Senior Reminiscences Y Very secretively the last of February our Principal sent a message to each Senior- Come to our Bungalow at blink of lights. Twenty-six of us knew what this meant because, just one year ago we were called to the same room to organize as Juniors. Now eleven more having joined us our Senior year, choosing Clark Lamberton as Chief Pilot, we started on our flight for Regions Beyond. Onward, and upward the airplane of time swiftly was bearing us to our first port, Commencement when we would refuel for our flight for Higher Education. Y Secret's out!-Very proudly in Chapel we presented our banner of Black and Gold, our Officers, our Motto, and our Song. Our Sponsor, Professor Schutt proclaimed an ofiicial Senior Day to celebrate the organization of the largest and best class of Seniors of Y. V. A. Y On April 30th, thirty-seven excited Seniors donned Black sweaters with gold bands, and emblems, happily took their places in the eight cars forming a caravan to start that memorable journey to Senior Convention. Y Do you remember a certain class meeting when it was announced Noodle Supper at the Parsonage with Elder and Mrs. Schnepper as host and hostess? How could we forget the fresh bread, and jam that accompanied the delicious supper. Y Wednesday, May 10th, from 5:30 to 7:30 we were entertained by our Principal and wife, on the lawn playing Croquet, and baseball, followed by another unforgettable supper. Hats off to Elder Schnepper and Professor Schutt for choosing wives who are such good cooks. Y Junior-Senior Picnics may be a tradition, but the Juniors of 1939 broke the record for giving the most splendid, and eventful expedition ever participated in by any Seniors. Y With final exams over our anxiety, and expense turned, not to relief, and light- heartedness as we expected, but to an unexplainable emptiness in our hearts. Y The last informal binding tie of our beloved Senior Class was our Senior Picnic where we forgot to be dignified,'! Y The closing exercises of the school year, over the week-end of June 2nd, and 3rd, brought many sad hearts, but our plane is ready to carry those of our class who board it again next Fall, on to Walla Walla College.
