111' 1355 Our class is seventeen plus four. We're loyal, brave, and true, And wefre the sages of the W. H. S., Great in fame and knowledge. First upon our roll you'll find, One to a farmer's life inclined Elmer say's his life holds no cheer For him without Bernita dear. Estella, so I hear, Is only in her seventeen year. Great brains has she for one so young. Far and wide her praises will be sung. Herbert our president we see, A man of force and strength will be. r Florence is learned, and wise, Her wisdom will surely take a prize. Emmert of a bashful mein, With vivid blush so often seen. Albert with countenance gay, Looks real wise and bluffs his way Treva is mischievous, but always kind, Where'er she goes, our Daisy you'll always find. Adam desires to do his very best, Don't be disappointed when effort is put to test. Glen holds the highest place, High in all our learned grace. Amanda is successful in what'er she tries, She should be happy and merry likewise. Ernest, 'too appears in our class, Interested is he in a Wakarusa lass. Fern is a gay bright lass, It's a wonder she isn't at the head of the class. Warren, Edwin and John, are country swain, Interested are they in cattle and grain. For Nelson it seems a waste, But gay times for those who taste. There's Maud, Esther, Linfred and Joyce too, Who, to the W. H. S. will always be true. Joy Marie now appears, Who vows that in later years, A millionaire intends to wed, And in luxury will be led. Now my tale is almost thru, - The tale of the class seventeen plus four, To new joys and sorrows our faces We turn But for old Wakarusa High we'l1 ever learn. Amanda Wenger '20 Twenty-six

Everyone had a wonder- ful time, but a few of them got restless and motored to Elkhart. T'he party was chaperoned by Miss Knisley. Oct. 29th the Seniors were entertained at the home of Florence Strope. Everyone felt real peppy, and we had a regular time, Games and contests were features of the evening, but no one could beat Adam eating ice cream. March 8, half of the Senior class went to Elkhart, to have their pic- tures tooken. This seemed to be the least of their worries however, because-well, they have shows 'n everything in Elkhart and they didn't get home until six o'clock. March 9. The remainder of the class went to Elkhart for the same purpose. The facutly profited by past mistakes and sent a teacher along. As a consequence they arrived in time for the afternoon classes.
