A TRIP THROUGH HISTORY’S PAGES As the pendulum of the clock slowly yet surely ticks away the remaining minutes of our senior year, we know it is a certainty that our High School days are ebbing. However sad this fact is, we must not fail to recall and review the more jovial moments we experienced during the course of our stay at our Alma Mater. In the fall of 1927 we, a group of wild-eyed, perplexed and wandering waifs, to our utmost dissatisfaction, assembled in the study hall where we were greeted by our principal and teachers who assigned us to the rooms where we were to begin our school career. Little did we realize then, what tireless effort must be put forth in order to gain our aim or objective. Our first few years, or perhaps all of the years in grade school, seem to be very vague in our memories for these years were void of the good times we were to have later on. It was not until our first year of Junior High that we took school life seriously. We were then a group of forty pupils who marshalled our forces to strive and subsequently conquer all the studies and duties which would undoubtedly come during the rest of our sojuorn in school. At our first class meeting in September 1934. we decided to have a doggie roast with the customary “side dishes of corn, cider, and marshmallows. The teachers were our guests as well as our chaperones. A fine time was had by all. On October 28 we held our first Hallowen'en masquerade party. The Darwin theory prevailed among all of us after wt watched the boys climbing and clambering around the barn on Walter Mogel's farm where we held the affair. In our freshman year, 1935-36, we set out with lofty ideals. We organized our class and elected officers. The major and perhaps the most conflicting problem of our first class meeting was the selection of our class colors. After innumerable suggestions and a like amount of arguments, we decided that the class colors should be Royal Blue and White. At our next regular meeting we had the problem of selecting a class flower confront us. There were forty students and an equal number of suggestions. For a time it appeared as if we would have a “mixed bouquet” but after considerable controversy and debating the class finally took a vote and decided that the class flower should be an American Beauty Rose. During this year we had our first real fun as a group or class. We held numerous functions. We had a Hallowe'en party and a Saint Valentine s dance. The outstanding affair was a doggie roast at Binkley's bungalow. We were again chaperoned by some of our teachers who also ably assisted us in the preparation for the affair. As was the custom, the cider and eats had vanished from sight long before our appetites were appeased. It was then that we gained an enviable reputation as a mixed chorus. Our most able narrators related ghost stories until we felt quite sure the bungalow and surrounding grounds were haunted. As all good things must come to an end, we returned home. In March 1936. we had our first taste of financial defeat. After much preparation we conducted an egg sale which was not up to expectations financially. Some of us seemed to think that the “official tasters” were responsible for this profitless undertaking but since every one reported
