Class Motto: Today we follow, tomorrow we lead SQ Class Poem Great school, whose honors we share, Whose love, so noble, Deep in our hearts we bear. What friend could be more trusting- You've taught us to be men- What friend could be more faithful Than that which you have been? We love you Alma Mater, You've taught us to look highg God bless your mighty doctrines, And may they never die! But we are now to leave you. What sadder fate could be As here our ways are parted. We bid adieu to thee! Go forward, oh you classmates, The play is just begun: And when death draws down the curtain, May no act be found undone. Play fair. play square, play high: Then through sweet chords of mern'ry, Your souls will never die. Russell Allen SQ Class Flower Talisman Rose

Girls' Class History Our class history? That familiar word, history, invariably suggests dates, battles, and famous events. However, 110 conscious effort on our part or further promptings from 'teachers will be needed to bring to our 1ni11ds the happy as- sociations and pleasant experiences of these past three years. This period is firmly stamped for all thne upon our memories. As to battles, they were con- spicuous by 'their absence. at least those outwardly visible. No doubt, many of us had to Hput the damper on our volcanic spirits and inward seethings when Fate played tricks on us. Then, too, there are those events which stand out on our three-year calendar. To others, who probably view our graduation as most important, they may appear uni1npo1'ta11t, but they signify THE main occurrences for us. Now that our high school days are almost at an end. it see111s only natural that We pause for a momeirt on our way to glance 'back in review of our class doings since we entered these portals. After digging deep down into the files, the date, September 4. 1931, emerges as the first marker. On 'that memorable day, Ship S. H. S. '34 lirst appeared on the horizon. We were a motley crew, having varied personalities and abilities. YVe came with mingled feelings. NV'hat lay ahead of us was duly impressing, but We were not overawed. Naturally, as Sophomores, we were subjected to the jeering and taunts of the over-lordly upper classmen. But we bided our time ffor one is not destined always to be a mere Sophomorej, and. although we main- tained silence, our consciences we1'e allowed to work overtime. Nevertheless, our newness soon wore off, a11d school life assumed its accustomed place, al- though biology proved a source of wonderment once in a while. The Drum and Bugle Corps was just in its infancy our first semester and its ranks were considerably swelled by our recruits who willingly trekked to L. H. S. to learn how to beat illlll blow. Those who were musically inclined were quickly singled out and put in their respective places in the Glee Vinh and in the Orchestra. Of course, all shared in the election of extra-curricular clubs and what a disillusionment that was! Wwe put forth sincere effort on our selections, and then, to our dismay, practically all of us were ensconced in a Conduct and Man- ners Club. XVe took the gesture for what it was intendede-a subtle hint-but resolved henceforth to put our first choice last. Although our class was un- organized. we lent our support to the various school functions and turned out enthusiastically for in'tra-mural sports. Successfully hurdling all hazards, such as examinations and standard tests, we were enrolled as Juniors. Miss Lillian Rowe was made our oiiieiator and our first major step was the election of officers who were as follows: President ...,......,.. ,... . ...Josephine Lanious Yice-President ...... .....,. Is Ielissa Reynolds Secretary ...,..........,,..,.........,...,...........,.....,.. .........,...... , . ....... Rose Dunn XVe fulfilled our next obligation by choosing, ill conjunction with the boys. the colors blue and white as representative of our class. and followed through with the purchase of distinctive emblems and pennants. Then the main social affair of the year-the Junior Prom. lVe ventured forth with palpitating hearts but the evening proved an enjoyable 0118 with not even a slip of 'the fork or the loss of a bow Cbeaul to mar the event. Four girls were officially recognized for their character, service, leadership, and scholarship by being placed in the National Honor Society. Then came the Dawn and we viewed it with hearts eager and proud. lVe had attained the position long coveted-that of a Senior. XVe tried to conduct ourselves accordingly: that is, in the traditional Senior manner, but a dignified
