'VT 'X' COMMENCEMENT In conjunction with the past and present theme of Commence- ment and Baccalaureate, Class Night june 7 was a review of the three years that the present senior class has been in Weatherwax. A few future forecasts were included. After the program, seniors pro- ceeded with a good heart to class breakfast. Reverend McDowell of the Congregational church spoke to the departing students on Baccalaureate night, june 4, choosing as his topic, What's To Do About It? At Commencement comes the solemn moment when diplomas are handed out-the culmination of twelve years of education. It is the first great step in the lives of two hundred and Hfty-three young people, and the ceremony is impressive.

C 71 PEARSALL PORTER FORGEY GITTINGS L , if President Vice-President Secretary Treasuwl K . f 1 3' LJ SENIOR HISTORY 1893-1933 It is as if something indescribably precious has gone out of our lives. For us high school is a thing of the past, and as we turn toward another milestone on the road ahead, our hearts may feel strangely empty. Behind us we have left the happy hours spent in and about good old A. H. S.-those hours we never realized we prized so highly until they were really gone. Exactly forty years ago, were you now standing outside the old Terrace Heights School, you would see Aberdeen's first high school graduation class of three seniors coming down the steps with diplomas in their hands. And if you were to look even more closely, you would be surprised to find that they were all girls, now Mrs. Jessie B. Hard- castle, Mrs. L. P. Dudley, and Mrs. Elizabeth K. Wilson. Men, men, are women the undisputed pioneers of the Weather- wax graduating class of ,33? It would seem so. Wouldn't it be fun to poke our noses into the senior history of the class of 1893? For instance, imagine having to write a fifteen hundred word essay in order to receive our diplomas. Ouch! If you were to go to a modern formal dance you'd get an idea what the girls wore who went up on the stuffy little stage at Com- mencement forty years ago . . . long white dresses trailing to the ground. And the boys, sure as you were born, would have made their debut in dark suits and flashy stick-pins-- that is, if there had been boys in the senior class of '93. A few years can make a whale of a difference. Gone are the white dresses, the stick-pins, the curls, the frills and furbelows of long ago, and in their place we've adopted Cboys and girls alikej the dark gray cap and gown that adds so much to the solemnity of Commencement. And our class stands-instead of a mere quarter of a dozen-over two hundred and fifty strong. Well, it's over with suddenly. We are grown-up. It doesn't seem true that john Pearsall is no longer president, John Porter, vice- president, Pat Forgey but a secretary of the past and Wallace Gittings now a treasurer of last year. It seems incredible that Miss Smith, after taking the seniors through three years-bringing them up, in fact-should be adviser no longer. And Bill Newton has lost his place on the Board of Control. Back in the days of forty years ago there were no senior activities, but when we recall our Senior Mixer, Senior Dress-Up Day, the junior-Senior Cinderella Ball, Senior Assembly, Junior-Senior Barn Dance and other delightful affairs, now a part of our past days, we unconsciously pause to wish them back again. For, after all, our senior year furnished some of the happiest moments of our lives. So . . as, through our four years of high school, we have suc- ceeded as a class, may each and every member of the Senior Class of '33 live prosperously and well through the many years to come.
