1.11 History, Graduating Class of S'Z6 Well, here we are like lost lambs wandering 'round this big school. We were told to take the elevator, but they have so many 1t's hard to find any che of them. We admit that it would be easier to take the elevator than to walk up to the cactus gar- den, where they serve ice cream. We don't find any of the cheerful service that the A9's advertise in the Trail that they will give us. The student. body, represented by Elvin Brickly, greeted us in the auditorium. They call it and , but we think that is very disrespectful. Mr. Brown, the prin- cipal, gave us a hearty welcome, which cheered us greatly, but as soon as we left the auditorium our spirits fell because the darling A9's called us scrubs again. The Trail is the paper published by McKinley. We have all resolved that when we are A9's we will be editors-in-chief of that wonderful paper. lt's a shame they allow those cynical A9's to run it, when we. the B'7's, could do quite well. When We're A9's we'll show 'em. They have a Board of Control. Wonder what boards they control. Trafiic boys and girls are our natural enemies. If we run up the stairs or go up on the wrong side, they make us walk up nn what they call the right side. Oh. opera chairs for the auditorium! We're real grown up's at las... Our noses are high up in the air, and we have learned to answer right back to thou who call us scrub: they can't get the best of us. We had an aud. call celebrating the new chairs and the new Acme Motion Pic- ture Machine. We think it's the best machine that's made, or that will ever be made. We saw pictures of Theodore Roosevelt given by the student body. Heard the wonderful Jubilee Singers. Oh, my. but we were thrilled! We had an ideal Hall-:Vween party for ten cents. Parties and parties galore! The Penny Drive is here. Many who usually buy suckers are putting their pen- nies into the box. This tcrm's almost over. Hurrah! We're A7's now! We can tease the scrubs! Orutorical contest on United States Constitution held. Valentine parties enjoyed. The Puppet show, Snow White, was given Friday, the 9th of May. The McKinley song books are ready. The new shop is started. It is to cost 5523 400, and will contain perfectly equipped shops for wood work, reed work, home mechanics, electricity, and auto mechanics. Motherfs Day is celebrated, S'hool Mast,er's banquet held Saturday, M-ay 10, 1924. Inferfsting program given. The B8 term is not very interesting, just one day's work after another. but it soon passes, .and now we are A8's. Nothing exciting this term until March 4. when we heard the Presidenifs ln- augural address over radio. It was quitea scnsation. Radios were lent to the school by shops in the vicinity of Mr-Kin'ey. The f'oz-al parade was held, and McKinley had a wonderful float. lt was decorat- ed in Purple and Gofd, and carried those who took part in the play, Joseph, the Interpreter . We likfd the A9 play, Daddy Long Legs , and we are thrilled with the thought of being B9's at last! We are now rivals of the A9's. We're determined to become the best A9 class yet. There were interesting HaIlowe'en and Thanksgiving parties and programs. Each grade presented an entertainment in the auditorium during this term, and every one was he'ter than the one before, alhough the first ones couldn't be beaten. Si'as Marnerf' given by the graduating class was a great success. The acting and costumes made it a play long: to be remembered but even as we watched this pro- duction we said to our nefghbors. Wait ti'l you see US when we give our class play. Well. here we are A9's with all the scars gone that we received in the battle- fields nf scrubdom. How we do delight in teasing the scrubs! We should devote a whole book to the activities of this important term of a most sip...'ificant class. There have been inierestimz programs in the auditorium. a thrilling operetta, May Day festivities. track meets, Field Day exercises, Penrod , the class play-the season's biggest hit. and all sorts of ohev' exciting events. We had everyone curious over the re- sult of the A9 meet'ng. We tc-'d scrubs our colors were black and blue: they believed it. We had our pictures taken for the Purple and Gold, and now we are more than ever interested in that little semi-annual. We have wonderful class officers, b'autiful class colors, and everything befitting such important nersonages as this A9 class contains. When we get to senior high school, we intend to show them what kind of material McKinley 'urns out. We are truly sorry to leave McKinley, our school that has meant so much to us. and Fore so much for us. We hope to repay the teachers for their efforts in our behalf, by making the most of the foundation they have given us. And now, though it grieves us, dear McKinley, we must say adieu.-Margaret Thomas.
