H. L. GUERNICR, Sponsor The The organ trills the Prelude ln soft and plaintive notes That hover, throbbing, pulsing, in the air, The great play house is lighted And the characters approach ln a frank and easy manner free from care. A peaceful mellow twilight Holds the audience spellhound While the players make their hows upon the stage. The organist relaxes and ln silence deep and tense, The critics look with doubt and seek to gauge. Pla Slowly, softly, scarcely noticed, The curtains disappear And then the stage is flooded by a light. The organ, with a harshness, Hurls loud not-es into the air While the players stand bewildered and in fright. And thus begins a Masterpiece: The wond'rous play ol' Life, And the players are this class of Twenty-two. Friends, remember, ey-es are watching' ln mingled fear and doubt, And don't forget: The working's up to you. SMYTH li Ll NDSAY.

Class History ofslune, ,22--Cl07ZZZ.7ZZl66l1 Whereupon the four girls made their way through the throng to a gaily bedecked booth where one's past, present, or future was revealed for ten cents. After a heated discussion they decided to have their past revealed first. On entering the booth they were asked by a swarthy skinned person- age what part of their past they wished told. Our high school days! they all exclaimed. After an impatient wait they were each handed a folded slip of white paper. Beauty before age, said Isabel. And anyhow, I have our history of our Freshman year. So this is what she read: You belonged to the graduating class of June '22 of Forest Avenue High School, in Dallas, Texas. In your first year, 1918-19, the following officers were elected: Wilson McClure, president, Janie Frost, vice presi- dent, and Ester Moore, secretary and treasurer. The boys of your class were initiated into the hardships and pleasures of military training, while the girls experienced the thrills of their first 'gym' demonstration. 'Tm next since I have the history of our Sophomore class, said Eliza- beth. The officers of the year 1919-20 were the following: Stanley Mar- cus, president, Reba Currin, vice president, Kathleen Hardwick, secretary- treasurer. Your class was very active in supporting the basketball team, and as Forest Avenue High School won state championship in basketball, it was very exciting times. Barely had Elizabeth finished when Marian started in. The class offi- cers elected for the first term of the Junior year, 1920-'21, were: Reba Currin, president, Kathleen Hardwicke, vice president, Hugh McAfee, secre- tary. The officers of the second term were: Finley McWhirter, president, Autrey Norton, vice president, George Harper, secretary, Dorothy Palmer, treasurer. The Students' Council was organized during this year and the Junior representatives were Marjorie Pinion and Zellner Eldridge. In ath- letics the class had the girl winners of the District Tennish Championship, Miss Lola Chapman and Miss Theresa Kleinmanf' Now it is my turn, and I have the best of all-our Senior year, said Anna. This is what she read: In the Senior year, 1921-'22, the graduat- ing class of June '22 elected th-e following officers: Sam Waldman, presi- dent, Marjorie Pinion, vice president, Macelle Rawls, secretary, Marian Martyn, class prophet, Anna Hartman, class historian, Smythe Lindsay, class poet, and Mr. H. L. Goerner, sponsor. Under the guidance of James Roberts, editor-in-chief, and Mervin Weil, business manager, the Senior Class published the best 'Foresterf The Annual was publish-ed by Smythe Lindsay, editor-in-chief. Glenn Galbraith as business manager did splendid work, which was later continued by Howard Keller. The boys of the Senior Class helped make the minstrel for 1922 a success. Now let's go back to the fortune teller and have our college history told, said Isabel. The four girls proceeded to the booth, but just as they neared, the closing bell for the bazaar rang. Now isn't that a shame, for we shall have to wait until next year for our fortunes, said the four girls, and sighed.
