Assistant Secretary Herbert Miller S ergeant-at-Arms James Epps Assistant S ergeant-at-Arms EDITORIAL How slowly four years seems to have passed! At last the end has been reached by the class of ’31. But, as one looks back it seems scarcely yesterday that a crowd of happy-go-lucky boys and girls started out on that broad highway of high school life. The freshman year was the beginning of this new adventure. Graduates from the various ward schools met, many for the first time, and became acquainted. During the first weeks many of the upper classmen even dropped their assumed air of superiority and were friendly. Many and strange were the new experiences. One was constantly moving and changing class rooms for each new subject. Of course, there were harder lessons to figure out. But all was not tiresome work, for many freshmen saw their first football or basketball game at Lincoln. Indeed this first step was rather novel. Then sophomores, — now feeling entirely at home and quite elated over the advance- ment, they were even able to help direct the new freshmen. New fields of endeavor — athletics, oratorical contests, music — are now of interest. The chief desire was to reach that year which sounded like music in their ears — a junior. With Junior dignity assumed there wasn’t a phase of school life in which there were not to be found juniors. There were dramatic stars, football and basketball heroes, honor students, and Juniors who were musically inclined. In fact, everyone agreed that this was a year filled with success. The juniors drank deeply of that cup of “Achieve- ment” and were eager for more. The summit in the building called “High School Education” is at last reached. Yet they are not so eager to leave. Memories of other years crowd these last days. Joy and sorrow vie for the mastery. Who would leave friends with thir cheery, sympathetic words; teachers who were ever eager to help and counsel and ready to give words of commendation? Is that not reason enough for their hearts to be somewhat sad? Christine Cole, Edito? ' -in-Chief. 1931 Page Three
