He told of the achievements of the class, and how it had upheld the standards of the school all the time it had been at Mc- Kinley. He introduced to us Elvirn Bickley, A9 president, and Oswald Land, B9 president, both of whom gave very interesting and witty speeches in the gavel ceremony. Elvirn said: In the name of .the W'24 Class. I take great pleasure in presenting to you, the president of the B9 Class, this precious gavel, the symbol of supreme authority. The whole school has looked with envious eyes upon the remarkable achievements of the present A9 Class, feeling that we are possessed of magical powers. Today I shall reveal to you the source of our power. It lies in the magic powers of this gavel which is soon to be yours. With its aid we have made this year the most successful one in the history of McKinley Junior High School. Under our infiuence you have enjoyed a ser- ies of plays unparalleled for splendorg such as, The jubilee Singers, the Or- pheus Quartet, and the famous old sea captain, who, 'for forty long years har- pooned the whale,' and who showed you an exhibit unequalled in all the world. All has not been solid fact, however, for we presented to you 'The Romance of Electricity' We have added a wing to the new building, providing for twenty-two new class rooms. VVe have added a magnificent new library, in which we have gathered the wisdom of the ancient and the modern world. VVe have added a fine new cafeteria, which satisfies the gustatory needs of 347VL pupils daily. We have laid a mile of new sidewalks requiring 8,947,263M sacks of cement. VVe used 6482 bushels of grass seed to beautify the front yard with a lawn. Our dramatic talent as displayed in 'Their Tomorrows' and 'Upon the VVaters,' in which several B9's held minor parts, have enchanted you. Only
