THE BUZZER 1927 Memories Virgil Camm '27 I September. The frequent odor of cedar of freshly sharpened pencils. The crackling of new books. Clack, clack, clack of cleats on stone steps. Leaves- brown leaves, red, yellow leaves. School colors. Yellow slickers. Young laugh- ing girls. II Gay colors. Cheer leaders. I-Iere they come. A long line of boys running onto the Held. Head gears. The long white lines ten yards apart. III A party in the Gym. Guests arriving. The ascending whine of a heavy door- a pause-then a rattling bang as it closes. Pale green and pink dashes of color glide silently across the floor. Silver slippers. A moaning saxophone. Groups in the hallway, chatting, laughing. ' IV Lights in shop windows in the village. Red and green everywhere. Beautiful colors-orange, yellow, green, red-shine from the stained glass windows of the church on the freshly fallen snow. V Night. White moon. Livid white moon. Cold moon. Clank, clank, clank of chains against the fender of a passing car. Clank, clank, clank-fainter, piercing the night air. Gone. Cold silence. I VI Icy walks. Students hurrying to classes. Red cheeks. The flap, flap of galoshes. Noon. Boys hatless,coatless. VII All the fellows at Bob's. Panting, out of breath. The thumping of chairs. The odor of hot chili! Groups at tables, coins on a glass show case. Sliding, jingling dishes on tables. VIII Slush, rains-no one minds the rains. A parade of slickers, fur coats, double- breasted overcoats down Chardon Road. A crowd at the corner. The low drone of a bus horn. IX A twilight evening in May. The twang of tennis racquets. Sweet fragrance of apple blossoms. Soft feminine voices from beneath the apple trees. A pale yellow moon. Shadows gone. Night. X Soft melodies. Beautiful girls with bouquets of roses. Diplomas, tears. The air filled with rich perfumes. Soft, warm, southern breezes. Memories. Memories. l9l

THE BUZZER 1927 Senior Class History The feeling of greenness that is experienced by every Freshman when entering high school was not missed by those of the Senior class of Nineteen Hundred and Twenty-seven just beginning the best four years of their life September 8, 1923. ln fact, as Freshies, they were quite innocent to the ways of their more dignified upperclassmen. They were initiated without much ado, which, although causing much embarrassment, was secretly enjoyed by both the boys and girls. Then next on the program if they wished to be of much importance, they must choose a banner comprised of the colors they so desired, and their flower. The colors chosen were Yale blue and white and the flowers were white roses and blue forget-me-nots. The motto, which they have tried to uphold and have not entirely failed in doing is, Labor Omnia Vincit . These Freshies also with much pride passed into the Sophomore year, highly elated to think they had given the best party of the year. The Sophomore year was not unlike that of the previous classes. During this year silliness prevailed and many girls were noted for their ability to giggle easily. Several new members joined the ranks of this Sophomore class only to drop by the wayside at the end of the year. The party this time was a Kid Party and was enjoyed by all-everyone lapsing into naturalness while it lasted. The boys ap- peared in athletics during this year and stayed in throughout the rest of their high school career. The junior year was quite exciting, for in this year you are looked upon as quite high up in the world and these would-be Seniors made the most of this year by giving a comic Christmas play The Christmas Hat , the junior party, the annual play, Seventeen , and a most successful junior Prom. Two more members dropped out of the class, making the total roll eighteen. This last year has gone all too fast, being crammed to the brim with events coming one after the other. As Seniors the class has been prominent by furnishing both basketball captains, the football captain and the leaders in the Operetta The Spring Maid . The year was made exciting by the choosing of class rings after much argumentg and the choosing of invitations and cards for commencement made the boys and girls realize that their high school life was fast slipping away. The play Mother Carey's Chickens and the dance given by the combined Senior and junior classes have brought this year to a close and the Seniors depart knowing that they leave behind them friends and teachers they will sincerely miss, and hoping they, too, will be missed.
