SENIOR CLASS HISTCRY Motto: We finish to begin. Class Flower: Rose With a final hauling up of rope and ladder, the Pirate crew of '27 set sail upon a four year voyage into the lakes of Study and the realms of Knowledge. Immediately the new mates chose 25 representatives of this group to join Ye council of Pirates. Mates Robert Wagner and Celia McGill. At the time of the reunion and homecoming of Pirates, the group of Freshmen ffor such was their beginning titleJ more than outdid itself in the decoration of their skiff fautomobilej. In the second year when the port of geometry was reached, Robert Wagner and Vernon Kretschmer were representatives of this group. Many Sophomores fthe sec- ond titlej took part in Athletics. Then, out of the troubles and horror of two long years of work and hardships, Captain Hook, alias Goble, bestowed upon this most worthy group the title of Jun- iors. Robert Wagner, who had shown great ability and prowess in former days of deck-scrubbing, was given the honor of becoming head pirate and was called Captain Bob of the most noble crew of dastardly pirates. Assistant Captainship was given to Doc Schlager, and upon Lucille Cotton was bestowed the honor of becoming most worthy scribe. With such a beginning and such success in the past, and especially in the Junior or third step in the voyage, how could the last and most important step be anything but a success? When the time arrived for a new choice of leaders, there was but one pirate ter- rible enough, villainous enough, to take this role. Even tho' minus the customary hook hand, this pirate could pound a gavel harder than anyone else and so was chosen to rule with an iron hand. Captain Spurrier was enough to strike fear into the bravest of hearts and added to the hoard of jewels and silver more than any other, for he knew the way and the how of all money-making schemes. Willard Turner was chosen as assistant to calm the too anxious Captain. The title of Hmost worthy scribe was bestowed upon Margaret Martin and the voyage ended in the good ship Elgin High, the mates walked solemnly down the gangplank loaded with bags of experience and knowledge to take their places again in the world of busy people. 18
