Senior Class History One September morning in the year nineteen hundred seventeen as the sun shone from the deep inverted azure bowl, Z1 growth of buttercups numbering fifty, appeared at the foot of a great and steep hill, which ascended into that great unknown. Each flower in doubt as to what this shining gold cup held tor him, until a. larger fiower, Higher Learning appeared, and said, Come with me . Each and every one was full of joyous laughter, and very anxious to see what would happen when they started to climb. So very eagerly they began. They wrestled with Latin, Science and Algebra. They thought that this was all they were to have until Higher Learn- ing said, This evening when we stop to rest after our first short climb, we will have a meeting to choose the iiower you wish to have help you plan your activities for the journey. The flower was Catherine Schaller, and indeed a very splendid one. She helped them plan the class colors, green and white. When they were told that the Freshman buttercups might enter the different school activities, such as basketball, football, and track, they entered in great numbers and showed up well. Before they knew it a whole year had rolled by, and then they were Sophomores. They all knew tha.t the hill was growing steeper, but they gladly worked on to see what this next climb would bring them. This time Leola Hix was chosen as their head. My! what good times they did have at those parties, especially the one representing a country school. Everything was done, from studying books to modeling with gum. This climb was a very successful one, in declamatory contest as-some of them came out with third or fourth place, a very good showing for Sophomores. For the third time they followed Higher Learning up this straight steep incline. It was more difficult than ever. At this time each one was a Junior and had to decide as to the line of work he would do in thc future. Some took up commercial lines, others teaching or classical but nevertheless each proceeded on his wa.y faith- Fully and steadily. This time Forrest Gaffin was the overseer. There was more learning and yet more good times. The best time of this season was the party given by the faculty. Every fiower was at his best. The school activities were very ex- citing, for three of the members, Fra, Samuels, Katheryn Parkhill, and Herbert Lewis brought great honor to our school by staying in the State Debating League almost to the end. Forrest Gaffin and Bill Weir were the star football players, helping along the name of our school by winning from East Des Moines High, Page Eighteen
