TH E CIZATEII, 'l93l ' 1 Ralph Thomas Oliver Hughes John Reddy Melva Parrett Wayne May Senior Glass Progress, tumultous and volcanic at times, occasionally staid and reserved, but al-- ways evident, has marked the existence of the class of '31 since its first timid steps upon the sands of a new Medford high school. The present class arrived on the horizon just as the school was undergoing a change from knee breeches to long trousers and the fluctuating events of the past four years are no doubt results of being about in the growing-up period of an educa- tional institution. Taking up their high school duties just as Medford was moving into the present school, the class of '31 in customary greenness proceeded to launch upon an active career which has its culmination when Commencement ushers them into the ranks of the alumni and throws open to their successors the same role played so ably by them, the task of fitting into a new and broader school life and the creation of a greater' Medford high school. Settling complacently into school existence with a nominal number of activities dotted over the years, the present seniors were a bit perturbed as they noted the in- crease in numbers of the class as they progressed which finally made the building of a new school necessary. With the fading of scholastic endeavors into the maze of routine school life of the past, only occasional events chain together that band in the memory chain of a depart'- ing upperclassman. Halycon days of initiation, committees, the first big game, stand out with poign- ancy not overshadowed by passing memories of proms, receptions, and finally the im- pressiveness of graduation. All memories woven into the schooldays' existence which the yearbook records. After a varied career the class of '31, now seniors with a dignity befitting such a position, chose their officers to guide them through their final year as Medford stu- dents. Throughout their four years industrious and capable they again demonstrated ability to dispense with each arising activity with complete satisfaction. Consistent winners in the interclass athletics and leaders in scholastic endeavor and forensics, this class throughout its existence contributed some of its best talent to form the nu- cleus of many a representative Medford team. Some outstanding dramatic perform- ances Were presented by the class as Well as entertainments such as dances and carnivals. The feature of the final year with its succession of events was the class picnic Baccalaureate and farewell days climaxed the successful progress of the senior class with a completeness which needs no eulogies. 21
