f X ,lf r ' ' l ' l l r . l i . 1. l 45 . l 1 1 . gscg SENIOR CLASS HISTORY Doubtless everyone of you have heard of stories with parallel plots. If you, however, are one of the unfortunates for fortunatesj who has not, your education along that line will be completed when you are able to say that you have finished the English 8 course. But why all this fuss about parallel plots? We have here one such story. The characters consist of the members of two classes, the 4A's and 4B's, the length of time covered, four and one half yearsg the line of action is almost exact in both in- stances and both plots end in one great event-Commencement fa queer word with which to make a finishj and Graduation. We are concerned first with the plot involving the 4A's, the first of the two groups completing the four year course. Back in January of '27 forty-seven students hurried inside Elwood High School and shut the door against the wind that threatened to put them through school in much less than four years. As the upper- classmen at the head of the stairs looked down upon the little group huddled at the door they realized that what it lacked in numbers, it certainly made up in pep and determination. True to predictions, these freshies survived a terrible first year and became sophomores, tried and true members of a large E.H.S. family. On March 13th they organized and after going into another huddle emerged with the following results: President, Mary M. Barnes, Vice-President, Madeline Goodwing Secretary, Zelma Ballard, and Treasurer, Paul Humlte, motto, Not at the Top but Climbingng class colors, purple and gold, and flower, the purple and gold pansy. juniors-and still climbing. When the September election was over Madeline Goodwin was President, Aubrey Cleveland, vice-president, Beulah Murphy, treasurer, and Loren Lindley, secretary. Mr. Forney and Miss Morgan won the laurels as sponsors. Under the guidance of these two, the class, when 4B's, put over one of the cleverest and most original receptions in E.H.S. history. The only change made in the last election was in the position of vice-president. Charles Cooper was chosen. The story was almost ended with an hilarious Senior week and a wonderful reception. Commence- ment finishes all of it. All in all, a wonderful class and a good story. The second plot concerns the 4B's, or the spring class. These students breezed into high school in September of '28 and soon made it clear that their accomplishments were as numerous and as varied as autumn colors. But to their abilities they soon added a few sly tricks they learned while innocent freshies. Then they became sophomores-believe it or not. And along with electing Howard Lamb as president, Robert Hunt, vice-president, Henrietta Douglas, secretary, Dorris Bishop, treasurer, and Mr. George Smith, sponsor, came the business of learning that each member was not quite as important as he seemed. Their colors, lavendar and green, their flower, the sweet pea, and their motto, Courage, Loyalty, and Service, they retained throughout the following years. At the next election the class chose a complete new set of officers in Dale Noble as president, Harry Wire, vice-president, Carolyn Fihe, secretary, Raymond Stokes, treasurer, and Mrs. Mary Records, sponsor. And so passed a happy junior year. When this mighty group of students became seniors they suddenly realized that there was a trying job ahead of them, none other than giving a reception. But, with Carolyn Fihe as president, Howard Lamb, vice-president, Ruby Foland, treasurer, Zelma Ballard, secretary, and Miss Leah Clymer as sponsor they certainly did the job up brown. Their Arabian Knights reception was a fitting climax for a successful four years. But even good things must end. And just as june brings the roses, May brings Commencement and the beginning of the end of the class of '31 and of a story with parallel plots. Good-bye, all. Don't forget us too soon.
