THE WALNUT TREE SENIOR CLASS HISTORY “Hitch your wagon to the stars Line! Order! Position! The upperclassmen thought the high school was staging a baseball tournament, but it was nothing other than Mr. LaFtise calling 47 Presides, the greenest ever, into the baseball game of life. This little squad had enrolled in early September, 1924. for the purpose of playing the game. fair, clean, and hard. e quickly found our respective places and began work. Under the direction of our Captain we accomplished wonders. Baby faces appeared in athletics, music, dramatics and all other important phases of the game. We kept up our unfaltering pace during the entire year, but due to various temptations from the side lines’and what not. nine of our number dropped out and when the roll was called at second base, only 38 answered “Present.” The opening of September. 1925. found 38 donned and waiting for the orders of our new captain, Miss Katum. After we received them, we were off. No one dares say we didn't fight, for we had learned that beyond the “Portals of Accomplishments,” lay rewards for faithful players. Light evidently forgot the promise, for at the close of the second quarter, Miss Kamm found them exhausted on the field. Inspired bv all the loyalty Walnut High has ever known, and brightened by the sight of fourth base in the distance, thirty veterans dashed off third base. That year Captain Kofoed so led us Juniors that we became renowned to the world at large. We sent men into all phases of athletics, some were shining lights in music and dramatics. In spite of honors and spectacular feats, the game did not offer enough, and five sought fame elsewhere. September. 1927. found 26 players, all loval and true, stamped by the marks of the game, yet willing to carry the banner to the goal, willing to play the game to the end and find what it all meant. We have begun the game; we have finished it. We played the fourth quarter, reached the fourth base and thus made the home run. Now we must bid farewell to Captain Fagan, our teachers, classmates, and our Alma Mater, for we now belong to the world, and there each one will play the game by himself. 19 2 8 Page sixteen
