SENIORS

Page 18 text:

W ,s Senior Class History Monday Morning, August 25, 1930, brought forty-two smiling boys and girls to the airport of East Lampeter lIigl1 School. Each hoped to become an aviator, and we indeed felt quite grown-up and intelligent. However. after the Sophomores initiated us, we lost that superior feeling somewhat and set to work. Our pilot, Mr. l3reidenstine, was our 'fsupporting wind. Wlith his advice we elected class officers and each selected a club. Quite a few inembers took part in the cantata entitled, Queen Esthert' which was presen- ted by the Glee Club. During the winter we became acquainted with the upper aviators and took our lessons from them and from the faculty. Unly too soon we were forced t'o land so that our engines could have a rest. After a short vacation on ground. we again turned our steps toward the East Lampeter Airport. This time we felt more experienced and so took the privilege of initiating the Freshmen Aviators. Vie were sorry to find that quite a few of our Classmate Aviators had be- come airesick, and would not return for future instruction. This year a few members played in the Orchestra, several were members of the Glee Club, some joined the Debating Team, and quite a few boys played on the baseball and basketball teams. Again our planes landed and we enjoyed a few months of fun and recrea- tion. Then came the time to return to our task of ttpilotingl' our planes once more through strong t'head-winds . This time thirty-four Aviators appeared on the scene-all willing to work together so that this year could be made a successful one. As Junior pilots we endeavored to please our advisers. and to practice the Golden Rule among our fellow-aviators. During this year we held a Hal- loween Party and gave the annual Junior-Senior Banquet in the High School Auditorium. Our f'lass was well represented in all the Clubs, and several boys played on the varsity basketball team. On May 17, we landed our airplanes once more, During the summer we held Class meetings to keep the aviators informed about each other. After too short a vacation our planes were t'nosed toward the sky. The winds were much stronger this year, and our engine troubles greater. Although various difficulties arose, twenty-nine hearty, straight-thinking aviators man- aged to keep their planes flying smoothly through the Senior year. VVith the advice of Mr. llreidenstine and the cooperation of the members of the class, we have published an El Dorado, successfully given the Senior play entitled 'tKid Colbyv, held a Doggie Roast and a Halloween Social, have taken part in the various sports, and have done our share of the work in every club. Now our flight is over. and our planes are landing for the last time on the Airport ot' dear old East Lampeter. lVe know that we must part with our Alma Mater and realize that it has prepared us to make our 'tsolot' flights in the future. In giving. wing to the last hop of our flight. we wish success to the aviators who may follow our path across lif'e's broad sky, and may they profit by any mistakes which we have made.
