'NG 4 H. f I Nw J-Q g 'iliistory Deluxen 1' Second only in importance to the depression and the most ruthless thing to intrude upon the tranquility of Dugger and vicinity was that motley horde of vandals now known as the refined Seniors of Union High. The sky-trailing tragedies of Shakespeare, the vaulting comedies of equally great authors all withdraw in the course of astounding develop- ments in Union's wildest drama. Casting aside all reason this hundred five set about to paint the town red or know the reason why. They now have that deed partially completed and the remnants of a once grand caravan, the 59 Seniors, now have the reason for the present state of affairs firmly embedded in their minds. In the Freshman year the first choice for president, E. Houldson. fearing the tyranny of his own electors, lay down the gavel and passed the buck to Gordon Johnson, a man of fiery words not unlike the late Hugh S. His lieutenant in command, Jack Harmon, carried out his will and persecutions to the ninth degree. The financial standing of the gang was at the mercy of Virginia Kramer. Days passed, report cards came and went, soon one hundred and sixty days had gone to the dogs, and the herd was turned out to the green fields of vacation. As most things do, vacation ended, and the chickens came home to roost. Somewhat smaller in number and greater in feelings, the Sophies were just an ordinary example of what anyone might expect. Few develop- ments came in the course of the year, and the oflicers, John Exline, Forest S., and Emogene S. had very little to excite their thinking power. Yes, there was a popularity contest that year and Virginia Kramer, a Soph. and Kathleen L. a Senior represented our school. Slightly wiser and a year older the class lay down their implements for another summer's jaunt. Then the fun began. Juniors they were-all set for an exciting year. They dusted off the throne and placed atop it Milton Harding. His right hand man was the infallible Max Meyers. The man with the pencil and ill ilntentions was Forest S., though somehow the finance came through all- rig t. This year athletics furnished plenty of excitement, as with splendid driving power, the Bulldogs became Valley Champs. ' ' T . ' V' ' . cf- 1 , T' ef NGS , Fifteev.

'NIB uliistory Deluxen 15' A thrilling series of class meetings preceded the reception. Great volleys of verbal discussion swept every assembly, but finally they econo- mized and had just another reception. Then ol' man time dropped the curtain and vacation lay before them, the last one they were to know as high school students. Upon returning to school, some assumed, some ignored, some merely continued that dignified air that is rumored to accompany students of the last notch. After a spontaneous class convention, the socialist candidate, Forest S., was chosen Pres., Martha J. Yung, Vice-Pres., and as Secretary time Big Shot Parsons, while finance was again at the mercy of Babe ramer. The ring deal was put over with the smoothness of a New York stock transaction, although some of the girls on the committee seemed quite in- terested in the salesman. Those ambitious folks decided that there was nothing more worth- while than to publish an annual so they went for it in a big Way in the beginning and made an attempt at the theatrical world with only indiffer- ent success. Another high-pressure salesman came along beseeching the Seniors to invest a little in those things which announce to the world that just another gang is ready to replace the fast fading hoodlums of Chicago and the other nerve centers of the underworld. The great Wall Street Stock Crash holds only a faint position in reference to that one which came hand in hand with the second grading period. It was then that the stocks of many Seniors went far below face value as a result of their speculation with the tempers of the superiors. It was at this time also that the ire of those fond teachers drew down into a stern line and was radically in favor of eliminating the Seniors. Having enjoyed a championship team last year, they naturally were rated as underdogs by many writers, but the Seniors, of course, didn't worry about that, they just went on backing those boys to win. After the regular ceremony, they were said to be graduates having enjoyed the farewell banquet and gone through the old routine of going into the big bad world. Bidding farewell to Alma Mater was a privilege to some or rather a long awaited opportunity, others recognized in it a beginning of some- thing newer and greater in the same field. It takes all this to make a merry world so here they go to do their bit. By Forest Stuthard Sixteen Uvg'
