JHMHhNAZARET h t % Senior Class History —c— T N the fall of the year 1027. there were a hundred seekers of knowledge traveling over the wide pathway and through the gate to High School. Some came from this town of Nazareth; others came from outlying districts. All of us were un- accustomed to the place, hut we were imbued with the spirit to act. The path became narrower and the work became harder. Some were lost by the wayside, due to various causes. In our Sophomore year we again continued our course, the goal being Know- ledge. We enlivened the year with a Hallowe’en party, which was only a beginn- ing of the good times coming. On January 25, 1929, a member of our class, Ralph Rohn, who gave fair promise to pass with us through the gateway of graduation, was taken from us by death. I le was a good student and a true friend. Our third year was the scene of harder tasks and more social affairs. In December we entertained the Seniors at a reception, as a mark of esteem and good fellowship and to uphold old customs. This year the class purchased rings of onyx and gold. Our Senior year was the crowning year of our achievement. Though we had many hard tasks, all was not work. The first social event was a Hallowe’en party in the gym of the Whitfield building. In March, the Juniors entertained us at a pleasant party. Many of our class attended, and all seemed to enjoy themselves thoroughly. We published our year book, the Comet”, which we have endeavored to make a success. This was made possible with the cooperation of the members of the class of 31”, the students of Senior High and Junior High, and the friends of our class. We wish to express our hearty appreciation to all who helped the cause along. For four years we have sojourned in this land of learning. Now each must go in a separate way to lands of which we know nothing. Even though we. the class of 1931. pass through the narrow portals of graduation and our class be scat- tered. our history shall not end. For whatever we may nobly say. or do, we shall with pride and honor add to the annals of this class. Marion Kern. Historian TVI93I 11 tt [ 21 ]
