% Senior (Class history A class history is like an autobiography, made up of self-analysis and per- .haps egotism. So this one is. As Freshmen we fulfilled our duty by taking full possession of rooms three and fifteen, occupying more seats in the assembly room than any Freshmen class before us, rising in full dignity from our seats when the new faculty were asked to stand. Though green, it was a lively green for we took the first opportunity to go on a picnic in trucks and cars to Mount Glenn. We were dubbed a very enthusiastic class by our fellow students when we put on the “Freshmen Assembly”, a stunt show put on and acted by members of the Freshmen class. Our Sophomore year was full of pep and picnics. We still kept our title as an enthusiastic class, owing to our “gang” of boys who were always the uninvited guests at every party that took place and kept almost everything humming. As Juniors, we were the peppiest class in school, winning both the girls’ and boys’ interclass basketball games and the mascot fight. Our first picnic though, tended to put a damper on the year by the accident of a car tipping over. Toward the end of the year we gave a party at which the girls, most of whom knew how to dance, taught the boys so we would be able to make a showing at the Junior-Senioi banquet. It was a decided success and the boys learned how to dance». The Junior play proved successful, and the play cast, on the last night of the Senior play, gave the Senior play cast a banquet. The Junior-Senior Banquet was delightful, and so ended our Junior year joyously. “Wasn’t it a grand and glorious feeling” at last to be able to call ourselves Seniors and occupy the choice seats in the assembly, and be upper classmen at last. Oh, that feeling of scorn we experienced for the mere Freshmen who entered that year. Our Senior year, all the way through, was a crowning glory to our four years in high school. Many of us experienced regrets at the thoughts of leaving forever. The first picnic at Hilgard brought us all together and we “stuck” the rest of the year. (Class JJroplirry One morning we decided to go on a sight seeing tour. As we were obliged to return in a short time, we chose to go on the airplane bus. We rushed to the station to engage front seats as my friend and I were both partially deaf. While we stood waiting for our tickets, we were astonished at being addressed by our maiden names. Peering through our spectacles, we recognized Dawrence Trill the ticket agent with mysterious black hair, horn rimmed glasses, and flashing diamonds in cuff links and stick pin. He kindly offered to engage a taxi for us». The driver was one of his friends, aud who should it be but Elsie Yeck. My friend and I were both very doubtful of our safety when we learned that the aviator was John Robinson. However a short talk with him convinced us that our safety was assured, because he was now the husband of Ducile Craig and the proud and responsible father of five small children. Among the many passengers, we discovered several of our old high school class mates. Mrs.. Fonda McDonald was sitting at the opposite end of the plane, continually fussing with her French poodle. We were disturbed in our talk with her by a great commotion at the side of the plane. Investigation proved it was caused by Genevieve Hanna with a huge camera which she was having considerable difficulty to find room for. Just then the aviator called “All aboard,” and the late 29
