Last Will and Testament em We, in our sane minds at the time of this departure into a new life, do equally divide our possessions among you: To the Class of '30- Our Seniors dignity, where'er it be. Our beloved Keramos. Bear the burning 'torch aloft. Our Office Force and Senior Teachers. May you ever be as studious as We. To the Class of '31- Our athletic glory. May the flame be brighter, if possible. To the Class of '32- Our remarkable High School record Cin conduct and studyj. May it never be impaired. To the Class of '33- Our sympathy. But bear it and you shall conquer. We, the Class of 1929, do attest to this, and fix our sig- natures on this twenty-ninth day of May in the year of our Lord, nineteen hundred and twenty-nine. -Class of 1929. -+'Pi3110'c

'-,1 W. x 1 ' I X K 1 CLASS PUEM eww It was four years last September, High School portals opened wide, And with grim determination, We, as Freshmen, stepped inside. Once inside these gates of Knowledge, With its open Book of Life, We began the undertakings, Intermingled joys and strife. And we found for encouragement, Patient teachers, loving friends, All these to add enjoyment, To be with us to the end. And those dear ones that departed, We were sorry to see go, Some left because they chose to, Others-Death did claim, you know This prayer that we are breathing, Which will never lose its lust, May we show appreciation, By making them proud of us l Days do fly, 'tis time to go, We hear Old Father Time's Bell, To halls, nooks, classmates, and books, May We issue this final-Farewell. -Mary Lowers. -M130 14+-

History of the Class of 6299 just donning a new and beautiful coat of green! Some few of us seemed quite in harmony with Nature. But who are we? Why, the Class of 29 making their debut to High School life. Green, our inherited color, and red, an unwel- come addition from the Sophies. However, vigorous appliances of soap removed the red and the vivid green began to fade as we became firmly established in our new home. ALL! The oaks and maples decked in gorgeous crimson and gold! The pines Then, Goodby, Broadway Entrance. We made a step higher and became Sophies. But what sights were our's! These policemen! Those lucky Freshmen! No revenge for us. So, the Class receiving our discarded coat of green lacked the red. Now, the Class of 29, appeared on the map. And what an appearance, too! In fact, this map was the basketball floor. Off the floor they walked with both the class championships. Another stride toward fame and the name, Junior, falls to our heritage. During the whole year, one gleam of light was guiding us on our way. Again, we deigned to don red and green, and this time added blue. However, it was for a contest to make that light brighter and clearer. Then too, the Seniors needed help to make their play, The Poor Nut, a success. And, naturally, they turned to the Juniors to provide the required aid. A portion of the proceeds was our's. By this time, that distant light had neared and shone on us in the form of shaded lanterns and lamps in the gym. It was the Junior-Senior. What a splendid climax for a perfect year! Another step to cross the line Another step to leave behind Our beloved school and teachers, dear, But take the step, if with a tear! The longed-for goal at last! DigniHed Seniors! But oh! so hopelessly lacking the dignified! What joys crowded that short year! With what pride, we gave to East Liverpool, our Keramos! We had a' basketball team that could only lose to the best because they were nearest the best that was possible. Now, four fieet years have joined the never-ending parade of passing Time. Now we stand on the brink of a chasm, unknown and unexplored-the verge of active life. May these future years, as they pass, be just as triumphant and glorious, and even, more so. .f ,W x1' A YN gwgirgqo xw,vf7' -0i3214+
