Mid-Year Class of 1931 In February of 1927 a valiant class of students, with heads held high, and with hopes of a grand future before them, entered the ninth grade of East High School and decided it was about time they join in activities and stir up a bit of excitement. Now everybody knows what happens to mere freshmen; not being exceptional in any particular way, these ninth-graders were doomed to the usual end. After receiving the customary snubbing, they soon learned their rank, which was at the bottom rung of the four-step ladder. At first they stood around dejectedly, not knowing just what to do, but as they glanced upward and saw the exalted position the seniors occupied, they decided the climb was worth the attempt. For four years they struggled unceasingly, sometimes making headway, sometimes slipping back a bit; but never once stopping in their worthwhile endeavor. They have discovered that the reward for their patience and diligence is well worth the effort involved. On January 30, 1931, twenty-one students received the diplomas for which they had labored so industriously, and were told they had satisfactorily completed their high school course. Undoubtedly, on that occasion, Mr. Ray thought that he was at last getting rid of them; but they could not so readily sever the cords that bound them to their school, and with few exceptions they have returned as post graduates to resume their studies. However, as the close of the term draws nearer, they regret more and more that their days at East High School are nearing an end. And when, on the last day of school, the curtain falls forever on their high school career, it will be with a pang of sorrow that they write “Finis” on that period of life. —Doris Bushar. 21
