—THE CARDINAL— SENIOR CLASS HISTORY On the seventh day of September, 1931, twenty-two young people gathered in covered wagons for a long journey of four years through the “Land of Knowledge.” These pioneers chose as their leader Mary Ann McGorray, with Flora Crossman, Morris Beall, and Rosemary Botts as helpers. Since inexperienced travelers need an advisor, Miss Moretz was chosen. They chose the blue of the sky and the white of the clouds as their colors, and the wild violet as their flower. With “Nothing but the Truth” as their motto they started through a life of wonder, excitement, and toil. Sometimes the group had trouble, such as exams, but weiner roasts, parties, picnics, and the winning of the district basketball tournament made them forget the “exam” trouble. In June the “Knowledge Seekers” stopped in order to rest themselves and the tired oxen; and, to make improvements during the hot summer months. In the early part of September, 1932, the travelers started in carriages after adding Doris Jobe to the group. At this time they chose Morris Beall leader, with Flora Crossman, Arthur Rodgers, and Handy Pease as assistants. Miss Moretz continued to be the advisor. The group was entertained many times during the year at parties, of which, the dumping of Mr. Lamar in the snow during a sleighing party will be remembered always. Handy Pease, an officer, left the “Knowledge Seekers” and Mabel Hanes took his place. Doris Jobe, Elinor Kerwood, Robert Brown, Roscoe Ingham, Louise Woodside, and Victor Kerwood left the party to take other roads. When June came the travelers were forced to stop again. The small party of seventeen again took to the road in September, 1933, in Model T Fords which were a great improvement over the carriages of the previous year. They chose Mabel Hanes as leader, with Flora Crossman, Gladys Ehrhart, and Rosemary Botts as helpers. Miss Moretz continued as guide. The party lost officer Gladys Ehrhart, and Leah Gepford took her place. Guy Vance and Lillian Willard also left to seek knowledge elsewhere. The Remaining folks showed their ability to act when they presented the play, “Nothing but the Truth,” and their ability to entertain, at the Junior-Senior Banquet that was held at the Sunnyside Club House just out of Decatur. At the end of May they left the road feeling they had accomplished something during the trip. In September, 1934, the party went forth in “stream line” cars with fifteen passengers. Medford Cheffer was a. new traveler. Again Mabel Hanes was chosen leader, with Floyd Alsup, Flora Crossman, and Harry Barclay to aid her. —15-
