GUR SCI-IUOL Miss Bernice Mueller, the schools secretary, is our general uid-de-camp. 1-'or tht- past several ye-urs, she has llk'l'0lll0 at great friend to both the students and the facility, lt is with much admiration that we renxeniber her pleasing disposition, and we ure dt--Q-ply indebted to her t'or her niuny efforts to be ol' assistance in every possible way to everyone. li lx H l The hours we spent in school and school activities prove to be the happiest and most, important, in our lives. As we near the end of this period of securing knowledge, we just begin to realize the importance of these school affairs, and how much they have ineunt to us. The Highland High School, within whose brick walls we have spent thees happy hours has amply served its purpose during the forty years of its existence, Next yeur this building is to be replaced by a modern combined grade and high school. We are quite sure that succeeding classes will profit by and admire the excellent opportunities otfered by the new school, and we are as proud to be the last gradu- ates from this aged school building as our grandparents we1'e to be the first.

Thirty six members returned for the junior year, which was a very busy one for our class. Our officers were Harry Zeller, President, Pauline Schmidt, Vice- Presidentg and Verne Wehrle, Secretary and Treasurer. Miss Drew acted as our sponsor. Our first activity as a class was a hike to the waterworks, which was enjoyed by all. The first all-high-school activity that our class sponsored was a box social in November. This was quite a novelty, and was highly successful. We sponsored a band concert that was also a success, Our class play, Here Comes Patricia, was directed by our sponsor Miss Drew. It was presented at the Opera House on December 15, and was well attended. In February, a second party was sponsored by our class in the form of a kid party. It proved enjoyable to the entire student body. A permanent addition to our high school was made in the form of the new Lost and Found Department begun by our class. The last event, and probably the most important, was the Junior-Senior Banquet, at which we entertained tlhe class of '34. It was held at the Temple and was a very impressive affair. The theme in decorating was a Chinese atmosphere. The color scheme we followed was the senior class colors, purple and gold. Speeches were given that followed the Chinese theme, and everyone seemed to adapt themselves to the spirit which the occasion demanded, The tables were lighted with candles, and the food was served by members of the sophomore class, who were garbed for the occasion in Chinese costumes. Firty six members composed our class in the senior year. Our first activity was a get-together party, which was supposed to be a Wiener roast, but ended up in the home ec. rooms due to rain. Another successful box social was sponsored by our class in November. On January 25, senior class play, Anybody's Game was given at the Opera House. It was quite a success, and was attended by a full house. The last few months were spent in working on the Iris and getting ready for our commencement. We are looking forward to our graduation with eager, yet sorrowful hearts, for we realize that our schooldays 'neath the Red and the Black will soon come to an end. We hope that our ideals will be higher and that we will be better fitted for the lives which lie before us, so that when we take our place as citizens we will be regarded by others as a credit to Highland High School.-G, B.
