PROPHECY The other day while I was looking over my annual, which I received while a senior at E. P. H. S„ many pleasant memories were brought to mind. I recall the fun that I had participating in sports and many other activities which 1 know I will never repeat. As 1 turned the pages which were turning yellow with age. I thought of the seniors with whom 1 had graduated. As I now recall, it has been twenty years since that memorable day when I received my diploma with the other members of my class. It really seems funny because just the other day I received news of the members of that class, and their occupations have changed from those they started out to be. George Watson has given up being a coal man and after he finished his education, he turned out to be one of the country’s leading veterinarians. and so far his home life is as successful as his business life. Hill Mantor gave up pin-setting at the bowling alley and went to Colorado University, where he finished his education, and is now teaching Romance languages and literature in Spain. Earl Baird took his time about going to college, but when he did he took up zoology and is now the head of the staff at the Zoological Gardens in China. He has settled down and is now raising a lot of little zoologists. Ed Reed, who was an old cow hand from the National Park and the guy who could shoot straight as an eagle with a camera, entered Northwestern Medical School and at the present time is practicing Ophtoal-mology. He and his two sons, who are just as alike as two peas in a pod, find much time to kick a football around the grounds of their estate. Hill Haggerty, who favored red ties and Russia, is the Bolshevik president of Russia. Jack Stith. who used to sit in his English classes and say that he couldn't see why people wasted their time reading and writing poetry, is now the country's leading nature poet; and many of his poems have been collected into a volume so that the youngsters can also enjoy them, lie says that he really enjoys the beauty of nature, and he will always visit the Park so that he may become better acquainted with it. Red Waite, who used to think that everyone he studied about was not all there, is now head of the California Psychopathic Hospital. He enjoys his work very much. Virginia Baxter, who was an exceptional student in all her studies, spent some of her time at Colorado State College where she studied animal husbandry. She is now trying to show no favoritism to either the animals or her husband. Jean McIntyre, who used to have an enjoyable time in school doing what she should, took a course in botany at Colorado College and is now trying to put a few of her book-learnings into practice with the aid of her family. Joyce Sawdey decided that it would be a lot of fun to be an explorer, so after her graduation from college, she got a group of men together and set out to see what caused volcanic ash to be hot and what caused it to be shot into the air. —Earl Baird and Hill Haggerty.

LAST WILL AND TESTAMENT All seems dark and gloomy, but it is just the hand that fate has dealt out to the class of '38. The class knows well of its passing from the present high school and is mournfully giving its vital things to the needy persons in the up-and-coming classes. It is only with great sadness that the noble seniors will their prize possessions to their underclassmen. The will the class has to offer is for the future benefit of the Estes l’ark High School and each and every student inside its stone walls. We are only too pleased to see these fortunate students have these valuable gifts of honor. As a starter the senior class as a whole offers to the up-and-coming senior class of next year the ability to get cooperation during class meetings and any other activity in which they participate. They also leave the great number of A's they have gotten during their school years to the junior class. Earl Baird leaves to Bernerd Dannels his ability to get his women. Virginia Baxter leaves her ability to get A's to George Hurt. She also leaves her charming figure to Joe Fulton. Bill Haggerty is so kind that he wants Tommy Stith to have his ties to wear to school in the future. To Charley Robbins he leaves his levelheadedness. Bill Mantor leaves his studying ability to the will-be sophomore (maybe), Mr. Byron Sawdey. Ed Reed to Dan Byrd hands his he-man build so that Dan will make the football squad this fall. To Alvin Mundt comes George Watson's long legs and broad shoulders. He also leaves his driving ability to Eleanor Brinkley. (She needs it.) Jean McIntyre would like Darlene Carmack to have her necking ability. She also leaves her scholastic ability to Harvey Hurt. Bill Waite should like J. C. Caldwell to have his marvelous crop of red hair. He would also like Dean Cole to have his athletic ability. Joyce Sawdey leaves her ability to hook a man for good to Eleanor Caldwell, her typing fingers to Miss Hayden. Jack Stith would like to see Warren Hurd take over his ability to dance, not walk, at public dances. And now that the senior class has given forth its will, it is not only ready but anxious to leave this beloved high school for good. Good-bye, school, and success to you and your students. Jack Stith.

SENIOR SOUVENIRS As the day of graduation draws near, the members of the senior class review our pleasant memories of the Estes school, and as a token of our school da|ys, each wishes to take some souvenir. The class as a unit wishes to take the good wishes and good will of Mr. and Mrs. Bryce K. Newell. They have served as splendid sponsors through the two most trying years of our high school career. As Phil Lancaster seems to have no use for it, Earl Baird will take his “gift of gab.” Virginia Baxter will take Jane Heubner’s shyness and Jackie Stirling's cackle. Bill Haggerty will take with him a few extra test tubes and some explosive chemicals from the science room. When you really needed them. Bill, was during your year in chemistry. The minature bowling alley that the school sets up annually for the carnival has a certain fascination for Bill Mantor, and so he will take that. Jean McIntyre is getting tired of fortune-telling cards, so she will take Loomis Ayres' ability to look into the future by palm reading. Ed Heed thinks he could find some use for Joe Fulton’s manly ways. Joyce Sawdey will take Darlene’s ability to stick to one fellow. Jack St it h will take Teddy Carmack’s ability to ski and also his skiis. As it would be easier to move the locker rather than the stuff collected there throughout the year. Bill Waite will take his locker. George Watson believes George Hurt’s boxing-gloves are lucky, so he would like the “Heart-throb’s” gloves plus his boxing ability. —.Jean McIntyre and Bill Waite.
