Have you heard of that wonderful class, I say, That began in such a discouraging way. Worked hard for four long years to a day, And then was ready to—ah, but stay. I’ll tell you my story without delay; The story of how it began its career In the shadow of the “depression year,” Have you ever heard of that, I say? Nineteen hundred and thirty-one, That was when the class was begun, Its members unknown, and its vict’ries unwon. That was the year when the first class play With Transeau as Cinderella, so gay, Managed to carry the honors away. The class will always be proud of that day. Bunty Bain occupied the president’s chair, A better leader you’ll find nowhere. Now in speaking of classes, I’ll tell you what. There is usually somewhere, a weakest spot. During one of the four of its high-school years, A class stands back or disappears. But banish now all your foolish fears For with Craig at its head in that year of years, This class came forth with a Sophomore Hop And I’m here to state—it was far from a “flop.” The “wonderful class” was nearing the top. But time rolled on as time will do And the class both wiser and stronger grew. Oh, this was a class to beat the town And the county and all the country round, For it was so formed that it couldn’t fall down. Dwyer was chosen the new class head And the treasury, from thirty dollars in the red, Leaped up to one hundred dollars ahead. And Jones, as the “emperor,” was a man! Sported his clothes and his new sun-tan. Good, I tell you, I rather guess, This class was a wonder, and nothing less. Its play, Submerged,” surpassed the rest. With Goad and Studness at their best. In every way they passed the test. Then to finish the year in a manner gay, It presented a prom which many say. Surpassed all others of the day. So came the end of the Junior year, And the goal of the class was drawing near. ’34, it came and found The wonderful class still strong and sound. It found Landeck as president of the class, And Albin, our cheer leader, swaying the mass, It found Olgy, as captain of the team, A center who really was supreme. And Sasak and Malayter, mighty mites Of the gridiron, and so many sights That ’34 just had to agree That the “wonderful class” was a sight to see. The interclub council had quite a spat Over who would take this date and who would take that But the question was settled, and the dances began Dances of every type and plan. The first “homecoming the school had seen Was given this year, and described as “keen.” Alumni came from far and near To be present at this event of the year. And the band blared forth its message to all By presenting a very successful ball. Now the class’s career is nearing an end And its members soon with the masses will blend But reviewing the victories and defeats of the class Through the four long years that have come to pass, We see they’ve achieved what all classes at¬ tempt. The goal, throughout the years, of which they have dreamt. “As ye sow, so ye reap is a saying so true, And as we see the class go by in review. We know why they’ve won this vict’ry today, They’ve worked and not wasted these four years away. —MARY K. SCOTT 16

eiiLO A hope has been realized, a goal has been reached —Seniors at last! The time draws near when with mingled feelings of joy and sorrow, we must bid farewell to the ivy-covered walls which for four short years have sheltered us as we studied our Books. Here we had our fun, our interests, and our studies. With a treasure-chest of memories of our high school days, we soon shall go from Horace Mann fully appreciative of all that our instructors have done in helping us shape our destinies. BOB LANDECK— From every angle he measures up a scholar, an athlete, and a gentleman. RUTH BRENNAN— ' Tis passing strange that one so small Has charm and courage enough for all. FRED JONES— Emperor Jones—a democratic king of men! WINNIE WINSOR— A picture painted with the brushes of loveliness and intelligence.
