mm-THE 1932 REI'-'LECTUR CLASS PROPHECY Moonlight, stars shining, ice and snow, everywhere peace and quiet. The moon has caused the wide, unbroken expanse of ice to gleam in an almost ethereal beauty. To this I had come to seek my fortune! But what could I accomplish here, hidden from all signs of civilization. Oh! Little did I think, when the theme of the Far North had been used in our year book back in '32, that some day I should experience that bare reality. Oh! 'tis only too true we look back upon those years with mingled pain and pleasure. Yet they were the good old days. We were all so young and full of life, carefree and hopeful, rejoicing in our youth, defying the world to show us some job we wouldn't tackle. Then the challenge came, and like gladiators of old, ready for the combat we grappled with the realities of life, one at a time until now, oh. Master of Visions, whercare they allgthose who were as brothers and sis- ters to me? Darkness! - Darkness! - Groping toward a far distant light, I see- The mystic veil is rent and I peer through the narrow opening of a slowly receding curtain. Surely my eyes are deceiving me-but no, it is the capitol and there comes the President, none other than Homer Hill. Ed. Hite, Secretary of State, and Lillian Snowball, the President's Secretary, have left in a preceding car. In the Senate Cham- ber Whom should I see but Lillian jones, occupying the Chair from Pennsylvania fsuccess attributed to her debating experience when a Seniorj. As the scene slowly receded, it seemed to me that I saw familiar figures in the foreground. It's growing plainer--I am assured without doubt. Danny Telenko, successor to Rockne fame at Notre Dame, and Zeke Wissinger, lauded line coach at Pitt, are returning from the National Coaches' Conference. But that store they entered! Kotchin Brothers- I wonder! Dwight Griffith, Manager. Madeline Harding, Bertha Howard and Helen Michlo on the office staff. Certainly it is a branch of the nation-wide concern founded by Brownie and Frank Kotchin. But now I must be in the west, for palms are growing in profusion on this college campus. Entering the gym I find Richard Virgin, wrestling coach, demonstrating the art of acquiring broad shoulders, while Ruth Williamson, Instructor of Social Sciences, is crossing the campus toward the dorm, John Weaver is also laboring in this land of perpetual summer, preaching to the natives of the mountains. The magic wand now wafts me back to New York where I find myself enter- ing the Grace Goodhart Hospital in which Doris Blum, Tillie Cola, Dorothy Kal- tenbaugh, Pauline Rose and Elmyra Roseman are pursuing with great diligence their chosen profession of nursing. Farther down the street, I see an odd-looking building, with the inscription, Small Men Welcome. Bernard Moore's establishment, who, with his cohorts, Ralph Zimmerman, Richard Stuver, Joe Stemac, Martin Shaffer, and Martin Krasovetz, is endeavoring to add inches to the stature of those who would be tall. He employs as dietitians Dorothea Leonard and Ruth Livingston while Ruth Roseman and Mariaii Shaffer carry the burden of nursing. Again the scene changes and--yes, indeed! It's dear old Ferndale High I see on the hill. Charles Schilfhauer, Principal, and Gladys Callen, his secretary, are will ! 410 H -W, io-, ty I I x 'xxx .N H.. - I-xxx ' A , Q i 1 , f ' ifffiffikf ' , -, , X xx X -..f - s - - - -af a 1 . 1 - X x S5955 .m::tb.,.:R q-,,,.......

All . Il k b QI. jf.Yf A ' 3- .1! K'- qil , x.N 1, THE 1932 REFLECTOR-' f rf, X Q Three others left for various reasons so that we were ready to start our senior year with 83 of our previous 105. The officers of the Senior crew remained the same as the Junior crew. The life of the senior crew was 'one of anxiety and passed quickly. The com- pany adopted the magazine campaign in order to increase their already heightening fortune. The second endeavor of the group materialized into a Thanksgiving Dance which afforded much pleasure to everyone. A candy contest was then started in which candy sellers were dividedinto two groups, each trying to out-sell the other. March came along and with it the second dance of the company which was a St. Pat's affair. Tossing all care to the winds, a huge crowd assembled to be -entertained by the Senior Play, Cat o' Nine Tails. Laudable talent was displayed by the ac- tors, and all their fellow excursioners rejoiced at their success. Then came the last venture-the Washington tour. We all had a grand time and hated to leave the capitol city. E And now, we gather again perhaps for the last time, with the treasured diploma in our hands, and with our hearts overflowing with joy in the realization of the golden dreams it held for us, we can only cherish these memories and wish the same happiness to other voyagers as the sun sets and our high school career fades out in the dusk of the polar night. , Xg lllf e WM, 4,1 W i 01 f ff .
