There they stood on the first step, like all children, curious to know what was in the cup called Graduation , which sat upon the top step. Each year they battled with knowledge until they had been in the conflict eight long years. At this time the little group put away their instruments of play and pushed open the door of the ninth step, which read High School. This little band consisted of nine members, Fern, Violet, Bruce, Richard, Wilhel- mina, DeForest, Nathan, Hazel and Thelma. The time Hew swiftly on. We had now gained another step and assumed the name of Sophomoies. During this year we lost two members, Nathan Doty and DeForest Hitchcock, and gained one new member, Dayton Gerber, from Brimfield. The following September we again entered the confiict on the eleventh step of knowledge. Two members, Hazel Bartley and Thelma Ewalt, departed from our band to join a similar band of Peoria High. Wilma Burt from Elmwood High joined our band on this step. The most exciting and remarkable' epoch of our journey has now arrived for we are Seniors and stand on the twelfth step of knowledge with the cup of graduation in our hands. Another member, Wilhelmina Burniga, departed from among usg but we were joined by Mary Boone from the far East. This little band of seven stand on the top step of knowledge, about to separate.

' 1 V WMU W1 l-1-I The Mgnj0if1 Just like an alarm clock, he's regular, Wound at morning and night, To awake and remind in the morning, Of Time and its speedy flight. Before I pass on to myself, I want to lelate here a few Of the things that Fern has accom- plished, And some of the things she can do. She keeps books with precision and neat- ness, And with all of her schoolmates makes friends, Her grades are always the highest, And to you her best wishes she sends. I sometimes have queer feelings That bother my indigestiong But sometimes too late I recall them When Mr. Wood asks a question. Now, please folks, when you read this, Don't turn to your neighbor and say: I think that nut has gone crazy, And is getting worse every day. Alliteration Bruce-bachelor, backward, brilliant. Dayton-dangerous, doubtfall different. Fern-fair, faithful, famous. Mary-mighty, modest, mysterious. Richard-rash, radiant, romantic. Violet-vain, valuable, venturous. Wilma-wide, willing, worthy. B.
