The halls of ['-Hi have echoed these many
years with the t'ootfalls of' youth graduating
from childhood to manhood. It is with pride
and gratitude that the Annual Stall and the
Class of ’18 dedicate this book to those who
have carefully and patiently striyen to mold
the minds and morals of those who have gone

before and those who will follow after.

CLASS HISTUIW

With a sense of unbelieving, the American people looked at
19231) as it passed and hoped. Despite the fantastic stock market
crash of the previous year and the ensuing business recession,
few people saw the rocks towards which national economy and
the entire artificial way of life acquired during the “20’s were
being swept. 1930 saw a desperate attempt to carry on. The
spring brought a brief stock recovery in the “Little Bull Mar-
ket." Gallant Fox became the second horse to win the Triple
Crown. Miniature golf had become the rage. Women’s fash-
ions began to leave the style of the ’Ztl’s with the addition of a
few ruffles and tlonnces. Evening gowns touched the ground.
“Amos 'n‘ Andy" became an immediate success. lobby Jones
won his quadruple crown. Hollywood maintained its output.
The output. The outstanding actress of the period was unques—
tionably Greta Garbo who appeared in 19:31! in “ tomance;” but
her popularity was shared by the incomparable Marie Dressler,
who appeared that year in “Min and Bill." The most important
picture of the year was “All Quiet on the Western Front."
Broadway's contribution to 192;“ was Marc ('onnelly’s brilliant
”The Green l’astnres." Max Sclnneling was awarded the world’s
heavyweight boxing crown, vacant since Tunney’s 1928 retire-
ment. Admiral liyrd returned from his Little America ex-
pedition. The Middle West sntl‘ered one of the worst heat waves
aml droughts in history. Infantile paralysis reached its highest
peak to that date. In September, the newly constructed l'ni—
versity School opened on the site of the former city dump. And
on December 11, the powerful liank of the I'nited States closed
its doors. the depression's first major bank closure.

Nineteen hundred and thirty was a year of forlorn hope. a year
of desperation. And it was in this year that the present forlorn
hope of America was brought forth. The growth of the forlorn
hope. both individually and collectively, into the wild despair it
was when it entered school five years later is not for us to dis-
cuss. 'l‘hese formative years must be left for the minds of more
discerning biographers many years hence.

'l‘liongh youth is a happy time. the fortunate few who gath-
ered in the l\'indergarten room that day early in September of
193.") were not happy. This group of mutual strangers seemingly
had nothing in common outside of their misery. So few knew
anyone else there, and all but a few were such extreme in—
troverts, that it seems the work of destiny that we overcame our

fear at all. But a brilliant group of infants we were, and we
surmounted this first great obstacle as we have since so cleverly
overcome many others.

It was a strange group of tots. With us then were Clenet
teed Ellis, Freddie Oberst, Margaret Brooks Juett, Juliet Shouse,
Hammond Dugan, Bruce Collins, Priscilla McVey, David Massey,
Roger Hull, Peter Knapp, Bobby Morrison, Robert Byers, Earl
Baker Williams, Jimmy Humphries, and Foster Pettit. Those
poor members who still tag along are Buddy Wilkie, Cary (lratz,
Jane Ingels, Dottie Ann Brown, Connie Steiner, Nancy James,
Hart Dunkman, Joe Graves, Courtney Hall, Andy Deiss, and
Walter Underwood.

Kindergarten was a year of wonders. The court outside was
a constant source of joy. It was here we kept our first of a long
series of animals: two ducks; two odorless skunks; and two
rabbits superintended by Roger. Our periods of play in the
court never failed to be exciting. The slide, by far the most
popular instrument of recreation, proved in addition the source
of an interesting afl'air. 1enuinely inspired, Clenet dropped a
large stone from the top of the slide to the top of little Milward’s
head. Milward seemed piqued as the blood therefrom spoiled
his clean white shir‘. Whether as a means of dealing justice
to the culprit or for an entirely different reason, Roger was
reprimanded shortly thereafter for assaulting Clenet in the
back room with a hammer. The rock was given some credit for
temporary derangement when Milward announced a burning
ambition to become a garbage man.

The Kindergarten must be given credit for the welding of our
class into a close-knit organization. Since we had no need of
leaving the room, for which the co-educational convenience lo-
cated in the cloak room cannot receive too many thanks, we came
to understand one another’s idiosyncrasies clearly.

When we entered the First Grade, it soon became evident that
the Kindergarten had provided the class with more than unity.
It had a basic driving philosophy, one which has been the scourge
of faculty and director alike for twelve years. This philos—
ophy was based on an unquenchable spirit of liberty and an un—
swerving loathing of injustice.

Our main acquisition was that of Katherine King. One of our"

first acts was to decide in our usual democratic manner not to
return Earl and little Milward to the Kindergarten for con-
tinued disturbance of the rest period. The margin was one
vote. Despite the persisting inability of Joe and Clenet to spell
the word can, the library proved popular with Toby Chipmunk
and Cindy the Cat near the top of all lists. Background for the

Filling an incubator with eggs, we began the most unsavory si
experiment in the annals of the school. With the Eighth Grade L

An incident of vast dread was the Home Economics class’ w
lunch. Some considered it suspicious when the girls busied p1
themselves with serving and noticeably avoided the food. Fortu- n11
nately, we were saved from possible distress by the gluttony of 20'
the indestructible Roger. Roger also figured prominently in to
