Edwina Graham and Elaine Wallin are joint owners of a sandwich shop which has completely taken the after-the-dance-or-show trade from Hamburger Joe's. Cyril Smith sells more buttons than anybody else in the notion department at Jake Goldstein's second hand store. One look into his blue eyes and the girls simply have to buy anything he shows them. Across the aisle Henry Joachim has a busy time selling pink shirts. Melba Curwin is happily married and living in Nebraska with her farmer husband. Leap Year Methods de Luxe is the title of this season's best seller. It is netting quite a fortune for its authoress, Rae Cochrane. Henry Gutte has surplanted Rube Goldberg in the favor of all Americans. His characterization of his high school days rival Goldberg's famous Boob McNutt pictures. George Knudsen is a barber in Russia, where he has started a fad for smooth faces. Needless to say he is doing a Russian business. Pavlowa having become too aged to perform, Aileen Hrubanik has fallen heir to her list of admirers. Bob Laughlin is America's most idolized ball player. The Giants and the White Sox fight an annual battle for his services on their respective teams. Dorothy Tabor has a huge studio in New York where she paints the wonderful pictures of cats and flowers which have made her name famous as far west as Milpitas. The crystal now shows a crowded court room. The jury has just brought forth the verdict of not guilty, while the crowd goes crazy with joy, and surges forward to congratulate upon winning his 23rd case, America's most famous criminal lawyer, John McKean. Saima Koski is still maintaining her reputation for brilliancy. She has just written an essay on the Ulmpeccability and Mollification of Ligniperdons in Uruguay, which is very popular with the debutant set. Mary and Louise Bajuk own a huge millinery shop in Pittsburg. They specialize in copying Paris hats, and the copies are so good they can't be told from the originals. Howard Gray is thought to be a serious rival of De Palma, although Charles Couchot in his Ford twin-eight is a close second. Enid Boyce is happily married. Her biscuits are the delight of her friends, who make it a point to drop in about supper time. Kathryn Rock is New Orleans' favorite society leader. She has a reputation of being able to drink more pink lemonade than anyone south of Mason-Dixon's line. From New Orleans the scene now shifts to Milpitas, Cal., where a building bearing the sign The Milpitas Blabber is seen. Looking through the window we see Russ Knowland writing editorials in support of Senator Dunbar, who, it is rumored, is about to receive the nomination for Governor, on the Anti-Everything ticket. And then comes a sight which brings tears to the eyes of almost every female member of the Class of June '20. It is the image of Harold Vesper, the pride of Alameda. He is in the hands of cannibals, and about to be put in the pot for supper. However, rather than receive such a death at their hands, he suddenly plucks a collar button from out of his shirt, and commits suicide by swallowing this. The picture fades. The class stares at the ball with amazed faces as each heaves a sigh of relief. Then once again the crystal shines brightly, and, traced in shining red, the class reads the words, The best of luck to each one of you! G. M. E., June '20. E b 2 Q f U I fl Page Nineteen

History Class, Dec. Q 9' T WAS with some trepidation, we must admit, that we, the dauntless class of' December 1920, first entered through the shining portals of A. H. S. in January, 1917. At our first and joyous class meeting we elected the following officers: President ....................,......,.................,............ Clifford Traphagen Vice-President ..........i.,........ ......,.,. E ugene Sommers Secretary .............,..............o ,..... ........... D o rothy Carter Administrative Board ........,. ............ L enore Paul Administrative Board ............................i.,.......,..... Ernest Dunbar During our very first month we held a rip-snorting hot-dog, pie and cake sale for the noble purpose of buying our page in the Acorn, Some of our members assisted in the Senior Vaudeville, indeed a unique honor. A member of our class took 454 points at the A. C. A. L. Track Meet, a thing few Freshmen have ever done. In our Sophomore year we were victorious over the Freshman Class in the many events of' the annual Tie-Up. The eminent picnic we gave at Redwood Peak one beautiful summer evening is well remembered by many of our class. We became Juniors and purchased our class pins, the prettiest and most dis- tinctive then on the market. As High Juniors we gave the Prom, the success of which created a widespread sensation throughout the city. It was the best attended Prom ever held. On Circus Day we glorified ourselves again by surpassing all expec- tations of good results on a hot dog sale. At last we have reached the longed for state of Seniorhood. The officers for this term are: President .................. .............. L loyd Combs Vice-President ........ ......... M abel Linderman Secretary ............................ .......... G arland Bunker Editor .....................,............... ........,.... V erna Greely Administrative Board .....,,. ...........,,........ D oris King Administrative Board ..,.................,............. Frederick de Bez-na The girls gave the customary reception to the Freshmen, carrying out, however, a George and Martha Washington idea in the program and decorations, which the late start in the term enabled them to do. Now turn to the crowning glory of our career, the Senior Play. Was not the Admirable Crichton grand? It was the most difficult play ever acted by students of the A. H. S. We are nearing the end of our bright and sparkling career, having but one more term left. Many important things may happen in that time in which we will take active part, but they cannot be herein recorded. Here's hoping that we do so well that the school cannot help but cherish our memory fondly, as we shall cherish its. M. S., Dec. '20. E b z Q f U f U Page Twenty-one
