iIiI,AXfXf,A Senior. B Class History N the midfyear of 1927 one of the finest and most worthy classes ever to cross Weir High's threshold entered the portals of this institution. As all freshmen, we were eagerly in search of knowledge, wading into the rivers of Caesar, into the x, y, and z of Algebra, the mystifying problems of General Science and the lengthy projects of Soc- iology. There were those who could not stand the rigors of the journey so they dropped by the wayside. Others decided to continue their studies elsewhere, so of the original thirtyfsix, only thirtyftwo remained. At last we had started to journey towards the open plains of success and patiently waited to see what our Sophomore year would reveal. As our second year was ushered in the class of '31 realized the importance of partif cipating in various school activities. Many of our class members gained valley honors in athletics, debating and other interfscholastic activities. In the latter part of our Sophof more year we began to realize that an enormous task lay before us--that of raising funds for the JuniorfSenior Banquet. The class of '31 immediately began to formulate plans for this eventful occasion. As the dusk of May 31, 1929 approached, we had successfully completed the first half of our High School life, that of under classmen. As our Junior year opened before us, we felt somewhat prepared to meet the trials, avail ourselves of opportunities and undertake the tasks that are offered to all upperclassf men. Soon we began working for the juniorfSenior Banquet by giving the movie Prep and Pep, selling candy at basketball and football games and sponsoring socials. On May 25, 1929 the class of '30 and '31 sponsored one of the most successful banquets ever given by students of Weir High. With this diihcult task completed we waited for our last year-that of SENIORS!! Into the golden halls of seniordom we were to enter. We, the Seniors were to set the example for underfclassmen and they were to benefit by our actions! Such thoughts of paradise. In January of 1931 when this famous class will depart amid tears and laughter it will leave the mark of a noble, trustworthy and diligent class one which will long be remembered. A. L. '31. U 1 1
