Yest, at last the goal of our school day dreams has been reached. But long has been the path and many have been the trials and adventures which we have encountered. We did not reach our goal in a day. nor in a year. Four years of hard work, consistent study, and faithful attendance were required to put us where we are. We are now a strong, united body of students who act with one accord, but this has not always been the case. It has taken four years to bring us together as one. Through these years together, we learned the most valuable of lessons—cooperation. We chose our leaders and followed their good advice. The thrill of the first election of class officers will remain in the minds of many of us for a long while. During our Freshman year the foundations for our entire High School career were laid. Many of us resolved to excel, while others were satisfied with only passing. The former, naturally. proved themselves to be the best students and accomplished more. Many of us had determined to be athletes; in fact, almost every Freshman boy was desirous of gaining some recognition in either football, basketball, or baseball. Many of these, however, lost sight of their athletic ambitions because of interest in their studies, while in other cases it was exactly opposite. When the first year at High School had rolled around, and we became Sophomores, our self-importance was unlimited. We took a keen delight in speaking of those “little Freshmen” and in directing them to their classes. Our chests swelled with pride as we passed them in the hall. At last we became Juniors. A new and interesting course was added to our schedule—we had the honor of becoming members of the Literary Societies. While the thought of having to be on the program was at first unpleasant, we soon forgot our stage fright. Our mental ability and our self-confidence increased. During our Junior year, we published our class paper, presented the Junior Follies, and entertained the Seniors at the Junior-Senior banquet, which was of outstanding social importance to us. We (as all other classes) claimed to have had the best Junior-Senior banquet ever given. At last the dream of years was at hand; our goal was reached; we were Seniors! Our class rings arrived, our play was presented; preparations for editing the annual were carried on. Ah! but we were busy people. The many frivolous thoughts that entered our minds when we were lower classmen were completely forgotten. We went about our school work in a businesslike way. This was necessary, because we had much that had to be done. Class assignments, special reports, essays, athletics, and many other things occupied most of our time then. Finally our work was completed. Into it we had put our best efforts and our keenest interest. But we had been duly rewarded. We received a liberal amount of knowledge, training —both physical and mental—and self-confidence. During our four years at high school, many unpleasant things happened: disagreements with teachers, study halls, demerits—everything. But now all these are forgotten, and only pleasant memories remain. We now look upon all the teachers with due respect and with appreciation for all they have done for us. We are about to take a new step in life; we are entering the world to become its citizens and its law makers. Our minds are set forward to higher ambitions and more distant goals. Frank Rhodes 1931 Sixty-three Florentine Senior Class Prophecy $ s As I boarded the Trans-Atlantic Flyer, a plane bound for Berlin, the first person I saw was my old friend Einstein. The usual preliminary salutations dispensed with, he informed me that he had just finished an invention of the greatest importance to man—an improved type of television that would reveal the future. He went on to explain that with a few turns of the dial any time and any place in the future could be obtained. Instead of the open-mouthed expression of amazement which he expected to see on my face, he saw a tolerant smile of amusement. Though somewhat chagrined at this, he assured me that immediately upon our arrival at Berlin he would take me to his laboratories and let me operate the machine myself. Since I had been to his laboratory before, I at once spied a new addition to the litter of apparatus. 1 sat down before it and turned a dial to a date marked 1946—fifteen years in the future! Nebulous at first and then, gradually taking shape, an image appears on the screen, life-like in its clarity. It is a picture of a city, and standing out above all the rest, is a large building, on top of which there is a landing space for ships. This building is devoted entirely to Leland Salters' inventions in aircraft. As I watch, a mammoth, rocketlike ship settles lightly as a feather on the roof. All available space was crowded with people who were cheering the person who had just completed a successful flight to Mars—that peerless young man. Leland Salters. His companions assure the crowd that Leland's narrowest escape had been from the arms of a beautiful Martian girl. As the scene shifts the interior of a large, stately, official building appears.

Basketball 4 § The boys’ basketball team was quite a surprise this year. Although composed almost wholly of new men, and they of light weight, the team gave us some excellent examples of good basketball during the season. Hickey, McLeod, Rhodes, Lucas, and Smith, with able help from Sallenger, Barnhill, Zeigler, Martin, and Jeffers, held things together almost the whole season. With the beginning of the new semester, Captain McCall and Schuyler made their appearance, and took their places well up in ranks for the few remaining games. Rhodes, Sallenger, Zeigler, and Barnhill are the men which we will lose this year. Almost all of the other men have two more years of basketball ahead of them.

Both of our last year's pitchers will be unable to play on this year’s team, and aside from losing “Squint” Taylor, the same men are readv for the new season to begin. Coach Rhame is planning to start practice about the middle of March, or as soon as the weather permits. Coach Rhame hopes to have a goodly number of new men to work with this year. When calls for practice are made, he wants all who are interested in this sport to come out. One Hundred Sixteen Miss Early Miss Brunson Girls’ Basketball Squad 1931 One Hundred Seventeen Girls Basketball $ ❖ Girls’ sports this year were limited to basketball, there being no hockey team. When practice calls were made, there issued forth quite a number of girls aspiring to the basketball squad. A large part of this number was new material, but with Captain Stackley, Turner, and Howard of the last year’s first team as a backbone, a really excellent team was built up by Coach Early. The Yellow Jacquettes were not entered in the championship race, so all of their games were purely exhibitional, played out of love for the sport. When the team was formed, it became soon evident that there had been some shifting done, for Stackley had deserted her old place as side-center, and had joined the ranks of forwards. Turner was still filling excellently the position of forward, and a new forward, Childers, was also present. Seagle and Jackson, both of last year’s squad, were occupying the positions in the center. Howard, a first-team guard of last year, held her old position, with Ashcraft, Dargan, and Geriner as able assistants, who had seen little service prior to this year. Manager Billie Cole arranged a fine schedule for the Jacquettes, and, while they were not victorious in every game, played well and with credit to themselves and the school.
