CLASS HISTORY No idyllic vision is this that appears in winding, struggling effort before us; rather a realistic sketch of Endeavor. As we look out over an extensive valley, luxuriant in the verdant garments of emerging spring, we see a long train of covered wagons drawn by oxen, lean from an arduous journey, rapidly approaching the haven of wanderers—the land of the Seniors. Let us join the train and learn the story of voyagers to a far-famed country, the country of Education. With a strong voice the chronicler chants to us of the noble Urge that impelled the hardy band to leave the country of Indolence and strike out on a venture as old as is civilization itself. We are told how the original group, of which Dorothy Parker, Dorothy Pilniore, Dorothy Wolfert, Dail Philpott, and Dorothy Keim were members, ventured forth under the leadership of Miss Peterson. How the band grew as they travelled from one country to another under the changing leadership of Misses Campbell, Stewart, Eastman, Bock, Miller, Davey, Bush and Sandusky. How, one day, a great divide was crossed that brought the intrepid band to a long, level expanse they learned to be the realm of High School. New leaders were selected, and Misses Heuerman, Boten, and Enyeart served faithfully and well. As the story develops, we are inspired by the thrilling encounters of the train with Indians known as the tribe of Examination. Many fell under the terrific blows of the Red Pencil, while others survived only by the most persistent effort. Many there were, to be sure, who came through unscathed and with many scalps to their credit—but alas for those who were left behind. The journey through the land of Freshman was faintly recalled, as though they had fought through a haze of murky thoughts and somber impressions. But they had emerged at last onto the plateau of Sophomore and there, although a bit tedious at times, their travel became slightly easier. The land of Junior was full of pleasant memories, interesting places visited, noble deeds performed. Now, as they neared the divide of Graduation, hearts were beginning to beat a little faster, heavy sighs showed what reluctance dwelt within the minds of those soon to be separated. Night has settled, deepened and flown, and now—behold, a new day breaks in auric splendor as the last course of the journey beckons us toward our goal. The vista of future accomplishments rises before us. Page 12
