History of the Senior Class BOUT one score less three years ago our fathers founded upon this earth a group of squalling infants who were, in the course of time, destined to become one of the outstanding classes of Shields High School, the Seniors of 1930. It is found that the Seniors are the most outstanding students in any school. This is probably due to the fact that they have one pecularity, that of habitually leaving the school every year. This, of course, should make them very popular, as they give the lower classes a chance for something bigger and better. January and September of 1926 saw the annual inveiglement of Freshmen through the historic portals of our institution of profound knowledge. The Freshman is the one individual who may be singled out in any school. For three weeks after his en- trance he pursues his uncertain migrations through the halls, overcome by perplexity, his face bearing a mystified expression. However, through the long years we have survived, gradually rising in the scale of human intelligence. When the transition from Freshman to Sophomore was made, it removed that feeling of utter inferiority of the Freshman that is counterbalanced only by his na- tural animation and light-heartedness. The time had come for us to assert our rights, as far as Sophomores are able, and to look down, in turn, upon the entering Fresh- men, now known as worthy Juniors. Ah, the day when we were finally classed as Juniors — that is a blissful remem- brance with us! We were approaching that pinnacle of greatness, that superior in- telligence, that state of being shrouded in the mysteries of great wisdom, that entity symbolic of the ultimate that is exemplified bv the Senior. The leaders of the Junior class chosen were Esther Ahlbrand. President: Harvid Nolting, Vice-President; Jimmy Walters. Treasurer; and Phyllis Barnes. Secretary. Our Junior year was marked by two social functions; namely, the Junior Party and the Junior-Senior Banquet. The former was held in the Community Room of the First National Bank with Miss Rhine, our sponsor, as chaperon. The Junior- Senior Banquet, with a Japanese Garden theme throughout, was considered a decided triumph. None of us who were on the decorating committees will ever forget those combination business and social meetings at which we made numberless wistera. Then came the attainment of the highest place, that of Seniors. We took our new positions of respect and authority with a certain air of nonchalance, the product of many previous gains in power. The organization of the Senior Class resulted in the choosing of Jimmy Walters, President; Ruth Gordon Scott, Vice-President; Frank Churchman. Treasurer; and Joe Aufderheide, Secretary. Our supreme achievement and the only lasting thing that will remain as a remem- brance to the Senior Class of 1930 is the Patriot. Into this we have put our mightiest efforts, and we hope they will last through the ages. We, as Seniors, bid Shields High School, which has nursed us through four years of adolescence, a hearty farewell, treasuring our loud reminiscences as we hope you will our Patriot.
