In the fall of 1923 we entered school as Seniors. XVe were determined to make a name for ourselves that would stand in the history of A. U. H. S., which we have, we feel, succeeded in doing. VVe claim Mae Requarth, captain of the girls' championship basket ball team, and three other players, namely, Florence Findlay, Evelyn Cordes and Rosie Labourdette. Our class was well represented on the Skeeter basket ball team which ran away with the O. C. championship. Merlin Swarthout, captaing Joe Schwein- fest, Monkey Giss, Cliff Howell and John Shea are members of the 130- pound team that won the O. C. basket ball championship. Lauren XVright and Joe Schweinfest, our members, helped the school to win the O. C. debating championship again this year, while Fred Amsbry, Marguerite Loranger and Margaret Bradley starred in tennis. VVe were well represented in trackg in fact, we were in the lead in all activities. Although we reget leaving A. U. H. S., knowing the trials and tribulations that will present themselves when the guiding hand of the class of 1924 is missing, we feel that the world needs us and that it is our duty to seek the work that the Master has planned for us to accomplish. Although during the course of our high school years we have had both joys and sorrows, joy will always be foremost when in days to come we think of the days we passed in our alma mater, A. Lf. H. S. SENIOR CLASS PROPHECY OF 1924 To the kind readers of this insignificant but truthful prohpecy as to what will happen to the members of the class of 1924: I am sinking into a deep trance, slowly like the white, massy clouds of summer move across the blue. I am in its clutches and I see in the dim and distant future: Fred Amsbry, middle-aged, bay-windowed and bald, eating supper with a beautiful maiden. He talks of tennis. Faye Ballou, also middle-aged, with snow-white hair, brown skin and her face wrinkled from toil. She married a missionary and went to Egypt. Arthur Boege, now very fleshy. He talks incessantly and it is rumored that if his wife doesn't get a word in soon she will leave him. Catherine Boege now holds the Anaheim Championship in tennis. Leona Borth has also learned to talk, has been married five times and has six children. Margaret Bradley is in a tight place-the score is add out and she is serving. Here's hoping she wins, but I think she is too slender to play tennis. Its better to lose than never to have played the love game at all. Fred Brougher has turned out to be a great mechanic. He has learned to Hy by Hopping his ears. Edna Bumgardner has grown tall and thin and is still waiting for the sheik of her dreams to come along. Evelyn Cordes has joined a circus. She is in a side show, as she is the only living woman with brick-red hair. Bill Cottrell is her tent mate as he is a living skeleton, although his wages will have to be raised to keep him in food. Gavy Cravath has gone on the vaudeville stage and has pleased millions by her wonderful laugh. Amy Degryse runs a dance hall in Delhi, causing keen competition be- tween Anaheim and Delhi. Paul Dickman is a forester and lives on the top of Grey Back. He is married and has fourteen children. l23l

Wie were green Cas the saying goesj, we were too green to burn. Although we were green, we were ambitious and with our motto Be Squarei' we aspired to do great things. This first year we did our best to support all school activities and always 'llie Square, VVhen the next school year started we were Sophs. Now we at least had one class to look down upon, although there were still two to look down upon us. VVhen the calls came for gridiron men our boys were right there. Four of our men made letters on the first team. The lightweight team was well represented by Sophs. Al Hile, one of our members, was elected captain of the Varsity for l922. Mae Requarth has won fame in athletics for our class also. As Juniors we claimed the football captain, Al Hile, and four other letter men, namely, Howard Mulvey, Bus Hayes. llialter Gustosky and Victor Rees, of the first team, besides a large percentage of the Skeeter team. Evelyn Cordes, Mae Requarth and Rosie Labourdette brought fame to our class through their work in basket ball. while Fred Amsbry and Marguerite Loranger were our tennis stars. Lauren Wfright, joe Schweinfest and Henry Hodges upheld the honor of the class in debating. l27l

Herbert Drake is now the most high and illustrious radio operator on the tramp freighter Goof He says that he has talked to Mars, but many are skeptical. Honor Easton is an instructor in a riding academy. Do not mistake meg I mean airplanes, I see her falling-falling-the ground seems to rise up to meet herg her face is white and the wind is whistling through her hair- there is a sickening crash. I shall see beyond the barrier. Be good until I come. Don't break any shovels. Dorothy Eicholt is a nurse in a great horsepistol. I think she cuts the appendix out of the doctor's--books in her spare time. Clifford Elger has had a mysterious death. It is rumored that his fiancee, who weighs 930 pounds, sat on his lap. Florence Findlay is gray-headed and is still trying to get dates with good- looking Freshmen.

Loranger and Lumsdon, widely known names, as they were in the last beauty contest against Carolyn Nunn. Helen Manter has married the man she wanted to and is happy. Hazel Manter had a wonderful career as a school teacher and then she met the one and only. Mildred Mauerhan and Marie Meyer and Herman Schacht are taking part in an intelligence contest.

Otilla Mikesh, Inez Morris, Howard Mulvey, Jane Ostrander and Charles Pannier run a free cafeteria for high school kids. Howard Gregg married Marie Noll long ago. They are living happily with their four children. So far these people have appeared in my mind separately, but now in the dim future the following are revealed to me. I see- Walter Gutosky as president, Donald Hall vice president, Wilford Hayes as secretary, Otto Henning treasurer, Al Hile as a trustee, and Henry Hodges as janitor of the most high and royal order of the Tierra Firma Iixcavatorsf' Clifton Howell is a gardener and takes care of the lilies in the president's garden. Inez Hoxsie and Stuart Jayne have settled down in the mountains and are selling post cards to travelers for a living. Edith John, Josie johnson and Rosie Labourdette, who are now married, are running a beauty parlor. l29l
