c::sbzse:::sb: THE WALNUT TREE ra?xi::aE2ag PROGRESS OF THE CLASS OF ’30 Last night after the Junior Class Program, I slowly strolled home and went to bed. My mind was quite fatigued over the strenuous ordeal, but it was long before slumber overtook me. As I lay there gazing forth into the darkness I reviewed mentally my past three years at Walnut High. Thus musing I fell asleep and while sleeping 1 dreamed a strange dream— so unlike was it to any other dream, that I set it down on paper that the world might read, and reading, understand. Thus ran my dream: I found myself in a vast multitude of people: they were profoundly gazing at a baseball game being played between the Faculty and the classes of Walnut High. Upon njy arrival 1 perceived the Class of 1930 attired in blue and gold, bodly marching forth to bat. Mr. Melton was pitching and the other teachers had their respective places on the diamond. After striking two fouls, the Class of 30 sent a short fly into the left. Somewhat awe-stricken over the dilemma, it arrived at first base which was held by Miss Babbitt. The stay at first base under the leadership of Dick Ross was rather a short one and second base was soon reached. Miss Strouss played on second and here the Class stopped for breath. ith Alene Strouss at the head it accomplished many feats of incredible significance. While the opposing team was busily trying to fan out the other classes, who were battling, the Junior Class stole to third. I his post was held by Mrs. Keigwin. an experienced player. Under her guardianship, together with that of Ivan Peach, the Class took many great strides toward fame. Ouch! What was that? Oh! time for school. Yes, ma, I'm getting up. In this manner my miraculous dream was rudely interrupted. :;;;c::3c::3cr3E::3EXSc: 19 29 Page twenty-nine
