It is our purpose to provide a memento of our school days for all students, alumni and others inter¬ ested in our school affairs. In order to express our appreciation for the service he has rendered and the deep interest he has taken in our school’s welfare, we, the Class of ’31, dedicate this, the Third Edition of the G. H. S. Souvenir, to Dr. L. V. Rogers. GALESBURG HIGH SCHOOL Our two-year accredited school is one of the largest Class D schools in Kalamazoo County. It has one of the best athletic fields in the County, consisting of about five acres, which includes a football field, baseball diamond, cinder track and several tennis courts. We also have a fine teaching staff, with nearly all acedemic subjects tanght by teachers with degrees. Our commercial department offers work in shorthand, typewriting and bookkeeping, and our library is well supplied with reference and fiction books. We offer chemistry, physics and biology every year, which is a great aid to those who are preparing for engineering and medicine. Last, but not least, we have a fine building, which is modernly equipped and taken care of in the most sanitary manner, and is an en¬ joyable place to go to school. ANNUAL STAFF MR.

THE SENIORS OF NINETEEN THIRTY-ONE We d like to help you fix in mind The group of seniors here; In our class of nineteen thirty-one We have twenty-six this year. First, we’ll take our class president. Les Kinney, nicknamed “Pat;” At basketball he s sure a star. And he’s not so slow with ball and ba . Another athletic star is Wilson. Whom we know as “Chuck Robert Bolton and Johnie Warren In basketball sure get the luck. Some say Claude Gifford s bashful. But not Bob Van Sickler and Dick Blake For they always keep something doing And are noted for the noise they make When it comes to the ninth hour, Irwin Jones is a popular guest; , Loren Senf is never invited As he’d rather leave with the rest. Now meet our class shiek. Mr. Bresson And Hubert Roelof tall and slim— If it wasn’t for Edward Wheeler The girls would all fall for him. Now comes Ilah. Maxine and Dorothy The three with the curly hair. Who will enroll at a hospital And train tc become nurses fair. When we choose our honor students. Betty, Elizabeth and Grace you’ll find, To Ruth Rice we give special mention— She left her original class behind. If it’s music you would ask. Josephine and Bethel are a pair; With Bethel at the piano Josephine’s voice fills the air. Mable Kirklin and Helen Simon Long have they debated; Many honors they’ve won for us. For which we are elated. Miiiam Krieger is quiet and shy. F.om Augusta comes all her joys; A right good time has Mary Wood- Happiest where there is a noise. Cupid darted in and took his toll When Florence Austin becameMrs Buck We’ve now presented them each to you. Farewell to all—lets hope for luck. —Olive McGowan CLASS OF ’31 The senior class of thirty-one Is a class of great renown; There are more pupils in it Than any class around. When they started out as freshies Their number was thirty-two; And now this year as seniors It’s reduced by three times two. Their president. “Pat’’ Kinney. Has fame in all his sports. With only one exception. Tis on the tennis court . The football players therein Numbered up to nine; They made three-fourths the back field And most all the line. They are the first in Galesburg A debate team to have; And while they are on it A good team we ll have. One thing I thought peculiar About this famous class— The good old game of basketball Is not played by any lass. And in this class of classes There are five more boys. They played the game of basket bv ' .l As w’ell as with small toys. If you should like to find the names Of any in this group. Just look through your annual And give them all a whoop! —Milton Stager GIRL SCOUT NOTES The Girl Scouts of this school are sponsored by the Parent-Teacher Association with Mrs. Evelyn Little, who received her training for leadership under Miss MacDowell of Y.
