A REVERIE OF THE PAST fffffff NNNXXY Scene-Lower hall, high school building. Two Seniors meet and dis- cuss the past and present. T. M. Hello there, Ray Price, glad to see you this bright and cheer- ful day. How are you, anyway? R. P. Oh, I'm all right, Doc., you look happy, what's afloat old man? Were you fussin' last night? T. M. No, I am going to to-night. R. P. Aw, you crumb. Where is all the bunch? I have been all over town and can't find anybody. Must be resting up a little. T. M. It is sucha peachy day that every one feels lazy. Well, I sup- pose to-morrow we will have to put on a clean collar, shine our shoes, 'slick our hair down and step over to the brick church after our sheep-skins. R. P. Yes, I suppose so. Say, Doc, when you think about things seriously, it seems rather queer that we have really finished old High School. Haven't we had some great larks? T. M. Well yes, it hasn't been all Work. There are not very many left from the bunch that graduated from the eighth grade, are there? R. P. No, I should say not. Only about eight, I guess. You and I have hung to the water-wagon all right. Say, what a tearing time We used to have when we were in that class! . T. M. I guess I remember that all right. That was When most of the kids got the fussin' idea, wasn't it? Only they didn't call it that then. Do you remember Check Vincent? R. P. Yes! He was the guy that always liked to sit with the girls. I wonder where he is now. I T. M. I think he lives at Woodburn. And there is Fenton Star too, but it would take forever to mention all of them. Fent didn't enter high school at all, did he? R. P. No. But he has a soft thing-clerking in Johnson and Hunter's grocery up town. I T. M. Yes. Saving money to get married I suppose. That is a swell girl he has. I R. P. Harriette Foster made quite a hit in The Senior this year, didn't she? She is one of our eighth grade acquaintances, too. T. M. Right you are, boy, and speaking of The Senior reminds me that Evelyn the Leading lady was one of the old bunch, too. As Eleanor Forbes, she was just about perfect, believe me. Mac McHenry had a part in the play, too. We were well represented all right. I guess that is about all of us that are left. R. P. No. Mamie Harper is another. And we mustn't forget Faye Barzee. A

T. M. Yes, and Axtell also, but I guess that is all. R. P. Didn't we raise things when we called ourselves High-school Students? Always noted for the worst class in school and if any thing happened they always knew where it originated. Class fights, etc.. T. M. Great high school we had for a year. One room on the top iioor, in the southeast corner of the old Central School, but when the new High School was completed we tried to buy out the town. R. P. Wasn't much happened the first year. Guess we were too green. T. M. I had the most fun when I was a Soph. There was something doing every minute, especially when the faculty decided that we were having too much fun. R. P. I'1l say we had a time. I know why you had such a roaring good time when you were a Soph. T. M. Well, why? R. P. That was when you met J--. T. M. Oh, get out! That was when troubles began. Har! Har! We have several new ones in the class this year and several more that came during the Soph and Junior years. R. P. Yes, there are a few all right. Our friend Dunk for instance- and there is old Steve. He just came here this year. Mighty good fel- lowg the boys all like him. ' T. M. Yes, and so does Blushes. They are getting to be some fussers all right. R. P. Steve was Gordon Wainwright in the play this year, wasn't he? T. M. You're right. Say, sometimes I wonder if that fellow's name is Earl Schuster or just SteVe. Every one calls him that. R. P. We certainly have some large class this year, more than double the number of the past two years. And, girls! my sakes, there are just about twice as many as there are boys. Lets count them up and see. T. M. Sail into it. Bernice Corrie precedes in size, if nothing else. She says she is going to be a school-ma'am, but I know better. Too much of a fusser. Lena Wolcott and Coral Garvin are some more that are go- ing to be school-ma'ams. Coral was always fussin' with Dunk. R. P. Lena Wolcott will make a good one. She taught our history class two or three times. That makes three. Then there is Irene Ollis, the girl with the fuzzy-wuzzy brown hair and pink cheeks, and Gladys Rice the big girl with the heap of light hair. T. M. Hold on there. We'll get to finding characteristics and forget to count. How many was that? R. P. Five. Then, Ivy Witzig, Laura Tadlock, and Lera Newton make eight. Laura Tadlock and Lera Newton were great pals. T. M. Marie Andrews and the two girls that always wear blue sailor dresses. Guess who they are. R. P. Oh, that is easy. Jean Bell and Charline Beck. Come on down the alphabet. Lila Chase, Helen Corl, and Dorothy Cook. Isn't
