SENICR CLASS .HISTORY-Concluded juniors! At last! What a world of memories lie behind that word! The class of many events! Because of the genuine liking we all held for Miss Diehl, we re' elected her as our sponsor, putting upon her shoulders the care and responsibility that would naturally come with a Junior class. Besides the usual round of class par' ties, a new event was added that year-the Junior class play, 'ijust Cut of College , which was so efficiently directed by Mrs. Hahn. We can never forget the play, how closely the class was brought together during the practices! Then, last but not least, there was that event that all Juniors, look forward to with much eagerness--the juniorfSenior Banquet! The Juniors were united in their efforts to make this event a big success, all the talent-, time, and work that could ever be found was centered on this one affair until it reached completion. The result of our hard labor was a beautiful ship. So with a wave of the hand we sailed away on the good ship Junior to the new and unexplored land of Senior . The last round of the ladder! just a few more days, and we will have reached that goal towards which we have been working-the diploma! What a happy, eventf ful year this has been! Berta Carter, our classmate since grade school days, wanted to begin an early career, so she married. Then there were the Weiner roasts, and parties. Being a very energetic group we decided to publish the first Annual of C. T. H. S. In order to make this possible we sponsored the neverftofbefforgotten Circus, and the operetta, Tulip Time . Mrs. Hahn directed our class play The Road to Yesterdayff. Senior Day and Class Day will not be forgotten. The backbone of all these events has been our friends, as well as sponsors, Miss Diehl and Mr. Sweat. And now, as the end draws near, we start reminiscing, and we aren't so glad at the thought of leaving as we had thought we might be. Instead, it is with a lump in our throat and a tear in our eye, that we, -the Class of '31, say Dear Qld O. T. H. S. Farewell . -ALICE MAUDE COOPER, '31. I A Page Twenty-three
