4' sub T H E E C H 0 Nineteen Hundred Thirty-One CLASS HISTORY '31 WE FRESHMEN We came within the walls one day And then we seemed to have no say. Our colors shone so bright and loud, 'Cause when we came We brought a crowd. Our greatest trouble was our name Which seemed to bring to us some shame. The title given us was Green - We thought the upper Classmen mean. They like to treat all folks alike So in their eyes they look just right, Then comes along a friend, but gosh! It can't be done, for he's a Frosh. You see us everywhere you go. We may be shy, we may seem slow, We stumble here and tumble there- That's why you see us everywhere. If you should ever chance to meet A Freshman While upon the street, Be sure you don't give him a sneer For sometimes he deserves good cheer. But now you'd better give us praise Cause 'tis from us your news is raised. We all give you our best support In every way, especially sport. BY DOROTHY HELLER CAMPBELL Finally, on September 6, 1927, after the long hard years of preparatory work, we became Freshmen. At first we were very proud of the fact, but on the third day our spirits fell. The Upper Classmen decided to show their authority and entered us royally into their domicile by a severe initiation. We held our first Class-meeting in the home-room after school, and decided that the Class Colors should be Maroon and Gold and the Class Flower, a Blood-red Rose. During the year two important social functions were held: The iirst was a very jolly Halloween Party at the home of Sara Rombergerg the second, a Class-meeting at the home of Marie Seitz. One of our classmates, the present Mrs. Dorothy Campbell, gave the Class a great boost by winning the Chautauqua Medal. l26l

Nineteen Hundred Thirty-One TH E E C H O One step further up and our name was changed to Sophs. At the beginning of the Class year we selected our school pennants and emblems. A few hikes and a party completed the year. The biggest event, the party, was held at the home of a former classmate, Mrs. Mabel McNeal Barnhart. On September 2, 1929, we were at the half-way mark, and everyone decided to face future difficulties bravely. Now, classed as Upper Classmen, we discovered that our work was much more difficult as many new subjects were unfolded for us to grasp and hold. Everyone was greatly astonished when We selected our Class rings with a unanimous vote, for usually there is a great dispute on this subject. The first Class activity was a Hallowe'en Party which we held in Gardner's garage. On another night, there was a hike .to Marysville, attended by a minority of the Class. Those present climbed the end of the Overview mountain, and, after all this exertion, it was some time before they were able to settle down to seriods study again. The most talked-of event of the year was the banquet held at Jackson's for the Seniors. This brought a happy climax to the Junior year. We are not noble or stately, but finally we are Seniors. We do not seem much older or wiser truly-we are just a bunch of kids. At a meeting held after school we decided to change the design of our pennants and sent an order for individual dinks and berets. On September 16 a new idea was started in the High School, it was decided to publish a high school newspaper. We called it the Hi News. In order to increase the funds of the Library and Athletic Association, it was decided that an operetta should be given called Riding Down the Sky. It was presented on December 18 and 19 andiproved to be a successful undertaking. After the holidays, work was immediately started on the Senior Class play, The Charm School. On March 9 and 10 we presented the play, and it certainly did go over with a bang Everyone is anxiously looking forward to the banquet that the Juniors will give us next month. Years ago we all looked forward with great eagerness to the end of school-days, but as each day passes and the now dreaded time comes closer and closer, We realize that there is, perhaps, a little tragedy connected with graduation. But cheer up, Fellow Classmates, think a little further and you will understand that your life is really just beginning. We have reached the conclusion of childhood and school-days, but at the same time the commencement of real life. Let us all try to make our future life even more successful than our high school life. The Class of '31 wishes to thank Mr. Biedel for his splendid cooperation in the editing of the Annual. MARIE SEITZ 4' so 1271
