But we shall humbly try to thank you and show you how deep our appreciation really is. We have been guided and directed by Doctor Win' ner in a way that was clear and true, and we wish to express our sincere gratitude to him. Also, we extend to Miss Wenzell our deepest appreciation for her un' tiring services and her generosity in her capacity as our guardian. All of the teachers have been our worthy friends and advisors, and though they seemed, at times, a bit tyrannical we, at the time of our departure from them, realize their value and offer them our neverffailing ref spect and gratitude. 'We wish to include, also, those men and women who have striven untiringly in the educational field to obtain for us the advantages and facilities of modern equip' ment which we have enjoyed during our stay here. From the clubs and social affairs we have received not only pleasant memories to carry away, but material advantages as well. We have learned to mingle with people, to be tolerant, and undertake projects and see them through. This training will be of untold value to us in the business world. We can not suppress a feeling of regret as we realize that we must leave the friends that we have made dur' ing our school days. The intimacy of our classroom ref lations can never be retained after we have left these portals. We hope that many of these friendships will outlive our school days. Thus, with a feeling of gratitude and a sense of deep regret we say, Adios to our Alma Mater-South Hills High School. Our Remzkzzlfrencef Two wild years of ignorance, rebuke, and enormous, if somewhat peculiar, widening of experiences and talents of some two hundred freshmen, ended for us when in September, 1929, the June class of 1931 or' ganized in the school auditorium. No one would have thought then, as they gazed on that assembled group of excited, rather innocentfeyed Junior B's, that the great talent, now sofmuch in evif dence, was even then in the minds and hearts of those students. Who would have supposed that Walter Craig, hero incomparable, could portray Hamlet with such intense dramatic fervor, or, that Elmer Johnson would someday dash wildly about the physics room with his face covered with iron filings, or that Bob Augustino would become an AllfScholastic end, Sarah Livingston never grow an inch taller, or that Eva Littf man would become the perpetual task Miss Potterj ten o'clock scholar Well, no one could have dreamed these things, I know, but all too truly have they happened since that class meeting. But even then, way back in 1929, we had a little of that quality which Mr. Ross emphasizes, oh! so strongly, in his shorthand classes,- horse sense . We elected Miss Wenzell to the somewhat doubtful pleasure of seeing us through the remaining hectic years of our stay at South Hills. We decided, too, that per' haps Fritz Beinhauer would make a fine steadying influf ence at the wheel of the class. So we elect-ed him President. It is quite a nice feeling to have a President and a Guardian, and to have class meetings. I think class meetings are the wildest things in a Class's career, espef cially when Charles Shore arises to make devastating remarks about the inefficiency of everyone in general and his Refreshment Committee for the Picnic, in par' ticular. But we really did accomplish other things that we're making use of now. Early in 1929 we chose as our class flower the tea' rose, our colors, blue and gold, and a motto which we feel we have lived up to- Create, Don't lmitatef' All this we did in our junior B semester, and as we be' came junior A's we gradually became more closely united. In june, 1930 we had our first big class event. Cur Class Picnic as juniors was held at Eichleay's. Who can ever forget Charles Shorels immortal words to the rest of the Refreshment Committee, a few days prior to the picnic, that he had been appointed chair' man to lend respectability to the Committee, and his flat refusal to buy the weiners, as a thing quite beneath him. However, he did bring the onions when the rest of the Committee absolutely refused to think of it. Anyhow, the whole picnic was a great success. The class attendance was almost unanimous. We played
