SENIOR A CLASS In January, 1932, a bewildered group of papooses entered the tribal circle of W. T. H. S. Indians. For an entire year, under the leadership of (diaries Wilson, Patty Morrow, and Milton Smith, these children traversed a maze of halls and a wilderness of strange rooms in constant danger of being knocked over by a careless senior. When they had learned that there were no elevators in the junior building and that football games were not held in the cafeteria, these papooses became youths and maidens with the exalted rank of sophomores. They chose as their officers for this year the same students as before and soon another year rolled by. Now, these youngsters had the honor of moving into the mysterious realms of the senior building, and there they enjoyed the privilege of piling all their hooks in half a locker and plunking a pair of dripping galoshes on top. How¬ ever, they bore these small trials bravely for already there was promise of much talent from some members of the tribe. Rachel Sands and Kirsti Idstrom had shown their dramatic ability in sev¬ eral plays. Rachel was the pianist for the senior orchestra and chairman of the Junior Prom. Although the hraves of this tribe had lost their skill with the how and arrow, many proved their excellent marksmanship with a rifle. The Cadet Lieutenant Colonel of the R. 0. T. C. unit and a number of other hoys were expert members of the rifle team. In football, Boh Pillifant, ineent Shea and Walter Riley all deserve praise. Vincent Shea and Herbert Tompkins excelled in basketball. The senior play, “Growing Pains,” boasted of such actors as: Mary Jane Nellans, Howard Seeber, Kirsti Idstrom, and Joe Oberman. Elizabeth Ferry, Howard Seeber, Dora Canfield, Norma Saloma, Blanche Johansen and Elmer Luke held prominent places in the vocal department. Marion Nickerson, Helen Sutton and Elbe Tasker played in the senior orchestra. Kirsti Idstrom and Howard Seeber were president and vice-president of the class respectively during the last two years of this class’ stay in high school. Helen Sutton and Dorothy Larsen each held the office of secretary-treasurer for one year. Class nite, held in January, was extremely interesting to both audience and actors. Fhe theme was music in every form from “Round and Round” to arias from the various operas. Dora Canfield was the valedictorian of the class and Helen Sutton was the salutatorian. At the graduating exercises the class pre¬ sented a radio to the school and gifts to their wise advisers. Miss Darrow and Mr. Sandven. Each valorous brave and fair maiden received his eagle feather, some call it a diploma, with joy not unmixed with regret at leaving high school. Each lad and lass, after graduation, confidently set out to fight his way to the fore with his individual how and arrow. rage Twenty-two
