SENIOR CLASS HISTORY A remarkable day, Sept. 5, 1927, when thirty-nine girls and boys began their high school life. Every member .survived the terrers of initiation and harbored rising hopes for the future, when we might wreak our vengeance on the following freshman class. Our wonderful basketball team won first place in the inter-class tournament but in the succeeding years the team was not so successful. The mixers given by this class have been famous- for their entertaining programs and delicious refreshments. During the summer vacation our joys were overshadowed by the loss of our esteemed classmate, Til man Knutson. Til man showed great ability along the lines of scholarship, music and athletics. The beginning of a series of Bunco parties -was begun in our sophomore year. Practically each member of the class has entertained at one cf these parties, and this form of recreation has been continued the rest of our high school years. The Junior class play was put c-n Dec. 4th and 5th, 1929, tne title being “Cyclone Sally”. It was a huge success due to the persistent efforts of the cast and coach,, and the splendid support of the scho:l and public. During our junior year we received tw'o new' members, although we had lost a few' the previous year. The juniors took an active part in the carnival. Our beauty conte-tant w'as Marie Paustian. The Junior prom wras a crowning success. It w'as held in the gymnasium and was well attended. The music w'as furnished by the Lar-gul band. The gym W'as decorated in blue and silver, the colors cf the class of 1930. May 31, 1930, a wonderful day for the junior-senior picnic. It was held at Winona, though we finished the day by having supper at Hokah. We became seniors Sept. 1, 1930. We lost a valuable member to New' Ulm this year. The senior class has contributed largely to the basketball squad the last two seasons. We gave the squad its captain for tw'o successive years. The seniors on the regular team have showm marked ability, and have been justly praised. We mrdest-ly allowed the underclassmen to run off with the inter-class shield this year. We the seniors now' bid you a fond farewell, and hope that you will carry on our cherished traditions. To you remains the task. To the West Salem High School: Vi vat! Crescat! Floreat! (Mas it live! May it grow! May it flourish!)

We had practically the same team this year as last year with the exception of one member. Our last years rating was quite low but by hard work we raised our rating to third in the Coulee Confer-en?e. We tied with Onalaska and battled the score off at Sparta, but Salem could not put the damper on sky-scraper R ck. The high school team had the distinction of winning every game the Conference played on the home floor. We did not allow any team to beat us twice. We hope to have a fairly fast team cn the floor next year. Scores West Salem 15; Vocational 9. West Salem 15; We-tby 11. West Salem l(i; Galesville 17. West Salem 23; Galesville 14.

We were rather green and lacked practice, but managed to win one out cf two Bangor games, and two Cashton games. FIELD AND TRACK As we go to press, the boys are practicing up for the Coulee Conference Field and Track Meet, which will be he’d at Galesville May 2nd. We had planned on having a fairly strong team, and though we are handicapped by the loss of Fillmore Storandt, we still intend to give our very best at the meet. SOPHOMORES CHAMPS The Sophomores have the honor of being the Inter-class Champs. The teams consist of boys who have not won a letter on the big team. In the final score the Soph mores took first, the Juniors and Freshies second, and the seniors third.
