Seninr Gllawz itliatnrg HE class of '31 is about to disperse. We are proud of this class, not only be- cause we form the largest number ever to be graduated from good old VV. M. but because we have contributed our bit to the Fine standing and progress our X ' Alma lkiater has achieved during its first three and a half years of existence. The first two months of our high school career were spent in Pershing school. Here we looked with wonder upon the actions of the upper classmen, the making out of programs, the bell system, etc. We were really green, As Sophomores we organized into a class. Election was held and the following held oflice: President, Ervin Holveyg Vice-President, Frank Kitakg Secretary, Agnes Stadlerg Treasurer, Mildred Forrest. Our class at this time consisted of about eighty people. This class was already showing true worth in both educational and athletic fields of endeavor. juniors! Upper classmen! Feel big! You bet we did! This class had the distinction of being the first one to organize that year. The officers elected Were: President, Edward Krainer: Vice-President, Florence Range, Treasurer, lyfildred Forrestg Secretary, Eleanore Kinjerske. An executive committee also was appointed. To these fell the task of collecting and organizing the business to be discussed. The class did its part in making the February Commencement Exercises a success by deco- rating the Library and by appointing ushers to act at the exercises. The Junior Frolic, the big hit of the year, surely will never be forgotten. It took the place of a Junior Prom and all marveled at the originality of the idea which was carried out amid artistic decorations associated with carnival stands, dance, trink- ets, balloons, the prize cup and what not. lt was really and truly a success beyond doubt. Now we are Seniors. With great energy, yet with a certain amount of sorrow, we prepare to close our high school career. It has been a successful one. This year's class organization finds Florence Range our President, Robert VViesen, Vice-President, Agnes Stadler, Secretary, and Eleanor Grafwallncr, Treasurer. We have selected our ring, flower, color and motto. VVe are proud of the fact that we have the honor of publishing the third VVemihi Yearbook. The class play, A Rose O'Plymouth Town, is being rehearsed and we expect it to be a big success. Our basketball team has participated in some thrillin ames under the leader- - I 7 v I g gn ship of Captain Cully lxosmatka with the cooperation of his team-mates lWatty Hencsik, VVally Robertson, Jack Beattie and Chulla Grafenauer. Senior Boys have won fame in football, track, swimming and tennis as well as in basketball. Nlusical organizations, debating and the VVemihi Staff have claimed a number. 'Twill be a hard task to leave our school of fond memories but it is our aim to carry out our motto Forward, Page Tfioenty Jive

liwnhvra HE World! The massive melting pot is about to claim the class of '3l. One by one we see our classmates striding with determination, courage and vigor into this smoking, bubbling, boiling pot which claims and reveals all and tells nothing but the truth. It is ten years hence. Let us first turn our attention to Washington. The Senate, House and Presi- dent are still arguing prohibition. Our president, none other than Cully Kosmatka, is a strong advocate of the wets. Looking over the Senate we discover it has claimed Chulla Grafenauer, Jack Pemper and Charles Mazzone. Needless to say, there is frequent iilibustering. We wonder what has become of the two inseparablesf' Sure enough we dis- cover, not to our surprise, Eleanor Grafwallner, directress of the Athletic Department, and Agnes Stadler, supervisor of the Commercial Department in the new and fore- most All American College. VVay down on the open plains of Texas we find the A. VV. Ranch. Lo! and Behold! Can it be possible? Why, it is Alfred Wolter, breaking in a host of jumping bronchos. Watching this exhibition are the former Fern Troyer and her charming sister-in-law, Dorothy. Dorothy, by the way, is secretary to the president of the Ninety-sixth National Bank. Bob Wiesen has become a second Fritz Kreislerf' Bobby is director of the world's greatest symphony orchestra and he boasts of the skill of his solo trumpet player, Ella Hernest. Where's our little lVIillie Forrest? Why, it is no longer Forrest but lVIrs. VValter Kotwitz. The Kotwitz's are more than proud of Walter, Jr. New York theatre fans are raving over the biggest hit of the season, Range Vaudeville Co. starring Florence Range-comedienne and tap dancer, the silver- toned baritone- Jimmie Bennett and Edy Edwards-the good old trombone smearer. The world is paying due respect to two of our former classmates, Frank Blies- ener and Julius Bolfert, for the completion and perfection of radio television. Exhausted with honors for breaking swimming records our champ Wilfred Hin- risks has turned a life-guard brave-his aim pretty girls to save. Coach Hencsik and his assistant jack Beattie, of the great Northwestern Col- lege, are training their football team which has been undefeated for four seasons. Eleanore Knackert and Mildred Jones have formed a partnership. They operate an exclusive beauty shop on Broadway. Send for a copy of their Beauty Hints and Eleanore will tell you how you can grow attractive, beautiful, long eyelashes while Mildred will reveal the secret of obtaining golden, natural waves with little trouble.
