(Which will show me what you will do) Equal shares of trust and faith And shares of weal and woe. There is also plenty of loyal love, Of honor and trust and hope. And soon, methinks, your future lives Will fall within my scope. “Into this portion there must be brewed Your love for Hemingford High! And now I shall tell what the Seniors will do After twenty years glide by. A bat brings a foresight of Stanley Bedient, in 1954. as pilot for the United Air Lines. A black cat uses his power of for- tune-telling to let you see Emil Ball as coach at Notre Dame. This snake has crept from Italy where Glen Cory is studying Art as a sideline along with his prize fighting. An albatross has come to earth to announce that Bell Moll has made millions of dollars in her work of dis- pensing beauty. She is now touring the world with her husband, Merle Sheldon. The tiger has come over the sea from Africa where he says that Charles Blundell has just invented an electric window shade puller. The tiger also brought us the news that Rachel Mayhew is a missionary in charge of Christian workers there. This eagle brings news of Doyle Clark who is President of the Co- lumbia Broadcasting Station. From Broadway comes a lizard carrying the story of the Prima Don- na. Ardath Kloppel whose name will be blazened three feet high before the largest opera house in New York City. On the skull of a murdered Turk we find sealed the story of the future of Twila Stumbaugh who will be the president of the New York Times. The warts on the back of the toad tell us that Lila Northrup is head nurse at Mayo’s Hospital in Ro- chester. Here I have a slip from a cypress tree which mournfully informs you the Kenneth Schneider is the world’s champion car racer. In the mind of the frog, there lies little doubt that Hazel Donner will be living on a farm three miles north of Hemingford. The dragon brings us information regarding Opha Nicholson, who. aft- er making a success as an opera singer in America, will go to Europe to study. He also brought us the news that Pauline Dobson, will be running “The Melody Music Shop” in Chicago after she finishes her course in music. A dove brings us the news, that I Evelyn Hambsch, the world’s leading Aviatrix and Parachute jumper, has just broken the world’s endurance record. At the commemoration exercises, The Senior Class of 1934 will all re- turn to exchange experiences and express their lasting regards for good old Hemingford High.” Class Prophet.

Senior Class notes The Seniors are sporting their new rings. Watch for them. We chose our announcements a our class meeting Monday. We have been discussing our class play and also chapel program wh.ch is to be given soon. Wise Admonition „ clanrtpr vnn nnvp henro Ancient Egypt A story by Eleanor Hovorka, will be published weekly in this rotamn. Tnis story is furnished through Mr. Osborne’s courtesy. It was early Spring when my friend and I left our homes and sailed for the beautiful land of Egypt. This was in the year of 5000 B. C. At sight of the beautiful green land, we forgot about ever being sea sick and weary of such a journey which seemed to have been everlasting. As we sailed up the Nile River, with the fertile valleys on either side of us, we could see villages of mud huts built on low hills that rise like islands above the flooded valley. We had heard that Egypt was a rainless land. Upon inquiry our guides told us that it never rained but what it poured but it only rain- ed occassionally—perhaps, two or three times a century. He also told For the purpose of fostering apprecia- tion for and interest in Music, the Neb- raska schools hold yearly contests in Music. The purpose is not so much to find and honor the good singers and good instrumentalists, as to encourage greater interest in better music. For this reason, contestants are not awarded First and Second places but are graded according to their relative accomplish- ment. The ratings are: Superior. Excel- lent. Good and Average. Thus, several con testants may receive the same rating. The state is divided into six districts. Hemingford is in the Sixth District. Each of these districts holds its own local contest or festival. Those who re- ceive either an “Excellent” or “Superior” rating are entitled to enter the State Contest The local festival for this district was held at Mitchell this year. About nine hundred high school students took nart. The quality of the music was very high, and the beneficial effects of such a fes- tival on the various communities is in- estimable. The schools of this district have felt that the aim of the music program rrro Z30C30C=50CDC Z= 0Cr 0 =30C30Cr H H Twenty »ne (Hmttest should be to encourage cooperation and not to set a value on native ability. For this reason, contests were held onlv in the bands and small groups, the large vocal groups joined in massed numbers. Hemingford, sent to this festival near- ly seventy pupils, a fairly large percent- age. Although this is the first year for most of the band members, theHeming- lord band received a “Good” rating, which can be considered an excellent accomplishment. These pupils and their instructor are to congratulated on their fine work Nearlv fifty choristers from Heming- ford took part in the “massed choruses” and received a real inspiration. There is nothing quite so stirring as to sing in a group of several hundred voices under able direction. Stanley Bedient, the Hemingford entrv in Boys’ Hifrh Voice Group won first place over Alliance and Kimball. He received an “Excellent” rating. As a re- ward for his conscientious work he was sent to the State contest at Lincoln.
