ABULAE SENIOR CLASS HISTORY Way back in nineteen twenty-six one bright September morn Within the walls of El Tee Hi, a brand new class was born, With well defined precociousness and not a single fear, It started bravely forth upon its destined great career. 'Tis said that from the very start ability and pep Were manifest abundantly at every single step. It gave alike its strong support to honor rolls and teams, And turned to actions all its host of visionary dreams. A most successful banquet in the spring of Sophomore year Made any doubts that others might have had completely clear That it would climb to heights unknown before by any class, And leave a record which it challenged others to surpass. Two plays put on in Sophomore year betokened future fame, A prophecy to which, we know, complete fulHllment came. The seniors of a year ago would testify, we know, That '30 just out-did itself as Iunior-Seniors go. And now at last, four full years past, at its maturity A lengthy list of Well known names defies obscurity. In football, names of Titus, Taylor, Laidlaw, Zimmer, Myers, Stand out to underclassmen as the goal of their desires. Ioe Hengels, Azzarello, Gilmore, Beebe--this quartet For basketeers of future years, a splendid mark has set. In track, Ralph Lillig, Zimmer, Myers, Trower, and Stulik, too Have added volumes to the list of things a class can do. g So also Dexter, Sampson, Gessler, Salsman--many more In girls' athletic have heaped up full many a winning score. Outstanding in the music sphere, we can't neglect to mention Buchanan, .Willems, Speer and Brown-then call to your attention That on the lists of actors and of artists, one may see The names of Murdock, Taylor, Edmonds, Litsey, Gatenby. Without the help of Sencebaugh and Giles and Ellen Carr The Lion fbless its lyin' heartl would ne'er have gone so far. 'Twould take so many verses more should me attempt to tell Of all its brainy scholars-we just couldn't very well. So we must be content to say fwith all due modestyl Search any honor roll for proof of '30's brilliancy. And now at last, sad to relate, this class so tried, so true Is leaving high school days behind as every class must do But e'er it goes it pauses, softly whispers, with a sigh, Old school, we've loved you-we'll be true-Good by old school good bye' Page 24

ii- .... ABULAE ---it .11-1 Lucius Aucuvr Him. WARREN Q OUR SPONSORS Sponsors? Maybe someone would ask, Why do we have sponsors and what good are they? We have found that they are a necessary part of a successful class and we consider ourselves very lucky in having them, as every school is not so fortunate. Our sponsors guide the locomotive that carries the train of cars in which the members of our class are the passengers. The firemen are responsible for the energy of the train. On our train Miss Roadstrum, chosen as one of the sponsors in our freshman year, shoveled the fuel into the languid fire of our enthusiasm: immediately it became more intense, and wc started off at full speed. In her spare moments she organized the Pep Club for the girls of the classes, and they have imparted her enthusiasm to the rest of the school at our games. 'Member when we had assemblies in the old study hall? Who was it that got up and gave a snappy talk or a cheer when pep was low? Miss Roadstrum, of course. Mr. Warren has acted as engineer, for he has looked ahead into the future and carried us safely past the bad spots. He has stayed right with us the whole trip, and now as we enter the last lap, his influence is spreading farther and farther. If our engineer should leave us, our train would surely be derailed, for the guiding control would be gone. About half way past the third mile-post, Miss Roadstrum gave us our last shovelful of energy in laying plans for the Iunior-Senior banquet and thenshe stopped off at the station Rest because of ill health. We pause here to thank Miss Iacobsen for the assistance she gave us during the remainder of that year. . I And then you know, over the last hard hills they often put on a second engine to carry part of the load. Guess who engineered the second engine? Miss Aucutt, whom we elected in our senior year to fill the vacancy left by Miss Roadstrum. When she has not been busy with her other duties as a sponsor, she has gone through the train to arouse those sleepers who still have work to do before they reach the goal. Maybe it's only a report, maybe an incomplete to make up, or some such trifling matter, but those Hnishing touches are the important ones: so they must be, and have been, made in time and well done. So it is our sponsors who have guided us along the roadway to success. It is to them that we offer our gratitude and thanks, and it is their influence that will help to guide us in future years. - i Page 23
