La Saltianna V The Haunted House Is there anyone to whom the mere mention of a haunted house does not arouse his curiosity as to its mysterious inhabitants, such as this haunted house had ours? The air was filled with excitement as, on a bright September morning in 1928, a group of fifty-one frightened youngsters with wide, staring eves, ready to see horrible creatures spring upon us in this daring adventure, found ourselves in the dark musty hallway of the house. We had been told there were four floors to this curious dwelling and had set out determined not to give up until we had explored them all. We had a grand time opening the doors, (much to our surprise not rusty-hinged creaking doors, for they had been opened by seekers before us) and peering into what they held. They contained only a glimpse of what might follow, so we eagerly trudged up the well worn stairs to the second floor where we found doors slightly harder to open. Hut, when, with an effort, they stood ajar, our group, grown somewhat smaller in number, was startled by the interesting things to which they led. Still more enthused after our exploration of the second floor, we climbed the stairs to the above door where, to our amazement, we found a treasure chest tucked neatly in a corner. Opening it, glittering rings, one for each of us, met our sight. We even amused ourselves with several parties and a dance to which we invited the ones then finishing their exploration. Upon reaching the fourth and last floor, after climbing the stairs a little steeper than the first, we found ourselves in a more lovely, cheerful room where we knew was hidden the treasure for which we were searching. We had to tug at several doors before we finally got the one open which contained our long sought-for treasure, the symbol of our success and achievements. We shall never forget how we watched from the windows the others just beginning their adventurous tour, and how we strived to attain the treasure which rewarded our sincere efforts to store the knowledge which is to prepare us for our various fields of life.

About her we may say, a more quiet, demure person we have never known. However, she is a vital part of our class and we never doubt her sincere allegiance to it. SIDNEY WAUGAMAN Sid” Assistant B. B. Manager 2; Mrs. Wiggs 2; Track 3, 4; Tommy 4; La Saltianna 4; Hast Lynne 4. A worse tease you’ll never find. But he does work wonders in his Chemistry Lab He glories in reading us his short stories to l»e laughed at. What would we do without Sid to lend us a helping hand when we have only a minute before class and no lesson. DORIS WOOLWEAVER “Dot” H.H.H. Club. Prom Committee 3; Biology Club 3; Girl's Glee Club 4. Right! This fascinating jeune fille is Dot. We all like her charming laugh, delightful chatter, and striking style. She amuses us by reading us her most unusual English compositions. She hopes to be somebody's stenog, so may fortune Ik kind to you, Dot. LEONARD WHITESELL “Whiteseir Post Graduate. Leonard is also an older member who joined our ranks for another year in S.H.S. A grin like his you’ve never seen for it's one all his own. He’s a good person to have around and he has helped us out of many a difficulty. 1932 Nineteen
