GRAHAM, Chairman E. MAX XVALES Miss BERTHA DANHEIM HARRY L. XVILMOT HARRY H. BROAD Miss MARY A. ROBINSON The Class of Classes Four years ago a boy and girl enrolled at La Salle-Peru. Each resolved to work hard in his studies and to take part in the many social activities of the school. Thus L-P. became acquainted with Mr. Competition. At first it was necessary for the two to learn by the trial and error method. The boy expressed his zealous energy by running through the hallg whereupon be became acquainted with Mr. Kohin. The girl in her eagerness to succeed asked the oflice to give her a few sample creditsg also, as she happened to remark that she had a love for Botany, she was sent by an unscrupulous Senior atop the New uilding to look for the roof garden. But this ambitious pair never erred twice. In their Sophomore year we find that the dignilied Seniors are consulting them again and again for advice. The girl is now a member of the High Scholarship Legion. They performed their parts so ably in the Sophomore pllay that great promise was given of a Junior play that would surpass all expecta- tions. And did t ey live up to t ose eqqplectations? They did .... The boy became a hero in Athletics and won great honor for the school. e faculty now paused to remark that these child prodigies were excellent examples of the rest of their class. Mr. Graham placed enough confidence in both to make them Captains of his Service Squad at different periods of the day. They had now obtained the enviable position of Seniors. With the advent of their Senior year came the election of both to the National Honor Society. The boy could not compare with the girl when it came to composing En- glish Themes and transcribing Shorthand, but he conducted himself creditably in Mathematics and Mechanics. The thought that they were soon to be graduated causes the boy to set his chin more firmly, and the girl to allow a few stray tears to trickle down her cheeks, while an admiring Faculty pauses long enough in its daily routine to remark, '35, that was the Clam of Cln.freJ.

We here have tried to do the task, That we encountered, saw it through. But if another one should ask, You did all which you tried to do? We'd stop a moment for review, And reconsider. Have we chaffed At some who labored? When we knew That they were learning, still we laughed? Our hearts are heavy we must go. No more a unit, we are taught, And some among us will bestow, The knowledge learnediwhere e'er they ought But those who left a depth unsought, Will lower sink, no longer rise. They rested when they should have fought, With saddened hearts we hear their cries. In years to come you'll hear a name, A friendly name, your heart enthralls, A senior classmate 'now in fame, But memory flickers and recalls, How 'laughter rang between the walls. We cannot hide it or deny, That most of us, who tread these halls, May be forgotten by and by. -DcFaye Baker '35.
