FALLS CITY HIGH SCHOOL We went to an afternoon showing of the new 1952 “Zigzag Follies,” starring ELAINE FITZPATRICK and FRANK LUCAS, with URSULA VOLTMER, EUTIVA TOWNSEND, and HELEN RUTH KRATZ. The ticket seller, JUNE MACOMBER, told us that she was sold out, so we had to buy our tickets from the “scalper,” DON JONES. After the show we walked into the corner drug store where MARION WISE fixed us a couple of drinks. CHARLOTTE PRATHFR brought them over to our table. While at dinner at Miss Stouffer’s Bungalow, operated by BETTY JEAN STOUF-FER, we noticed in the paper edited by HAZEL TAYLOR and IONE WAMSLEY that GARNET ZICKLER and HELEN WADDELD were to take a trip to South American. We also saw that BETTY STETLER and IDA JONES were entertaining in their social circle. They were having as guests ARLENE MEINHEIT and LOMA WAGNER, who had just returned from abroad. That evening we attended a prize fight between CHARLES GIANNINI and JAMES HEISER, with EARL RIEGER as referee. The next morning we went to the library to get a book. To our surprise we found BEATRICE SCOTT as lizbarian. We selected the book, “Essay on Criticism” by MARY DAVIS. Later we went for a ride in the country where we chanced upon a Republican gathering at which BETTY JANE BURGNER was serving buttermilk to all the loyal Republicans. A little farther down the road we passed on Old Maid’s Home owned and operated by EMAGENE FOSTER. We noticed GILBERT DODDS slipping out of the side door. Going on, we came upon a little country school house, and stopping to get a drink, we discovered ELEANOR BROWN a steacher of the third grade, and ROBERTA BAITEY teaching the fourth. As we were returning to the city, we saw a wreck. Upon investigating we found that the driver of one of the cars was ROLAND PERCIVAL $nd with him was GLEN TUBACH. In the other car had been JUNE APPLE, the driver, MILDRED FRITZ and DOLORES GRIFFIS. The ambulance had just come up with LLOYD WALL-RAFF driving, and RUTH FAUCETT as head nurse. After learning that the accident was not serious, we went on into town. We passed the postoffice where FRANK ELAM was postmaster, and we went on to the radio station. LLOYD MEINHEIT was the announcer broadcasting the children’s hour directed by ALVINA LAST “This program is coming to you through the courtesy of RUTH HUEBNER and MIRIAM BOYD, makers of the world's finest perfume.” Following this was a program featuring the songs of JOHN FALTER. We were walking down a boulevard when we recognized HAROLD HARTMAN who was painting a huge billboard. We talked with him for awhile, and he told us that CARL HUBER had been sent as the Foreign Minister to Siberia. We glanced up and saw that the sign was advertising a play under the sponsorship of PATRICIA MINSHALL and MARJORIE BRECHT for the benefit of the milk fund. We decided that we had better be getting back to 1937 and were going toward our time machine when we looked across the street and saw a small antique shop operated by ORVIL v, FRANZEN. Crossing to see what antiques he possessed, we found HERBERT • SMALLWOOD lying asleep in the window. Satisfied with the present we stepper back into the time machine.

 FALLS CITY HIGH SCHOOL Prophecy A time machine has been invented by ETHEL LEE BURDICK and ROBERT GOLDSMITH. They have made several successful trials and have compiled a report of their expeditions into the year 1952. Their report follows: We stepped off of the machine, and a cab stopped beside us. We were surprised to note, as we entered the car, that the driver was none other than MILTON FIENE. He drove us to the Valintine, a mammoth hotel in the heart of the business district of Falls City. Our cab was met by HAROLD WEDDLE, the doorman. He showed us into the lobby of the hotel, where we were greeted by the desk clerk, CLAUDE CLAUS. When we applied for rooms, he informed us that there were none, since the annual Fireman’s Ball was being held with ROBERT GODFIRNON as fire chief. We became angered at being refused a room by our schoolmate, so we asked to see the manager. We found, upon his arrival, that it was none other than KEITH VOLLIN-TINE. He recognized us, and made arrangements for us to have two of the finest suites in the hotel. He called a couple of bellboys whom we immediately saw to be PHILLIP WATSON and IRVIN GATES. The elevator boy, RAYMOND SNOW, took us to the 45th floor. There we met CHARM IAN BLOOM, who had just returned from the beauty parlor at the east end of the hall, operated by LILLIAN HAHN and ISABEL SALY. She told us that she had to catch a plane for Boston, where she was to be co-starred with JOHN PEARSON in grand opera. She added, as a side note, that EVELYN MORRIS was the air hostess, and GEORGE WEBER the pilot on the plane in which she was to travel. We were served dinner by RALPH ElCKHOFF, who told us that the cooks at the hotel were MARY McMANUS and RUTH HERBSTER. We listened to the music of VANCE RAMSEY and his Rioteers. We also noticed that the lad at the drums was ROY EATON, while LILLI BETH SLABLE was busy tuning her big bass. MILDRED HECK was at the piano. The featured singers were VIRGINIA BELL and AUDREY CULVER. Dancing was furnished by the teams of GRACE ALLSMAN and ROBERT KIMMEL, and TOM JOHNSON and ELIZABETH YOESEL. The next morning we rented an electrically operated streamlined car from WALTER ZIMMERMAN and traveled down Main Street on a sight-seeing tour. Sud-denl we were hailed by a policeman, LEO ZICKLER, who informed us that we were driving too slow. He threatened to take us to the chief-of-police who, he told us, was DALE PRATHER. After a little argument he let us go on. We turned on the radio and listened to part of a three-hour speech by CLARENCE SIMON, who was running for President on the Democratic ticket, with JOHN WILSON as his Vice-President. His opponents were TOM DAVIES and JAMES CAIN. Leaving our car, we entered a large department store owned by FLORETTA PALMER and WILDA VICE. We found that we knew three of the clerks—HELEN POOL, IRENE BAHR. and ILENE BAUMAN. In the office we found VELMA OBERST as stenographer and ANNABELLE GERWICK as typist. As we came out of the store, we saw EDWARD LOVICK standing beside his telescope selling looks at the moon for a nickle per look. Near him stood LELAND PARRIS selling tickets for an excursion to the moon in his new Rocket. 19 3 7

 FALLS CITY HIGH SCHOOL The Senior’s Regret (A parody on Tennyson’s “Break, Break, Break”) Break, break, break Oh, the hearts of the Seniors are sad! Brimming eyes, the silent tongues betray us. For we thought that we'd be glad. ’Tis well for the Freshies and Sophs That they shout for their school days to end; For Juniors to covet our place And be glad when we leave it for them! Dear Old School, you’ll carry on So that knowledge others may gain; But oh, tho' ’tis sweet, we’re bewildered and sad. In your heart we now beg to remain. Break, break, break? NO—steadfast will friendships be! And the tender mcm'rics of days in old High Will ever come back to me. —LILLI BETH SLAGLE.
