THEBELLEROPHON 11 fav 'lla CLASS PROPHECY On April tirst in the year nineteen hundred twenty-five, as I was taking my solitary walk to the Ridge. I noticed a bird which kept tlying over me and coming lower and lower. I had just been reading Matei-linck's Blue- bird and wondered if this bird could possibly be a bluebird which had comc to tell me of the land of the before or the hereafter. As the bird came lower I saw that it was a bluebird and in its beak' it held a small white booklet. Finally the bird tlew down and dropped before me the booklet which it held in its beak. I picked up the pamphlet and began to examine its contents. On the first page I read that our former coach, Hoskinson, had become President Hoskinson and was making a tour of the United States in his private aero- plane, accompanied by his wife and daughter, his private secretary, Donald Greulach. and the Secretary of State, Durbin Hertz. ln reading further about his tour I found that he had stopped in Chicago, to see Elsie Lee play in her latest success, The Girl Hack Home. While in the theatre he encountered another classmate of ours who was none other than Dorothy Armstrong, who played the pipe organ at hours when her family no longer needed her attention. Next I read a name which seemed as though I had heard it before-Pro- fessor Frederica Snyder. Ah, yes! NVhy that must be Frederick and now a world-renowned dancing master with all the leading movie stars as his scholars, among whom l tind another of our classmates, Helen Freck, but her name is now Madame Elaine DeWitt. I wonder if llelen found her ideal man with black hair and eyes, a wonderful piano player and dancer, while taking lessons of Frederick. Evidently so. Then as I turned the next page of the book I saw a picture of some beau- tiful tlowers and under the picture I read that these tiowers were grown by Glenn Friedly in his tiorist shop in the suburbs of Fort VVayne. Below this picture was an advertisement for pictures taken by radio. latest invention of Clarence Wise. It always did seem as though Clarence should gain something by his radio enthusiasm. There were several more advertisements on this page. but only two whose names were familiar and aroused my interest. These were both designers. The first was that of Mildred Denig, designer of fancy cookies, cakes and doughnut holes. The other was Monsieur Bucqles, designer of ladies' hats, dresses, coats, and other wearing apparel. Monsieur Bucqles had just returned from several years of study in Paris. On the following page I found an account of a bathing beauty contest at Atlantic City in which Clifford Lytle. a prominent New York lawyer, was the chairman of the committee of judges. Another interesting item was the latest prize tight in which Chalmer Rummel knocked out the South American champion. I guess Chalmer must have improved greatly because we remem- ber one time When a lady teacher knocked him out. Greatly to my surprise, I next read of the wonderful works of the sing- ing evangelist, Theophilus Giessler, and his relating of the inspiration he receives from his charming wife, Grace Balyard, who is acting as Superin-

THEBELLEROPHON 13 will W W3 SENIOR CLASS WILL We, the Senior Class of 1925, of Convoy High School, of the city of Con- voy, the state of Ohio. realizing that we have little time to spend in the high school, do hereby distribute our talents and possessions as we think it best. We have tried to show our generosity, impartiality, and wisdom in dispersing our natural gifts and belongings which have benetited us in our school life. We asked that you accept them with a sacredness and sincerity and use them as the departed would have them used. The following to-wit: To the Faculty, the feeling of relief which they enjoy when they awaken to the fact that we are no more. Herbert Schaadt gives to Wilbur Pancake his stand in with Marcile, his ability to keep out of the office to Vondale Terry. Leonard Weinmann is honored to allow Margaret Whitmer to continue with his ability to walk straight in the assembly, while his quiet disposition he thrusts upon Lawrence May. Grace Balyard gives to Delmar Van Horn her art of posing, with the hope that it will benelit him through the future years, while Erma Geissler is seen achieving her art of giggling. Ted Geissler bequeaths to Catherine Lare, Miss Benroth's exalted opinions of him and hopes that even Miss Benroth might take advantage of them, how reluctantly he yields to LeRoy Kreischer his Physics text, but l1e is assured that no harm will come to either. Ezra Klinger is to become the Senior shiek soon, as llarold llerl donates his tuxedoes and patent leathers to him. While Dale Martin no longer needs to sleep the time away, but sees it pass on his newly acquired wrist watch with which Harold was loath to depart. Be sure to wind it every night, Dale. Esther Muntzinger is at last to receive a quiet disposition from none othei than Elsie Lee. Be careful and do not misuse the gifts of the departed. James Hoaglin gives to Otis Bricker his Physics grades and we sincerely hope Otis will keep them up, perhaps will even cause rivalry in his class. Martha Shaffer leaves to her sister Mary all her old text books, untainted and unsoiled, but perused deeply from eover to cover. XYe hope Mary will use them as Martha would have wished. Charles Buckles bequeaths to Evelyn Reidenbach his ability to raise chickens. Long may she prosper in the henery. Charles' cartoonist ability passes to Elmer Campbell. Now may our hall of learning receive new decor- ations. Clitford Lytle gives his place in the C. Il. S. to John Marshall and asks him to fulfill it to the best of his ability.. May his length aid him in this. To Dale XVebb. Clifford leaves his attitude grades if Dale does not allow them to slip one iota. Alice Mollenkopf and Kathryn Dauler will henceforth always smile for who has bequeathed them such an art but Ruth Bell. Chalmer Rummel leaves to his brother Paul everything except his friend- ship with Glennis Ramsey: wishing l1i1n likewise success. Catherine Salmon. for rainy days, deposits one galosh at a time to Bessie Henny. while her craftiness with the needle and thimble goes to Charlotte Pancake. May you never stick your finger.
