SENIOR CLASS HISTORY As our ship comes into port in our graduating year, we would like to look back on our voyage and remember some of the good times we had together. It seems so long ago we look back to the fall of October. 1931 when we. as freshmen, entered State School as students in Agriculture and Home Economics. After the first half term and the true freshmen remained we found we had the following officers: Gilbert White, president; Robert Miller, vice-president; Clifford Bunting, treasurer; and Edward Hampton, secretary. Something this class should be remembered for is the fact that they donated the balance of their treasury to the student loan fund In the fall of 1932 we arrived at State School under the title of Juniors. The class was organized with the following leaders: Robert Miller, president; George Stevens, vice-president; Edward Hampton, secretary; jerold Heath, treasurer; student council members. Gilbert White. Clifford bunting, and Donald Tillapaugh. Who of that class will ever forget the memorable night we spent at the Bear Gulch on a overnight skating party, a night of terror and fun The class was organized with Robert Miller, president. Gilbert White, vice-president; Ruth Baucus. secretary; Alfred Williams, treasurer; and Mr. Moot, faculty advisor, for the spring semester. We gave a party in February, which was enjoyed by all. In the month of April we broke up to work on farms. In the fall of our senior year Robert Miller was elected president; Ruth Baucus. vice-president; Bernarde Sauter. secretary; Alfred Williams, treasurer; and Mr. E. Hewes our faculty advisor. A party was given on a Thursday night in December to which the entire school was invited The last half of the senior year Robert Miller was president; Ruth Baucus. vice-president; Louise Kline, secretary; Percy Thompson, treasurer. The class produced as their senior play “Memory LaneThis was given on April 13th. During the school year the senior class sponsored many dances, many of these were held after the basketball games. A.

Still further I gaze into the crystal and whom do I see but Lillian Pearson, known as Blondie.” now busily caring for some of the members of the Broken Heart Club” of State School. Next we see a couple of State School’s most popular students. Sarah and “Bernie,” now featuring on the stage. Cow College Romance. Mabel Robinson, the girl who always went back, has just finished her course of Home Economics abroad. Robia has retired from Nursing and has sailed on the ocean liner. N. Y. S S. A. to join Gilbert White in Russia. Pete Hampton, our dashing young Romeo, has at last found another “center of interest.” He is now busy experimenting on crossing apples with nuts to take the place of apple seeds. We understand Carl Dykcman is assisting him. We next see a large billboard with the following advertisement: For Sale, Purebred Brown Swiss Cattle and Honey. Donald Tillapaugh and Sons, owners. We understand Don has gone into farming in a big way. Carl Levey has finally given up the idea of farming and gone in for bigger money. Carl and Leon Abrahamson are now seen on the stage featuring one of the greatest hits of the time; “Mutt and jeff in the “Comedians of 54.’ Now as we look farther North at Bull Hill we see George jakeway and his faithful companion. Mussey. busy hoeing corn. The brilliant bracelet he wore at State School still adorns his wrist. George Stevens has long since taken over the Mechanics Department at State School. We see him busy trying to teach Leo Gageways youngest son how to drive tractors as his father did. What do we see flashing by but a combination airship with milk carriers rattling. This is none other than Jerry” Heath. State School’s woman hater, on his way to deliver milk. Whom do wc see next but Norman Axenson, editor of the “Poultry Journal, speaking before an audience at Farm and Home Week at State School. “Bill Borst also has a son attending State School to receive knowledge like his daddy use to. He goes by the name of William J. Borst, Jr. and can say Mr. Hcwcs like the old man use to. We wonder if certain chromosomes caused this? Just a minute, the crystal shows us a couple other of State School students, happily settled on a farm in the North Country.” Yes! you’re right, it’s Ruth and Tommy . How realistic are the changing scenes! How clear the vision! How life-like and familiar the figures. This was a dream I had a few years ago in which I dreamt of the future of the ’34 class. 11 seemed very strange to me then and seems even stranger to me now since all the wonderful visions in the dream have come true.
