(Class {IrnyluTii WVII. Ill Inst il U over! Our high scIum.I days have |»»«l «»d wc arc In11ik-IioI forth on Ilu sea ..f life. It »' indeed with kiiIikm (hut wo leave (lie ilonr ol.l B. T. II S.. for in spile of our ninny (rials ami trilnilu-tions. we have Ikvii linppv there ami in the years to come we will look hack with pleasure ii|hhi the happy days which we have spent there ami renienilier the llenton Township High School as one of the most delightful places connectcil with our lives. It is with a certain degree of sorrow that I think of nur couinienecmcnl as the last meeting ami final breaking up of the class of 'I?. Hut indeed il is just u coninteneciiient of our lives as men and women, ami there is no doubt in my mind that great things will lie accomplished by the nieinlicrs of the class as individuals. For installer t here is our president. Houston I lowell. the most |M piilar and ini|»ortanl mcnilKT of the class. Ho deserves a place in the world that is just as imjiorlant. I feel Mire that lie will attain this position in life and will live happily ever after as a waiter in I.uni Marlin's Cafe. Then there i Mary Baker, alias Henry . She has always taken such care of her hair and nails that I lielieve that she will make an c. |htI hair dresser and manicurist. I have always worried about Burleigh Seymour and his desire for Inniks and studies, lie is a veritable hook worm ami if lie does not give bis mind a rest he will lie a nervous wreck by the time lie is 41. Then then is Until Ami Wehh, Burleigh's op|K sitc and pros pi-dive cousin. She lielievcs in getting a good education ns iptickly as | ossil»lc lK fore she marries. Then Blanche, and with her. her marvelous voice; Blanche ami her voice should never Im separated. What else could we ex| eet of her than that she w ill lie a great o|H rvi singer, ami that we shall hear more of her anon? Anna Flaunigiin, the girl with the Irish in her eyes, charms everyone with her cooking. She deserves a |M»ition as high chef in a great hotel, where she will have an opportunity to use this gift to the lies! advantage. One would never think that Johnnie Aiken, that basket ball star, would Im- a sueeexsfnl business man. I believe that he has it in him and even a candy store in Whittington would not Im- lieyond his sii|ierior skill and judgment. I’aulim- Frier has Ikvii such a help to Miss Miteln-ll that I hardly see how Miss Mitchell can do without her. So I think that she will engage Pauline as her private secretary to help her grade Junior Hotel took s and Fnglish IV themes. Itlioda has always had a blind infatuation for Tim ( antroll. I lielieve that Tim is Itcgintiing to return this holing and I would not be surprised to hear they were to Im- united in marriage in the near future. As for Tim lie has lieeome interested of late in scientific farming, and I am sure that lie and Ulindu could find happiness on an up-to-date farm in southern Missouri. 31
