The Roundup 19 3 4 SENIOR CLASS HISTORY On September 2, 1930, approximately eighty of us paused timidly at the door of the high school. Obviously “green” and inexperienced as we were, we successfully went through the motions of whitewashing the “R.” We also survived the other trials with which we were burdened. Although the means were to be wondered at, somehow we maneuvered through the year with only minor casualties. As Sophomores we impo.sed the “best” initiation we could think of upon the Freshies. Long since had we forgot our fervent vows, as the poor underdog, that we would be more gentle than our persecutors had been. On September 7, Marion O’Donnell, a member of our class, was killed in an automobile accident. At Hallowe’en we were hosts to the other classes at a carnival dance, and we presented a program for assembly. On October 15, 1931, we organized a Latin Club, the Societas Latina, with nineteen charter members. And, oh yes, we paid for our whitewash, which we used to freshen the “R” with during our initiation as freshmen. During our so’ourn as Juniors we accomplished many things. Our “Follies” packed the auditorium to overflowing, and our Prom was acclaimed one of the best. One of our own class members wrote the dialogue and planned much of the Follies. The banquet was held in the Masonic Temple. The motif of the decorations, carried out in black and orange, the Senior class colors, was taken from the Indians—tepees for programs, canoes and wigwams for table decorations, and colored feathers for placecards. Kirk Miller was toastmaster. Both Seniors and Juniors were called upon for entertainment. The auditorium was decorated in green and white, our class colors. The effect was that of spring. We established a noteworthy precedent when, for the first time in history, a girl of our class, Jamie Dixon, was elected president of the student body. Also, a girl, Ellen Pace, was elected editor-in-chief of the “Exhaust” and “Roundup.” We were champions of the inter-class basketball tournament. We sold Outlaw tire covers to raise money for the Exhaust, and we sponsored a show. Both enterprises were quite successful. A charter for the National Honor Society was secured and ten members of our class have been chosen. “Dippy Dot,” a scandal column, was one of our popular contributions to the Exhaust. We also conducted a questionnaire, which furnished amusement for all high school students. Our Senior Ball was the crown of all social events previous to the annual Junior Prom. Lovely decorations, confetti, serpentine, balloons, and prize dances added to the enjoyment. The class play, “Skidding,” was a successful presentation. We dedicated our annual to the N. R. A. because it seems to be the outstanding event of the year and its effects will last for some time to come. Thus, our yearbook will be an expression of a factor of national importance, and will continue to have a real meaning in the future. We have learned little, and forgot more than we learned, but we have become better fitted to work as a unit in accomplishing our aims than we were four years ago. We undoubtedly have less dignity, but we have gained self-assurance. We thank our sponsor, Miss Flynn, for the time and effort spent in our behalf, and we extend to her our most sincere best wishes for the future.—Jean Hill.
