THE RETROSPECT History of the Senior Class LEVERS 1. effort and weight at endsg support or Iulcruni in center 2. eiTort and fulcrum at ends: weight in center 3. fulcrum and weight at endsg effort in center As physics is an unusually diflicult subject and according to faculty members the senior class is a particularly difficult class, their history is to be disclosed according to its relation to perhaps the best known principle of physics-the three types of levers. Long, long ago, back in 1920, an unknown number of little boys and girls started their school in Colorado and Central Buildings and in the various rural schools over the county. Being very logical little cherubs, they began by demonstrating the first type of lever. The students depended almost wholly on the support of their instructor as the central pivot to help expend their effort to learn more and decrease the weight of the work waiting to be done. When they entered junior high, their importance in their own eyes increased and they shared equally with their instructors support the weight of responsibility. During this year several students won recognition in scholarship contests. As freshmen their president was Robert Latta while Elizabeth Reed and Muriel Fowler were valedictorian and salutatorian respectively. Junior high was then left far behind. and they humbly entered the holy precincts of senior high under the guidance of John Wallace. Activity groups, lordly seniors, and geometry burst upon them in one vast explosion. Gradually their fears were dispersed, and the next year they boldly entered school and .snubbed the sophomores as grandly as they themselves had been snubbed the year before John Stous guided their third year of high school with the aid of Helen Fortune, John Flynn, and Sterling Porter. Three members of the class-Edith Fletcher, Robert Latta, and John Stous-became members of the National Honor Society this year. '1 Then, finally, they wereljeniors and had gained that mark of distinction in their years as underclassmen. Kenneth Fairbanks, Elizabeth Reed, and Muriel Fowler were made members of the Honor Society during their senior year. Elizabeth Reed was valedictorian and John Wallace salutatorian. As they go out into the world they have at last learned the great lesson from the third class levers-that the effort is of the most importance and that the support and weight are merely incidental matters. iiixmminnnmiiimiiiiiiiixuiuniinuiuIi1iiii:QiinEQiu5iiiQuiniixmrng 1 9 3 2 PAGE 5
