SENIOR HIISTURY VVe pause, and look back four years to the time when our Senior Class was setting sail for a four years' voyage through high school. Although we have experienced storms and sometimes sailed through troubled waters, our journey has, for the most part, been a pleasant one. Most of the storms came during our inexperienced freshman and sophomore years, during which we had not yet accustomed ourselves to the rules of travel which are essentials to part of every educational journey, Aside from the accomplishment of our daily tasks, these years were uneventful. Wie had not yet reached a place where we began to count as first class pas- sengers on the steamer carrying us over the river of high school days. As juniors and seniors we glided through comparatively calm waters with Conrad Miller as first mate during the junior year, and Jimmy john- son, the leader of the senior year. Our ship was especially attractive at the time of our Junior Balloon Dance. The guests were many and in the words of the proverbial reporter a splendid time was had by all . That the event was a financial success goes without saying, for was it not with the money thus earned that enabled us to give the Class of '35 , an elaborate Prom which was very attractive when the decorations were strictly nautical and everything in true shipshape. During shore leave at Easter many of the seniors took a little time off to think back through the past year. They surely remembered The Royal Family , a play given by the class on December sixth, the many pleasant Saturday afternoons they had spent at the football games, and the enjoyable basketball games played after the Christmas holidays, which were always looked upon as a big event in the scholastic year, even if pupils did ring confounded cowbells , and, last but not least, the pleasant hours spent dur- ing school hours. After the final exams, we feel as though our small steamer has prac- tically reached the ocean, where we will leave behind the river-boat and em- bark on an altogether new episode of life, a new liner which will carry us out to sea. On the last night, the captain gave a farewell party, which was a grand affair, And with this thought, as we set sail, we wach the steamer slowly re-- turning for another group, and thus this, crew of '37'l, we wish a Bon Voyage , and hope that they may have just as enjoyable a trip on their river-boat as did the Class of '36.
