At the beginning of our senior year we chose our officers. They were: Marian Hassen ......................... President Lois Hartell.......................Vice-President Lillian Pinkelman ..................... Secretary Rose Mary Rush................. Treasurer Class Colors..................... Rose and Silver Class Flower. ,...............American Beauty Rose Class Motto . Never Finished, Just Begun. We seniors sponsored a Halloween party the last of October where we danced and then had potato chips and pop as refreshments. Representatives of Livingston and Northland Studios came to the school in the fall to show us what they had to offer. We chose Liv- ingston and decided that October 17 was the date on which we would all me� t to pose for the cameraman. During the last of November the senior class was in a dither. Why? Well, tjhat wes the day the final results arrived and many different comments were passed. For Christmas, we had a party in the English Room. Ice Cream, cookies and pop were the refreshments served, presents were exchanged, and everyone thoroughly enjoyed himself. The play, Pickles Becomes A Lady, was chosen in March and prac- tice started immediately. It was given on April 2 and a good perform- ance was staged for a large audience Discussion among the seniors ran high in March because we were picking out our announcements. We decided on pure white ones with gold writing. It was decided not to have the names of the class in them. In April we were measured for our caps and gowns. Blue was de- cided upon for the color with a red and white tassel on the cap. HERE COMES THE NAVY Richard Wells, better known to us as Dick, is in the Navy atpunt Lakes Naval Training Station In Chicago. The Senior Class wishes could have stayed with them until school was out, but he has gone to help fight for our country. Dick writes to many of his friends and says, to receive a letter from home is better than a meal. We hope Dick’can be with his class for graduation. CL AS HISTORY As most of our fighting boys were inducted into the service of our country so was our Senior Class. Our induction notices that we received commanded us to report to our Local Board in September 1931. f0 became members of the Metamora School Army at Camp M. H. S. We b( ,n our basic training in the first grade as Buck Privates.' Those wh 0 reported and remained in Camp M. H. S. through the time they were first inducted as Privates until they were promoted to the rank of ''' olonels of the Senior Class are Curly Dark Haired Marilyn DeVerna, Pretty Lois Hartell, Talkative Prances Stasa, Tall Alan Benfer, Quiet Jerry Mohr, Mischievous Joo Wayne Olman, and Handsome Charles Shaffer. Many times while going through our training and drilling we were on K. P. Duty. Tiny Alice Zenk and Schoolastlc Marian Hassen were also inducted with us, but were transferred after they were promoted to Staff Sergeants of the Fifth Grade. In our second year Smiling Marguerite Witt became a Private 1st Class with us, but later was transferred to Camp Assumption. Husky Calvin Tietz joined our regiment as Sergeant of the Fourth Grade and remained with us all through the rest of our promotions. Also Jerry Koman, Charles Stasa, and Julius VanCoppenole entered our conmany as Sergeants, but were released after they had acquired their Major promotions. While we were training hard two Singing Nightingales, cute Sarah Garcia and Happy Rose Mary Rush, entered our branch of service as Staff Sergeants. Blonde Marian Keith and Dashing Gerald Stutzman were transferred to our camp as 1st Sergeants of the Sixth Grade. They continued to receive their promotions with us. Laughing Betty Jean Irwin, Alice Zenk, and Marian Hassen entered as 2nd Lieutenants of the Junior High along with Popular Dick Wells and Alberta Netcher. We lost Betty just before she became a Captain. After gaining our ranks of 1st Lieutenants, we were assigned as Captains of the Freshman Class. Our platoon increased in number with Dimpled Phyllis Baker, Bashful Mary Cambal, Quiet Virginia Dickerson, Lillian Pinkleman, Helen Downer, Marvin Fike, Donald and LeRoy Miller� and Calvin Knight. We must add that the Colonels of that yoar put us through a rigid test to 360 if we wore fit for the rank. It seems we passed, for wo wore next promoted to '‘Majors. was then Potite Myra Jane Roister, Luva i ddleman, and Blue-eyed Dorothy Ford were transferred from another Fort and carao to Camp M. H, S. As we received our rank os Lieutenant Colonel, Little Bridget Jillen, Gerald Simon, Marguerite Witt, and Betty Joan Irwin were transferred to our staff to help carry out our duties. It was that year we lost Alice Zenk who was promoted to Colonel during the midd3o of the year so she left us for another camp. Continued on next page During the lest year of our days at Camp M. H. S. we were pro- moted to Colonels. Dick Wells left us in the beginning of th second semester end joined another branch of the Service, the Navy jf the U. S.

SIGNED WITNESSES of hair pins, them to their PICKLES BECIMS fl LflDy The story took place at Miss Nibble's school for girls. It was spun around Pickles”, Bridget Gillen, a young student of the school, who thinks boy friends are just for sissies. She gets romantic ideas about a stranded aviator, Gerald Stutzman, whose plane crashed on the lawn of the school. However the aviator falls in love with Miss Martin, Lillian Finkelman, a young attractive school teacher. Miss Dibble, Marian Hassen, was against the aviator's staying there at the school, but a call from Washington, D. C. changed her raird. Two spies, Charles Shaffer and Joe Olman, came to the school and took some important documents from the aviator, for which they were soon captured by Pickles and the janitor of the school, Mr. Burleigh, Calvin Knight. Glory was won by Pickles, but she changed her mind about being tom boy and becomes a lady. The characters were: Pickles, Bridget Gillen; Mr. Burleigh, Calvin Knight; Helen Martin, Lillian Pinkelman; Lieut. Tony Hamilton, Gerald. Stutzman; Mag, Helen Downer: Sgt. Blimp Reed, Jerry Mohr; Mis: Dibble, Marian Hassen; Lillian Haller, Dorothy Ford; Myra, Virginia )ickerson; Pee Wee, Marilyn DeVerna; Hattie, Alberta Netcher; Flo, i rah Garcia; Duke, Charles- Shaffer; Fete, Joe Wayne Olman.
