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.
