ml is it in n um-1 NUNC DIMITTISI-IEIIY -11 n ll it am CLASS HISTORY By WAu.Acn Gzun-um 'Way back in 1924, in the first year of this school, the class of 1930 began its brilliant career. We were perhaps a little obscure this year, being the youngest of four classes, but nevertheless we had a large part in founding organizations and building traditions. It was at this early date that we made our first venture into dramatics. We presented The Courtship of M iles Standish in assembly, a production which was exceptionally wiell received by the en- tire school. Our happiness at the advent of summer vacation was dimmed by the death of Jack Potter, one of our most beloved classmates. On returning for our second year at U. High, we found that because of the increased size of our class, we would have to be divided into two home rooms. Mr. Tate directed one group, while the second-year pupils stayed with Miss Hayes. Our presentation of a comic operetta, The Family Doctor, was a great success and encouraged us to plan more operas in the future. In the ninth grade, we came into a degree of prominence which we had not as yet achieved, for we were the oldest class in the junior high and were therefore eligible to assume the dignity of carriage we still enjoy. The boys and girls had by now been separated. The boys were fortunate enough to obtain Miss Hayes as home room teacherg the girls were thrilled to find themselves under the leadership of Mr. Froh. Returning to school in September, 1927, we were initiated into the folds of the senior high and the activities to which this position admitted us. We presented Silas Marlzcr in assembly. It would be interesting to note that this drama was the occasion for Ivan Parker's debut into a fiery oratorical career. Our class was divided once more this year, the girls being broken up into two groups with Mrs. Powers and Mr. Froh as home room teachers. Miss Hayes was so successful in quelling home room riots that it was not felt necessary to take such a drastic step with the boys. In our Junior year we lost Mr. Froh as a home room teacher, but we have never regretted the acquisition of Mr. McGehee in this capacity. In the spring, various members of our class were called upon to till the berths left vacant by departing seniors. Brackley Shaw was elected president of the student council, Dorris Fish won the election for editor-in-chief of THE BROADCASTER, and Wallace Graham was chosen captain of the basketball team. Our junior play, The Show Off, was acclaimed by all as a great success. XfVe capped the year with the Junior Prom and a rollicking picnic at Delhi on the scenic shores of the beautiful Huron River. We came back in the fall of this year to Bud ourselves almighty seniors after five long years of patient subordination. The class of '30 has had few idle moments, in this their last year. One event has followed another with amazing rapidity. Outstanding among the activ- ities which have kept us busy were commencement plans, preparation of the NUNC DIMITTIS. the senior play, Alice-Sit-by-the-Fire, the basketball, swimming and debating seasons, scholastic work, choosing of memorials, and mock elections. All in all, our last year has been a very pleasant one, and one which we may well think of as representative of the many line years we spent at U. High. And now we approach the end of this strange, eventful history. The fact that we have spent six years here makes it doubly hard for us to leave the splendid associations, with both the faculty and the students, which we have made over this period of years. But if our friends here miss the class of '30 as much as we are going to miss them, we may feel justified in our claim that we have, for the past six years, played 'a highly important role on thestage of Uni- versity High School. mi an u in u nn uma n n n u in :U 19
