THE IGHLANDER. SENIOR CLASS HISTORY As graduation time draws nigh, the seniors cannot help reminiscing just a little. Twelve years have passed, and while there were many trying moments, all in all, those have heen twelve happy years. There are ten in the graduating class that have attend- ed Grandview from the first grade, seven girls, three hoys. The grade school days flew rapidly, hut there are a few things that will always stick in our memory. Those thrilling games of Black Man at recess time with Kliss Layland in ex officio position of referee. The picnics in the Grandview woods were always hig events and that great rock Qmy, hasn't that rock grown smaller though?J. After a hrief two year stay in the old red schoolhouse we were promoted to the high school huilding. Oh what days those were, running from class to class, nearly killed in the rush, and then, those awful combination locksl But fate was kind and soon it all seemed very commonplace. Then to high school. No noble senior ever felt more important than that group of Freshmen that filed into the school on the first day. The teachers soon showed us that our importance was greatly over estimated and we settled down x-ing and amo, amas-ing. Like all freshmen we gave a dance. YVe borrowed the old victrola fwhich really should he in the Smithsonian lnstitutej, a lot of records and started out for a gay time. Those were the days! As Sophomores we were going to set the world afire, hut, somehow our matches wouldn't do the work so we were contented with having a few hoys on the foothall and haskethall squads and two on the track team. The high spot of the year for the girls was the Junior-Senior when they were permitted to wait tahle. Then we were juniors. The first great event of the year was the choosing of rings when we very emphatically voted down the design used hy the previous class. flt was ever thusj. Then the Junior play, when the hoys of the cast were harely ahle to endure the hardship of wearing garters for a few nights. Of course it was a great success, hut immediately we discovered that with the money we took in we must give the Seniors a party. COh, death, where is thy sting?J The junior-Senior managed to use up most of our money, but it was a great affair and everyone was happy. And now we are Seniors! And like all senior classes, we feel far superior to anything the world ever has produced, and certain that nothing hetter ever will he produced. Class meetings turned into free-for-all fights, with great orations as to the superiority of these colors over those, of this photographer's work over that and of this commencement invitation over some other one. After the meeting was over, every one forgot their anger and hroadcast to the world what fine colors. photographs and invitations the class of 1931 had. Oh! how we enjoyed that Junior-Senior banquet. Knowing the envious eyes with which the Juniors watched us devouring the play profits, we all gorged and as a result, had indigestion. Although the senior play is yet to be, we know that it will he a success and we are sure we'll enjoy working when we know the fruits of our lahors won't go to support a hread line. Then the last few days, with speeches on how we must go out into the cold world and attempt to warm it up, only to find that it can't he done. Thus endeth the history of the Class of 1931. And, like all classes, assured that we are the hest that has ever graduated, and murmuring, Ohmy, ohmy, what will hecome of G. ll. S. when we graduate? And we hear the Juniors answer, YVell, there they go at last, that's the hest thing they ever did for the school. 1 9 5 1 Pngr' Tfuwlfy-Six
