In NtlW'l,'ll1lh91' of 1933 the financial 1lll2lIlfZlSIllil.2,'U1'iil twhatever that nieansj drove the teachers to the stage to enact Sl1llYV'S t'Applecart , and to reveal hitherto unsuspected dramatic ability. Which instance reminds ns Sweet are the uses of adversityg Which, like the toad, ugly and venomous, lVears yet a precious jewel in his head. tThe Bard of Avon J Not wishing to be lefft out of world affairs our class placed Boos, Martin, Rentz, and Hartman on the Debating Team. The Vidette too called upon 'the Class of '34 to fill the key positions. John Ursprung became editor-in-chief, while Howett, Gaintner, Solomon, Bevis, Rcntz, Van Ness, Bradel. Boos, and Allen iilled various positions on the staff. During the semester the Vidette carried out a distinct cover design for the semester and won distinction in originality of features by being awarded a certiiicate from Sigma Delta Chi, National Professional Journalistie Society: as well as a comment from Quill and Scroll in praise of feature writing. Fellows who brought credit to the class in Athletics included the Swarr Brothers. John a11d Al. Slover. Marks. Bevis, Solomon. Stoe, Bradel, Murwin, Gantz, Darrah, Morrison, Adams, Van Ness, Swope, Boos, Weaver, and Shreiner. In accordance with the long established custom the Senior classes also pre- sented a play, The Torchbearern by Kelley. Ending the dramatic season with 21 flourish. tl1e Glee Club presented that satirical and yet romantic Gilbert and Sullivan work, The Pirates of Penzance , one of tl1e best presentations ever held in the High School auditorium. The Senior Prom and Commencement Excerises ended our term , At the graduation ceremony, Robert Martin explained the True Purpose of Education , Richard Boos advocated Regional Planning or the Substitution of Fore- thought for Haphazardness in Utilizing the Eartlfs Surface : and finally Roland Loeb exposed the Nasty Doings of tl1e Nasty Munitions Makers . The orchestra play-ed music, new and old. In spite of the entertainment we were glad when it was over. Though varying wishes, hopes, and fears, Fevered the progress of these years, Yet now, days, weeks, and mouths but seem The recollection of a dream. And IIOXV. before we leave this school to enter t'life's school we pause to ex- press our highest desires May we always be tolerant. May we always have the proper balance of head and t'heart . May we never grow old. May we put something new under the sun. May We always be good citizens of the world. And may there be no sadness of farewell WVhen we depart. Ted Stein Historian.
