P. H. S. citadel a timid, questing band bent on a four year pilgrimage. The High School Mixer marked their admittance into the L. P. II. S. ranks, but not being able to speak in one voice, they chose certain of their number to speak for them, namely, Roy Sonneborn, Robert Hcider, and Hazel Wegner. The wise leadership of these did much toward making us an integral part of the L. P. II. S. ranks. Young, inex- perienced, and ignorant, we valiantly strove together, wrestling with the mighty problems our teachers set before us, and setting at naught the scolTs of those who had advanced only a little ahead of us on the journey. Nine months rolled by, and the first lap of our journey was over. We chose new leaders to represent us: Ernest Pease, Roy Sonneborn and Florence Palm. The third lap of the journey began with a new set of leaders, Robert Punsky, Ernest Pease, Bernice Ribordv and Edna Oman. As we advanced further our problems increased, but greater triumphs were achieved. It happened that dur- ing this period our financial depression led us to produce “Captain Applejack,” a howling success. It was also memorable that we obtained insignia to identify us with the ranks of the L. P. II. S. Looking forward to our fellow members who had almost completed their pilgrimage, we honored them with the Junior Prom. Now we approach the last lap of our pilgrimage. Our journey is almost ended. Under the leadership of Homer Fitzpatrick, Louise Ehercnmann, Ernest Pease, and Muriel Rambo we have weathered many vicissitudes and have many achievements to look back upon. It was now our turn to extend a hand to those who were just beginning on the long journey, so we gave the High School Mixer. At this point in our pilgrimage we presented the play entitled “The Swan.” We have within our ranks poets, musicians, actresses, preachers, statesmen, philosophers, professors, judges, lecturers, physicians, authors, artists and one U. S. President. Do not ask me to specify the which or the whom. Ask me thirty years from now, and perhaps I may be better able to say, for of course they arc still in a state of partial development, and while I can tell you what they arc now, “It doth not yet appear what they shall be.” Wide vistas lie ahead of us as we continue on this journey, yet we cannot but regret to leave behind us all those who have made it possible for us to com- plete this pilgrimage.
