I’ayt' Kleven Class Day Motto: He conquers who endures. Flower: White Rose. Colors: Blue and White. The annual class day pro-giam was presented on Tuesday, June 9. The program numbers were announced by Josephine Riehl, chairman of the class day committee. The seniors warmly greeted their audience with the salutatory address by Gertrude Broker, which was followed by the class poem written and lead by Raymond Kohn. The “tremendous trifles and the things in which the seniois had taken pride were listed by Naoma Taylor in the “History of the Class of 31.” Katherine Fox won her audience with a violin solo accompanied by Maxine Harriss. Next on the program a short humorous selection was read by Josephine Riehl. The class will was presented by Bennett Dolan, and was followed by a vocal trio “Allah’s Holiday” sung by Josephine Riehl, Katherine Fox, and Wilbert Rath, accompanied by Maxine Harriss. The class prophecy written by Josephine Riehl w?as enacted by the wiiole class in the form of a court-room scene. A Sextet of “Pretty Little Baby” was danced oy Philomena Lescher, Gertrude Broker, Josephine Riehl, Helen Rhue, Katherine Fox. and Ruth Schuppert accompanied by Maxine Harriss. This dance was a revival of the girls’ freshman days when they gave two dances for the carnival dance. Loyd Reiss played a piano solo, a medley of jazz. The presentation of the gift was performed by Margaret Scnnenberg, and then Mr. Baker handed out the scholarship awards. The class song, written by Elizabeth Riehi and sung by the departing seniors, told of their regret to leave Alma Mater, and looking forward to a bigger school life. Edmund Smith, valedictoiian, completed the program. This program was followed by the tree dedication given by Wayne Rodgers. SALUTATORY ADDR ESS It is a pleasure to Have so many of our friends with us today, and we extend to you a most cordial welcome. We wish to thank our parents and teachers for their hearty cooperation during the four happy yeais w'e have spent at Leyden. Their kindness will be one of the beautiful memories we take with us on our departure. Our school days at Leyden are over. When the bell rings next September, it w’ill no longer be the signal for our classes. It will be time for others to go to school out time for us to do something else. Our presence heie is a result of four years of faithful w'ork. The up-hill climb was hard at times, but w’e managed to overcome the obstacles. Now we have reached the top. There are still more hills to climb. The transition from high school days to life in the busy w'orld will soon be made. It may be hard. Nevertheless, we hope for the success that we have just met with at Leyden. Our stay at Leyden has been like a happy visit. The students have been our friends and the instructors oui hosts and hostesses. But like all pleasant visits, this one must come to an end. We must bid goodbye to our friends, never for a moment forgetting the many courtesies they have shown us. Your presence here today assures us of your interest and we thank you for it. The threads of our lives have interwoven with those of yours, and so we extend to you a most hearty welcome. We hoj e that our modest exercises may help to make your afternoon enjoyable and your recollections of this occasion pleasant to recall. Gertrude Broker POEM OF THE CLASS OF 1931 Four short years have passed away; The time draws near when old friends part. June 10th is graduation day, And there’ll be many an aching heart. But we can’t think of only this; Theie are many tasks to do. And when the work is taken up ’31 will surely come through. We hate to leave old Leyden High Where we have worked and played; But we’ll come back another day When our fortunes we have made. So now' we speak our final w'ord, We leave old Leyden dear; Goodbye, old school, old friends, old pals, Be always of good cheer. —Raymond Kohn, ’31
