ON Qtigx A' INTRODUCTION King Shahriyar, Commander of the Faithful, when he saw that night was being let down from Heaven, ordered his slaves to summon unto him his bride, Shrahrazad. And then Shrahrazad came unto him, and she was like a shining, full moon, and a flowery garden. King Shahriyar rose up from his silken couch and spake unto her thus: Know ye, O my queen, I weary for a tale. Thus you may entertain me, for this is our last night together. My vow must be kept. At the dawn you must die. Then Shrahrazad bowed down before him and answered him thus, List, O beloved, Prince of the Faithful, unto the tale I tell. Far to the West, if the sages and prophets speak truly, beyond the setting sun, there lies a bountiful land. It is a land of smiling fields and pleasant valleys and is known as the land of Ala-Cla-Hi. Here reigns the Queen of Queens, Josephine Ibn Fassett fextolled be the perfection of her, the like the sun never shone uponj. The great and populous empire is governed by the noble Grand Wezir El Franklin A Black. Under him, assisting in the ruling of Ala-Cla-Hi, are the distributors of the faith, the twelve Emirs of the Empire. Ala-Cla-Hi is a rich and wonderful land. Her scholars are the wisest in the West, her armies know not the meaning of defeat. Her women warriors are omnipotent, her men are like the lion in their bravery. Green and gold is their banner, it is cherished with passionate loyalty. Ala-Cla-Hi as a whole is divided into four parts. In the first, dwell the Abu-Es-Seniors. Near by, across the river of Examinations, lives the Bedr-l- Juniors. Everywhere, filling the land, is the tribe of Ali-Ed-Sophomores. The fourth tribe, the Freshmen, lives back in the green hills of Obscurity. The eldest and most powerful of all the tribes are the Abu-Es-Seniors. They are the lords of the Empire, they sit in the councils of the mighty. They are the dignified elders, the wisest in Ala-Cla-Hi. Heirs to their mag- nificent vice-royalties are the glorious Bedr-l-juniors. They are the brilliant aristocracy, the cleverest, most cultured of Ala-Cla-Hi. Like unto the mer- chants of our Araby is the third class, the Ali-Ed-Sophomores. They are a bustling, energetic tribe, the moral support and the backbone of the great, rich land of Ala-Cla-Hi. They are everywhere, in the army, in the executive Great Council, and in all the organizations of the nation, Their one great gift is the ability to produce money from nowhere. Back in the mountains live the youngest of the sons and daughters of Ala-Cla-Hi. They are the Freshmen, who, as it is willed by the Fates, shall some day occupy the lands of the Abu-Es-Seniors.

And how excellent are thy ponderous decisions. There is no animadverting upon thee with respect to thy judgment, and thy domin- ion. Thou art not to be questioned in the righteousness of thy utterances, for the beloved of Heaven can do no wrong. Glory to thy magnificence, whom the vicissitudes of times do not destroy, to whom no change happen- eth, and who alone art distinguished by the attributes of perfection.

What a pleasure indeed to return home on that long-hoped-for vacation, after pounding typewriter keys for twenty long years in Elmer Ackerman's clearing house in New York. I sailed along happily in a plane piloted by the famous aviatrix, Gertrude Fredrick. Gert, kind-hearted as ever, let me ride for half price regardless of weight. As we drifted along I read the latest novel and best seller of the clay, Life Work and Love Letters of Mr. Black , a book written by Marguerite Schmidlin. This book was a smashing success, and Marg was now riding in a Rolls Royce. While stopping for passengers in Cleveland I noticed a very fat lady take the seat opposite me. With a cheerful giggle, she exclaimed, Why, Vogie, is it really you ? I scrutinized her closely and found her to be my old pal, Kathleen Stadler. As we chatted Kate told me that she was working as fat lady in Glen Susorls circus. We sat reminiscing of days spent in Clay High until we reached the airport in Bono, which was under the management of Arthur Kontak. We left the plane and entered Arthur's office, where he and Horace Metzger, the airport cab-driver, sat playing checkers. They were so interested in the game that they didn't notice us until a terrible commotion arose outside. We went out and found Howard Zeh, the great lecturer on A Woman's Place Is in the Home , arguing with Igerna Heckart, who owned a hot dog stand near by. Arthur called Police Sergeant Gene Martin, who arrested both of them for disturbing the peace. Horace took Kate and me to the jackson Hotel, managed by Vivian jackson. We registered and on our way to the elevator passed the switch- board. There sat Helen Baymiller as contented as could be, lazily chewing gum and plugging the numbers. Helen greeted us warmly, and while chat- ting with her we heard someone cry, Extra! Snake Bites Mistress. EXTRA! EXTRA! I ran forward and purchased a paper from a ragged peddler who was none other than Florence Hess. I eagerly read the glaring headlines and found that Mary Metzger, known as Mazda the Snake Charmer, had been bitten by her pet python, Jewel , while feeding it. The article stated that the bite was not serious and that Mary would be all right in a few days. After spending the night in the hotel I set out early the next morning to revisit old scenes. The first person I met was Ethel Amsler. Ethel asked me to visit her school in the Russian settlement in Toledo where she taught French. After listening to those poor little Russians struggle through a few irregular verbs, I sneaked out the door unnoticed and hurried up the street. I ran headlong into a tall, husky sailor-my old friend, Edward Metzker. After a hearty greeting Eddie asked me to go slumming with him. While leisurely strolling along Eddie told of his last trip to Hongkong where he CRYSTAL 1932 Ml-. I T wiv-.r Q ' P 3255 is.ve.QeiveeHae9mezv1e:e 'ss ' if visited Ronald Kohn, a missionary. He said Ron was having a terrible time with the cannibals there. QThat must have been a sailor's yarn because who ever heard of cannibals in Hongkonglj Posted on nearly every street corner were announcements of the opening of Ruth Kohne's night club in Momeneetown. Ruth's club was to star Lillian Huss, world-renowned violinist, and Violet Burow, crooner and ballet dancer. We entered a small tearooin and found Paul Longenecker, Toledo's greatest artist, and his model, Lillian Perry, sitting at a table enjoying their daily lunch. They were very enthusiastic over the new picture they were working on, which was to advertise Jagger's Toilet Articles. Eddie and I left them talking of art and sauntered down the street. We met Stanley Bourdo, Toledo's most famous miser. Stanley fit was rumoredj had millions salted away but was out street cleaning in disguise as a poor man. Stan was just as great a talker as always, and soon we were arguing on the labor question. A very mannish woman strolled up and, taking me by the arm, separated Stan, Eddie, and me. I recognized her as Dolores Grosjean, the prominent lawyer, about whom I had heard so much. She stepped into the argument, and I walked away, somewhat hurt to think that an old friend like Dolores would, for her own pleasure, shoulder me out of a perfectly good argument. I wandered down the street and joined a large crowd gathered around an organ grinder. I watched the antics of the monkey for a while and then turned to the organ grinder. It was none other than Edna Stroh. But who would have thought itl She was fair and fat but not quite forty. Edna stopped playing, and the crowd scattered. She explained to me that this was the most profitable business in which she had ever engaged. She said she was making more money than Lucille Schacht, who invented Never-Sharp Barber Shears. Speaking of barber shearsf' said she, that reminds mee-have you vis- ited Alice Lentz's beauty parlor? It is only a little way down the street. She has a wonderful business taking care of her two customers, Catherine Molnar and jack May. They both are mechanics in Catherines garage and go to Alice's every day for manicuresf' I left Edna to her grinding and ambled happily along the street. My attention was attracted by a sign which read, Bodi's Hair Snippin' Shop. Hair cuts cheap. Deciding I was badly in need of a hair cut, I entered, and Melvin started to cut my hair, talking much faster than he worked. He became so excited that he cut into the collar of my new gown. I rushed to the telephone and called Sheriff Otto Becker, who came at once. An argument ensued, and as the two were still good friends, I was again getting the worst of the deal. Well, I shall never know how it ended because at that moment the alarm rang, and I had to get up. So it was just a dream after all, and time alone will tell whether dreams come true. if CRYSTAL 1932 ff Page Twenfy .re zen fx PS ya. 54 Q x Q--cg i N f' f'l Senior Class History It is council meeting. The grave and wise Abu-Es-Seniors, soon to leave the fair land of Ala-Cla-Hi, have assembled. The grand President-Sultan, flanked on either side by the vice-president-Sultana and the Wizer of Ala- Cla-Hi, presides. The scribe of the Seniors, Mary Metzger, arises and begins the wondrous tales of the adventures of the tribes. Hark unto the tale she tells. It is a story of strange occurrences-this history of the class of '32. Back in the ages, we, a band of students, the tribe of the Freshmen, migrated to the land recently vacated by the tribe, now the Ali-Ed-Sopho- mores. Soon an order -arrived from the Queen of Queens that we must restrain our joys, and we settled down to become hard-working students. At a council meeting we elected our viceroy and sent representatives to the great assembly of Ala-Cla-Hi. We chose a scarlet and white banner upon which were woven the words Loyalty and Courtesy . Then we settled down to enjoy our sojourn in the province of the Freshmen. Sometimes there were pleasant days when we made merry under sunny skies, and some- times there were storms and rainy weather. Toward the end of our career as Freshmen, a terrible cloudburst known as the Storm of Examination struck us. The lightning flashed, the thunder roared, and many of our mem- bers were drowned. After weathering this terrible tempest, we set out on our second migra- tion-to the land of the Ali-Ed-Sophomores. There was a gay age, which marked the fourth year of the existence of Ala-Cla-Hi. It marked the debut of the famous Cheerleader as a news- paper and the first appearance of the Crystal . On November first we enjoyed a pleasant time at our Sophomore Frolic, and on February 22 were entertained by our brother tribesmen, the Seniors. But the days passed, and soon we were ready to take up our abode in the land of the juniors. We were now upper classmen and took an active part in the functions of Ala-Cla-Hi. On October third we gathered by the great ocean that encircles the world at Baume Beach and ate our fill at a Great Feast of the Butchered Hounds. Cn November 14, we produced before an enraptured audience our glori- ous class play, Let's Have Some Excitement , and on April 10th The Optimist . So ended our third year in the beautiful land of Ala-Cla-Hi. We now ascended to the high seats of the Seniors-the favored chairs in Assembly. In February we were entertained by Miss Harris at her home. Later in the year we presented our annual class play. The time is at hand when we must leave Ala-Cla-Hi, for the hour of Commencement is near. With hopeful, yet sorrowful hearts, with a stern front, we will face the future. So farewell, fellow Seniors, and God be with you.

It is a glorious tribe, and all the world marvels at its strength, and numbers, and wisdom. In wisdom it is like unto that of Allah himself, in strength as the might of the ocean, and in numbers as the sands of the seashore. Hark unto what is here recorded in the second chapter of thegBook of Classes. So let us speak in the words of the scribe of the Bedr-l-juniors. We are proud to be juniors. In the days when men were young we entered this land as Freshmen. We assembled from the far corners of the world. From far to the North, from the land bordering on the great sea that encircles the earth, known to the learned as Lake Erie, came the Wynn- Er-Rashids. From the South came the Coy-l-Muzaffars, and from the under- world came the Clay-El-Basrahs and from Mt. Zion, by the waters of the rolling Jordan, came the children of Jerusalem Township. After a tempestuous season we went up unto 209 and down to 200 becoming the arrogant Sophomores. Those who survived the storms and temptations of life returned to become the powerful Juniors. We inherited Mrs. Packer as class adviser, and Mr. Wareham was do- nated to us by the Queen of Queens. At the Hrst great assembly in the vice-regal court of the juniors we chose leaders for our wanderings. We also sent six venerable sheiks to the High Council of Sages. With our customary zeal we boldly faced all the trying problems that confront every Junior. On December 5 after many months of labor and profound deliberation we produced our annual class play, The Wasp's Nest . Later we entertained our departing brethren, the aged Seniors, at a recep- tion. We also participated in all the social activities and extra-curricular activities sponsored by the Ala-Cla-Hi. Now the spring has come. We have passed through the deserts of Solid Geometry, have scaled the mountains of Latin and French, and have con- quered all the obstacles that surround us. Ahead lies the turbulent River of Examinations. We are loath to leave the land of the juniors for it is a pleasant land. It lies in the Valley of Eternal Smiles and is washed by the Seas of Mutual Acquaintanceship and Kindly Feeling. From the mountain tops we can see a promised land, a celestial kingdom, rich, and powerful, and magnificent. We are the royal heirs to that land- The Land of Senior-ship. .

I 9 A ' : .7 n Ill K.: History of the Tribe of Ali-Ed Sophomores of Ala-Cla-Hi It is told that one day in the fall of the year, there came unto the two Emirs who governed that part of Ala-Cla-Hi inhabited by the Ali-Ed-Sopho- mores, eighty of that little-known tribe called by the elders, Freshmen. Know, O Emirs, they said, that we, having wearied of our barren hills, have come to you, asking that we may dwell in this better land of the Ali-Ed-Sophomores. We have crossed the turbulent river of Examination, we have traversed a wilderness of grade-cards, but we have conquered all. Do not say us nay. Now let it be known that the two Emirs, the fairtColinne Anderson, and the illustrious Paul E. Clapper, were ruling a land devoid of people, for the tribe which formerly had its abode there had Hed to the smiling valley where dwell the Bedr-l-juniors. So they accepted the eighty wild Freshmen within their sacred precincts, and bade them organize a tribe that should be worthy of the name Ali-Ed-Sophomoresn. A chief, Anscel Reihing, soon arose to lead his people. Assisted by Paul Routson and two of Ala-Cla-Hi's women warriors, Hermine Hess and Edna Jacobs, he soon made the tribe of Ali-Ed-Sophomores one of the foremost of the land. The Ali-Ed-Sophomores were a fun-loving people. To entertain them, their chief called a feast night on which was to be held The Feast of the Slaughtered Dogs . This was to have been an occasion of a magnilicence surpassing all other occasions, but Allah willed it otherwise, he sent down his rain from Heaven, and the feast was what is termed in the language of Ala-Cla-Hi, a Hopf But know, O Ye Uninformed, that the Ali-Ed-Sophomores were not to be overcome by trifles. They held a Dance of the Dervishes in which all participants vowed to walk a mile for a cake. Not only their own tribe was summoned to attend, but all the other tribes of Ala-Cla-Hi as well. From the four corners of the nation came the Ali-Ed-Sophomores, the Bedr-l- juniors, the wild Freshmen-yea, even the Abu-Es-Seniors. All alike, joyous Freshmen or dignified Abu-Es-Seniors, were swept into the Dance of the Dervishes . And Allah willed that the affair should be a success. CRYSTAL 1932 V V l'f1 gn' T0 ,V-flu !

We found it to be a lofty place with vast apartments into one of which we doubtfully herded ourselves. It was very dangerous to stay here, but to prolong our lives as long as we could we chose james Eells as Sinbad, he being as tall as a palm tree and able to care for his sailors. Wfe made the palace resound with our shouts and cheers, our complaints and our groans. Indeed, we chose four good men and true to represent us in the Council of the All High. Having spent much time in this palace and no longer being in such cruel uncertainty as to our fate, we gave ourselves over to joy in the form of a celebration of a heathen saint, Hallowe'en . Clothed in our best linens and brightest turbans Sinbad and his sailors made merry in our best Persian manner. S By some miracle unknown to all but the rulers, the sailors, weary from much bruising and labor among the unaccustomed rocks of Latin, Mathe- matics, Science, and English came, escaping the many Cannibals called E's, to their point of embarkation proudly bearing the appellation Sophomore Arabs . lhqi' I ll .,. 4 vsf, , P yy 9Hvk:'f:'w:66He, X r, 5 , .. , , ox W, , ,,.

The club met once a month and by means of round table discussions, lectures, reports, and work periods they studied such topics as morals and social ethics, physical and mental recreation, hobbies, and professional op- portunities open to girls and women. A part of each meeting was devoted to some sort of entertainment and having refreshments.

So sweet is it that the music of the waves lapping on the shore, or the breeze sighing in the cypress tree, is not sweeter. There are no more excellent musicians than those of Ala-Cla-Hi. Under the direction of the Wizard, Ralph Runyan, they can charm or break the hearts of those who list to them.

So she and the Grand XVizer, both blessed with wisdom far beyond the conception of average human beings, summoned the honorable directors of athletics to sit in council to meditate upon this ponderous subject. Many times did the sun roll in its course, did the dew fall from Heaven, and the dawn spring from the East. Finally an edict went out from the sanctuary of sanctuaries stating that a system had been devised so that students would receive a certain number of points for participation in each sport. Those receiving HSl6iSl6I6lS9l9ISH6l6ISlS!5lSI91i Q I L 'cb IL Sly!-if-lfun qw 'X 'N ' f' f'I the greatest number should receive a school letter. The plan was accepted eagerly and put into practice. Now in the third year intramural athletics have grown to be one of the most important functions of the school. Points are given in soccer, indoor, tennis, horseshoe, archery, and gymnastics. Tennis is one of the most popular of sports, and every noon the stalwart sons and daughters of Ala-Cla-Hi are busily engaged on its courts. The tournament, however, was not finished completely. Boys, soccer was also organized and made good progress until the finals were about to be played. Allah, however, could wait no longer and was forced to let Winter ascend his throne. The snow and rain fell, and the wide fields were no longer usable. The points were divided among the four teams tied for first place. The girls, however, played soccer in their gym classes only. Basketball teams were organized when the weather prevented leaving the building. Those winning first place in the boys' competition were Welsh, Schupp, M. Bodi, E. Roberts, Kontak, and R. Kohn. The team was coached by Durward Huss. The girls' basketball team taking first place consisted of Enderlin, Wiemeyer, Walters, Bruggeman, Krueger, Nightingale, Welsh, P. Ferrenberg, and Hosley, They were coached by Dorothy Callihan. Volley ball followed basketball. George Parker's team won first place. His team consisted of Martin, May, Cannon, Edgar, Settlemeyer, Zeh, Dohms, N. lrmen, and Walters. The girls taking first place were Dreier, Major, Page, Penhorwood, Schmaltz, Shelles, Wilhelm, Koester, and Susor. Ellen Susor was captain. The boys taking first place in indoor in the fall competition were Eells, Roberts, H. Bodi, Schupp, M. jackson, Beaty, Jones, J. Romstadt, R. john- son, Ellis, and Eschedor. Eells was captain. The girls taking first place in the first tournament of the fall were Cook, Dearsman, Lowry, Martin, M. Metzger, A. Slaughterback, E. Susor, M. Smith, M. Schmidlin, Brower, and V. Wolfe. Horseshoe last fall was a popular sport. The girls who participated in this branch of intramural athletics were Page, Hosley, Kowalka, Lentz, Wilhelm, and Eulkerson. Catherine Ten Eycke was captain, and Jeanette Momenee manager, of the team that took first place in archery last autumn. The athletic directors of the school are assisted somewhat in their duties by an athletic committee composed of four members of the Student Council. They help to decide the giving of points, sponsor pep meetings, candy sales at games, and other things. The intramural program of Clay High is one of the most extensive in the county. lizqi' Sufi H1 gh 95 Cl new e 'N - fl fi Boys' Basketball lst Ruw: Durwartl Hass, Gerald Hartman, Elmer Ackerman, Howard Routson, Glen Susor.

This is a popular sport for her children who love to out-dis- tance the winds in their flight and to leap higher than the mountains that tower toward Heaven. Last year at the great track meet of the nations the green and gold had reigned supreme and the glorious women warriors of Ala-Cla-Hi had borne home the Cup of Victory. The program of the Amazonian heroes consisted of two running events, the shuttle relay, the Hfty-yard dash, and the basket- ball and indoor throws. But Ala-Cla-Hi moves ever forward, and this year the program includes, besides those mentioned above, the hop-step-and-jump race, the potato race, shot-put, indoor pitching for accuracy, and indoor batting for distance. The following are members of the track squad this year: Schmidlin, jaschob, C. Koester, Lajti, Schacht, Heckart, V.Rumbaugh, Dysert, Schaneck, Page, Kowalka, Callihan, L. Perry, D. Wescott. Last year, however, the goddess, Good Fortune, did not smile so sweetly on our men as on our women. It was willed by the fates that the rain should fall on the important day of the track meet. Thus the occasion was a swim- ming event, not a track meet. The runners were forced to compete, between the showers, on a practically ruined track. The green and gold placed Well in the preliminaries, winning many first and second places in the running events. The events open to the boys this year are: the javelin throw, shot-put, pole vault, broad and high jump, the 880-yard relay, and the dashes, which include the 100-yard, the 220-yard, the 440-yard, and 880-yard dashes. The boys who are members of the track squad this year are: Parker, Hartman, S. Bourdo, H. Routson, P. Routson, Newman, Smeltzer, Draper, R. Eschedor, D. Eschedor, C. jackson, Grimm, Eells, C. Becker, H. Metzger, Vilhauer, and E. Ackerman. For the benefit of those girls who were not retained on the varsity track squad, and who did not wish to participate in some other sport, an intra- mural track team was organized. This was recognized as part of the intra- mural track program. Mr, Morse and Mrs. Bradford are the track coaches. l'rIlL'i' Sm' 1111 I ' 1 1 f -f '- fcRvsTAL ww W K 5 MK P ig Q2 ,CSQX fel X I A T K xx K wk fel Qu Ari NN L e V 0 X I e1 W - N XX f OL fy X!

At that time there was in the court of the Caliph a princess whose beauty excelled that of all other mortal maidens. Kings fought for her favor. Khoonoo-shah, like all the rest, became enamoured of her charms, and, wishing to present her with some magnificent gift the like of which had never been seen before, he took a fond farewell, and, jumping upon his magic carpet, he wished himself in some land of the future. The carpet immediately transported him here and dumped him overboard. As soon as he was sufiiciently recovered he got up and set out to find some curiosity in this strange place to take back to the lovely Peri- zadeh.

Clapper and Mr. Black But although Khoonoo-shah howled and raged, the whole of his father's fortune could not buy these priceless treasures, so jumping back upon his magic carpet he was again transported into his own day and age. Going empty handed to the princess he told her what bad luck he had had. But Perizadeh replied, Beloved one, you yourself are the most priceless object on the face of the earth, also the most curious. Vlfhatever do you think I could have done with all those creatures you've been telling me about ?

RU N, N 0x 1 fl f'l Horoscopes The works of Hassan En Isenz, one of Persia's greatest astrologers, who lived in the days of the Sultan Schah Vimout, have been discovered recently. Among them is a manuscript devoted entirely to star lore. It seems that the great man, after an extensive study of the stars during a grave fall from the window of his observation tower, had arrived at a number of original conclusions, which, for the benefit of science and of humanity, we will set forth briefly upon this page in the words of the astrologer himself. Thus, Hassan: The Zodiac sign under which a person is born has the power to govern his life from his birth until the time when he must enter Paradise or Hotana. Why, then, should man strive against the will of Allah? Wlrat is to be, shall be. As my worthy teacher, the great Mutaf Ben Off, once remarked: 'Life is but a dream. Wlry make it a nightmare? It is the will of Allah that it be given to me to read in the stars the fates of men, which I will now set forth to all. Find your sign among those which I shall list, and read your fare as Allah has willed it. Aquariusgjanuary 18th-February 17th: Men born under this sign are sure to become hen-pecked husbands. The women, not being of the type which talks back, should make ideal wives. Persons born under this sign should not try to be the life of the partym as it does not lie in their nature. Piscesflfebruary 17th-March 21st: Persons born under this sign are generally Hirtatious. However, to offset this tendency, they possess good judgment. They should be good dancers. Aries!-March 21st-April 23rd: Anyone born under the sign of the Ram is sure to prosper, for he is not usually too liberal with money. Taurus-April 23rd-May 23rd: These people know what they want, and get it, too. Gemini4May 23rd-June 22nd: Persons born under this sign are inclined to be lidgety. This type is the plague of school teachers the world over, as it cannot sit still in a class room. Suggested remedy: flatiron tied to one ankle if a ball and chain cannot be procured. Cancerfjune 22nd-july 21st: The person whose birthday falls under this sign is the sort that always looks on the bright side of life. Can anything better be said? Leo-July 21st-August 21st: If your birthday falls under this sign, you are very much in danger of developing an inferiority complex. You need a good, hard pat on the back every once in a while to bolster you up. Virgo4August 21st-September 23rd: These people can always see the funny side of everything. This is a very nearly perfect type. Sibra-September 23rd-October 26th: These are the kind of people who are always popping with bright ideas. Scorpio-October 26th-November 25th: Beware making an enemy of anyone born under the sign of Scorpio. He never forgives an insult, nor does he forget the person who did the insulting. Sagittarius4November 25th-December 22nd: Very brainy type. Sure to get the best end of a deal. Capricornus December 22nd-january 18th: Stubbornness is a characteristic of those born under the sign of the goat. They stick to anything they undertake with bulldog ferocity. Should make excellent bas- ketball and football players. s ' rfCRYSTAL1932eeeem so l zgfzfy-Iwo ..g 4 J VI J 9 ' J L.

In the course of his wanderings he visited the land of Ala-Cla-Hi. A few of his acute observations and bits of sage philosophy have been handed down to posterity and are here recorded. List to some of his startling statistics. There are 265 students in Ala-Cla-Hi. Of these, 3 go to school to learn, SS go to have a good time, 47 go because of parental orders, 30 go to play basketball, and 100 go because they have no other place to go. Mr. Clapper wears a size ten shoe. Mr. Black is 6 feet 1 inch in height, and 1 foot 6 inches in circumference. Mr. Potter has broken 36 feminine hearts. For lunch Elmer Ackerman eats 10 sandwiches, I bale of hay, 2 tin cans, and 6 pounds of other goat feed. Mrs. Packer now eats I lettuce leaf and 2 drops of orange juice. Miss Fassett's middle name is really Cooperation. It takes Edward Moritz exactly 50 seconds to go to sleep in study hall. Melvin Vilhauer can cover the central hall in 16 steps. Charlotte Ulrich believes in Santa Claus. The sophomores have an inferiority complex. Miss Harris conducts a class in religion, history, philosophy, public speaking. agriculture, home economics, sociology, nature study, chemistry, English, and l.atin the seventh hour. Last year, 5 seniors died of overwork. Martha St. john has decided that her trombone is her crazy bone. There are 151.1 men in Ala-Cla-Hi and 1065.1 boys. Paul Routson is as innocent as he looks. Ronald Kohn is afraid of the dark. Edna Dreier's last name is still Dreier. George Beaty is fond of angel food cake. The seniors are not unhappy because they are leaving Clay High, but because they fear they may Hunk and have to come back next year. Mr. XX!areham's last name is not Mr. Viform, as insinuated by several Freshmen. Mrs. Bourdo still washes Ray Bourdo's ears. The Seniors are still fresh men after four years. The Crystal staff really works hard. The freshmen will actually be sophomores next year. Gertrude Fredrick can reach high C on her giggle. john Huston can fry eggs. eieeieioao sieiezezexoc of o' 'o is Page Eighfy-Mme 5. N , . f-, , ,,-, ,, , g 3-Tux K ,MN 1 'N 4: The Garden of Talking Flowers In the garden of the Queen of Queens there bloom flowers of many varieties. Some are very beautiful, some are sweet, some are bright, and some are hardy. All are being cultivated. The Queen of Queens has a staff of able gardeners, but often she can be seen working in the early morning sunshine digging away the weeds of slothfulness from such tender plants as joseph Airesman, Clarence Ankele, and Homer Bodi. Some of the blossoms which flourish in the garden are sources of great worry, especially those which bloom most riotously in 205 during the seventh hour of the day. Among this motley assemblage are the rambling roses, Robert Popp, Edward Roberts, Anscel Reihing, and Dave Bruggeman, the roses which simply need to sit still and bloom for the pleasure of passers-by, Hermine Hess, Edna Jacobs, Marguerite Hofbauer and Edith Armour. There are also sweet little pansies which annoy the gardener exceedingly because they fiirt with the passion flowers. Among these are Frances Lovell, Isabelle Cooley, and Dorothy Hintz. The garden, as anyone can see, is simply bubbling over with daisies. For example: Claribel Koester, Beryl Major, and Margie Quigg. The Queen of Queens is especially proud of her Sweet Williams. They are Williain johnson, Williaiii Cannon, Williain Hofbauer, and Williziin Sandusky. The violet bed is guarded carefully for in it are only two shy little flow- ers, Violet Burow and Violet Rumbaugh. No garden is really complete without a nightingale, and the Queen of Queens is fortunate in the possession of two. They are Florence and Homer Nightingale. ln the garden are tall, queenly flowers, Mary Metzger, Florence Hess, and Katherine Stadler, bright, jolly flowers, Luella Page, Catherine Molnar, Gene Martin, and Jeannette Momeneeg and sweet, quiet flowers, Gertrude Fredrick, Eleanor Graser, Alice Enderlin, Rosella Ennis, and Helen Ko- walka. There are many other flowers too numerous to name. But the Queen of Queens loves and cares for each and every flower alike. eewseefaeaerar2racRysTAL 1932 eee L gfhty-fozn' vs - Y . ie' A VQQILVQV 'VLQVQVLVSVQVQJQVQI P 'f -'-Q'-1'4'4'Q 4'4J'QF2lQ'3'a'.:'-, If IVsviviviviV'wwtvw4 ivivlvivi A Nxt i . 4. ,I ,lic ,.c ,X ixflvxxfixmfi i Q 'NN f' f'O IF I WERE If I were president of the United States I would in six months see that every man had a job.
