CLASS HISTORY In the year 1929 the class that was to be the class of ’33 began its struggle to escape the walls of th e high school through graduation. The struggle has been a long hard one, lasting four years. Many have not survived th e errors of examina- tions. Others decided that they didn’t wish to escape and therefore stopped plodding along. Those scrupulous students who wish to remain in our school and who are not subject to the jury’s verdict tonight are to be praised for their faithfulness and their love for Alma Mater! A number found means of escape other than graduation and took immediate advantage of this. The bonds of matrimo ny appealed to some of our number more than the effort to escape into the full freedom of graduation, and so they deserted us. Those who hav e at last reached their goal were caught in the act and having been brought here as a witness I shall endeavor to prove to you that they are guilty. Some of the teachers have aided and abetted students in their unlawful attempt to escape this life of school work. Many students have been given help outside of school hours by sly and cunning teachers who wished to help them on their w:y to graduation. A few students more ambitious refused this outside help as illegal. One student, dear to the hearts of those who do not wish boys and girls to finish school, actually locked a teacher out of the room. That is the reward given a teacher who tries to help them escape. Beware! You teachers. You will be caught some day and justly punished for your misdeeds. They are to b e congratulated on the splendid girls basket ball teams that have fought for the glory of W. H, S., during their high school career. Never before have they been equalled. During their first year in high school, the girls, forgetting their goal temporarily, all begun to fall in love with the same young man. Of course a fight ensued. Tile Home Economics Laboratory becam e a scene of destruction. Stew pans flew about as if a whirlwind had suddenly come up. A frying pan was vigorously employed as a paddle. The licks bestowed by that pan were by no means love licks. Finally order was restored by the irat e teacher. It was well known who won the battle of blows but not who won th e battle of hearts. A number of boys and girls who have been extremely studious ar e probably now re- gretting their efforts as they see the gates of the institution about to close upon them. I hop e I have given sufficient evidence to convict th e class of ’33 in their attempt to escape by means of graduation and I urge that they be heavily punished.

Wingate, we all know it isn’t much fun having to walk out in the country alone, so we are giving you this little wrgon.

Leo, since you nearly pester everyone to tears over th e time, we give you this watch so that you may always have the time at your convenience. Thomas, we hope by giving you this horn, that it will remind you of the way the children blew your truck horn while you and Amos had your daily after school chat.

FAREWELL TO GRADUATES Rose Chain Song To Seniors by Sophomore Class 1 ' une — “Believe Me If All Those Endearing Young Charms” How sad mid the sunshine that gladdens this scene, Comes the thought that today we must part; That the band which affection has ever kept green Must be severed today in the heart; That you meet in this home of your ' childhood no more, As you lovingly met to the last; That you never again on this time bounced shore May unite in the songs of the past. But fondly your thoughts will return to the spot On the wings o f remembrance born up; And your hearts shall rejoice, while you cherish the lot That permits you to drink of this cup. Then farewell to your school, and farewell to the friends Who hath lighted your pathway of love; Though today we must part, yet our prayers will ascend That our school be united above.
