Oli IO! XOR ION ION I0 alla ..1i,Ffi..C9U:.?U.lXI.. Z lla Senior Class History. In the fall of '24 we entered Boswell High as a class of 425 that in itself, however, isn't mulch to brag about. But all of us were intenlt on making the best of this venture and we began forthwith, n1otwint.hstand- ing the hazing we neceived alt' the ready hands of the Sophs, which was calculated to take some of the cock-sureness out off us. If anything, lt turned out just the opposite fnom what was expected, for we were just as lively as ever. We were ready for anytlh-ing that came along, nlot even excepting 'the finals which we bowled over emerging full fiedgiedl Sopho- mores. The second year began calmly. Calmly, if that word mleans :to pur- sue the elusive Frosh-, get and haze himg outside of this everything else was serene enough for us. Now, as we were better acqulainrtned with the teachers and ourselves we got along very well, not only in studies but also in other activities. We came into piossoessiofnl of the Blalskehball banner and later received anotlher in debating. Yes we were a lively class and not even the finals, that nemesis of many a promising stude, could hold us down. As we passed out of school for our vacaticn, tihe world sta-red agog at us, for were we not Juniors rightly proclaimed so by the Powers that Be? The third year was a repetition of the preceding year. We remained champs both in Basketball and debating, besides pultihing some men on the gridiron who were lucky enough, or rather their ability was recog- nized. We also backed up the other school projects putting on a play, Go Slow Mary, for the benefit of the library. The fourth year began as all the rest, only -trhat it was marked by more work and the realization that it would be our last and! therefore should be marked! by tlhe best of work, setting an example for the under- classmenf to follow, which we faithfully believe we did. All this time our enrollment was steadily decreasirg unllail in our last year we had but a scanzt. 23. Nevertheless we kept. :cn and now as we are slowly being put on the shelf of time and other classes will crime to take our places, theme always will be a warm spot in each heart of the class of '28 for Boswell High and the work w'h.ic'h i't did for urs.

Shakespeare says the eart'h's a stageg And what he says is true, For each of us have a certain aim, Or a certain work to do.- And so in Life's play, the Mansion's large, The gras-s and trees in glorious green, And the many fiofwers, and the birds and bees- Ane used for the stage and soennue. Different plays may be seen on, this earth- Of Tragedy, Love or Dismayg Different srtaages and diflier-ent scenes, May be used in 'each type of play. Min, is a play, containing foyur acts, And the scfhool house is the scene, The first act portrays the kids of ofur class- Entering High, Schooll looking so green, Together wwe worked, together we playledg Together we smiled, and sigh-ed, Together we stood, we never fell- We knew we could win if we tried. The secolnd and third are much like the first- And the fourth act follows in suitg Together we grappled, and together we ftl'i'H1fIT18d'I And in this act, we'll gather the fruit. 'Tis sad when the play comes to an end, And it's hard to keep your eyes dry, For when the curtain goes dofwn, Our schooldmys will have all passedl by. So, in this play of Lessons ansd Woark- We give ourselves a start. And in the next play, the world as a scene, We'll each have a bigger part. i By Nina Para. 'line

Ol ION KOR 'ROI ROI! IO 1 lHli9 .,. 1iFfi..C0LE?U?X1.. i lls Senior Class Plays. The Senior Class of '28 has given -three plays during the last two years. Two of these were cme-act plays, Squarintg it wilthu the Boss, and Not Quite Such a Goose. These being the first one-aclt plays to be given in the history of our school. Tihese plays made quite a hit in our community, for they were short, snappy, and' full of humer. Squar- lng it with the Boss was one of these real life plays in which the home life was v-ery well represented. Jimmy Greening, a- young lru's-band-, and Bet.h, his wife, had just returned home from their vacaltlionl, and to their surprise as well as indignation they fcunld thart a letter was wiaitilng them from eaeh uf their aunts, saying tlhat they would aarzrive therlel that. evenl- ing. This was sa terrible blow to the house of the Glreenings, for hofw could they enltevtain their two aunts who had' been bitter enemies for years. But they decided to make the best of the situation when the aunts arrived. Late in tlhe afternoon, w'h'en the Greenings were making hurried preparations ftgr the aunts, the telephone frang, Hello, Hello. Is this -the Greening residence? Yes, yes, I am Mr. Greening's boss and Mrs. Greening, tell Jimmy that I expect to dine with Ihim tonight. This was more than Beth could stand. Werenitl their two aunts enlough? Jimmy is surprised tae hear tlh-at 'his boss is coming and after a few minutes thought he tells Betlh how he came to get a. raise in his salary. So to carry out the false hood they borrow the neigth.boar's boy and dress him up to represent the baby. Between the Lhearty laughs df the audience and the untangiing of tihfe mystery of the aunts hatred, we find' Mr. Dunn, Jimmy's boss, being the cause of the a.unt's quarrel. Also Mr. Dunn doesn't remember of giving Jimmy -a raise and only wanlts to give him a larger to-ne, but Jimmy believing that ftqhe boss wants U01 knlorw about the baby is in an awful predicame-nft, and is fcrced to tell the tsruftih. Not Quite Such a Goose was also a real to life play where the only boy does just the oppcsite of what his big sis wanvts him sto. He will eat huckleberry pudlding which makes his mouth. black, and tease her about her boy friend, who dresses in tlh-e latest styles. He was a real althlete when it came to baseball. He dleliglrted in going with the rough crowd in spite of all his mother and sister could say err do. He was also a wom- an hater, unatil the right girl came along, then his ways changed consider- ably, and vefry quickly. The characters in tih-is play were very well chos- en and did their parts very successfully. Our Junior play, Go Slow Mary , was one off tlrtlse plays where tihe young husband believed that his wife had life boo easy anndl by -her idle- ness was falling in love with his friend, also his yioung wifet having work- ed in the business world before marriage, is inclined to believe that he also has life too easy and that gelttinig a job was a very easy matter. They quarrel an-d decidie to exchange jobs, but. after a long seige of hardships on both sid-es, they at last found that the only place frolr the wife was in the home, and the husband i'n tfh-e business world. We hope our coming play on May 16th will be as great a success as our previous ones have been. Page Twenty-lhree
