!jMM THE ROSEBUD A SENIOR ' S ODE Slowly, truly,—then faster Back it comes in sight To cast me in disaster If I lose in awful fight. With slow and steady fire I try to turn it off, But slowly from his lire The vision comes as oft. The fight begins again With memories of the past, The fight that takes a man To say the dye is cast.” The fight that causes aches, Of head, and heart, and soul; A fight that always makes It hard to reach the goal. Ahead you see success That keeps you going on— On to nothing less Than happy life, the joy of dawn. Behind you see the past, Will it recommend you? Or will it be your last?— As many pasts will do. A friend may misuse you When your trust in him is strongest; A friend you thought was true Will make the heart bleed longest. Past studies we have failed, Many a chance we let go by,— Then we think, if only we’d hailed It would’ve heeded as it went by. All these things we see, Are memories of the past, So face them, what they be, And fight and say, the dye is cast.” Move on, forget the past! Move on, fear not the future; Move on and on, until at last The goal is reached, the battle’s over. —Wayne Sebert ’32 mAimuAuAu T wenty-one

THE ROSEBUD SENIOR CLASS HISTORY The blue and grey C03 2 was circling high over the field for the last time before landing. It straightened out and made a perfect three point landing, cross ing the white line on May 26, 193 2, after a suc¬ cessful flight of four years. This plane, carrying a cargo of thirty green, weak-kneed fresh¬ man boys and girls, took off from the Junior High on a flight through W .H. S. on September 4, 1928. We happened to have four pilots of ability. The first to take the stick was Ralph Imes. The competence of our commander and the skillful maneuvering of our pilot gave us confidence and we lost many of our earlier fears. One of our number was transferred to another plane and we took on a new passenger. We went so far as to choose Work and Win” as a motto for this flight and the still greater flight to follow. As the flying season rolled around again the C03 2 took to the air once more. This time on September 5, 1929. On this trip her pilot was Dorothy Goodwin who proved herself to be a very capable aviatrix. The passengers numbered twenty-six and the number was neither in¬ creased nor decreased during the flight. We thoroughly enjoyed our transit and were looking forward to the third take-off. There were twenty-four passengers at the hangar on September 2, 193 0, all of whom were eager to be off. Dorothy Crooks, another un¬ equaled aviatrix, nosed our ship through nine tempestuous months with unerring accuracy. We came through with flying colors. Four of our number hopped off with parachutes and we were reinforced with a passenger from another plane. Our ship took to the sky on September 6, 1931, with twenty-one seniors in its cabin, and Loren Yarlot at the controls. This is the last flight of our C032 and it must be its most spectacular. She won recog¬ nition in all the W. H. S. hangar organizations. Loren steered a straight course and it is to him that we owe a great deal for the success of the flight. We neither let off nor took on passengers during the trip. We hope the record of our flight has been as valuable to the hanger as it has been to the group who rode the C03 2 and who proudly point her out at Our Plane. —Helen M oyer ’32 T wenty-tu’o
