Witnesses: Juniors Sophomores SENIOR CLASS QF 1927. Freshmen Senior Class Poem fWith apologies to Kiplingj When high school's last lesson is learned And the ink .is faded and dried, When the newest books have grown ancient And the youngest teachers have died, W We shall rest, and faith, we shall need it, And we'll have a good time or two Till Life, in its various phases, Shall set us to working anew. And then shall we find that the lessons We studied have not been in vain. We shall mount with endless succession The steppingfstone leading to fame. From the height of our mountains our thoughts Shall ever return to these years That set our feet onward and upward To victory o'r Life's storms and fears. Katherine Root. 'l Cl ,ei

Twenty-Eight TH E M E D 1 N 1 A N Class Ioker-Donna Pelton Being one of the biggest jokes in the class I was asked to write this great genius of literature. Signing my name would have been nearly enough, but it was supposed to occupy a little more room than that. In our class we have a number of graceful people, mentioning no names, and some not so graceful. Marian Bagley expects to get a gold medal for jumping hurdles? Speaking of beautiful names, did you look over the list in the Senior Room? Ask Jack Gordon Catman for further information, he has them all memorized. As I was crossing the street the other night I saw the cop stop Chick Fulton .and Phyllis McNeal. Being quite near I lent my ear to the conversation. The cop said: Say there buddy, why don't you use both hands? Fulton replied: I have to use one to drive with. The next day in music class John Beck asked Bob Close what the Barber of Saville was and he said that it was a close shave. Another bright Senior Music Student wrote this on a music test paper: Bach seQdom went out in society, and when he did he never dressed. While walking through the hall I overhead Miss Phillips ask Gerard Ellis what he: intended to do this summer. Ellis said that he was going to be a diamond cutter. You don't mean it? said Miss Phillips. Yes, I'm going to see Charlie about getting a job cutting the grass off the base' balll grounds. In chemistry class Mr. Gray asked Carl Roth how iron was first discovered and Carl said that they smelt it. Miss Guthery in French Class: Chuck, how much time did you spend on your French? Chuck Nettleton: All night. M. Guthery: How's that? Chuck: I put it under my pillow. Among the many friendships formed in the senior class in time of peace and wif are Harold Rogers, Fanchion Carter and the Flint Roadster every morning, n n and night. In the senior class we happened to have two students with the same beautiful n e of Marion. They both do not have the same last name now, however, but as adrimdents will happen they might both be Yost later. If there is any prospective Freshman who would like to take cello lessons, they w uld find a real teacher and musician in Day Chase. He entertained the music cl ss the other day until Mr. Conkle strolled in and then Day forgot the rest of the co position he was playing. L 1
