1’age Eighteen THE KEY Class Poem Last night as I sat by the fireside, A new thought came to me, Of the change that will take place in the future, Or just what our future will he. Ah, schoolmates, long have we waited, Looking forward to this day. But now that it is nearing. Sadness, not pleasure, holds sway. How do we know that in the future, Ever again will we see our friends— Our dear old classmates and teachers. To whom we must make amends, For many of yesterday’s follies, By tomorrow’s great success. On our way dropping seeds of kindness, That may glorify our A. II. S. But whatever our success in the future, Or what honors to us are due, A. II. S., our dear alma mater, We are deeply indebted to you. This is the parting of our good classmates Into paths to us unknown. With the past left far behind ns, With the deeds we must atone. The past is gone but not forgotten, Still there is no need to grieve. Misdeeds scattered ’long the wayside Undying effort will retrieve. A dreamer is hut a failure. Unless he is willing to strive, For that goal far into the future, As do the bees in the hive. You must be willing to sacrifice A 1 pleasures now and then, li you would he w hat you wish to be, Ilcao cd—by tongue and pen. Class History In the year of 1909 the members of the present Senior class began their school career with seventeen pupils under the instruction of .Miss Tinkham. There we endured the many hardships of first graders. .Next came the second grade under Miss Keep, then the other six grades under Miss Schoville, Miss Crain, Mrs. Utter and Mrs. Hubble, respectively. In the year 1917 we entered High School with the number of thirty-eight, six of whom were from the original seventeen. During that year twelve of our classmates left us and went to other schools. Thus it was that during the following three years that several of the students sailed away in the boat of Matrimony, while others entered, until our present class numbers twenty; four of whom belong to the original number. We sincerely hope that in all our school days we have conducted ourselves in such a way that A. 11. S. will be proud to claim us in the future.

Class Prophecy Pn ge Twenty THE KKY New York, City, July 1, 1931. Prof. H. B. Allman: Indianapolis, Indiana. Dear Friend: I read in this afternoon’s paper about you being promoted to “Superintendent of Public Schools in Indiana.” I am sending you my hearty congratulations and sure wish you the best of luck. Now I shall relate to you the experience I have had in finding all my old graduating classmates of 1921. Last Monday I decided to go on this search so I left my business in Wall Street in the hands of Frederic Graf, who, by the way, is a very capable business man. lie is president of the Merchants Trust Corporation here in upper New York. You know he married Helen Morton, of Metz, and left poor Aileen an old maid. lie is blessed with seven children so far. The airplane in which I came over made one 15 minute stop between here and Angola, this was at Buffalo. To my surprise I found Mark Sanders going down the Niagara Falls in a barrel in order to reduce and be as thin as he was in the A. II. S. lie said he had had many chances to marry but inclined to be free and single so he may continue to be a society king. When I went to pay my fare, who should it be but lvene Butz, the conductor, who had married Harold Garrett, the aviator of this plane. This is their permanent business and they are very prosperous. In the back of this bird is a pen where they shut their children up to keep them out of trouble, cute kids, too. They informed me that Wanda Fast had married Kenneth Reese and they were running a hair dressing establishment at Ellis Island, apparently Wanda also likes the east. We landed on the old ball grounds in Angola and took the street car up town. To my delight 1 sat down beside a lady who happened to be Helen Cline, she was on her way to her summer home on Fox Lake where she has a beautiful park that is a wonderful addition to Angola. This park is to Angola the same as White City or Riverside is to Chicago. As we looked out the street car window 1 saw a sign which read. ADDED ATTRACTION TONIGHT HAZEL EASTERDAY (in person) FAMOUS NATIVE TOE DANCER. Also Plays Roll of LADY MacBETH in Opera Helen said we were very fortunate in getting her to come to such a small city and she was merely doing it in honor of the A. II. S. By this time I was very hungry so went in a restaurant where the sign read “Ruth Cook's Busy Bee. Open all Hours.” Ruth was looking fine but was much fatter and a little gray. She says she is president of the Katinka Cooks Union. Before I was through eating in came Clyde Spade, who has married Dorothy Myers ami they were ptaying at the Croxton Opera House this week in Mutt Jeff. Clyde has h:s full growth now. They ship him around in a special box car. He has two children and he calls them Rake and Hoe. I met Senator Boyers in the new Court House. She is up for reelection on the Socialist ticked. Beulah is a very brilliant woman you know, and 1 think she will get my vote. She said she thought Abraham Lincoln was right on the slavery |iiestion and also claims the scientist should learn the atomic theory. Listen Teddy, after an all days search 1 found only one more class mate and that was ex-convict Charles Crain, who has turned over a new leaf. He is now Reverend Crain of the Angola Christian church. He is (). K. except a few troubles with the females of his congregation. The following morning I took the inter-urban to Metz and here I found Ralph Fast, the Idol of the West, working out an invention in chemistry to be used by thriving children. You know, no doubt, that Ralph was the first one to have a successful perpetual motion machine. On my way back on the train, I stopped at Detroit, where I saw Leah Leininger. She
