Seventh Grade The Seventh grade has good taste. lVe have for our class colors old rose and silver, and for flowers we have the American Beauty rose. VVe have elected for our officers of the Seventh grade, Muriel Blakely, president, Hope Anson, vice-president, and Mary Alice Powell, secretary and treasurer. We haven 't had as much practice dodging the demerit list as the Seniors, i but we certainly do not intend to become as familiar with it as they have during the last six years. l l Umm hmm XM hmm Emi EUR mum:-.

H mmwvrs if Class of '31 The Class of '31 is a large one and nearly all of us are veterans of eight years in the Schools of l'c-ncllc-ton. and this training is reflected the excel- lence of the work we are now doing. As a class, we are proud of our accom- plishments, and We always strive to keep our standing high both in the class room and in athletics. Our scholastic standing is very high and many of our classmates are honor students. Our slogan in school is work, but outside, our slogan is play, Mr. Ellsworth thinks that our desire for play has outweighed our desire for work since he found that our playing in front of the school-house was wearing out the greensward, While our desks were standing up Very well under the strain of our cliligent study. The boys of our Class have shown much ability in basketball and the High School can expect a great influx of basketball men when our class enters High School next fall. i The School comedians in the persons of Happy Rumler, Beany Rogers, and David Arnold are to be found in our class. We are for Pendleton High School, first, last and always, and our future efforts will all be bent toward furthering the glory of our School. gysfq,-r's,,VW1v Wwvfw ig ZA M i A N t VA GH TXY ICN'l'Y-FIV IC

Q2 Tl 72 EYMQ? As Told by a Senior I sing of boys and girls, the Junior High being the first classes in whose praises I lift up my voice. The seventh and eighth grades are quite a motley crew. They have not weathered as many exams as the more sophisticated upper classmen and are young in the ways of P. H. S. as yet. Most of them may be regarded as diamonds in the rough, still in their salad days, so to speak. We notice a few who bid fair to become prominent future leaders in these halls of learning and one or two promising basketball satellites. Now our Freshmen are an entirely different problem. They are an unusually fine bunch of pupils, as Freshmen go. There are at least three boys who seem to have a bright future to look forward to in basketball. This class boasts of several talented musicians and a few who have a scholastic turn of mind. Imagine that for a Freshman class! But then you know, gentle reader, Peindleton's Freshmen are not like those in all other schools. This next class always reminds one of the children in a large family, neither the youngest nor oldest. This Sophomore class, neither the youngest nor oldest, wisest nor other wisest, has little to distinguish it from every other class, but it is a necessary evil. However, they have in their ranks the third assistant yell leader and several budding artists. But don't you cry little Sophs, some day fwho knowsb, maybe you will be noble Seniors, and then you will be distinguished. CAsk the man who is one.j The Pendleton High will have to fall back on the Juniors for material for the team next year. This is a rather nice class for all they are a little crude and still quite timid about asserting themselves, not at all like last year's Junior class, Cbear witness to the crowning jewel in our diadem of glory-our banquetj. The Juniors may snap out of it in time to satiate our ravenous appetite at the Claypool this spring. They are noted for their handsome inamoratas and two girls who carried the School banner to Muncie in the district Latin contest. We hope that when you reach your maturity and become Seniors you will be able to fill our place as competently as we did. Last in this article but first in the hearts of their countrymen, are the Seniors. The glorious illustrious Seniors! Volumes could be written on us and still not do us justice. We have always been known as the class with originality plus and we have done everything We know of to live up to our reputation, even to the point of being almost expelled. Last year we had THE banquet. We spent our money lavishly and our attitude was eat, drink and be merry for tomorrow we may die. We all had a wonderful time and do not regret it a bit, in fact we are so proud of our remarkable achievement we remind others of it continuously. But mere words can not laud us enough so why try? Now we have come to the close of our high school life and we are leaving this building with many sighs and regrets. Our mantle of dignity falls on the shoulders of the next Senior class. Think kindly of us, schoolmates, try to remember only our good points and may your days in old P. H. S. be as happy and care-free as ours. ' 1 i 1 W t WM PAGE TYVENTY-S ICY FIN
