1930 THE TJIONEER 1930 fiaaiivffcsuizbbizaaf-Qauizlziqbzi-caan 2.19 Class History The day of September 9, 1926, marked the commencement of a four-year epoch at Fort Lee High School, on which day a horde of barbarians known as the Class of 1930 swooped down upon it. Coming from schools throughout the borough, this group was destined to augment greatly the number of gray hairs on the heads of the faculty. The outstanding char- acteristics of the class were hilarity and dislike for any social activities. After a trying year of adjustment and of becoming acquainted with ourselves and our teachers, we began to co-operate and to keep our hilarity within bounds. VVe have tried to observe this practice to the end, often with disastrous results on the sanity and good nature of our teachers. n The freshman year was marked by little of the extraordinary, as was the sopho- more year. Q With our junior year and the new building there came a slight change in us. The only parts of the old building that we missed were the Well-initialed desks and chairs of our predecessors. Nevertheless, we did not leave behind us our many friends we had made, nor did we forget our associations with the old building. Finally we emerged upon our senior semester, a small fragment of the group that had started as freshmen. Our neglect of our class activities while we were but young- sters now made us rush madly about trying to do three years' work in one. Constant demands of the members of the Pioneer staff to Hurry up with class material and the burning of much midnight oil have featured this period. Here we have four golden pages of our lives melted down into one. LAURA HENVITT '30. Class Will A We, the Seniors of Fort Lee High School, County of Bergen and State of New Jersey, being of sound mind, memory and understanding, do make, publish, and declare the following as our last will and testament, that is to say: First: To our obscure, reticent successors we leave our deepest sympathy and consolation, which we know they will need due to their very inferior intelligence and utter lack of brilliance and originality which the Seniors so conveniently possess. We also bequeath to the said successors the deed to and the rightful possession of Room 213. 24-
