ALLEGAROOTER 069 SENIOR CLASS HISTORY OW as June is fast approaching, we ind ourselves looking for' ward to leaving our High School with reluctant feeling. Our undergraduate days are fast drawing to a close. The class of 1930-as even its enemies would admit--has made a cred' itable showing in standings. . - During our Freshman and Sophomore years we supported everything with zest. Not until we were juniors, however, did the bud of our genius begin truly to unfold. We began by electing Ethan Allen, President, Elinor Evans, VicefPresidentg George Lang, to hoard our dimes, and Peg Opdyke, to do the scribbling. Our irst big event was the Junior Play, Daddy Longlegsf' No play up to this writing has gone across as that one did. There was just one misunderstanding. Herman Frahme thought his part w.as to advertise Simmon's Mattresses. This class was represented by the best athletes in every sport in the school and we were also the school champions in basketball. Any one of the Class of 1929 must admit that our Junior Reception was a success. After this came the making of the daisy chain. 'We have proved our worth, and while as Seniors there has been no chance to rest on our oars, our class life has settled into a more steady and quiet stream. We had hardly started in our last year when our spirit was dampened by the tragic deaths of Ethan Allen and Kenneth Hedeman. This tragedy cast a shadow over the entire class. Russell Post took the chair and with .able assistants has carried out a most glorious year. Elinor Evans served as VicefPresident. Letters were received and written by Peg Opdyke and a careful watch was kept over our pecuniary belongings by George Lang. We have all missed Russell during his illness .and have hoped to see him back each week. With the first touch of class loyalty we turned out to see our play, The Prince Chap. On April third, we had a class party at River View Tea Room. We all had a great time and Lefty Miller deserves .a gold medal for putting it across so splendidly. On May ninth, we were royally entertained by the Juniors and enjoyed tripping the light fantastic. Next comes the coveted Washington trip on May twentyfsecond, then June,-Class Day and Commencement A year hence and the Class o'f 1930 will be scattered foreverg the memories of student days may be forgotten in the world of affairs. Thus the light is dimmed, the book is closed in Senior Year. MARY HENDERSHOTT '30, 27
