zmior Class History The curtain rises as the visions are cast upon the screen of high school life. The first scene portrays the enterprises of freshmen. Class officers are being elected, volleyball and basketball brings forth new talent, wrestling is the delight of every boy, and the jovial parties are enjoyed by all. A rollicking operetta named ul-l. M. S. Pina- fore is given be-fore a large audience. Another picture is flashed upon the screen. The fast-learning freshmen have now reachied the stage in their career entitling them to the right of being called by that honorable name, sophomores. A group of promising lads have a passion for basketball. With little effort they have defeated the upperclassmen and received laurels for their achievement, Through the efforts and reprovals of the saucy little president an excellent party is being held. Both jitterbugs and waltzers are given ample opportunity to display their skill. The Exhibition is held. All the pupils are exhibiting masterpieces and the many patrons greatly admire the work of the pupils. The Cilee Club has reached deeper into the realm of music, and the Gilbert and Sullivan 'ilvli-kado is being produced. Hearken! The legions of Caesar are attacking on all sides and the pupils are trying to distinguish between a scalene and an isosceles triangle. Their delicate brains are in a mad whirl. However, they manage to fight on and are emerging, standing on firm ground. The third scene shows a happy class of juniors. Perhaps this is the most important year because it is now that the group has really begun to do things. After having two parties all efforts are devoted to preparing for the Prom. Tea dances are being held with the aid of recordings administf red by the mechanically-minded president of the class. Charles Himmler. A blast of the trumpet of victory introduces the news that the Oratorical if W Contest has been won by a representative of the juniors. Another suc- cessful operetta, l-learts and Blossoms is being probuced. Also, the stu- dents have learned to sing in French. 4 The curtain is drawn upon the past. A messenger appears on the stage. His message- Though laurels have been won and lost in both physical and mental trials, days of joy and depression have been encountered, most important has been the building of sound friendships. Peace, happi- ness, and success is the final godspeed to the class of 1939. We shall always be united in two things, our love for Trafford and appreciation of what we have learned there for the good of others and the uplift of humanity.
