THE LAUREOLA 29 SENIOR CLASS HISTORY By Elizabeth Huhn “Time rolls his ceaseless course,” and on his great Dial-plate his hands are now pointing to a space which reads, “SENIORS, MCMXXVI; TIMES UP.” Since Father Time has indicated his summons to us, it is my intention to record, in a general way, an account of the historical events, relative to our class, which may be found engraved thereupon tnat portion of Father Time’s Dial-plate, known as the Past. Our Freshman Ship was launched September 6, 1922. Aboard there were 112 passengers with high aspirations to sail the Untried Main. For our colors we floated Black and Old Rose; for our motto we sang, “Finus opus coronet” (May the end crown our work.) Just ahead of us sailed the Ship Sophomore. On the way she extended the hand of good fellowship, and entertained us royally with a splendid reception. Although some fell overboard, or were attracted away by the song of the Sirens, our Freshman voyage was successful. After a brief interval for rest, and an exchange of ships, we boarded the Sophomore, hoisted our colors, and set sail again Our number on this voyage was less, and the waters more rough, but yet we sailed safely through the midst, the hail, and the snow. Another stop, a short pause, a changing again of ships, and our vessel, the Junior, spread he sails to the blast, September 1, 1924. On board this ship there were 78. Many business activities confronted us on this voyage. The most important one was the publication of our “logbook,” or the Laureola. A staff was elected to compile and manage this publication. To defray the expenses of our annual, a play entitled Turn To The Right was given May 25-26. 1925, under the direction of Mr. Newcomer. This event, however, marked the close of the voyage on our ship Junior. Again disembarkation, a brief stopover, and we put to sea, August 31, 1925, the craft Senior to do the homeward stretch. A splendid expedition indeed! Results of the former sailings, added to those of the present, show that many already possess characteristics of eminence as athletes, orators, teachers, and musicians. To catalogue all traits of distinction embodied in our ciass would require too much space and be too tiresome to read. But, a few however are important and interesting. On the gridiron seven members of our class were instrumental in winning the championship in the county football contest. On March 21, 1926, Raymond Moser, our class president, brought honor to his Alma Mater by his winning the cuo in the Oratorical Contest. Other members of our class, who are to be highly commended by the wav they represented our school in literary activities are: Orville Beal, Margaret Giimor, and Elizabeth Lilley in debate; Frances De Priest in reading; Fred Bryan in select oration; and Leona Christopher in vocal solo. The Ship Senior cast anchor in the evening of May 20, 1926 ” All the people, our friends, on shore, were exalting and shouting.” Our trustworthy captain, Professor Sheetz, gave us our passports signed by all the noble crew that directed our course through sunshine and shadow. Our voyage was now ended. Stepping from off that Ship of Splendor, we departed. filled with lofty aspirations to attempt other untried seas.
