She came And stood, blasey, to hear my invocation. Said I, Sing, gentle Muse, the valiant deeds Of 1930's Seniors. - Seniors?-What Seniors?'l She echoed wearily. Of Warrensburg High? Alack, good youth, I never heard of it. What, Muse? Thou's never heard the name of Hout, ' Or Christopher, or Heberling, or Johnson? I had supposed that rumors of our feats Of arms and brains had reached e'en Helicon, And, thence, resounding high, had hit Olympus On the rebound. - Heberling? she said, And shook her head. What has he done that's valiant? You're off, I said. I-Ie's she, not he, and there Are plenty more of her, and him, too, if you like. And then I launched into a glowing tale Of the ach'ievements of our noble band. And is that all you've done? she asked. My boy, This was old stuff when Homer wore knee pants. But, Muse, I pleaded earnestly, we must- I'm sure I don't see why, she said, and then Unfurled her classic Wings -and iiew away. And that's how come I have no more to say. Vvfvvvm qfqffqyw 'b' ,.

CHRISTOPHER JOHN TETLEY President Vice-President Secretary TFGZLSUFCF Sgt--at-Arms s CLASS HISTORY T is the year 1940. I connect my see-back-in-timeJoscope, to which time and space are as noth'ing, and which enables me to pick up at will the events of the past. I adjust this uncanny machine to snatch a few brief glimpses of the Class of 1930 in its struggle upward. I see us first aslseventh and eighth graders, a timid lot of boys and girls ' sneaking furtively through the halls to avoid an ogre named Ellis, and breaking under the load of ponderous tomes assigned by the damsel Sterling. A click of my machine. Can it be these dauntless freshmen once fled the wrath of Koch? I see us laughing scornfully at assignments, though dungeondoors may yawn for us when the eighth hour rolls around. Life seems one long, gay picnic to these jaunty freshmen. A . Another twist of the dial and I am blinded by the brilliance of the sophomores. But, also, when I look closely, I see that'this is a brilliance visible only to ourselves, and that we are but little better than the- laughing stock of teachers and upper classmen. i ' Readjusting the dials, I see us now as juniors. The band is playing, flags are iiying. The juniors are drawn up in martial array for another Battle of the Books. Ryburn charges with her ruler, but is repulsed without the loss of a man. Kallen- bach leads a flank attack, but is defeated ingloriously. Our morale remains un- shaken. But I must hasten. Again I turn the dial, this time to 1930. Lo, what have We here? The senior class emerging victorious from their junior year. I see an audience held spellbound by our senior play. I see our seniors on the ball field, bulwarks of strength to the panting under-classmen. I see a mighty senior leading in an operetta. I see us feasting at a banquet given by the lowly juniors. Next, I see an earnest group brandishing aloft THE ARROW to the accompaniment of loud huzzas. Finally, I see another audience watching a line of solemn boys and girls receive their diplomas, and file slowly out of the halls which shall know them no more. ' VY- , ve,-Q .
