Tim ilie Sophs crossed the date line between under and upper-classmen and assumed the dreamy air of Juniors. 7. Donald Bloniquist, Eleanor King, Janet Lieb, and Robert Myers did splendid work as our class officers during our third year at “I ” High, laying a foundation in reputation and a solid financial condition that has kept us on our feet and smiling ever since. 8. The J. S. that we had worked so hard for was pronounced a complete fizzle by everyone, and there was such a lack of pep that the faculty voted to never have another one. 9. Nine girls from the class of ’25 were awarded membership in Acme, a privilege won only after quite a hit of hard work. 10. When we hauled in our nets this time we found again the Haggerty cup for hoys and the girls’ athletic cup. the biggest prizes of all.

During our last year in the beloved “I High. Donald Blomquist, George Smith. John McConnell, and Joint Brown guided our little ship of state right merrily and well. 12. The Kamptis Kampen. an all-star performance, was one clear whistle of fun from beginning to end. 13. There was a time once when Van didn't go out for three whole weeks! 14. Mr. Boardman’s reputation as a good sport was firmly established in assembly one day when we popped the question: “When the hair was on your head. Was it black, or was it red?” 15.

Yep, that’s right—the M. B. C.’s grandchildren. Pretty soon St. Peter became impatient and said that if we were all going to he stars we’d have to get in our places. So we were off in a swirl of clouds, all hut Clarice and Heinie. They stopped to get hit by one of Frank Andrus’ arrows. When we were in our places, the orchestra, Dave Wing’s by gum. began, and wf let out a most unearthly shout: “U” High will shine tonight “L” High will shine. We'll shine in beauty bright all down the line. We're all dressed up tonight Don't we look fine. When the sun goes down and the moon comes up “Li High will shine! YAY SENIORS!
