il'il,AXfXf,43x Senior A History LL visitors ashore! Ship leaves in half an hour ! With these words echoing over the whole ship, friends and visitors departed from this gigantic ocean liner The High School and left the passengers to make the best of their journey. Both study and recreation could be indulged in during the trip upon this splendid vessel, for it was fitted with the most modern equipment of any of the ships of the. time. , As the ship was about to set sail, carrying its crew of fiftyflive on the quest for further knowledge, some paced the deck with sad faces, others climbed to the top deck with broad smiles, and still others had signs of fear on their faces. Thus looked these Eftyfive new Freshmen who were entering Weir High School in September 1926 on the first lap of their journey to Treasure Island. U The first lap proved one of difficulty to these new students for they were continually teased by the upper classmen. Each had many narrow escapes and many performed daring feats. At the beginning, seasickness was not uncommon among these students. Latin could not be very well digested. Algebraic figures continually dazzled and twirled around in the minds of others, while some of the scientists suffered many headaches watching the meteors and planets sail around through space. With such an able crew as the Weir High Faculty, however, these students became better acquainted with their work and produced better results, but not without many trying experiences. V Upon beginning the second lap of their journey, this group of passengers, then known as Sophomores, added to their list eight new members, but much to their sorrow, lost twelve former classmates. The students took part in various clubs and athletics offered in the curriculum of Weir High. It was during this lap that the girls won the girl's Basketball school championship trophy. Beginning the third lap hard tasks confronted them. The class was augmented by four members, but seventeen were lost, leaving only thirtyfsix to continue the journey for the hidden treasure. These students participated in various activities and on this trip our girls again won the Basketball championship trophy. At last, the final lap appeared on the horizon. Easy times were predicted by the students, as Seniors, but work of all kinds kept them unusually busy. However, each did his share to win honor for the class of '30. The last days of the journey were drawing to a close when suddenly before the eyes of the wondering graduating students, who had braved the storms, was displayed the hidden treasure-the diploma, which should lead them successfully into future adventures.
