(Junior Owen) One bright and summer day At the beginning of our teens; God took one flower away, That helped make up our team. He was such a lovely lad. And we grieved to see him go; In our memories always will be had. The kindest thoughts for him we know. (Andea Gallup) A few years after this God made another call, He took another one of us To help fill up his hall. This lad entered our Freshman Class And stayed with us but a year. We see him through our memory glass And wish that he were near. By Marjorie Doolittle 17

SKIP DAY Senior Skip Day was observed in such a big way that we should call it ship days. The Seniors rose early on Monday morning, May 24th and met in Tekonsha at seven o’clock. Acting as chaperones were Mr. and Mrs. Martinson, Mr. and Mrs. Long and Mrs. Hodges. Upon arriving in Chicago the group took rooms at the Great Northern Hotel. During the afternoon the boys attended the baseball game with Mr. Martinson and Mr. Long while the girls went shopping with Mrs. Martinson and Mrs. Long. No doubt the shopping turned out to be the more expensive. Monday evening and Tuesday morning were spent seeing the city’s points of interest. Tuesday afternoon was spent visiting museums and other interesting places on the way out of Chicago. Late in the evening the group arrived home after a great adventure. 18
