SENIOR CLASS HISTORY ☆ In the fall of '39 when the term commenced warily, Forty-five Buck Privates enlisted voluntarily. Private Young led us in a skirmish for knowledge; It was a battle royal to prepare for college. Marge Porter yielded assistance to Private Young; Betty Jane wrote of our glories unsung. Our battalion engaged in a ticket selling campaign— As a result Dean Young as Tolo King reigned. We came back from our furlough as Sergeants; Lee Turnbull commanded our regiments. Sergeant Lester did his part by giving aid. And helped the advancement of our brigade. For financial means each soldier was dunned. Frances Mock was collector of this helping fund. Marjorie Porter led in home defense; Consequently the cheering was immense. We came back to camp, ranked as a Lieutenant; Marge Porter leading, and we put lots in it. Dave Newman administered his help infallable; Other assistants were Ruth Hedges and Bill Turnbull. Bill also gloriously reigned as King one night. We entertained our superiors at the U. S. O. Everyone had fun at our South American show. As Captains we marched to camp in '42 And proudly we saluted the red, white, and blue. Ruth Hedges guided us in our final course; Bill Turnbull gave services to advance our force. Supporting the cause was a task, Fritz agreed. Dave Newman revealed his skill in the blitzkrieg. We've fought many battles, each ending victorious; And have paved the way for a life meritorious. —Ruth and Kate ☆ COLORS Blue and White FLOWER Red Carnation MOTTO Not on the heights but climbing

His first act after taking the oath of office was to order all boulevards paved and kept in good condition. Marjorie Porter, prominent socialite, agreed whole-heartedly with the decree and also suggested that the use of spot lights in the said boulevards after 10:30 should be ruled out. Ardis Armstrong has just returned from a fishing trip to Niagara Falls with her prize catch —a fine 170 lb. bass spelled with a capital B . Doris Braden, Eleanore Talbert, and Ruthe Ellen Cree, have just left the United States on a bicycle trip through Canada. They like to refer to themselves as the Three Traveling Tramps of Toulon. Charles Hallock, for the past three years, has been employed with the Drastic Dare Devils, successor to Jimmy Lynch, and has just completed his seventy-first performance without a scratch to himself—but oooh! them cars! Bill Turnbull, known as the Rambling Wreck from Toulon Tech, has recently accepted a job as coach of the Toulon Trojans; however, during the summer he is employed as chief plumber at the DeBord Hardware Store. Dave Berkshire Newman recently sent a shipment of his prize Berkshire hogs to the King and Queen of England. It is rumored that even the pork chops, while in the pan, turned up their noses to the King and Queen. PERSONALS Marjorie Lee has just bought a chain of taxi-cabs. The cabs are all brand new Cadillac limousines. Calvin Fritz arrived from the East Tuesday to attend the annual Caverly Poland China Hog Sale Wednesday. We question his going to see the hogs. Virginia Heaton motored to Galva for reasons unknown. However, we all have a good idea. Margaret Thompson, Betty Jacquet, and Mary Patton wish to announce the opening of
