I 4 Senior Class History In September, 1924, forty-two young and innocent little Freshies started on a journey through that vast land of knowledge. The first lap of the journey was covered in a Ford. Gerald Epley was overseer of the journey, John Cooper as his assistant, was the driver, and Frank Pipal attended to engine troubles. Mr. McPherson was guide and kept us on the right path. By the time May arrived, we had reached our first des- tination and, as the bumps and grief which we had suffered were not few or far between, we were indeed glad to spend a vacation there. V+. At the end of this time, we were eager to continue our journey and see what new adventures awaited us. We had profited by our experiences on our first journey and so we invested in a Chevrolet, with which to con- tinue. The position of guide was given to Miss Berlet, with Keith Harding as director of the journey, Beulah King, as assistant and Rudolph Watzke, as mechanic. Our journey was far from monotonous. Many of the tour- ists were able athletes, and at times we were entertained by the debates of Gerald Epley, Frank Pipal and Rudolph Watzke. Soon our second des- tination was reached and we waited while preparations were being made for the third lap of the journey. This time we started in a sporty Buick. Miss Hemphill was guide, David Sheard was director, while Floyd Heikes drove and Winifred Dalbey had charge of expenses. Many of our group won letters for their ability in the athletic field. Members of our party were still recognized as the most able debators in the land, As we neared our third destination, we presented the play, And Home Came Ted, which was greatly appreciated. We looked forward to our last journey with anticipation, also with regret that after it, our final destination would be reached and our journey ended. In order to make it the most successful possible, we purchased a Rolls-Royce and appointed Miss Hemphill and Mrs. Greer guides. Rudolph Watzke was in charge of our last journey, with Robert Wedner as assist- ant and John Cooper in charge of valuable possessions. All experienced one of the best times ever on Senior Sneak Day. We enjoyed a banquet given by the Juniors. The play, Peg O' My Heart, was most ably pre- sented. Now we have finished our journey and start out on the paths of life, much better prepared to follow them, because of this delightful journey we have taken during the last four years through the land of knowledge.

Prophecy N While enjoying ourselves to the utmost on our Sneak Day, Rudolph Watzke, our president, as usual sprfung one of hismany bright ideas. This one was a corker! We were all to go to the home of Natachu Matinoxni, the man who made the crystal ball famous, and have him read our various futures. Well we knew that they would be bright ,and full of promise. 4 ' By making use of several corner policemen and the city directory, we finally reached our destination, where we were shown into the reception hal-l by a copper- skinnied, full-blooded native American. , U After an hour's wait in this dark, stifling, -mirth-defying room, Natachu the Great at last condescended .to see us. We were-conducted 'down a flight of steps into a great dark room, which was intermittently lighted by huge flashing lights, and filled with eerie sounds. As we became accustomed to the light we saw before us upon a raised dais, a very old man, his long white hair and beard streaming down u-pon the cushions, and his voluminous robes billowing about him. His bright snake- like eyes and wrinkled, claw-like fingers were fastened uponi the great crystal ball be- fore him. After a time he began to speak, his voice seeming to fill the entire room: Dale Elmore, you will one day :be heralded Tr-om continent to continent as the greatest painter of all time. Your artistic soul craves not the companionship of wom- an, and you travel the primrose path alone. : - Loren Kuper, twenty years' from now, you, will the a kind-hearted probation officer in a juvenile court. ' I see ta great prima-donna. hollding vast crowds of people enchanted with her golden voice. Edna Carsh is her name. , Wilda Burgett is a missionary teacher in India, where her soothing voice calms many a rupture between the Hindusutand Moslemsf' Clarence Harshbarger is a multi-millionaire, having struck an oil gusher while digging for ifishworms. Esther Hudson, Gladys Carpenter, and Ruth Morrison, I see you in a great college, where you ,are teaching. Velma Chandler will be a private stenographer for a few years, after which she will return and marry her school-iday sweetheart, Dave Sheard, who is in the butter and egg business. Dorothy WittlH6F'S praises will be sung in every tongue by thin women. She will perfect a tonic guaranteed to put on a few pounds daily, or your -money back and no questions asked. -'I Fern Boop and Fern Schmidt are supervising a training field for daring w-om- en who wish to learn to pilot aeroplanesf' 1 A .port1y, distinguished looking gentlefman, by the name of Geralld Epley, is Secretary of War in 1968. Vernon Furrow, Robert Wedner, and Keith Harding will jointly operate an orphan asylum. . Gladyce Hoagland, .the first woman preacher in Humboldt, by virtue of her magnetic personality and oratorical powers, will draw great crowds of truth-seekers to her church. i ' Ural Sterns will be a hostess in a tea-room in Cleveland, Ohio. In 1942, Clarence Sueidlmeier will be known among men as a master farmer. All farmers will follow his methods, in hopes that5t,hey will .be as successful as he. A happy wedding scene is 'before me. The laljushing bride is Winifred Dalbey. The crys-tal tells me nothing of the groom, except. that he lives in Omaha. Frank Pipal, after graduating .from col-lege, becomes a noted scientis-t, discover- ing the reason why water flows down hill. . Roby Standerford will take upon himself the .dguties of a husband in 1931, after which he will settle down to a quiet life on the farm, milking the cows and feeding the pigs. . ' I see Marie Parli as the proprietress of a share in the Kimberly Diamond Mines, from which she will gain a comfortable living. Pearl Ingles, you wi-ll be very successful as a police woman. You will be strict, not allowing anyone on the street .after curfew, which rin-gs at three a. m. John Cooper and Rudolph Watzke will have a difficult time deciding upon their vocations. But after a time, they will settle down s Very sedate business men. Alyce Meyer and Ruth Beutler, having a joi capital of six hundred dollars, will venture into the chicken business, establishing: a chicken hatchery. Cora Williamson, being disappointed in love while young, will enter ,a convent and devote the rest of her life to her work. We solemnly filed from the room, paid the sphinx-eyed servant five dollars apiece and quietly started home It was not til , 1 . un' we were within five miles of Humboldt that our natural gayety burst Qforth. -BEULAI-I KING.
