Behind us thoughts of friendship made And goals that we have won. Behind us memories of things That we have said and done. Behind us all our teachers, who Have helped us make our way. These memories will linger, though We leave your halls today. II. Before us all the world to roam And trials that we must face But we're the sons fdaughtersj of U. H. S. And we will Find our place- We know that we can conquer all, Can answer every call, We're graduates of U. H. S. The grandest school of all. CHORUS Goodbye, U. High, Your memories will cling- Goodbye, U. High- Your song will sweeter ring. Farewell, classmates, For now our ways must part. Goodbye, U. High- You're ever in my heart. Page Fifteen

NUNC DIMITTIS CLASS HISTORY BY FRANCES GRIFFIN AND JOHN DICE URING our first year in U. High, Mr. Wells and Miss Sebald were our homeroom teachers. Our class program for assembly was a play written by Eleanor Jones. The boy's homeroom gave a party, followed by another given by the girls, who finished the year off in line style by starting a fire in the basement of the Elementary School. EIGHTH In the eighth grade our boys began to show a glimmering of originality by setting off skyrockets and gunpowder in their locker rooms. Eleanor jones wrote another play, given by the girl's homeroom. The high point of the year was the class picnic at Newport beach, everyone bringing the wrong food. However, we filled in the gaps with hot dogs, bought from the pavilion. After a baseball game played amid clouds of interested mosquitoes, and a feeble attempt at dancing, we left for home in the usual post-picnic manner, tired but happy. NINTH The boys came back to school to find a new homeroom teacher in Mr. Well's place. Miss Chipman took over the arduous task of looking after them. The boys gave a comedy in assembly, distinguishing themselves as potential Thespian material. Their escapade of the year, a war fought with shoes, took place in the locker room, scene of many past scrimmages. This particular event was memorable for its electric light breakage. We finished the year again with our annual Newport picnic. TENTH As big tenth graders, we felt quite superior to the little junior High children. We celebrated our right to attend school parties by giving the Sophomore Struggle. Our boys turned athletic and took part in several sports, while the rest of us turned out to watch them. This year ended, luckily, without any mock warfare or Fourth of July celebrations. I ELEVENTH In our junior Year, Miss Sebald left us for a secretarial position in Detroit. Fortunately, Miss McKinney was without a homeroom, so she became guardian to the girls. We held many important positions in the various school clubs, and the boys served as regulars on school teams. A large part of the class took part in the junior Play, The Torrhlzearerr, written by George Kelly and produced under Mr. Ford's direction. The play, a decided success, was one of the high spots of our school career. We helped the Seniors graduate by giving the Junior-Senior Prom and a reception following the graduation exercises. TWELFTH Much to their disappointment, the boys found that Miss Chipman would not be with them during their last year. However, they were glad to welcome Miss Bell, an exchange teacher from Spokane. Stan Moore, the new president of the student council, left early in the fall for a school in Asheville, but his ofiice was very ably filled by his successor, Bill Dobson. The Impomznre of Being Earnert, our Senior play was highly successful. Our Alumni party brought back an unusually large number of U. High graduates, who expressed much pleasure in the really beautiful transformation of the bare 'rec' room. Matters of importance that can be settled only by seniors necessitated the holding of long and sometimes exciting class meetings but at last everything was settled-the class motto, the colors, the song. We trust that we spent our class memorial money wisely. The events of commencement week rushed by in quick succession and on the morning of june 18, we clasped our diplomas and bowed ourselves out of the undergraduate life of University High School.
