SCHOLASTIC HEADS NAMED Doris Carney was chosen valedictor- ian snd Viola Wendling, salutatorian of the Class of 1934. = —— — — $ —$ —_——_——- History Around the first. part of September in nineteen hundred and thirty some fifty of the so ealled green Freshmen entered the portals of Maroa High School to further develop their mental abilitv. They were weleomed into Thigh School with the annual Wiener Roast, held at Maxine Stiver’s home. The boys were lucky for Mr. Menke put a ban on all serious hazing. For our first year John Sterling was chosen Presi- dent, John Meador Vice President, Doris Carney Seeretary, and Twain Fort Treasurer, Our advisors were Mr. Norton and Miss Garrison. The elass colors picked were erimson and cream, the flower was the American Beanty Rose, and the motto was ‘‘Over, under or threagh; but never arowid.’’ Nery the end of that year we moved into this spacious building from the over-erowded old building. The class helped to send the Seniors off at-the All School Pienie. The next year forty eight students entered school as_ slightly dignified Sophomores but we soon found that we were about as bad as the Freshmen. Our advisors this year were Mr. Keves and Mr. Wolfe. During the year Mr. Wolfe’s Home Room worked ont the basie part of the present Point System. The officers this year were Cathryn Berry President, Bob Stoutenborongh Vice President, Viola Wendling Seerct- ary, and Charles Carney Treasurer. A majority of the class attended the Fresh- men Weiner Roast at the Spreekelmeyer farm. The elass enjoyed several get- togethers this year, one was in the form of a Kid Party at the High School Gym, another was the Halloween Party at Pauline Tarson’s home. A Sophomore Weiner Roast and the yearly School Pienie were also taken in. Forty four upperclassmen eame back to school the next fall with the BLUE AND GOLD of the Class of ’34 idea to really enjoy the last two years Bob Stoutesborough was elected — Pyog;. dent, Arthr Oakley Vice President. Helen Wikoff Secretary, and Pauling Larson Treasurer. Mr. Keyes and Miss Flugum were our advisors this vear. (0; eourse most of the class attended tho annual Freshmen Weiner Roast at George Stein’s home. We put on a mystery play ‘‘The Phantom Pilot’’ during the first part of the sehool year, it was determined a Soon after the play, Wesley one of our most valuable was called. Near the end of school the elass entertained the Seniors at the annual Banquet evidently it was a gcod banquet for no complaints were heard. In order to start the vacation off right we had a pieniec at Nelson Park in Deeatur. Another pienie, for the whole school, was also held at Nelson Park. success, Kinkaid, members This year we entered school, forty five strong, determined to make it the biggest and best year of all. At the first class meeting Leon Riley was elected President, Helen Wikoff Vice President, Leota Austin Seeretary, and Chris Garriott Treasurer. The Seniors, with rest of the school, were hosts to the Freshmen at the Weiner Roast held in the Gym because of rain. Our advisors for this year were Mr. Norton and Miss Flugum for part of the year. Another Weiner Roast the Junior and Senior, was held at Charles Milnes home. For its play this year the class successfully gave a comedy, ‘ ‘Oh Prol- essor,’? The party at Eloise Morse thaler’s home was enjoyed, especial some parts. Much to the envy of ae rest of the school, the whole skipped school and part of them collec ke Fre — : ed and journeyed to Millar Park in —- —s Bloomington. Tarly in May the Juniors q entertained us at the Junior-Senior Banquet at Sunnyside Country Club near Decatur. _.: Now we are about to leave and this will be one of the last times we will all be together. The School Picnic will be a farewell party. During its four years of existence the class has been active in all extra-cirrieular activi- ties. On a May thirty first we shall received our diplomas and the class will be a memory. ‘‘Tout est bien qni finit bien. —Harry Bowden.

Juniors Breakfast at Salt Creek Every time we turned around and looked back into the study hall Friday, May 18, we were sure to. see a junior sleeping.

Many graduates are wondering just what ‘step lies ahead for them. They may doubt that an immediate start on the next phase of their careers is at hand due to the ap- parent chaos of our economic life. They stand at a crossroads wongering which path to take and it may seen that all paths are obstructed. rs The danger of pessimism is great. Because of this it is well to look at a few facts on the other side of the picture. It is clear that our civilization is passing through a great. transition period. Old things are being swept away and many new experiments are being tried. Because of the greatness and suddeness of the chonge it is keenly felt and aceomnanied by disaster and tribulation. Although our present order may seem to be tumbling about our ears, it is necessary to have faith that a new and better order must ‘come. The graduate of to-day is standing in the midst of this change with the opport- unity before him of helping to build the High Schoo] Exhibits Shown at Last P, T, A.

There are other valuable f ields that must not be forgotten. The use ot increased leisure time, the aesthetic side of life, a true understanding of Christ, an appreciation of home and friends are a few important phases of life that must be developed for complete living. Our graduate of to-day must forge ahead determinedly with faith that = chance will soon come. Youth will ines new way through it all and add ne‘ gifts to civilization. : W. D.

OVER UNDER NEVER AROUND Over, under, never around Has been 34’s main back ground, To strive towards a goal has been our aim Although some of us care not for fame. ‘ � KK —25— Our motto from our freshman year has been An onward path on which we trend Over, under, never around Although we are about. tempted to turn Some of us are studious, while others play, But we shall all reap a reward some day. Our four years of pleasure will soon be done And most of us the fight will have won. We were glad at first to see it end. But we thought of our chums and where they would wend, Our gladness is sadness as we appear. to-night For our friends and chums will soon fade from sight. We thank you, and wish you suecess in the school And may you have luck, we rule, For over, under, never around Has been 34’s main back ground. did as a —Virginia Ilockaday. | GRADUATES=- Start a New Deal! — Give yourself a perfect gift— A Northwest Mutual Life Policy is a perfect gift; for -your present; and for your future; as well as tor those you love or those you will love.
