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. MMCRYSTAL 1932 '

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
