We, the most bril- liant students, that as yet have entered. hfgh school, began our one great career. There was nothing dull aboutnus. Wle were here shining in our greenness like brass dumb-bells. VVe wandered aimlessly about endeavoring to End our proper class rooms and escape witlfthe least possible notice of our greenness. Vlle were the victims of jokes, foul play, and many misdemeanors until one of our class made the football squad. About this time webecame intelligent enough to understand what it was all about, and we were then ushered to the third deck making us Sophomores in the highest degree. iXVith this promotion we organized and enjoyed many sojourns, much to the anx- iety of our fond parents. At last we arrived on the second deck nick-named junior hang-out.', Upon moving we immediately gave the remaining passengers and officers a program consisting of three one-act plays. And as a last social obligation, we were hosts to the Seniors and faculty at the Annual Junior-Senior Reception. Letys give the sailors, yell, we're on top deck now where no one is al- lowed but Seniors and faculty. Because of our position on the top deck we felt the call to give a very clever play which presented unthought of talent. To bring our four successful years to a close, we gave the entire crew and pas- sengers a party entitled The VV. il.. Showboatf' as a celebration of the many tasks and labors that we performed successfully While climbing from the lowest deck to the top deck. And now we offer the faculty, who for four years piloted us successfully, bearing the burdens that we might find pleasure, our most sincere thanks and appreciation. May the future bring them unthought of success and happiness. RUTH GORDON '28, Page Twenty-one
