Uoapbuil THE CLASS OF PURPLE AND GOLD School began September eighth, nineteen hundred twenty- four. Everybody there. Over one hundred enrolled of which forty-one were freshmen. This is the largest class ever to enter Waterloo High School. We were a jolly bunch and took the jokes good natured. Soon our greenish ways began to leave us and we became less timid. We looked forward with assurance to the coming year as Sophomores. Seven members had left our ranks during the year, making our number thirty-four. We started our Sophomore year with twenty-nine members, but another boy entered making a total of thirty. We were more serious now and looked forward with great expectancy to our Junior year which was to be our first year in the Waterloo-Grant Township High School Building. During the summer the new building was completed and we, as Juniors, entered our new home with great satisfaction and pride. Our number now was twenty-six, later two more joined our class, making twenty-eight. During this year three mem¬ bers left and one entered, making twenty-six. The next Autumn we returned as Seniors. Our last year, with an enrollment of twenty-seven. The first semester we lost one member, the last semester one of our members was compelled to leave us, but she is still one of our class. We will be the sec¬ ond class to graduate from the new building, and hope to retain memories of our High School activities throughout our lives. Our High School days are over. This time divides us, as no other time has done. But this we know: It will depend upon ourselves, what we make of the gifts and powers we possess. We have laid a few foundations in science and learning, but we are sure they are good and well impressed upon us by our faithful teachers. Let us be, then, true to ourselves, to our country, and to God, and to the High School wherein we have secured our knowledge. —Richard DeLong ’28 1928 Page Twenty-eight

(Slip iRnsrbuii SENIOR CLASS POEM A group of girls, a group of boys Of age and size for kiddies toys Upon the campus could be seen As green as trees that’s evergreen; And well it was that each had brains To function as the winds and rains, And wear the greenish colored down To what is termed as—“done and brown” And now their minds no more contrive To function as in twenty-five. A group of larger girls and boys Return again to school decoys To seek elimination from A silliness that seems to come From being in the second year Of High School learnings world career; And soon it is they realize The presence of the wanted prize— A form of card, a legal pass, A transfer from the Sophomore class. A group of students grown a year, Sending forth a jolly cheer Present themselves in one great mass Congratulate the Junior class; And thus in twenty-seven they Look forward to the month of May To spend the wondrous summer days In twenty thousand different ways, They then return in twenty-eight To learn a lot and graduate. A group of girls of dignity The boys the same as they can be Return the fourth and fatal year To pass their final school career; And each displays the efforts to Complete the work they have to do; Each working for the class as one To do the things that should be done, And help to build the standard of A class of right in life and love. A group of women and of men Have finished school and must begin The step of living that express Disgust of life or else success; A cheer goes up from them and me, A cheer of hope and sympathy And with it is the wish that each May gain the throne for which they reach. —W. E. Wing 1928 Page Twenty-nine
