-.-.f-.- WAKADEE SENIOR CLASS WILL r f- E, THE largest class in the history of the school have felt for some time that our days in Wakarusa High School are drawing to a close and we are be- ing ushered out into a hard, cruel world to sail our own ships. We have been advised by Professor C. I. Gerber to make our last will and testament and dispose of all trifles such as rubber-bands, Yo-Yos, chewing gum, bean- iiv-,QW shooters, etc. Therefore being of sound mind and of disposing disposition, in spite of the many circumstances which might easily have drove us insane and soured our disposition, do will and bequeath the following articles: I ,IL ARTICLE I. Item I-To Mr. Rohrer, who has been our sponsor for three years, and who has 'n stood so much from us that he will surely stand for this, our sincere thanks and ap- preciation for his help in guiding us through our school career and his untiring efforts in making this annual a success.

Mother thought for a few min- utes, then replied, You like to read: why not get one of those history books in the library and read it, This, of course, pleased Violet so she went into the library and the first book she saw was History of Wakarusa High School. She started to look through it but soon stopped and began to read. This is what she read: +C? A 'T' 'If 'ef io' I 2.5 3 x91 TQ! In September nineteen hundred and twenty-six, fifty-nine Freshmen enrolled with Miss Brevier, sponsor: Charles Myers, president, Cecil Weaver, vice president: Russell Hunsberger, secretary: Robert Lehman, treasurer. During the year we chose blue and white as our class colors. We also got our pennant the same year and put it among the others in the gymnasium. In September nineteen hundred and twenty-seven, forty-six returned and that was the largest Sophomore class that the Wakarusa High School had ever had. The officers that year were Mr. Rohrer, sponsor, Robert Lehman, president, Cecil Weaver, vice presidentg Irma Shank, secretary and treasurer. The Iunior year started out with forty-three Iuniors, the largest Iunior class of the Wakarusa Hight School. The officers were: Mr. Rohrer, sponsor, Cecil Weaver, president, Robert Lehman, vice president: Dorothy Hoover, secretary and treasurer. In March the Iuniors gave a banquet in honor of the Seniors and the Faculty. A pleasant evening was spent together. Next came the Senior year to which all had been looking forward with great pleasure. Forty-two Seniors began the last year but two dropped out to sail on the sea of Matrimony which left forty Seniors, also the largest Senior class in the history of the Wakarusa High School. This year we elected Mr. Rohrer, sponsor, Kenneth Farber, presidentg Paul Hunsberger, vice president, Dorothy Hoover, secre- tary and treasurer. We chose as our class flower the American Beauty Rose and our class motto Out of the harbor into the sea. The social side of our school life is worthy of mention, We had one class party each semester besides the other parties which were given by members of our class. We have enjoyed our dramatics by the help of Miss Searer and Mr. Rohrer who helped us put on the plays The Winding Road in our Iunior year and The VVhole Town's Talking in our Senior year. We were also represented extra well in athletics by both the boys and the girls. But now our high school life is almost done. We must leave our Alma Mater and give our place to others, We are closing a chapter in our life history which probably is the happiest chapter in the story, and we wish to thank our teachers for making it happy and profitable and for their kindness, encouragement, and helpful- UCSS- -Pearl Flory '30, x I 1:-n-s,-, , .'. .'-'-'-'-'-'-'-'-'-'-' '.'.' 1 9 3 O ',lf,JI,l Page Twenty-eight 'I I 5 ll ll Il 'I ll I :I 'I 'I gl 52 E 2 a E
