(The (Class of Nineteen Huuhrch IFiftecn The Senior class not only feels a pride in being the first class to graduate from the new building, but also congratulates itself upon being the largest class that ever passed the portals of the University High School. W e were indeed fortunate in having half of our class old members of the school, which fact greatly helped to establish a mutual feeling of friendship among the newer members. What a skilful artist one would need to he to appropriately portray our Senior class. There are the commanding stature and dignity of Paul Dudley; the blue eyes and penetrating look of Ida Kiel; the ponderosity of Emily Anderson; the woolly facial crop of Warner Hagbcrg; the ambition of Leon Schall; the congenial disposition of ()ra, and the winning smile of Bernadette. Enter the classroom on a busy day, and every day is a busy day, and you would find everyone, especially in our grammar class, engaged in the unending struggle of bringing words into subjection and whipping phrases and clauses into line, and this is the day Thelma would like to have played hookey. Our education is not being confined to books alone. W e have learned that only by industry, honesty, cheerfulness and a tenacity of purpose may we hope to reach the goal: that, after all. nothing worth while can be acquired except by-hard work; that the mastery of self is the great thing in achievement. W e acknowledge our indebtedness and express our gratitude to our teachers who so painstakingly guided us through difficulties and over rough places as well as along the more rosy paths. We are. I believe, pardonably proud of what we have accomplished, and we think we can hear future classes singing— ‘In the world’s broad field of battle. In the bivouac of life. They, unlike dumb-driven cattle. All were heroes in the strife.
