AN APPRECIATION We, the editors on the Courier staff, wish to express our thanks to the many, many people who have so willingly aided us in the many proj- ects connected with the publication of our book. It is to these kind friends that we owe thanks. With that same humorous twitch on his lips, the wink of an eye, and a clever greeting with which he meets his friends, Mr. Frederick Schacht took time from his daily duties to advise us and to give us his opinions on whatever happened to be the matter of difficulty at the time. We want to express our love and thanks to him. Besides the countless other ways in which he had helped us, Mr. George Dasher always took the pages and pages of proof that we handed him with a rather speculative look, a crooked smile, which we enjoy, and a clever remark, but we know this takes time, and we are indeed grateful to him for his willing- ness to do whatever we asked of him. Miss Eliza- beth Campbell, because of her kindly interest and splendid cooperation, has made us want to thank her, too. Because her charming and gracious manner has so endeared Miss Marie McCutcheon to us, we hope we haven't imposed by asking her to do for us countless things. To Miss Helen Vizard We owe and extend innumerable thanks for her super- vision of the art work which is seen in the book. Without her search for the best talent in the art students, her- advice, and encouragement, we would not have the pictures to beautify our Courier. During the four days of group picture taking, we found Mr. Claude Smitter could usu- ally manage things either with a smile or a com- mand at just the right' time. Miss Charlotte Smitl1's genial 'personality often added to the joys of picture taking. To those in charge of the branches, Miss Julia Mclnerney, Miss Cleopatra Wilson, and Mr. Phillip J. Carlin and their re- spective corps of teachers, we cannot adequately express our gratitude for their giving us all, -and even more than we asked of them in encouraging picture taking, sales, and branch material. In the oflice, Miss Sarah Schmid, Mrs. Dorothy Larson, and Miss Rosella McKenna were most agreeable about necessary checking that we had to do in order to have correct statistics in the Courier. To Mrs. Anderson, for her snapshots for the G.A.A. page, to Miss Mildred Taylor, and the News staff for their helpful publicity each week, and to Mr. Neil Trimble who gladly assisted by rendering music for our Courier assembly, we extend our Twcl uc' appreciation. We also thank Miss Mary Lusson for her willing assistance to us whenever called upon, and her promptness in giving us material for the opera. We want to express our gratitude to Mr. John J. Kehoe, who was cheerfully ready to aid us whenever we needed advice in printing matters. We wish to thank, for their many kind- nesses, Miss Elsie Parsons and Mr. Lewis Cook, who were always ready to assist us, Mr. Uda Koer- ner for his supervision of the cartoons, and Mrs. Cassel and Mrs. Kelly to whom we owe the success of our faculty tea. At this time we would like to tell the entire faculty how much we appreciate their graciously permitting us to speak before their division rooms on pictures and sales. To the E-nglish teachers for asking their classes to contribute to our literary pages, and to the Quill and Scroll for the rights to use the manuscripts entered in the contest, we extend our gratitude. Students, too, have done their part. Edgar Firant, aside from drawing cartoons, desig-ned the cover, but refused to sign his name on it for fear of spoiling the design. We feel that he deserves recognition for his work. Ralph Gault, Jeanette Swanson, and Lorraine Marianelli, who, although they are not on the Courier staff, have done so well in their art classes that we are using their designs in our pages. To Miss Robinson's English class for feature stories on branches and to all those who have contributed their poems or essays, we express our thanks. Three cheers to the Courier representatives! They did beautifully in sales and picture taking, and for their cooperation we extend to them our sin- cerest appreciation. It was our wish to include everyone in this acknowledgment, but if anyone was omitted who .has faithfully served us, it is because his name has not been brought to our attention. Few people know what Miss Ruth Winslow Robinson, our adviser, has done for us. Hours and hours of her time were spent in an effort to make our Courier a success. It is she who encour- aged us when we were low in spirit, she who advised us and helped us to complete our work. Therefore, we give her our most sincere gratitude for her efforts, and hope that we have made our- selves worthy of them. BERNICE KUZIEL CHESTER SLINGERLAND Ezlifors-in-chief

CLASS HISTORY Our four years of higah school life are over. Wliatever has happened during this span of time is now written on the pages of history. All we have left are our friendships and memories! Happy ones, sad ones, yet I don't believe there is one we would relinquish if we had the opportun- ity to turn back time and live those four years over. No doubt there are some events we might alter somewhat, but since tihat is impossible, 1et's just review our closely written pages entitled, High School. First we'll turn to our freshman year. We were strange then-but after we became adjusted, oh, -didn't we make things hum? First came the Freshie parties, where we began to know who's who in our class. Weren't the boys bashful, and now haven't uhey changed? Most of the girls joined the G.A.A. and participated in all the hikes. What did we care if we earned a blister or two on our heels? The fun was worth it. And then came the G.A.A. Minstrel. All the girls turned black-face, and the excitement-! To those who had never before lived through a high school entertainment, life was just one dream of bandannas, black wigs, and black paint. It was a gala night, over all too soon. But when that was finished, there was always something else to look foreward to. The school's dramatic talent was displayed in the presentation of Daddies and Martha. The more studious pupils nightly carried home many books in an attempt to make the Phorex. The Courier and Fenger News were new words to us, but it didn't take us long to become acquainted. However, before we knew it we had to desert our freshman realm and enter into a new field. Our sophisticated sophomore year opened in a blaze of excitement. Fenger Frolics was on everyone's tongue. Do you remember the Ballet- Hoo' in which some of our famous football heroes turned premieur-danseuse? And that was only a part, the less serious part, of our sophomore year. It seemed as though we were getting a little more homework, but we didn't mind because of our interest in the honor societies. During this year our class was increased by the addition of the Curtis Junior High graduates. And they cer- tainly were a splendid annexation, for some of the world's future leaders are among them. Our class had become active in the athletic associa- tions, others turned to drama and music to express their feelings. Goodness, here it is summer again, and next September we will be Juniors-. just think! Fourlcen And then came our junior year. We were really a part of the school now. Our girls all joined the Junior Girls Club, and they will never forget the good fellowship enjoyed at these meetings. Our boys were helping Fenger's teams win victories in all fields of sports, and we are sure it was due to them that we broke the Parker and Pullman Tech Jinx. The Drama Club successfully presented Green Stockings and the cast was chosen mainly from our class. The high light of the year was the evening's entertainment of the Glee Clubs. Our girls displayed the latest fashions to the tune of sweet music in The Nifty Shoppe. Next we took a flying trip to Georgia with the Boys' Min- strel Show which brought the evening to a suc- cessful climax. And then we prepared ourselves for the last lap of the race. Now we are happy and ambitious seniors. How different September '33 was from the long-ago September '30, when we timidly stood on the doorsteps waiting permission to enter the magic portals. It seems almost impossible that, at last, we 'have reached our goal. Since that far-a-way day we have grown in stature of mind and in the ability to accomplish things. Wc're sure all of us were a little bit sad as we realized this was to be our last year. Eeveryone seemed more interested in school activities. Our class was orgnnizedg we elected our officers who immediately set to work to make our class a prominent one. Our senior year was filled with all sorts of events. Some of our class became student librarians. One of the dra- matic events of the year was the presentation of the student librarians' plays in order to keep the library functioning in its accustomed manner. At the P.T.A. Minstrel our class was widely repre- sented. But 21 real all Fenger production was Little VVo11zen presented by the Drama Class. And then at the end of our 4B semester ohere was the Prom-a glorious end to a glorious semester. We are now come to the end of our high school career. The Courier Staff was announced and hearty congratulations came from every- where. Then too, many of us have been members of the Phorex and the National Honor Society. We had many good times together at the fre- quent socials. But our school days are drawing to an endg there'll be no more classes, no more heavy books, and no more socials. Our high school life was a great adventure. Though we as friends may part, our memories will not die. The once new pages are fully written. The book is closed, and we aspire to higher things.
