($ur Jfmtr IJcars in “3Hujb” What a thrill it was when we, the Freshmen of 1929, attended our first assem- bly as official members of the high school. We were 44 strong; 19 boys and 25 girls. Some dignified, some “cut-ups,” but, on the whole, most of us were out for a grand time, rather than to study. Will we ever forget the uncomplimentary manner in which we sized up our teachers? We thought we were sitting on top of the world in those days. It is nice to be young and innocent. The main social event of this year was our sleigh ride, chaperoned by Miss Gibson and Miss Wallace. We had lots of fun, but we nearly froze to death. Time brought many changes. We had cut a few wisdom teeth and no longer thought we were rulers of the school. We showed our teachers a little more con- sideration, although none of us studied very hard. The social event of our second year was our gym frolic which was chaperoned by Miss Shannahan and Mr. Schultz. With the beginning of our Junior year and the coming of Mr. Burke, as prin- cipal, we were taught new ideas of consideration and courtesy. Social activities of this year began with a marvelous Hallowe’en party, followed by tea dances and the inevitable Junior Prom. We still rave about the success of that event. We had the usual Junior picnic at Sunnyside, all having a wonderful trip. At this time we were much concerned about our Washington trip and had many conferences and plans as to how we would raise the necessary money. As Seniors we received our first real jolt by the ultimatum handed down by the Board of Education which utterly demolished any hopes we entertained of reach- ing Washington. The depression had given us its first knock. Later, like all other Seniors, we settled down to work, although we managed to have a little fun on the side. Through the tireless efforts of Miss Shannahan, we managed the usual Lyceum Course, from which we gained nothing, financially at least. Our “Schuyler” proved to be a failure, because of the hard times, so we are now enjoying the precedent of having a Senior Yearbook instead. As we near our goal, we arc filled with a sense of freedom. Much as we shall miss the pleasures of school days, we are eager to begin life’s battle for ourselves. We shall carry with us regret that our pleasant associations with our teachers and classmates must be severed, but we shall also carry a feeling of loyalty and love for dear old “S. H. S.,”—may we all meet within her walls, successful and happy, in years to come! Six Aileen Cummings
