They immediately began to participate ini all of the school activities. Clayton Knoblauch earned his letter in football his first year and took an active part in the glee club, orchestra and band. First of all as Sophomores, they Uwarmlyv welcomed the frosh at an initia- tion party the Class of '31 will not soon forget. Don Sperling, Clayton Knoblauch, Russell Smith, Jim Schrengohst, Louis Kuhn, David Cassidy, Kenneth Nelson and Jim Pautzke all received football awards. Many of these same boys earned their letters in basketball also. Lawrence Backs, Clinton Corliss, Velma McQueen took principal roles in the operetta, t'Lelawala,', and Myrle Miller acted as accompanist. In their junior year Clayton Knoblauch, Don Sperling, Russell Smith, jame: Schrengohst, Kenneth Nelson, and Jim Pautzke received football letters. Max Rogel was football manager and Don Sperling, Claytie Knoblauch, Jim Pautzke, Kenneth Nelson and Max Rogel won basketball letters. Marjorie Goss, Velma McQueen, Francis Chervenka, Lawrence Backs and Ralph Backs carried leading roles in the operetta, Once in a Blue Moon. Clinton, Mary, Ellen and Lawrence were on the debate team, and Velma and Lawrence took part in declamation also. The Junior Prom was said to be the best ever given. In their senior year the members of this remarkable class have surpassed all previous accomplishments. Eight brawny Seniors--Clayton Knoblauch, Don Sperling, Jim Schren- gohst, Kenneth Nelson, Ed Waite, Carl Swanson, Andrew Query and Russell Smith-formed the backbone of a scrappy football team. Sperling, Nelson and Max Rogel formed the nucleus around which a fast hoop team was built. Mary Livesley, Pearl Miller and Charlotte Paterson have taken part in girls' athletics. Max Rogel, Helene Loncke, and Helen Taylor made places on this year's tennis team. Mary Tarbox, Ellen Princehouse and Clinton Corliss served as managers. In this year's operetta, Riding Down the Sky, Clinton Corliss, Velma McQueen, Marjorie Goss, Sonny Brockman, George Sarff, Ralph Backs and Lawrence Backs had leading roles. The Senior Ball, given at Spencer's Hall, was a financial success as well as a very enjoyable social function. The Rivals, the play presented by the class, was also an unquestioned success. Clinton, Mary Livesley, Ellen, Ralph and Lawrence received debate awards while Velma, Chester Clifton and Lawrence composed the declamation team. The Spartan and Tyee staffs were also largely made up of seniors. And now we have at last reached the end of our high school career, the parting of the waysf, And, though we all will take our separate paths and trails, who can tell when and in what strange corners of the world we may meet again?
