Senior Class History CLASS OFFICERS President ............. Vice President ........ Secretary-Treasurer .... Loyalty Representative Class Advisor ......... Lawrence Hickey Robert Banks ...Fabyan Wright .....Helen Tracy ...... Miss Hart Class Motto: Let them have their past: we have our future Class Colors: Blue and Gold Class Flower: Yellow Rose Four years ago on September Second. 1930, under the leadership of our advisor, Miss Bliss, we. as Freshmen, were launched upon our career as students of the Reedsburg High School. The first development of our social complex began on September nineteenth at the all school mixer where we were crowned with the mighty caps of green. Along with the social life we endured nine long months of English. Algebra, Biology, and Latin, so that finally we gained the name of Sophomores. Encouraged by this title we worked and strived in order that we might live up to the name. We did very well under the guidance of Miss Bechtolt, for when the Loyalty Trophy was awarded we found that we had lost by only one-fourth of a point, thereby earning second place. After three months of vacation we came back to start a memorable year for us. As you might already have guessed it was our Junior year. Fortune seemed to be working with us for everything that we attempted to do was successful. We succeeded in securing our class rings in the class colors, blue and gold. The Prom was one of those projects that we undertook with the help of Miss Wendtland that year. For our principal colors we used blue and primrose yellow and used as our theme of decoration the Dutch garden. Fortune again lent a hand to us and made it possible for us to secure an orchestra of eleven pieces, that of Tom Temple’s. To end this successful year we succeeded in capturing the Loyalty Trophy; it was the first year that we were able to do this. Time kept up her steady pace and we soon found ourselves beginning our last year as students of the Reedsburg High School. It was under the able leadership of Miss Hickey that our class play was a success. And we are indeed grateful to Miss Hart for all the help that she has given us as our advisor. We. now as graduating Seniors, begin to realize what all the four years of studying was meant for. As a group, we Seniors, wish to thank all those who helped to make our High School career an eventful and successful one.

cm E “C. ID. A O you “C. W. A. How you haunt us night and day! In our dreams at night You fill us with such fright. Where we should see flowers bloom, We see nothing but your brush and broom: And instead of perfume fair Rise peculiar odors, O, so rare! As we ramble down the hall Your crazy wires sure enthrall; And your ladders here and there Are the cause of many a night-marc; When we approach a stairs We find a sign that stares: It would be hard to find the way Even in the natural light of day; Your many scaffolds so broad and high Seem almost to reach the sky; And the cherubs climbing up and down Seem, in our dreams, like circus clowns. But after the horrors of the night We greet and hail you with delight: For when you come to school each day You’re worth much more than we could pay; You bring just lots of extra joys To all us doleful girls and boys; Without you there would be no passes Nor any need for tardy classes; There would be no frequent lack of bells That hourly sound like funeral knells; There would never be a change of classroom Giving a moment’s release from our doom; There would be no constant noise and din That make the teacher s voice grow dim; There would no closed stairways be That make it easy and plain to see The long way is the only way Tho sometimes it does not pay! The strange attractions in the hall Make even the best of teachers stall You give us all kinds of excuses And save us from getting the duces”. Yes, life would indeed be dull and gray If there were no C. W- A.” And so, to you, the ”C. W. A. Blessings on thee, again we say! [24]
