McMinnville, Oregon 27 Seniors Every member of the Senior class will remember this, the last year of his or her high school work—and play. We have contributed greatly to every phase of our high school’s life and although for a while some of the lower classmen ranted us for not making more noise, we have been busy all the while and now every one looks with pride to this year’s senior class. It is nice to know that they could not have gotten along without us. At a meeting last Spring, our class elected its officers for this year— Wayne Shrock, President; Max Nayberger, Vice-President; Elsie Duerst, Secretary-Treasurer, and Pebble Brixey, Sergeant-at-Arms. Each of these officers has performed his duties well and we have had many lively meetings—for a Senior’s life is a busy one. The calling out of the Q. N. G., which affected our whole school so much, made a great hole in our class. Our boys responded splendidly, every one who could possibly go joining Company A. We have had a large part in athletics both on the field and in managerships. I he football team without its Senior players would have ceased to be a football team and what could have been done in basketball without Capt. Martin, Eck, Grob and Ernie? Three of the four debaters representing old Lincoln High were Seniors and Earl Norgard and Ernie Arthur as the first editor and manager of the Lincolnian News, put that paper on its feet. Of course, the officers of the A. S. B. are from the Senior class and many things of importance have been done in the Student Body meetings this year. And so we might go on to tell of the “doings” of the Seniors especially in the play where Margaret Hamblin and Ronald Lewis each scored such a hit. But although we have been so busy, we had a fine party some time before the boys left which will be remembered by all who were present and a few others, too. Professor Oberteuffer has been our class advisor and has helped us decide many times. Soon after Christmas we received our pins and rings and in a little while every Senior boasted one or the other. It has been said that you can distinguish a Senior boy by his pin and his mustache and a Senior giri bv her disregard for rules and both, of course, by the dignified way in which they fill their honorable positions. Several of the boys, principally Verne Fudge, Baylis Fanning, Harry Nunn, and hill Swift, have been tireless in their efforts to get the ciass to order some hair tonic. And they’re not bald, either! We all love our old Alma Mater and will think again of our high school days, many times. And we wish her all joy and prosperity for many a long year to come. —A Senior.
