 —THE CARDINAL' ACTIVITIES “Sometimes when going along a country lane, you may see a brilliant flash of red or hear a melodious burst of song. That will be the Cardinal, for he is as scarlet as his name implies, and his song is as distinctive as his coat is beautiful “He is a frolicsome creature, and seems to have never a care. How could the coming of Spring with all her beauty be complete without the gay, active little Cardinal?” -2 7

FRESHMAN CLASS HISTORY On September 2, 1929. eleven Freshmen entered the Warrensburg Community High School. As usual, we were a quiet group of people, until we became acquainted with the other students. We held a class meeting early in the year and elected the following officers: president, Orville Sheneman; vice-president. Margaret Faith; secretary-treasurer, Ann Noel. After much debating, we chose Miss Bell to act as our class advisor, for we knew- that we would encounter many difficulties, where we would need lots of advice and plenty of assistance. We had a hard time deciding on class colors, hut, finally, green and white were chosen, with the lily of the valley as our class flower, and “Green, hut growing” for our class motto. On September 26, the Sophomores gave us a barnyard party and initiated us into the school affairs. Orville Sheneman.

A few years ago, after the dividing of the school into two groups, to the lot of each side fell the naming of the society. The word Histronic, pertaining to drama, was selected. Much interest was taken, and we have succeeded in winning the silver cup for the last two years. Of course, it is our aim to do so again this year. Early in the fall of 1929, we met and chose our officers. They are as follows: President................................James Wharton Vice-president...........................Charlotte Hursh Secretary and Treasurer..................Kathryn Robbins Due to the interest of its members, the Histronic side has had a very successful group of programs. Drifting away from the monotony of variety programs, they have produced a few short plays, much to the approval of the student body and the faculty. Who will carry away this year’s cup remains to be seen, but we are sure that no little competition will be given for that honor. 8
