CLASS HISTORY In the cheery Autumn of 1927 the Class of '31 entered upon its four years' career of High School life. Taught beforehand to Hitch Our Wagon to a Star we left the ground, in a light but sturdy glider in tow by the great airship of the faculty and upperclassmen. It was necessary for us to be called from our Freshman inferiority complex into a full realization of High School activity, so that this first year we were kept in tow by a powerful airship. When, at the close of this first High School term we made a success- ful landing, we had gained considerable confidence and a year's experience. The following Autumn found our class in the possession of a strong one-motored monoplane and so with the power furnished by this one motor, the equivalent of one year of high school experience, we left the ground a.t full speed. But we noticed that we had lost a few of our previous passengers, members of our class of the preceding year. This airship carried us through varied experiences, many of the members of our class now asserting their talents in the direction of extracurricular activities. Settling through the clouds of a busy Sophomore year, we made a second successful landing on the solid earth. Taking up our junior year with renewed vigor we determined to make for higher altitude and for greater distance. We fiew away into the clouds in a larger, more stable plane powered by two great motors of two full years of High School activity. We fiew with greater confidence, now that we were nearer our goal than ever before. Our plane operated with greater efiiciency and carried our class into and through almost every activity which our busy institution oHered. The list of passengers, however, was still smaller than before, but that only urged those on board to reach for the higher levels. Knowing that we had at least accomplished something in the way of personal attainment for everyone on board, we landed on a plateau many miles from our first take-off. And now with all the confidence and impetus given us by our previous years in school, we firmly determined to reach the highest levels possible for us to attain and to cover more distance than ever before. With what determinations and hopes, we then left the ground at top speed in an all-metal tri-motored monoplane! The plane was streamlined to reduce wind resistance. It was eHicient in its operation for it was driven through the air by three powerful motors of knowledge gained in three years of High School Life. Sound and rigid in all its parts, thoroughly stabilized by a wealth of experience this plane carried us on and up. We explored more thoroughly and found the hidden secrets of the higher levels of educational and moral development so abundantly given by our Alma Mater. This great plane carried us into more activities than ever before and in a manner indeed fascinating and interesting. And at last, with some reluctance yet with a feeling of joy because of our accom- plishment, we have reached the desired goal-Graduation-and we must land success- fully on this wide plateau, high above and many miles beyond the initial start. We say it is with a certain sense of reluctance that the twenty-three members of the Class of '31 leave the scenes of so many happy hours for the very happiness of the scenes themselves has woven into our hearts the fabric of a warm love for our Alma Mater.
