SENIOR CLASS OFFICERS Front Row: Harlan Holmes, Marian Ford. Back Row: Martha Lucas. Robert James. Harlan Page Holmes was elected by the senior class, at its second meeting, to be president for the school year of 1938 to 1939. His chief duty has been to preside over all the senior functions. Page is a prominent cog in the machinery that keeps the wheels of the school in motion. He is ready and willing to assist in all school activities. Page is known to his classmates as an artist and diligent student, and as a sportsman. Last fall he went out for football, and in the summer one often sees him with a tennis racket under his arm. Without hesitation, one may distinguish him as an all-round'’ boy. Next in rank on the officers' list is Martha Lucas, our vice-president. Ever ready to assist Page in his official duties, Martha is a willing worker. The determination imbedded deep within her frequent smiles stands forth as an asset to our class. Marian Ford, our secretary, is always on hand when there is work to be done, and we can truthfully say that she is faithful to each duty. Let me now introduce to you the lad who likes to hear the money jingle in his pocket, but who writes receipts, not checks. Robert James, class treasurer, handles the funds competently and finds it a simple matter to greet one with palms extended. —Helen Dale.

CLASS PROPHECY We give you the special privilege of reading in advance a review to be given by Ralph W. Simpson of a visit which he and Miss Mildred Jorn made to Falls City on April 1, 1950. As we start, we are strolling down the Main Street in Falls City, a thriving mid-western community of some fifty thousand souls, a number of whom are still confined in body. We Notice the many changes time has made in the Falls City of 1939. A policewoman ( Mary Huffman with her hair cut short) is patroling the sidewalk in front of the Starkebaum building, named for his beloved mentor by the architect, Robert Beachy. This building is the scene of varied activity, passings to and fro of Eugene Weick yelling, Extry! Extry!” Suddenly a commanding personage passes us. It is Charles Robert James, a big butter-and-egg man of the West. Using the ghostlike penetration of walls and closed doors common to all authors, we trail him to the sixteenth floor. As he enters the office. Wilbur Ege arises and pleasantly remarking, Tag, you're it,’ presents him with a summons. With uncanny presence of mind, we immediately deduce that our Bobby has made erroneous income tax returns. Wilbur Ege. the district attorney, has an excellent record as prosecutor, mainly because of his matchless oratorical ability and his commanding courtroom presence. The evidence in this case was gathered by that super-sleuth, Milton Schulz, who, in collaboration with the sterling constable, Mary Huffman, has rid the city of crime. To get back to Bobby, he has been overcome by the shock and is at present in a chair, being fanned by his secretary, Doris Rodgers. We leave Bob and Blondie engaged thus, and, privately wishing we had a secretary, float to the street, landing in front of the morgue. Naturally we enter and learn that the death rate in Falls City is now very low. The undertaker, James Koehler, invites us to view the only body in the morgue. When we see that it is James Falloon we manifest no surprise, but simply ask what kind of car he was driving at the time. We learn that it was a '48 Chevrolet, which was hardly unexpected. We drop a tear on his casket and depart. Once in the streets of Falls City, we notice something we didn’t before—the offices of the Federal Broadcasting Company. We enter the building in our usual fashion and materialize in the office of Robert Lovick, president of the FBC. Here is a truly inspiring success story. Lovey (as his secretary, Maureen Shumway, calls him) began his career with only a transmitter and an idea. This idea made him rich and famous, for it was he who began using four bells for station breaks. One of his most popular broadcasts, Corny Flakes Hour, starring Page Holmes, who recites poetry, is just going on the air. Page, now known as H. P., is the greatest financial wizard of the Wall Street of Falls City. He appears daily on this program because it was through poetry he became a success, especially through a certain poem by Kipling. We listen to this enlightening program and discover it is sponsored by Richard Bahr, manufacturer of Corny Flakes. He reminds his audience, getting a plug in, that it was through this medium he attained his super-stature. The next program stars Eddie Boygan and Chuck McCarty, namely, Richard Miller and William Shepherd. We depart and are soon passed by none other than Richard Scholl, instructing his nine o’clock cycling class. Two of his more ardent pupils are Mary Huston and Eileen Duerfeldt. We collide with Scoop Hess, star reporter on the Weekly News,’ who asks us to accompany his to the office. We are conducted through the numerous departments by editor-in-chief, Russell Percival. One of the first departments we enter is that of Hazel Zimmerman, who is now conducting a syndicated newspaper column called Ask Hazel.’ She says, 'People were always asking me for something, and I never got anything in return. I decided 1 would beat them to asking me, and get paid besides.' She is in contact with Martha Lucas, a world-renowned stylist, who designs clothes for the genuine nobility and pseudo-nobility of Hollywood. We are in the sports department when a special news bulletin is flashed in from New York. Coach Edna Galley’s Dribbling Damsels pulled out a two point lead over the Five Basketeers in the most thrilling woman's basketball championship on record. We are still in the office when the late morning edition is released. After glancing through a copy, we inquire about an outstanding advertisement of Lurecreme. Lana Lure, its originator, is none other than Vivian Chesney. As we lay down the paper, our attention is attracted by a picture of Miranda J. Weaver, the youngest woman in the House. It has been mainly through her efforts that the women are in control in Congress. The shriek of the noon whistle reminds us
