IF Having consulted the wise and all-knowing, but finding their wisdom in adequate to the exigencies of foreseeing the impossible, we most humbly submit the following unelucidated, perplexing perplexities for your cogitation. What would happen to Mr. Wrigley if Mr. Hancock resolved to abstain from the mastication of chewing gum? What would happen to grocery stores, cafe ' s and all other dispensers of edibles if Miss Messing decided to diet? Or what would happen if Eva Gross were to render a vocal selection from II Trovatore and Charles Dickinson were not present to hoist the lid of the grand piano? Or if Robert Cook should come to school in overalls? If Sonoma DeBeal made a recitation lasting less than five minutes? If Paul Thorpe should go to the Olympics as U.S. champion weight man? If Sam Berg traded his Ford in on a car? If Bernice Heckendorn said something out loud? If Evalyn Glass got a 1” on her report card? If Dolores England should cut her hair? If Lillian Cubley should sing “blues” over the radio? If the Arab shieks heard of Truman Fisher? If Beatrice Culberton s lesser half should put mouse-traps in his pockets at night? What would happen to the cross-country speed record, if Mr. Vaile should hear of a sale on radio parts in New York? Or if Herbert Key were to discover his blonde purchasing peroxide at Stanfield ' s? If Lyman Fink were to become a second Bluebeard? If Mryl Parker should become a soap-box orator? It Ely Peeler should bump his head on a chandelier? If Flo Ziegfield found Rita Campbell the possibility of the realization of his dream of a super-follies girl? If, while Carl Cooper was selecting a cigar, somebody should step on his fingers? If Ben Davis shoud be required to sing bass? If Ralph Woodward and Elaine Fett should go on the stage as Romeo and Juliet? If Ruby Coseboom could only realize her dream of “more men ? If Winona Warner and Annabelle Conlee should hunt big game in Africa? Sixteen

six girls who won the league tennis cup; four members of the league championship baseball team; six of the basketball letter girls; and three members of the all-school hockey team. McLean Gist and Ely Peeler won over one-half of the school ' s points in the Tri- Country Class C track! meet, thus bringing victory to C.H.S. Ely also took fourth at the Southern California High School track meet, being the first Corona man ever to take a place in the Southern California meet. The Seniors have quite naturally been responsible for practically all of the school activities this year. The girls carried off a large percentage of the honors in the athletic field by taking the basketball, volleyball, baseball, and tennis championships. Five out of the seven members of the Boys ' League championship basketball team were Seniors. Ely Peeler took first place in the “Class C” low hurdles at the S outhern California. And Bob Wood ran fifth in the 440 at the same meet. The school oratorical contest, this year, was won by Margaret Dibble who took third at the Riverside Country oratorical contest and second in Forensic with her splendid oration. Winona Warner took first place among sixty contestants in the Riverside County shorthand contest at Hemet. Six of the seven students debating for Corona High during ’27- ' 28 were Seniors. The music department attempted for the first time a light Opera. “Pinafore” was chosen and all leads except two were taken by Seniors. Perhaps the most important of all events beside Commencement in the life of a Senior is the Senior Play. The Seniors this year showed their intelligence and good judgment by choosing a really literary comedy, The Admirable Crichton by James Barrie. This play showed the ability of the class to put over something fine as it proved to be a huge success. And last but not least, eight of our class showed their fine scholastic ability by winning California Scholarship Federation Pins which were awarded for being mem- bers of the society for seven out of the eight possible semesters. These students are Margaret Dibble, Helen Lambeth, Evalyn Glass, Winona Warner, Frances Thompson, Charles Dickinson, Ely Peeler, and Lyman Fink. This year, 1927-28, has been a year of work and achievement in dear old C. H. S. And, although the underclassmen have had their part in it, all have found in the Seniors real guidance and leadership. Thus, each and every Senior is more than proud to have been a member of the class of ' 28 as it has lead the Student Body through the most successful year in the history of Corona High School.

If McLean Gist were serious each of the three hundred and sixty-five times last year that he said “I ' m off women for life ? If Orsolina Zilioli and Constance Hough tried to go through a doorway at the same time? If Ethel Buzan (Censored). What would happen to Margaret Dibble if Harry Taylor became a failure in the newsaper business being unable to obtain a position higher than editor of the Los Angeles Times? What would happen if Frances Thompson agreed with anyone? If Helen Lambeth discovered that the gentleman really prefers blonds after all? If Erna Hansen and Bertha Markowitz entered a Charleston Contest? If Doris Gersbach became embarrassed? If Eugene Blair discovered to his surprise that Clara Bow also had it ? If Ed Morrell’s mustache became entangled in the milkshaker? If the editor of the Whiz Bang should get hold of some of Leon Heredia s journalistic compositions? If Harry Gully contracted lock-jaw? If Robert Wood were to sell sandwiches to trans- Atlantic flyers? If Richard Rude should go out for athletics? If Mae Tisnerat and Selwyn Husted were elected yell leaders? If James Stevenson were to become president of the National Chemical Society. If a woodpecker found Mike Richards without a hat on? What would happen to the curls in Charles Lytle s hair if he forgot to turn h.s usual morning somersets on the corrugated iron roof? What would happen if Raymond Mulvane couldn t get a date? The way in which we have made the grade In the years of our high school life May determine the speed and even the goal As we enter a greater strife. We do not expect to conquer the world In an hour or even a day, But step by step and inch by inch We are on our upward way. Margaret Dibble Seventeen
