4 THE SENIOR ECHO Setttnr Ollass Uistnnt Is L t? Honk! Honk! Stand aside and let Hie mighty Seniors pass! On Sep- Iember seventeenth, nineteen hundred and twenty-six. a large group of ego- tistical. yet persevering young people were ushered into Lebanon High School. The ordeal of registration was successfully completed, making us feel very sophisticated. After the wheels and gears of our class had been well oiled by frequent paddlings and rehearsals of ninth period, we got under way like a band of sheep, one following the other without asking one why. Before the dawn of the Freshman reception, ice cream, cake and an over- whelming number of paddles haunted our minds. On the appointed night all things promised were duly carried out. with great stress on the paddles. Our much wanted attention was raised a few points when we won the annual Freshman vs. Eighth Grade football game. Score number one for us! Next, to the more intellectual traits of our class, Kathleen Skinner represented us in debate. Some ambitious bookworms advocated a summer session but they were so much in the minority that it was not considered and for three months the doors of the red brick edifice were closed upon us. Lebanon's gates of higher education were again opened in September, nine- teen hundred and twenty-seven, to a group of some two hundrd odd students, representing the four steps in the ladder of education: the second step was occupied by a class somewhat smaller but more earnest and with improved intellect. Our second uneventful year rallied around with nothing more exciting to us than the erecting of our class pennant. A creation of beauty was our aim. It fell short: just an ordinary pennant adorns the wall but significant sentiment connects it to our class. In the spring we nominated Reta Fitzwater for queen of the strawberry fair: she won with an overwhelming number of votes and a new Ford in the bargain. The Junior High Jinx was both a success financially and as an entertainment. The bank roll acquired by our endeavors was soon devoured at the Junior- Senior Banquet in such palatable substances as chicken a-la-king. ice cream, etc. The subject for the evening was “The Junior-Senior Joy Spin.-’ with a clever menu appropriate to different parts of an airplane. The program con- sisted of “Air Speed Indicators.” with Arthur Young, president of the Junior class, as toastmaster. Following the banquet a large number of students wit- nessed the biggest and most enjoyable event of the year, the Prom. We out- shown all. other classes by having exquisite programs printed for the special occasion: thus our year ended. Again in September, nineteen hundred and twenty-nine, we entered upon the last lap of our journey as Seniors. We began to take a more definite aim as to our' future in life, at least, we think we did and in some cases it held true. Nothing of imiKirtance happened between the date of our entrance and our Senior play. Nora. Wake I'p.” which was carried out with great enthus- iasm. The dramatic ability of our class culminated in “The Patsy,” the cast of which consisted mostly of Seniors. One of the most memorable events of the year to us was our Senior Picnic at Cascadia. We are now looking forward with pleasure, mingled with regret, to our graduation exercises which are to lie held on May twenty-seventh, at the Methodist church.
