Senior Class History Such a bunch of Freshmen as this class of 1924 was way back in the stone ages when everybody was beginning to talk in Algebra and translate Latin by a formula, set down in a little book. There were eighty four of us then, but now the number has dwindled to forty-eight. After :i week or two we met and elec- ted Charles Alexander president, and decided that it was about time for us to have a Wiener roast. At the appoint- ed time we met at the high sehoolg lengthies, shorties, skinnies and fatties and one and all marched out to Etzler's hill to have a great good time. School drifted on, through parties, and pen and ink parties galore, until the day came that freed us once more and we went home for the summer. Next year we came back to find the faculty entirely changed. John Davis was the only old friend we had. Since we were Sophomores, and knew a great deal, some of our members thought it necessary to cut the hair of the Fresh- men, just a wee bit. Mr. Brooks soon stopped that. Our class elected Harold Banks, presi- dent. Anil so with another wiener roast and several parties another year flashed by, and we were Juniors. Roy Wilson was our President. This year we did not try to torture the poor Freshmen. We were too busy planning Junior Reception. Mr. Dyer, of Indianapolis, an agent, visited us. He made us feel quite important. A month later we all knew why he was here- lock at rings on the fingers and pins on the blouses and coat lapels that glow and glint, as the Juniors exhibit them. Junior Reception was a great success, ard we proudly said we were Seniors of Salem High School. ' Senior year, and we are very import- ant and busy. The numerous Freshmen have driven us to assembly in Rooms 3 and 8 this year. We are discussing the Lyon and Senior Class Play. A commit- tee finally decides that a rule shall be henceforth observed, that the Seniors and Juniors shall co-operate to publish the Annualg that the Seniors shall have a class play, and the Juniors may have theirs next year. A member of our class is chosen Editor-in-chief by the faculty, and then the work begins. And now work begins on the Senior Class Play, Colne Out of the Kitchen. We practice every night. Finally all the anxiety is past, the play has been given and is a great success, and the cast is free to enjoy Senior Week. Junior Re- ception is past. and now comes picnics, parties, and Alumni Reception. And then, all too soon, Commence- ment is over, we are bidding our teach- ers and each other good-bye, going to college, or to work. May we always live to honor our high school, and you, who we leave behinid, don't forget her ideals. Not for millions would we trade the time we've spent in- .side l1er walls. If Page twenty-thi-eel
