Bone, attorney-at-law, had his offices. It was early morning, and the little street had, up .to a few (moments ago, been deserted. Then a laughing group of Senior boys and girls, turned the corner and entered the .plain board building aforementioned. Again a drowsy quietness settled over the street. Suddenly clankety! thump! bang! A white milk truck swung around the corner on two wheels, rattled up the street and came to a quivering stop in front of Bone’s office. Tripping and stumbling Miles Sines emerged from the truck, fell up the curbing, and finally dashed up a stairway two steps at a time. “Gosh! Five minutes late,” he said to himself as he tried to slide into a seat quietly and succeeding only in falling over two pairs of feet and geeting his feet tangled in the carpet. He finally landed with a thump in an empty chair, then everything was quiet. Mr. Bor.e who had watched this performance in silent dignity now cleared his throat and began to talk. “Now,” he said, “We aie all here, we will proceed with the last will and testament of the class of 1931. As a group, what do you will to the succeeding class?” “Our remarkable intelligence,” said Marianne. “Ahem! Right as usual, Marianne,” said Miles. Let’s be generous and let them have the 1st two rows of seats in the assembly and all the wads of gum and thumb tacks stuck under them to .put to whatever use they deem most useful.” “Yes. But don’t use them like these guys do,” said Ernest rising and taking a thumb tack off the chair where he had been sitting. “Now what individual possessions do you will to the succeeding class?” asked Mr. Bone. “I gotta list of them here,” suggested Burton. He began to read : “Miles Sines wills a magnifying glass to Sammy Allen whom he hopes will carry on his work of exploring for lost wads of gum under the assembly desks. Kenneth Manders wills his “Model T” to June Cadwell because he thir.tas she needs to rduce and! his Ford is better than an expensive reducing machine. Evelyn Stump says her graduation will make it necessary for her to give up her shares in Hunter and Stump Co., so she wills them to Alice Lee Smith. Violette McKinney made a remark the other day that Gentlemen Prefer Blondes” so Beulah Jump says Violette can have her .blonde beauty if she wants it. Evelyn Graham leaves her vocal talents to Floyd Davis because his voice has such depth and volume, especially volume, that he can’t help but be a “boy who made good.” She also wills to Ben- ny Merical her declamatory ability. “Speak up and express yourself, Ben.” Leo Butler wills his various girl friends in Adel, Dallas Center, DeSoto, etc., to Ray Kennedy and says, For heavens sakes, Ray, don’t get their names mixed up, unless you want a fight on your hands.” Arloe Berg gives that flivver he had a couple of summers ago to Junior Bennett. Did you ask “Where will you call for it ” Junior? Arloe says he isn’t exactly sure just where he did leave it, but you’d better get a magnifying glass and search the ditches of the locality. Esther Huston wills her dancing ability to Mervin Eoll because she says she thinks he’d lock cute in a fluffy short pink dancing dress and baby bonnet. She also says she thinks he'd! make such a dainty fairylike .ballet dancer. Also, speaking of dancing, Miles Sines wills his dancing ability and the beautiful costume he wore in “Dance of Spring” to Burton Hunter. He says Dorotha can have the evening gown and pearl beads and ear rings for her banquet outfit. i n i • Y II S He also wills that ‘darky” grease paint and wig that he used in the play last year to Gertrude Jones. Now 3he can doll all up and be that “Bootiful Black Angel” and Miles will have another Pendy to make love to. Kate Longmire leaves Bob Wilson a fudge recipe so that he can keep Violette’s temper sweet, thus avoiding showers of flat irons, kettles and dishes as otherwise might result. Marianne Crispin wills her basketball trunks to Clara Carlo. She says they are kind of ragged since the tournament over at Dallas Center but that won’t hurt anything. Pauline Snyder leaves Everett Hbugham the national heavyweight title for ptrize fighting that she won not so long ago with instructions not to kill anyone. Ernest Duprez says that since he’s pushed a lawn mower around so many times in the Senior Class .play he’s finally found out which end of a lawn mower you push and he wills this secret together with his specs and red hair to Carroll Smity. Now wasn't Ernest kind, Carroll? Arloe Berg, alias Percy, wills his book “How to be Dominant” to Dean Clark and says it would be a good idea to practice on taming Dorotha. Bur-ton Shannon wills his red necktie and his dhort stature to Hugh Clark. Charles Carlo will give his aristocratic strut to John Cunningham very willingly. Miles Sines wills his reckless driving to Henry Leonard because he never has any wrecks. “Is that O. K.?” chorused the class. “Perfect.” answered Mr. Bone. “All right, then, it is ‘SWORN BY WE, THE CLASS OF 1931, OF WAUKEE HIGH SCHOOL, ON MARCH 30, 1931 .” 19 3 1 Heaven W H S A Raid on Scene — Up in Heaven. Time — 6 A. M. Characters — St. Peter and Memibers of the Senior class. Curtain Rises — St. Peter opens his eyes, stretches yawns, and reaches over to shut off the alarm clock. He looks out the window and gives a gasp of astonishment as he sees the whole Sr. class waiting to be admitted through heaven’s pearly gates. He jumps out of bed, grabs his record book, and rushes out. Leo Butler walks up to him and says Howdy, howdy, folkses all I’ve come from earth afar To enter heaven and get a harp In place of my guitar.” St. Peter looks him over then says: If I should let you in Before the clock strikes seven All your girls from Adel and Dallas Would want to come to heaven.’’ Kenny walks up and shakes hands with St. Peter like he was a pump and his arm a pump handle. Says: Hello, St. Pete, How are you today? I’ve sure worked hard getting here, Gosh! I hope I’ll stay.” St. Peter shook his head, looked at Kenny with a frown, then said, 'Tm afraid you can’t get in less we tear the gates down. Besides I’ve heard from all the boys. They said at basketball games you passed the ball so hard you made half of ’em lame. Then what’s this I hear about you teasing all the girls, making Esther .fall down and pulling Violette’s curls?” •Miles walks up, stumbles on St. Peter’s foot and hits his pet corn. “Ouch!” says St. Peter, gives (Miles a dirty glare. Miles sidles right up to him and gives him stare for stare. St. Peter says to him, “You great big awkward brute. I’ve got a real good notion to send you down the chute.” “Oh, woodman, spare this tree”, cries Miles in great despair. “I’m afraid' I’ll tear my breetches a slicing down that stair.” St. Peter says, “For just this time, I’ll let you through the door although in History class you always used to snore.” Ernest straightens his tie then walks up to St. Peter. “I hear up here in heaven the grass grows very long and thought you’d ned a lawn mower pusher among the angelic throng. St. Peter eyes Ernest awhile then says, “While you -were a grocer boy a working by the hour, you sent a lady soap chips when she ordered pancake flour.” Marianne walks up and says, “Pleased to meetcha, St. Peter. Now that long dresses are stylish I thought I’d come up for a while and get me some long flowing robes so I can be right up in style.” St. Peter says, “Tf a should let you in would you really stay and not be running down to Osceola every cay?” 19 3 1 h W 11 s Burton hops up the last stair, strides over to St. Peter and says: “I’ve traveled tar to heaven. Many a danger did I dare all to get a halo like the other angels wear.” St. Peter says, “What good would it do you to put a halo on your pate? You’d only knock it off as you entered -the pearly gate. Besides, you are so tall from your head down -to hoof you’d probably scrape all the stars off the heavenly roof.” Esther walks up chewing a stick of gum vigorously. “How do you do, Ole Dear?” she says. “I hear up here in heaven you all wear golden shoes. I thought I’d get a pair; Could- I have diamond1 ones if I choose.” St. Peter looked in his recoid book. “Of all this bunch of seniors you’re the worst in all the gang. Think I want you up here teaching the angels slang.” Charles Carlo walks up to St. Peter very dignified. “I always have been crazy about aeroplanes and such things so I thought I’d come up and get myself a pair of angel wings.” St. Peter turns a leaf and says, “Esther would probably show them the wrong way to talk. If I let you in the very first thing you’d be showing them the new cake walk.” Evelyn Stump walks up and says to St. Pete, “I’d like to get in this joint. I hear up here in heaven they sing the triumph sor.g. I’d like to add any beeootiful -voice to the others in the throng.” St. Peter says, “I hear one cay in Spatz’s room, oh, back a month or more, you sat down in a chair and it spilled you on the floor. You might bust up our furniture and we’d never get any more.” Arloe slouches up and says, “Howdy, Old Boy, they say the girls up here are so nice and have such style. I thought I’d come up to investigate and maybe stay awhile.” St. Peter scratches his head then says, “Seems that I remember you broke a golden rule and one Friday afternoon played hooky from school. And instead of reading Macbeth and of the heavenly glories you used to spend too much time a reading snappy stories.” •Beulah walks up and says, “Hello, Mr. St. Peter. I lost my ticket but can I still get into heaven? They say if you go to the other place you’ll burn and that’s no fooling. I thought that I would rather go where the atmosphere’s more cooling.” St. Peter looks at Beulah then says, “Once you slapped Leo Butler and almost knocked him down. I’m sure that even our angels won’t let you slap them around.” Kathryn Longmire is seen just appe-arang on the stairs. She arrives much out of breath. “I hear that here in heaven is a good place to rest. After working all these years at Kent’s won’t you grant my last request?” St. Peter says, “You charged1 -two bits for a hot dog. Of course, it was only a mishap. But besides you dropped a chocolate pie in one of the customers’ lap.” Evelyn Graham steps up and says tearfully, “Where’s Harry Kennedy? On earth •he won my heart. Now if we’re both in heaven we’ll never have to part.” St. Peter hands her a handkerchief then says, “Goodness, gracious, Evelyn, I’d like to let you in but the way you mispronounced your Caesar certainly was a sin.” Pauline Snyder steps up and says, “Blow me down Popeye. Does youse wanta fight? Bend down a little closer and I’ll jab ye with my right.” St. Peter looks startled then says fearfully, “Now -don’t get excited, Polly, let’s v.ot have a row. Keep your temper down and I’ll let you in right now.” Pauline takes a step closer says, “You let these other guys in or I’ll sock you in the eye.” St. Peter takes the golden key, opens the gate with a sigh, and the Seniors all troop in. —E. E. H. w US - Class History Choo! Choo! All Aboard! Shouted the conductor as the Waukee Kindergarten to Senior Year Limited prepared tfor its journey down the track of Education. There was a wild pushing and! scrambling as the boys and girls scrambled up the steps. The passengers were then in 1919: Marianne Crispin, Leo Butler, Miles Sines, Kenneth Man-ders, Burton Shannon, Evelyn Graham, Beulah Jump, Kathryn Longmire, Evelyn Stump and Pauline Snyder. Their conductor was Miss Eva Shoeman and her assistant, Mrs. Aietha McCall. The journey during the first year was r.ot difficult. The second stop was at Station No. 2. Here Miss Shoeman alighted fend' Miss Beatrice Spear took her .place. Miss Norma Sater took the place of assistant. There was engine trouble once or twice on the second journey, but it wasn’t serious. Neoma MoMillen and Beulah Jump were new passengers. The third stop at Station No. 3 changed the conductor to Miss Julia Gustafson. Her assistant was Miss Shaw. Robert Moss also entered as a new passenger. Miss Gustafson’s job as conductor was teaching time tables and reading the Bobbsey Twin series. The stop at Station No. 4 added Herman Johnson and Ernest Duprez to the passenger list. The conductor became Miss Katherine Gregor with Miss Sater as assistant. This journey wasn’t quite so smooth as the first. Station No. 5 (brought quite a different situation. Miss Margaret Hanlon gave us a job of gathering bugs ar.d snakes. We also made a product map of the U. S. Our number increased when Clyde Kirkman, Dorothy and Hilda Erickson, Vesta Blakey, and John Cunningham joined the passenger list. At Station 6 Margaret Moore took the conductorship with (Maxine McMahon- assisting. La Naea Aniterson and Dorothy McKinney became new passenger. The journeys kept getting more difficult as we -went along. We lost one passenger, Neoma McMillen. Our train entered Junior High School under Miss Anne Moss. Seeing what a peppy, clever class we had, Mervin Boll ar.d Arloe Berg joined our list. At Station 8, Miss Moss changed her -name to Robinson. Melbourne Clayton, Esther Huston, Ralph Smith, and Charles Carlo joined us in our last year of -grade school. Miss Katherine O’Connell guided us through our course in art ana1 music. Mrs. Hazel Davis, Mrs. Elizabeth Ciispin, Miss Mary Goodykoontz, and Mr. Smiley were other assistants. Our train entered High School under Free’ Myer, Mrs. Davis. Miss Pauline Trindle, and Lester Wirth. Esther. Herman, Melbourne, and Ralph lefit us at this station. Miss Lelah Spatz, Mrs. Robinson, Miss Harris, Harold Anderson and Lester Wirth helped guide U9 through the sophomore year. LaNaea Anderson didn’t come back to school this year. Esther Huston entered our train again at Station 11. Miss Lelah Spatz, Mary Elizabeth Terhune, Harold Anderson had charge of the train this year. Dorothy McKinney left the train during the triumphant year. Wilma Raynor, Chester Haitman, Earl Chase, Lelah Spatz, and Ethel Evans guided us in the Senior year. We have now almost finished our High School life and we hope a successful voyage through life when our school life is completed (without too many “upper births.”) o :t I M '« � II s • J ive y uvs JJcjicc SHl'dr ' AlidtcVih K«� Hcih pljndctS Ern(?S Purr' DJltet Bin v £ 6 ijjtS? h 4Wat iX H Cy h rn $ kenot, larricOi CtH$ j H«xac Km Pl?Y o da Ho ' I u :m W II S Junior Class i Seated, left to light: Gertrude Jones, Hugh Clark.

HISTORY OF CAMP SCHOOL Some six years ago, our school was crowded to overflowing, due to the many children coming in town from the Harris-Sohuler Camps which were then flourishing. It was decided that with State Aid a school should be provided at the camp fo those children. The state responded, a site was chosen and work begun. By the second semester the building -was completed and school was opened with forty pupils in the first six grades. The school building consists of two class rooms, library, cloak rooms and a full basement. It is equipped with furnace, electric lights and water. After the first year of school there, the fifth and sixth grades were removed to the school in town. During the time this school has been running these teachers have taught: 1st and 2nd grade, Maile Elliott, Faye Kinkenrion, Emily Pehrson; 3rd and 4th grade, Helen Finchem, Lelah Spatz; Nell Rousseau. _ A n interesting feature of the school this year is the addition of five young people from Italy who are learning the English language in (Mrs. Rousseau’s classes. They range in age from 12 to 18 year's. Their nameg arg Erma, Olga, Enea, Gina, and1 Dominick Stefani. ‘ ..

All seemed in fine shape and eager to go. In practice each player showed his fighting spirit and tried to improve his ability. The new coach, Mr. Chase, began to iron out the wrinkles of the team and put new and clever ideas n the head! of each player. The first game was with Woodward, a tough team and on their floor. It was a hard fought contest and Woodward won. Next week, a more polished crew played at home and swamped Dexter by a score of 24-19. The following week Redfield journeyed to Waukee and carried away laurels In a hard fought game. On Dec. 13, we journey to Minbum to play in their match 'box. The second team held) Minburn seconds scoreless until the last .minute and the first team easily defeated Minburn’s best. The following Wednesday Linden came to Waukee with high hopes but returned broken hearted and empty handed. We next journeyed to Van Meter to be beaten by a couple of points after leading all the way. The day after Christmas we went to Dexter and the result of too much holiday was defeat. The night after New Year’s Minburn came to Waukee to be defeated twice. We next played Adel and were defeated in the last few minutes after leading all the way. We played Washington Township and defeated them by a large score. Dallas Center 'beat us next in a rough and tough game. By far the most thrilling and spectacular of all the games this season, was the game with Acfel over there. Two overtime periods finally gave Adel victory, 19-23. Next we trounced DeSoto twice in good games. The next Friday we defeated Linden and on Saturday were beaten by Norwalk, two of our regulars being unable to play. Van Meter came to Waukee and was defeated feated in a fast game. The next four games were lost, due to the fact that one or more regulars were hurt or sick. In both the county and sectional tournaments we were defeated in the second round by DSoto.
