By FAE LINDLOFF Long, long ago in the year 1931 A.D., a small rivulet, the present junior class, joined the broad stream that is the Delavan Public School. This little rivulet has been gaining strength and will soon be able to branch out in a stream of its own. Throughout the years the stream has decreased from evaporation' and other elements have caused its growth. Heading this stream are: Clarence Daly, who is president; Jack Evans, vice-president; Ruth Mary Rice, secretary and treasurer; and Keith Merrifield, who, as delegate-at-large must see that we get an equal chance and opportunity when there is an activities meeting and the different courses are plotted Right now this little rivulet is flowing along very smoothly. Now and then two little ripples meet and cause a splash (You know, boy meets girl.) No, we are no different than any other stream. We have our steep spots and slow sluggish days, and our laughing, bubbling days. Yes, and we have muskies and minnows, too (17)

SENIOR CLASS By JOAN JOHNSON Behind them lay their carefree days, Behind their childhood days so dear. Before them were uncharted ways. Before them only times of fear. The teachers said, “Now must you heed. No longer guided will you be, Good counsellor, speak, what can we say7 “Why say, ’Work on! work on! and on! These youth grow hesitant day by day; They know they're on the brink. Some are fearful of the morrow, Of the past they grieve to think. “What can we do, good counsellor, say, If we sight naught but seas at dawn? “Why, this you'll do at break of day: ‘Work on! work on! work on! and on!' Their thoughts do backward turn and they Recall to mind their first school days. Enthusiastic, carefree, gay. Each child to find his destined way. Now courage and spirit have flown away, And wonder and gayety both have gone. “Now speak, good counsellor, speak and say—“ The answer comes: Work on! and on! Thru days of stress and days of calm, The everchanging crew has sailed. Advice of teachers to some has been balm, But often their judgment the youth have assailed. Now they pray for hopeful words, Seeing the future about to dawn. Words from their counsellor leapt like a sword: “Work on! work on! work on! and on! The future looms black in the night, A vision of toil and storm and strife. Unhappy world where might rules right, Where greed and fear and hate are rife. Unhappy world with peace now gone. Yet thru the darkness comes a light. “Victory to those who this lesson have learned; Work on! work on! work on! and on! (16)

They were christened the Sophomores and set forth into the new mysterious unknown (commonly known as the senior high) For the first few weeks we were a bit shaky, but it didn't take us long to establish ourselves, and we found we really liked it. There are several things we have accomplished so far this year. Some of our boys got on the football team, and deserve a lot of credit for their fine showing. Our fine second team in basketball is made up almost entirely of Sophomores. We have representatives in nearly everything else, too; even intramurals, when the boys manage to whip up an eligible team. New additions to our class this year are strictly from the masculine side of the fence. Dave Franklin from Philadelphia, Dick Schmidt from Cleveland,- and Jim Clay-pool from Canada, add new faces and graces to our group. Our class officers are as follows: Jack Starm, president,- yours truly, vice-president; Joann Schultz, secretary-treasurer; and Pat Gundry, delegate-at-large. We like the senior high and hope that it likes us, 'cause we’ve got two more years to spend here and if those two years are as nice as this one has been, we'll surely be a sorrowful class of '44. (18)
