LES MEMOIRES CLASS HISTORY In the month of September, 1926, great excitement reigned in Wilson High. The World-famed circus with all its curious monkeys, in other words the freshmen, was about to open its gates. Our barker. Mr. J. H. Dew, had his hands full trying to get the folks into the right tents. Then too, the monkeys would insist on slipping away from their keepers and running to and fro across the grounds. He finally caged every one of them, and the show was on. The second year these same monkeys were not much better behaved than the first. Somehow, even against the rules of the show, these monkeys obtained peanuts, candy, chewing gum, etc, These refreshments gave them much indi- gestion so that most of the time they were unable to perform serious acts. Nothing but monkey business seemed to be their Held. The next year found the circus folks back at their old standby, Wilson High. They were still young enough to cause their keepers many trying hours. because of their uncanny love of chewing gum. The class had been promoted to the side show. Curious folks came to watch them perform at the Operetta and at the Junior Hop. Some were stuck in the mud and so could not get much closer to their goal-the Big Top. Ladies and Gentlemen, this is the all important year-one thousand nine hundred and thirty-one. In the three rings of this Big Top you will see the biggest performance in this show now starting. So bellowed the class barker. This year was well known as a period of depression, but people managed to pay for Come Out of the Kitchen, The Tea House of Sing Lo, The Echo , and the Les Memoiresn. In the right ring the seniors were seen con- ducting campaigns , giving plays, attending Proms, and rushing towards a great white building. Finally, everyone's attention was centered on the great and solemn act going on in the middle ring-graduation! This was the great performance that distinguished the Wilson Circus. Instead of the usual laugh- ter, one could occasionally hear a sob. Long may such circuses live in your halls, dear Alma Mater! was ' ', .fer-2' . l 4' 72-vm. f - , i .,,,, , . .. . fix, ' F 5-'6'.131'3 -:nf-f::. -- . tw . X .N 'e?v'k,1f51 .y.-'.-Zi ' j, .

L ES MEMOIRES fourteen HELEN AAGAARD Augie Class Basketball, I-2-3-4: Operelta, 2-3-4: Senior Play: Girl Reserves, I-2-3-4: Glee Club, I-Z-3-4g Les Memoires: Echo, 4. This tall, slender, brown-eyed girl is very well known to the majority of the members of the Senior class. Her friendliness and good nature, combined with her desire to achieve. have al- ways made her an outstanding personality. She has a capacity for hard and strenuous work, too. No one who attended the Junior Hop and admired the lovely decorations will ever forget that Helen was the earnest and long-suffering chairman of the Decorating committee. If she continues, in her future life, to labor as hard and unceasingly as she did then, no obstacle will ever be too high or too diflicult for Aagie to overcome. MARGARET ACTON Peg Class Basketball, 35 Operetta, I-3-4: Girl Reserves, 3: Glee Club, 2-3-4: Echo, 4. No one can ever say that Margaret doesn't study her lessons. If we all were as ambitious as this sincere person, we should all rise to fame. Margaret is quite a favorite among the Seniors. Her jolly temperament ought to smooth most of life's roughest pathways. We know, Margaret, that your worst trouble is that of following Mr, Dew in his intricate Problems Class discus- sions. But never mind, we all have our trials and tribulations. As somebody's stenog, we know Margaret will be faithful and industrious. But remember that all work and no play will make Margaret a dull girl. So, don't be too serious. ERMA B. ALBRIGHT Erma B. Class Basketball, 3: Operetla, 2-1'-4: Council Member. 3: Glee Club, Z-3-4: Les Memoires, 4: Echo, 3-4: Editor-in-Chief. 4: Girl Reserves, Z-3-4: Class Vice-Presidenl, 3: Sa'uta!orian. Erma has been everything from poverty-stricken Mrs. Ruggles in the Book Review, to the very distinguished Lady Vivian in one of our operettas. Erma's mentality is everything her name suggests: she has been on the honor roll every month of her four years with us. She is also the competent Editor-in- Chief of the Echo, The Three Musketeers fStrohman, Krock, and Albrightb certainly wouldn't be quite so well- known if it weren't for Erma. Besides being musical and literary, Erma is very artistic, having made our Les Memoires illustrations. What would we do without that all-important person, Erma B.? ELLARITA AUCH Auchie Varsity Basketball, 2-3-4: Class Bashellmll. 1: Opetettn, 2-3-4: Girl Reserves, 3-4: Glee Club, 2-3-4: Les Memoires, 4: Erho, 3-4, Copy Editor: Honor Student. Here is the class baby! Although she is the youngest member of our class, Ellarita has proved that her mentality is mature for she has been on the honor roll consistently during her high school career. Ellarita is really a serious minded person, except when she is with her bosom friend Cthis is quite oftenj. But when she is with Josephine, one can hear a funny little giggle which no one has ever imitated. Ellarita is a diligent member of the Echo and Les Memoires Staffs. She has also been an excellent guard on the basketball squad for two years. Much success at Goucher!
