S. we bid farewell, And our teachers here, The actual joys must now fade Replaced by memories dear. 3. Our Alma Mater gave to us Knowledge which we sought, May our achievements bring her Reward for what she taught. 2. We ' s heard oftimes that Life ' s com- plex With its problems deep. But we shall face it bravely. And overcome them all. 4. She gave to us ambitions high A goal to attain; May the laurels which we reap Bring honor to her name Chorus. Cheer your Alma Mater! Give to her your praise! Let her teachings and ideals Guide you all your days.

■| II IC (■ () M M K X T FLORENCE WITTICH I haven ' t got frat pins; I haven ' t men ; But I have got some brains, nd I make use cf them. WILMA WESCOTT People say I ' m cute as can be 1 m clever and bright as any you see I trip to the dances with various men: 1 have no real choice — just any of them. HAZEL WASHBURN Hazel here will leave us now, Her best of questions, ' why ' and ' how ' ' ' In shorthand she is sure a whizz, Why — becanse she tends to bizz. RALPH TELLER There is a saying short but sweet We l now he is short and think he is sweet. He comes a long, long wav to school. And he studies mighy hard as a rule. EDWARD VATH I ' m such a bashful ( ? ) boy. Around the girls I blu.sli and stutter, But when it comes to basket ball I alway.s set their hearts a-flutter. HELEN YOUNT ■ ' They say I make too much noise For such a little girlie; But don ' t you see I like the boys And win them with my hair so curly. LLOYD WILLIAMS I am quite an accomplished lad, I take up whatever ' .s the fad; When it comes to debating I have a high rating. And at the banjo I ' m not half bad.

T II E C O M M E N T HISTORY Schciol is nut anil the cxainiiiations that nican the einl (it uur iii.u ' li schiMil curriculum arc n ' cr. I ' ciur years have passed since (lur class 1ic.i;an to slu(l - the Latin, Al clira, and llistory that seemed such an endless task.

(jur class of 98 members entered Keokuk IIi.L, di as Freshmen. It can hardly be said that we resembled the niajorit - of fresh- men classes: because, except for a sliL ht difference in size, the occasiiMial ajjearance in a wroni;- class room, and the feeliuLj of self conscioiisnes.s every one experiences in the first assembly of the year, wi- were ' not cons])icuouslv different from the upper classmen. riie ujiper classmen had sacrificed all social . -atheriuLCs diu ' im; the war and as they had not yet returned to the habit of haviuf the customary num- ber of outside pleasures, we fell in line w ith the rest and sacrificed ours. In the Freshman and Sophomore years all our energ-y was exercised on studies and supporting ' scholastic activities — footltall, basket ball, and declamator - contests. The first and second years that we were in high school were interruijted by unexpected vacations. Frist the I ' du compelled the authorities to lock the doors to us; and, in t he second year, the coal shortage made it necessary to close again for a few weeks. When we arrivcfl at our Junior year, we became more assuming, and gradually felt the importance and res])onsil)ility that becomes a jimior class. It was in the early part of this year, i()20- ' 2i, that we organized and select- ed our class colors, silver and blue. The officers elected were: President — Beverly I ickinson. ' ice- President — . delaide Anschutz. Secretary — Calvin Ailing. Treasurer — Ilcnvard Fulton. Later in the year, oitr president received an a]ii)ointmi-nt to . nn;ipolis. We were indeed sorry to lose Beverly from our class, as his pep and loyalty meant nuich to us: but we were ])roud that one of our classiuen should be honored with such an ai)i)ointment. .Adelaide . nschutz filled his place as president, and we elected William Ruddick as our vice-i)resident. .Also, at this titue, we elected Wilma Wescott as assistant treasurer. Howard was so busv with Comiuent work that he needed hel]) in handling our finances, or rather, in handling our Lack of finances, ( )ur first social function was a weiner roast at Price ' s Creek early in the fall.
