evelyn Margison was given the job of look¬ ing after the financial side of that year’s visit and of recording any¬ thing that was done that would look good as history. The Freshmen, as they were call¬ ed, were getting used to living on the planet and were settling down to work with a real vim and vigor when they received word from the other sojourners that a Hallowe’en Carnival was to be given and that a Kin? and Queen of the planet were to be chosen. Their own Evelyn Margison was chosen to be Queen of High School for that evening. For the rest of that year the green Freshies, now not so green, devoted their time to study to make up for the time it took to get aca.uainted with conditions on the planet. The last of May the com¬ pany disbanded; and with many hopes and aspirations for the com¬ ing year, left for home. On September 7, 1930, the group again assembled; and it was dis¬ closed that some of the members were missing (probably they suf-

CROWN POINT INKLINGS fered from too much homesickness on the first trip). There were a few new members, though, to take the place of those who were left behind. Each student took his place in the rocket, and away they went for another year on the planet, High School. Arriving there, they decided that Martha Parry should have the job of chiei advisor; so they gave it to her. Joe Horn was appointed h er assistant. This year it was Bob Sullivan’s turn to take charge of the financial and historical end of the visit. That year at the Hallowe’en Car¬ nival, that famous football player of the Sophomore Class, Dick Mad¬ sen, was made King of High School. The Sophomores decided that they would entertain the rest of the planet, so they gave a dance, just like those given down on Earth. It was attended by a large crowd. The rest of the year passed rather uneventfully for the Sophomores although there were a few mishaps; soon their time was up for that year, and it was time to go home. On September 6, 1931, when they were again assembled, it was no¬ ticed that there were only about 80 members (these trips were proving too strenuous for some). This time, when the class landed on the planet, Joe Horn was selected as the one who was to be the advisor; and Edward Henderlong was Joe’s assist¬ ant. Because there was going to be a lot of work and history making that year, the class decided to make two jobs out of one. Winifred Farquhar was the one who was given the job of writing up the history the class was making. Bert Ellis had the job that Bob Sullivan held the year before. That year at the Hallowe’en Carnival Winifred Farquhar ruled the planet for one evening. The Junior Class made a name for itself. It gave two dances in close succession, and shortly after¬ wards a play entitled “It Never Rains”. How well that represented High School! Everything was quiet for the Juniors for a time. Nothing to do but study. And then it was time to entertain the Seniors. There¬ fore, there was a lot of preparation made by the Juniors for the event; and the Seniors were given a ban- o.uet and prom. Then, of all things to come right after a banquet, came the final exams. Of course, after that every¬ body made plans to go home for a vacation from studying. When the students returned for the last year on the planet, they had several new members, just about enough to make up for those who had not come back with them. Upon arriving at the planet, the group settled down to business like the dignified Seniors they were and chose Edward Henderlong as their advisor during their last year at school. Ethel Fitch was appointed as his assistant. Elsie Sulista had the job of recording history, and Malcolm Stonex was to pay the bills. The Seniors had been planning to put a new king on the throne of the planet, but alas! there was no throne to be had. The classes had formed a democracy. The Booster Club was formed this year and one of the memoers of the Senior Class, Winifred Farquhar was chosen President. Early in the year Florence Under¬ wood was sent back to Earth for an operation. Emery had a terri¬ ble time of it. Nobody to talk to at noons “or nothin’.” Later. Louis Miller spent a long time on Earth. He leaned over too far to look earthward and slipped. When he landed, he broke his ankle. The Student Council was reor¬ ganized this year and two members of the Senior Class are in it, Wilma Adank. of the Senior Class is the president of it, and Ed. Henderlong is vice-president. The Seniors are all looking for¬ ward to Graduation and the festiv¬ ities that go with it. And after all that they will return to Earth for a permanent reunion with friend and folk. Mr. Atkins: Your grade’s very low in fact you hardly passed. Helen Winkler: Oh! I’m so glad Mr. Atkins: Why? Helen: I do so love a tight squeeze Haniford: I don’t like this photo. My hair is fuzzy. Photographer: You should have thought of that before you had it taken. Root: My girl is horticulturally inclined. She is a peach and the apple of my eye, so we make a fine pear.

Jim Stife: I’ll tell the world. He would be 500 years old. Mrs. Seamonson: What king was prominent in the French revolu¬ tion? Clifford West: Louis the cross¬ eyed. (Louis XI). He: How come you go steady with Esther? Bert: She’s different from the other girls. He: How’s that? Bert: She’s the only girl that’ll go with me. Sally Fisher: It took eight sit¬ tings. Miss Knudson: What are you having, your portrait painted? Sally: No, learning to skate. Russel Pratt: Darling, will you marry me? Dorothy Rush ton: Have you seen mother? Russel Pratt: Yes-but I still love you. “Well, what do you think of my game?” said the enthusiastic golfer to his girl friend. “Oh it’s all right”, replied the little darling, — “but I still prefer golf.”
