Senior Class History Early in September of the year 1925 the dirigible glided silently into space. The sixtyfthree passengers, somewhat awed by the enormity of the undertaking but none the less determined, were on their way, the beginning of a long journey-the joumey of a Higher Education. They knew the flight was a long one, that it would grow monotonous at times, that concentrated effort and hard work was the fuel needed by the craft, The Old High School, but were willing to endure their hardships to reach their goal. Miss Fry was the pilot of the plane, Charles Lowder was chief mechanic fpresif dentj, Norman Studier was ,second mechanic fvice presidentl, Norman Studier was radio operator Qsecretaryf, and Paul Gallagher reporter Qtreasurerj. The first stretch of the journey, over the land called Freshman, was made with surprisingly little difficulty. The only mishap was an electrical storm, commonly known as Algebra, but this was braved by the hardy Knowledge Seekers under the guidance of the pilot. By the fall of '26 the dirigible, Old High School, was abandoned, for it was no longer considered safe. Some beams were decaying and the floor shaky and was too small to comfortably accommodate the large number of passengers. The new craft, The New High School, had all the equipment lacking in the old one. Mr. Leatsler consented to pilot the new ship. Norman Studier chief mechanic, Elda Walthers second mechanic, Ruth Holmes radio operator, and Harold Broderson reporter, made up the rest of the crew. On this trip the country of Sophomore was safely passed. For a time the dirigible was lost in a dense fog in the form of Geometry, but, with many breathftaking risks and daring exploits, the propositions and theorems were mastered and the ship again sailed in clear sky. To celebrate this event a picnic was held in Brooks' Woods. During the third year the settlement of Junior was left behind. Mr. Leatsler, because of his great success in helping to conquer the fog, was again chosen as pilot. Charles Lowder was chief mechanic, Ann Leary second mechanic, Lloyd Bevans radio operator, and Beth Hill was reporter. For the amusement of the passengers, and others, a few of the talented gave a play, What's in a Sign. It was hugely enjoyed by all, the citizens of the various countries coming to see it. Looking down from the heights the only thing which marred the beautiful scenic landscape below was a curious combination of what looked like a mixture of curves, circles, half circles, dashes and straight lines. It was later discovered that this phenomenon was Shore hand. As the ship neared the edge of the junior Settlement a huge banquet, the juniorfSenior Banquet, a connecting link between the two divisions, was justly celef brated and a gala time was had by all. Students from Sophomore served as waitresses and waiters. Now, at the close of the fourth year, the giant dirigible is nearing its goal, Graduation. The path of the plane, Education, is almost completed. Flying over the huge ocean, called Senior, the aircraft is piloted by Miss Rice, with Norman Studier chief mechanic, Ann Leary as second mechanic, Hildegard Frese as radio operator, and Jerry Sullivan as reporter, making up the rest of the crew. The band decided to make a record of their trip, as well as other points of interest among the other colonies, so the Annual Staff was appointed and the Periscope of '29 was published. As we recall our trip during the past four years we remember the good times we have had in both the Old and the New High Schools and are glad, indeed, that it was our privilege to attend and take part in all the features. Our only regret is that on our next journey of Life we must go alone on separate trails but we shall always carry and cherish our memories and ideals obtained on our flight of Higher Education. RUTH COOPER, '29. fPage 251
