((otie (juniors' jolden cBook (9xij summer’s afternoon as I lay dreamily in my hammock, I beheld a speck of gold in the sky. Soon the dot became larger and gradually took the shape of a golden airplane, shining gloriously in the bright sunlight. It dazzled me as it swooped lower and lower and 1 was forced to close my eyes. I opened my eyes, discovered a golden book, left, apparently, by the mysterious airplane. Idly I turned the first few pages until 1 came to the picture of a football with photographs of boys’ faces grouped around it. Surely 1 ought to know them. Why, yes! there was Sawicki, captain-elect; Morris, Chantos, Elliot, Grubb, Warren, Williams and Chapman. All the junior letter men! Eagerly I turned the next page to meet more familiar faces, those of Homer Morris and Halary Sawicki, class presidents, and Ruby Ramsey, editor of the largest Purple and White that Georgetown High School has ever published. There was William Moore, who always makes the highest grades among the boys. In great excitement I turned another leaf and read the program of “Adam and Eva” directed by Miss Mack with Howard Emory, Wayne Henry, and Bernice Houghton as leading characters. With a feeling of regret 1 found that there were only a few more pages in that wonderful golden book. They were devoted to the F.L.H. Club, the Athenian Literary society. and the Science club in all of which the class of 1930 had played an active part. HOMER MORRIS BERNICE HOUGHTON, ’30. President, First Semester
