Senior l-listory TAND by! The valiant warriors are recounting their daring tales of battle during the past three years on the battle field of P. H. S. The shields we refer to are the ones used by the grim-faced old Viking warriors. The practice of marking their shields whenever they performed a great deed was used by many of the feudal tribes and nations. Say, said one old warrior, do you remember at the beginning of the fray how bright and green our armours were? Our shields were bright and shiny and absolutely unmarked. Now, they have many marks on them, and they have lost that new bright green Color. They are worn, but this condition results from honorable wear of battles well fought. Yes, answered another, and do you remember how they christened us 'sophs'? And how they looked down on us, calling us peppy but harmless?': Do you remember our first fray? asked the former, Remember that season ticket drive? We certainly did defeat those older warriors that day. That was our first mark of victory. At the end of that year our group numbered l69 storng. Not many had dropped out, and a few new ones had joined. Wasn't Chief Beals proud though? Do you remember our only defeat in the season ticket drives? That was in our junior year. We lost only by the percentage plan, but it made us determined not to lose again. And, brothers, that peace conference! Held in the Elks temple, it was the most gorgeous thing of the year-daffodils waving, and Dutch girls swaying! What a picture! Dancing and card playing were offered for recreation. For peace toasts we drank punch. Crowell Beals was our chief that year also. Yes, and an able leader! By his good leadership and the cooperation of the warriors, we added more of distinction scars to our shields, and were a few steps nearer our final goal. At last, we had earned the right to be called Seniors, said the latter. The yearly season ticket fray certainly found us well-armed that year. We were deter- mined not to be beaten. And was that a royal battle! The defeat of the other tribes twice in three times was an unheard of thing, and we were called 'champions'. For that we had our shields blazonedf' The second speaker smiled whimsically, then began: That was rather a tough battle with the depression we had. l thought for a while that we wouldn't have an annual. But we couldn't be stopped by even so formidable a foe. Those dauntless warriors cooperated to make an annualf' Yes, said the first, many warriors turned out for the great Minstrel. Those finally chosen for endmen were: Ernest Fitzsimmons, lack Schonborn, joe johnson, Fred Gamble, Lawrence Glaser, and Cleon Loehrke. Crowell Beals was interlocutor. Fifteen of our girls represented Persian women and sang Oriental songs. And that inter-tribal basketball meet! Did we defeat those juniors? Both our girls and boys played so well, that we added another win, thus adding to our shields! Now, we have won our goal. Our armours are quite worn. But, oh, how gloriously those shields shine forth! Looking at the faces around us we notice a difference. These braves are wiser now, more studious, and thoughtful. Our new chief, Ellis Whitman, has been a remarkable leader. We have finished our land journey. We are now ready to embark on our good ship 'The Viking' and sail into the future to conquer new fields. All aboard! is heard by the two grim warriors. I guess we had better board the ship, said the first. Stand by! The good ship with flying banners with its valiant warriors aboard is slowly leaving port, sailing toward the unknown future. twenty-eight
