After entertaining their friends and relatives for an hour and a half with their Commencement exercises, the class held their First party as high school students. This party was held in the gymnasium and was a great success. fear. Al- At the beginning of the next year we advanced upon the high school with though we had always looked forward to being there, now that the time had come, we were not so sure of ourselves. Our fears were ungrounded, however,.because only a few mis- takes were made and the teachers were not the ogres that we had pictured them to be. During this year two parties were held. The only big thing that occurred this year was a terrible inter-class fight. This was held during the last week of school and lasted for three days. In this battle the Seniors were opposed to the combined forces of the two underclasses. The iight was won by the underclassmen fwith the help of the Sophomores of coursej The generalship on both sides was fine and the forces were moved about like armies. This was the last fight because of injuries to some of the participants. After our all-too-short vacation, we returned for our junior year with enthusiasm so strong that it burned itself out in a few days. We were experienced by a former year's work, however, and it did not take us long to settle down to a more or less hard struggle. About the middle of the school year we met to select our class rings, which are the prettiest and most appropriate rings that have ever been purchased. VVe returned for our last year as dignified Seniors, surveying the underclassmen with lofty contempt. This year everyone entered into the work with an unprecedented zeal, because we realized that much hard work was before us, if we desired to have our diplomas at the end. Many class meetings were held this year to decide on our plans for graduation night. These meetings were conducted in a very satisfactory manner by President Richard Mer- cer. We decided to have a banquet before the graduation exercise, and after this to have our Senior Prom. These three years spent in High School have been very pleasant ones, and our rela- tion with the instructors have, on the whole, been of the best, and it is with mingled feel- ings of sorrow and joy that we must leave this noble hall of learning, To the future achievements of the Classof'30.
