. ..,, ,,.. :, A JUNE PRESIDENT'S ADDRESS USOLDIERS, forty centuries are looking down upon you from these pyramids. These were Napoleon's words to his men before the battle of the Nile. These were the words that spurred his men on to victory. And so, members of the class of 1930, forty centuries are looking down upon us from a greater pyramid, a pyramid built up of science with its care for life and its multiplying comforts, of literature with its written pages of knowledge and ideals, of inventions which have completely changed labor and leisure, and of transportation and communication which have shortened time and space. Primitive man feared the night, for every sunset meant tragedy. After darkness came he was forced to seek refuge in caves to protect himself from the wild animals to whom he, the weakest, was easy prey. ln time, however, he learned the use of fire and light. These have made him independent of climate and fearless of the dark. These were the first blocks of the pyramid. As man passed from hunting to agriculture, he also passed from a nomadic life to a settled life. He became socially organized. Chaos was replaced with order, violence with judgment, and brutality with law. One day a man physically superior to another failed to take advantage of his strength because it was Wrong. And so we had the beginning of morality. The one who first blew upon the shepherd's lute, who first plucked the strings of a lyre, who first drew pictures and created forms and harmonies found that beauty and culture was as necessary to a well-rounded life as physical needs. Man has learned to record his observations and thoughts, His expressions of ideals have been collected from the works of the earliest authors. These have been printed into books. We need only to go to books to have opened to us this vast storehouse of knowledge. All this vast knowledge, power and wealth we have become heir to. We have more with which to start life than any generation before us. We have inherited all the works that our fore- fathers have accomplished. We are the Heirs of All the Ages! Above us towers this mighty pyramid, the record of those who have gone before. Our turn has now come to carry on this mighty task. Our generation must place its block in this pyramid. With our opportunities and advantages, our contribution to this Pyramid of Civilization should, in every way, be the greatest which any generation has ever made. Keats Montross. JUNE CLASS HISTORY 1930 IN 1927 there were present in camp 399 lumbermen with a head foreman in the person of Mildred Dietrich, and subfforemen Cornelia Brooks, Wilbur Huber, and Frank Kolch. The Lumber- jacks staged an annual party. The Spread proved to be a most successful affair with the grand march led by our foreman and one of her favorite lumberjacks. The men in camp were greatly disappointed to learn that hereafter, newcomers in camp were no longer to be initiated into its Ways and customs by a method known as hazing. We felt so very insignificant beside the sophisticated juniors, and high-hat seniors-and we looked forward with great anticipation to the day when we would stroll leisurely into Cabin No. 1, and deposit an armful of books there. At last june came, and we forced ourselves to break away from the Manual Training Camps, and this we were able to do, knowing that in September, we would be welcomed back as grown up Juniors. SECOND YEAR IN CAMP AS A GROUP of 262 lumbermen, we re-entered camp in the fall of '28, feeling like veterans with our capable head foreman Dick Liskow, assisted by Isabelle Wilcox and Frances Butler. One of our group claimed hrst honors in the Oratorical contest. Max Pribil took first place with his oration Perpetuate Prosperity. Much sorrow was felt over the death of Franz Dreier, the well-known and loved gym in- structor who had been with Saginaw High for many years. The class chose for its play Dulcy, with the parts capably taken by members of the class. Another dramatic production in which several members of our class displayed their dramatic abilities was johnny Get Your Gun. Vacation was welcomed, as usual, and we broke camp ,i'.r f ,g . , -,aug . l 'i l ,I u lil, 'ii 3' -. -Til, :..j 5.53:- - ,-5.A.:- x -is 1.1 '.,.,'.sj ... yr- - Q. '. nr' GQQJ , ' .',s . J L I I .

JUNE CLASS HISTORY THIRD YEAR IN CAMP WE CAME back to camp 224 strong in September with Keats Montross as head foreman, aided by Marion Milczewski, Richard Liskow, and Frances Butler. The Genius was selected for the senior class play, and was presented by a cast of our most dignified seniors. As seniors we felt very ancient and attempted to live up to tradition by setting good examples to the lower classmen. The Plorad play The Man from Mexico, was presented by a cast made up of several of our dramatic camp mates. Another school production came from the music department in the offering Chimes of Normandy, a delightful opera in which our class was also represented. As the last term drew to a close, preparations for graduation began, with picture taking, measuring for caps and gowns, and the like. Another orator was yet to spring up in our midst. john Banister was given second place in the Oratorical contest with his oration The End of the Trail. john was also chosen for Valedictorian, an honor not to be overlooked. ' The last few weeks of school passed very quickly with preparations for graduation well under way. Reverend John Schroeder of the Congregational Church was elected to deliver the Baccalaureate address on Sunday, june 15th. A four day interlude followed until the long awaited graduation day on the 19th day of June, 1930. Our hearts are heavy as we prepare to leave the dear old camp with its comfortable old hunks in Room 1, which has led us along the Path of Knowledge for three brief years. JUNE VALEDICTORY Graduates and Friends of the Class of 1930!- We have reached the Great Divide. Our forefathers, who salvaged from a wilderness a land that has become the foremost nation in the world, after obtaining a foothold, set forth in covered wagons to augment their territory. ' For many weeks a wagon train wound its way toward the setting sun. Then there came that day, when, having different objectives, they could no longer remain together on the same trail, when definitely mapped trails for each were not available, when, necessity left no alternative but to strike boldly out for Oregon or California, as their judg- ments dictated, when, with many heartaches, friends bade friends farewell-at the Great Divide. A similar occasion is at hand for us-today. For many years we have travelled into the to- morrow ever stretching our before us. So far we have been able to keep together. Our trails, which have been so close as to seem as one, are now about to diverge farther and farther apart. Our old maps suddenly become unserviceable, insufficient. Each of us now requires a separate map and as no one else may travel exactly the same trail, each of us must map his own way. The task should not be hard, for our years together in high school with our teachers as guides, have given us the ability to map our own trails. With hearts ever growing fuller as our time together grows shorter, we prepare to strike out boldly on our trails, relying on whatever maps we have made, and we bid what we hope is not a permanent farewell to friends and friendships-at the Great Divide. There was a time when we felt little desire to remain on the trail to school. We calculated that our joy would be boundless when we should have studied our last lesson. Now we are over- whelmed with an inexpressible loneliness of spirit at the thought of possibly seldom or even never seeing the busy halls or our classmates again. We realize that had we left school sooner, we should have been unable to draw up a reliable map. We realize also, that as we have spent the Erst part of life's trail in going to school, so shall we spend the last part. We are not leaving school, we are merely transferring to a higher school, a school that never lets out for any of us, that has lessons harder to master than those in books and longer hours than those spent in the class room. No matter what field of endeavor we enter, we shall hear the school bell ever calling, for the world never stands still, and there is always more to learn. We cannot play hookey, and expect to receive good grades in the School of Life, for there is no time for making up work-life's lessons are given out but once. Twenty-four 3 .4,f.'
