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.

FllllESlfEV, , Class Prophecy ofjune 922 The flickering fire cast fitful gleams around the studio, The quaint old clock on the mantel ticked solemnly and slow, Before the flames two old friends sat and talked of school days- One a writer of novels, the other a writer of plays. ln the course of th-e conversation they spoke of Forest High, The glories won, the honors achieved in the years gone by, Then of the class of June '22, that glorious class of old. Then news about all the members, and this is what they told: Warren Collins, one of them said, is keeper at the zoo. And Deane Vance is in vaudeville, and Nodine Carroll, too. Sinythe Lindsay has written poems that really are quite good. Theo Mayfield makes his living by hauling coal and wood. Herbert McConnell, the other replied, is football coach at Yale, And George Harper is warden at the Dallas County jail. Kendall Anderson and James Hartsfield are selling farm machinery Marie Kretz made her fortune painting Texas scenery. Marion Gray in the Y. M. C. A. has achieved world-wide fame. Don Montgomery is married to-well, I can't recall her name. Fergus Davis has written a book entitled 'Eat and Grow Fat.' Ruby Dymock married Herbert Wyche. What do you think of th Elizabeth is a dancer and a partner to Ted Shawn. Marie Shultz teaches music at her studio in Oak Lawn. Corinne Shaeffer, you remember her, is a doctor quite well known, While Regina Kellar is matron at Buckner's Orphans Home. Hugh McAfee, Morton Ullery, Lynn Seastrunk and Roy Stark Have a machine patented to make sunshine for the dark. Roy Weaver and William Young have built a bridge gigantic- It goes from New York to Liverpool across the broad Atlantic. Rebecca Webb and Pauline Fagola run a matrimonial exchangeg Allen Farmer and James Roberts punch cattle on a range. Marion McKnight, Irwin Voss, Charles. Baker, and Mervin Weil Are hunting up in Canada for Walrus and for seal. The door bell pealed and stopped their talk but not for very long, For in walked Lola Chapman and her husband, George Wysong About their old schoolmates they related many an annal, And so the conversation stayed in one continuous channel. George said that Raymond Condon had discovered a radium mine, And Cleo Frost had a bungalow where Harold Starr did shine. Libby Stone is married, too, her husband's Swift, they say, Ann Hartman's an actress, and her fame grows every day. 26 2 3
