Flhv liuirr Class History As we, Seniors of the Vocational High School, are about to depart from our beloved Alma Mater, we consider it right to leave with others a condensed account of our achievements, pleasures, and discourage- ments. When we first came here two years ago, we were happy-go-lucky freshmen. The first week we had a jolly time getting our sched- ules in good order but under Mr. Clark's capable supervision, the conflicting subjects were arranged satisfactorily. We so far out- numbered the seniors at that time that they gave up the idea of playing any practical jokes on us and, consequently, we went to our classes calmly and peacefully. Little by little we were becoming more and more accustomed to our new environ- ment and began to take active interest in school affairs. We elected our school presi- dent and the other council officers. Then our homerooms were duly organized. After that came our social activities. We were inter- ested in clubs and through the willing co- operation of the faculty, we were able to organize many of them. Now came Christmas vacation. Two weeks later We came back to school. We studied with vengeance for were not examinations ahead of us? However, these were soon over, and what a relief! Smiling faces appeared once again, reviving former activities. Mellow spring approached bringing with her tryouts for baseball and track. We at- tended many thrilling and victorious games. Where there were cases of defeat, we took the loss like good sports. Even the best must meet defeat at some time or other. June arrived at last with sad adieus among the pupils and teachers. We attended the Seniors, commencement exercises with a pang of regret. We had one consolation, how- ever, that by next June, 1932, we would be receiving our diplomas. . After weeks of playing and enjoyment, we came back to school. We renewed old ac- quaintances and formed new ones. As we knew our way about, we began our activities much earlier this year. Assembly programs were varied and original. The student council dances, the basketball games were satisfying and enjoyable. The Thanksgiving Dance was a huge success. How time does fly! Christmas came, bring- ing with it a brief respite from studies, but these were not suspended for long. January, the month of exams, was here, reminding us that severe tests awaited us. But like all other months, January with its thirty-one days, must pass. April-and the Seniors chose Achsah for the President, and Miss Reed for Class Dean. Now meetings were held and various com- mittees were chosen. A Senior Dance was decided upon to be given June 24. The latter part of June was an extremely active one for us. The Time of His Life was presented by the Dramatic Club, June 17. This comedy was one that portrayedllour classmates' histrionic abilities to our satis- faction. Now came harassed Weeks of examinations. Worried and fatigued, but soon animated as we found we were to be recipients of long desired diplomas on the 27th of June. Happy? Immensely sol g 'The curtain now draws up on our activi- ties. Sadly we bid our Alma Mater adieu. Our faces must turn and weather storms, perhaps, but as we look straight ahead by diligent work and perseverance we see our goal-Success l 'LQ 71 5? 18
