THE COMET ‘a NINETEEN THIRTY Senior Class Diary E, the Class of Nineteen Hundred and Thirty, have been raveled for four years, and now we are ready to sleep. But It SAL4 before oblivion overtakes us we shall again review our un- se usual achievements. In 1926 we began to master the untried field of high school. By Miss Mann’s constant and individual work with us we laid a solid foundation, and the next year we entered our Sophomore Class. The same year Mr. Kling came to P. M. Hi and was our home- reom teacher. Asa football coach, teacher, and friend we found him to be the very best. The next year he followed us as we joyously crowded into the Junior room. It was this year that our class proved itself to be one that enjoys the lighter as well as the heavier side of life. This was shown ” in our class play, “Cyclone Sally,” the high scheol minstrel, and the ball games. Our success in all these is due to none other than our ver- satile teacher. December 1—To the sorrow of us all, Joe Graybill accidentally shot himself while hunting. We shall always remember him as one of our best-loved companions. At the Junicr-Senior Banquet we separated for a long vacation. September 13, 1929——We are all back, and dignified(?) Seniors. Mr. Kling is with us again. In our play, “Creepy Crest,” our dramatic ability was shown. In March a great vacancy was left in our school as Mr. Bagby left. But soon Mr. Miller was here to carry on the work. May—Junior-Senior play, “Cinderella O'Reilly.” Hard work followed, but the majority of us were successful. And now we are ready to go out in search of harder and larger tasks. 20
