Class Prophecy In Slang Did you ever fall asleep and dream a lot of Bunk? You know what I mean-Tommyrot. I have. I am going to give you a Specimen of some of the Junk I dreamed one night. I, at least I suppose it was I, though it didn't look like me-anyhow I was sitting somewhere reading a Newspaper. I noticed that the date was May 5, 1930. Nineteen thirty! I thought, What are they Handing Me? I lcoked again but there it was as Plain as Day-nineteen hundred thirty. The poor Boob, Stew or Roughneck that printed the Thing must have been a Sure 'Nuf Ignoramus. However, I began looking over the News and dis- covered he wasn't as Plumb Crazy as I thought he was. , There was a Big Article on the Front Page headed Coach Sawyer Rounds Up the Gang for the Final Fight. I read it and found that the coach's first .name was Elmer. Snook Sawyer, Iill be Hanged! I looked at the Cartoon. Rosa Calkins' name was Tacked Onto it. The very Deuce! I wondered who could be the Editor of this paper and looked in the Editorial Section. The name Edwin P. Geauque Struck Me in the Face. So Eddie was the Editor and Rosa the Cartoonist. I wondered to myself, How do they ever Get Along together? I now looked at the Advertisements. The one from the Palace Movie Theatre especially inter- ested me. The Bill included Marjorie Smith, with an All Star Cast in The Lovable Mix-Up. I would liked to have seen it because Marjorie was a Peach of a girl. A Slap-stick Comedy, featuring Bobbie Misselhorn, was also included. Great Scott, 'What'ye Know About That? I wouldn't have Thought It of Him! At the bottom of the Ad was Tacked Walter DuWan, Mgr. Holy Smoke and Jumping Jehosa- phat, if it wasn't Eggs DuWan! Why he was the Gink that said P. J, H. is a cross-eyed, knock-kneed, pigeon-toed, sawed-off, hammered down Bonehead, who doesn't think that iron sinks or Niagara falls or marble busts. And to think that he is running a Picture Show! Another Ad said something about Flour and Feed for Every Need. 'Nuf said, I thought. That's Pork Steckley's Ad. And Sure Enough, it was. There was an Ad for Martin's Grocery and also one for Hosler's Colthing and Shoe Store. The Wagner Ice and Coal Co. had a prominent space. And don't let me forget to mention the Ads from Cain's Garage and Kaiser's Bakery. Conn and Ki were Regular Guys, back in school times, especial- ly when they played Rotation. There was a whole Mob of Personals in the paper, one of them mentioning that Mr. and Mrs. Russel Appleman were visiting over the Week End with Mr. and Mrs, George Armstrong, of Auburn. I wouldn't risk guessing the ladies' first names. Someone might get Queered and Clean Up on Me. I imagine, however, that their initials used to be G. K. and M. H. According to one, Mr. and M1's. Russel Fetter were visiting in this city. I thought to myself, I've heard that name before, but Search Me where! Page Twenty-five Another personal mentioned that Miss Ruth Mil- ler had left to take up her Kindergarten work in Chicago. Fudge! I knew Ruth started out to be a Teacher but I hoped she wouldn't end up that way. I noticed also that Miss Edith Fleisher, a Local School Teacher, had Resumed her Duties after a Brief Illness. Edith always did like to teach school, so I was not a bit surprised, A Personal which interested me especially, re- ported that Miss Laurine Cleaveland, Miss Mar- garet Beckinan, Mr. Elmer Diggins and Mr. Paul Hoffman had left to spend the week at Miss C1eaveland's Cottage, at Rome City, where they would be Joined by Friends from Atwood, Albion. and Fort Wayne. Atwood! Albion! Fort Wayne! Who in the Dickens could those people know from those Places? Sssh! I mustn't Tell Tales outside tor insidej of School. The last personal that I noticed, was as follows: Miss Miriam Diggins has just returned from New York and expects to open a dancing school here in the near future. So Miriam has become a dancing teacher-an Exponent of the Light Fantastic Toe! Evidently she had gone to New York to learn all the High Cafiutin' Steps and was now back and All Set to teach them to the Provincials. Turning back to the first page, I noticed several interesting articles. One of the most interesting ones began as follows: Word was just received here today that the contract involving the electrification of the Penn- sylvania Lines has been awarded to Leland Miller and Rolland Saller, partners in the firm of Miller and Sallerf' I thought to myself, That's the Biggest Line of Con that they've Handed Me yet. If I had seen the Editor just then I would have said to him, Can that Stuff. You're Filling Me. After thinking about it a little, though, I decided that it must be Straight Goods after all, because I remembered the hundreds that Saller used to get in Physics and the good grades that Pewee got in Electrical Physics. Another Leading Article announced that Harri- son Miller and Harry Franke had invented a New Fangled Contraption, which Busted all previous Theories and produced Perpetual Motion. Who in Sam Hill would have Thunk It? One article Startled me. It mentioned that Presi- dent Ortstadt had signed the Income Tax Law, I thought, Gosh, all Friday, that can't be John Ort- stadt, can it? I read the article through twice but the President's first name was not mentioned. It Peeved me, it made me Sore, because his first name wasn't mentioned, because I was eager to know whether it was really Pony or not. I noticed, also, that Howard Riddle and Forrest DeVoe had Merged their farming interests and bought all of the land between their two farms. They had Staged a Big Feed, in honor of the occa- sion, to which over a Hundred Guests had been Invited or had Come. In the list of Those Present I.noticed several Familiar Names, such as Mildred Barker, Ruth and Lester Owen, Alice Strater, Octa tContinued on Page Sixty-six.J

OSCAR MARTIN Without Oscar the Senior class would not be complete. Once we almost lost him to Pontius Bros., but he liked High School life too well, and so the second semester he came back to us again. His mind went back on him one day and he found himself with a woman. In spite of that handicap,we all look for him to be a great success. Already his name is famous, for, you know, he is the original Oscar EDWIN GEAUQUE Editor-in-Chief, Annual: Editor-in-Chief, Oracle, Presi- dent K. Klubg Football 183 Track 193 The Cassilis Engagement? The Rejuvenation of Aunt Mary. Ed is a youth of much ability, not always usedg is the soul of politeness and a regular Bryan in speechmak- ing. If interviewed he would probably tell you that cinnamrn rolls and almond bars are his favorite fruits. NVe know the school only produces one each year, and before he became our editcr he had some sensible ideas. However, recently he has been known to expound queer theories on love, and has even decided he likes dancing, Nevertheless, we all like Ed, and this book bears witness to his ability in this lfne. - Page Twenty four
