They had es' tablished a kindergarten for the children of movie stars. What were they talking about so bitterly? Ah! Jeanette Geddes was trying to sell cosmetics to their small pu' pils. She believes in starting young. Then I saw a large ship leaving the western coast for a trip around the world. Eloise Klingf er, Ella Lemon and Goldie Barnes were on board, they were going as missionaries to China. Louise Strentz was there too but she was going on a pleasure jaunt. The ship disappeared and New York came rush- ing toward me. I saw Elizabeth Schrader and Ruth Myer hurrying by. They were go' ing to play basketball in a big international tournament at the New York University gym. Then Glenaus Geiger and Mary Donahue were suddenly whisked into view. Glenaus was a successful musical comedy star and Mary Donahue was her underf study. I heard Mary tell Glenaus that Ad' elaide Rochester was the sedate mistress of an exclusive school of expression on Fifth Avenue and that she spent a great deal of time with Delphine Eichel, wife of a wealthy importer. Coming toward me were Margaret Sater, Mary Walker and Miriam Ringhiserg they were studying at Columbia University trying to improve their French pronunciation. Mary was engaged to a prize fighter. john Wellman came toward me slowly. The buildings behind him were part of Harvard University. As we might have imagined johnny was a Latin professor there. And there came Emerson Hansel, too, only Emerson was janitor in one of the dormitories. Then another figure appeared. It was a man struggling through a jungle. Clayton Shaw was an engineer, building bridges in the heart of Africa. Joe Gano was there, too, but he was chief cook and bottle wash' er of the expedition. And then Washnigton D. C. appeared before me. I saw Daisy Powers, speaker of the House of Representatives. Florence showed her executive ability managing the Student Council in high school. Bertha Tucker was also a member of the House. She was Straitsville's first representative. Then I saw Esther Heyde, she had marrif cd a consul to U. S. from Peru and had for her social secretary none other than Ida Rosser. I saw a dominating figure in the private offices of president of the Unit' ed States. It was Lloyd Blum. He had gained the presidency on the Socialist ticket and his personality had won him na' tional favor-with the feminine popula' tion at least. As he still liked to keep in touch with the old home town, Pauline Magle piloted him back and forth from Washington to Logan in his private plane. In the mist that was gradually rising about me I discerned three more familiar faces. Garnet Sheets, Garnet Reichley and Evelyn Frasch were all married and living in Cincinnati. Clffiord Turner, Graham McNamee's successor was radio announcer from W. L. W. The only member of the Class of '29 I had not seen was Lucille Barthlow. I look' ed in vain among the faint apparitions be- fore me when suddenly I found her giving dancing lessons to the natives in Hawaii. Suddenly the mist began to clear, aided by a bucket of ice water thrown by the would be scientist. The year slipped back' ward and it was again April, 1929. IIB H11 1111 fm rm THE AERIAL 'V 306

I tried to cry out but no sound came from my lips I started to rise but I was over whelmed by a strange dizziness and couldn't move a muscle. Suddenly I saw three figures coming to' wards me. I could hear them talking but was unable to distinguish their faces. Then I described them to be Margaret Walker, Donald Spencer and Ralph Hone. Marga' ret was Logan Hi's first woman principal, and Don was athletic coach. But the greatest and most unexpected shock was Ralph. He was teaching Latin! Out of the shadows came another, no, two familiar figures, Ila Inboden and Evelyn Green. They were on the steps of the court house and Ila was making a fiery address on the Purposes of the W. C. T. U. She was national president. Imagine Ila a W. C. T. U. member, let alone president of such an organization! And Evelyn Green was her secretary! They seemed to be endeav' oring to reform many of the boot'leggers in the vicinity, Harley Boring among oth' ers. The interior of the court house came before my eyes and there I saw Josephine Starr, state prosecuting attorney, delivering in explosive terms the case against Rondel Cline, defendant, in an oil scandal. Ken' neth Hansley was Rondel's lawyer. And the imposing figure in the judge's chair was Harley Ellinger fa chip off the old block, so to speakj. Dorothy Goodlive was clerk of courts and Josephine Brown and Violet Coakley were reporters from The Logan Republican and Democrat'Sentinel. I was' n't surprised to discover that Joe Frasch was editor of The Republican and that Ly' le Schultz was editor of The Democrat' Sentinel. The whole length of Main Street came parading slowly before me. On store win' dows I caught glimpses of familiar names. Georgia Hansel, Dry Cleaner. Gompf's Florist Shop, Harold and Waveline's of course. Then William Hutchinson 'Fresh Fish, the Willis Ohlinger Grocery, Robert Mohler's Employment Agency for lr- Ditch Diggers and Street Cleaners, and last but by no mains least, Charles Klein' schmidt's and Bill' Lehman's Hot Dog Stand. And then suddenly I saw coming rapidly toward meia delivery truck drawn by a runaway horse.. John Bond was cling' ing frantically to tlie lines. He was one of Logan's most eminent delivery boys. Then Columbusgiloomed before my as' tonished eyes. I saw Dorothy Johnson, Marie Frasch and :Florence Jones on the steps of a large hoypitalg they were nurses there, and Esther St. Clair was the chief staff surgeon, with Walter Harbarger as her assistant. Then Broad Street slipped quietly before me. In the g0vernor's man' sion, I saw Kenneth Risch, governor of Ohio being ably assisted into his overcoat by Ralph Bond, his butler. Ruby and Mil' dred Keister were secretaries to the gov' ernor. Ione English, Elizabeth jaggi and Mary Brown had started an antique shop and specialized in selling apparatus resur' rected from the Chemistry Lab. of L. H. S. Then Loew's Ohio Theatre appeared. On a large billboard I saw pictures of Edith and Edna Oberle. Edna in private life was Mrs. Emerson Hansel. They were playing in their screen version of Topsy and Eva. Millie Rainer, Martha Hamilton and Mil' lie Booth were delighting the audience that week with their marvelous acrobatic danc' ing. Ben Allen had taken Frank Corn' well's place as director of the orchestra and Helen Ward was pounding the ivories. Margaret Hayward and Helen Cox shared honors at the organ. Then everything van' ished from my sight. Immediately after that a rapidly growing light came hurling toward me and when it was but two or three feet away I saw two familiar figures begin to materialize from it. A woman was sobbing bitterly and struggling to escape from a man about to kill her with a murderous knife. It was Fred Oberle and Dorothy Roberts. They were making a new picture in Hollywood. Dot was the lovely heroine and Kitten rmmiunzmzm THEAER,1A1. ,lhnmmmunmun

After picking it up and unfolding it I noticed there was writ' ing on the paper. On reading it over I found it to be the history of hte Class of 1929, and here is what it said: This class was founded in 1917, and through eight years of studious effort we finally managed to become Freshmen falf though we were not really Freshmen, be' cause we were Seniors in Junior Highj. The class had an enrollment of one hun' dred twentyfnine members during the Freshman year. Due to many disasters the Class of '29 was finally reduced to eighty members, although we are all thankful that this number will receive their diplomas in the vear of 1929. During our Freshman year we enjoyed many privileges, in the first place, we were not subject to the cruel treatment of upper classmen and in the second place we had the use of many conveniences which the new school house afforded. We were very fortunate in choosing our class officers this year as they were worthy of their position. They were: john Bond, president, Donald Spencer, vice presidentg Ruth Myers, secretary Margaret Walker, treasurer. After quite a discussion we se' lected for our class colors, Rose and Gray. The climax of the year was the Fresh' man picnic at Crystal Springs which will long be remembered by all the Class. This occasion ended the Freshman year with great enthusiasm and we were now ready to bear thetitle of Sophomores. In the fall of 1926, we entered Senior High School as Sophomores. During the first few weeks we were bashful and very backward, but quickly overfcame these, too quickly, according to the upper classmen. The thing that interested most of us was that we were dismissed fortyffive minutes earlier than we had ever been dismissed be- fore, also that we were given the preference over the Seniors in leaving the school on dismissal. It was not long until we held a class meeting for the purpose of electing our class officers. The officers were as follows: President, Joe Fraschg vice president, Mar' garet Walker, secretary, Ruth Myers, treasurer, Carlton Williams, and Silver and Blue were chosen as class colors. Goal is Success, was chosen for our class mot' to. Carlton Williams moved to Columbus and Ralph Hone was elected to succeed him. We also elected John Wellman as representative to the Student Council. This year passed very quickly and it was not long until we were hearing conversaf tions in the Sophomore rooms and halls about the Sophomore banquet. Prof Yo' chum ran more than one of us out of the hall when we were talking about the ban' quet. He understood the source and left us off sparingly. It was not long until the date arrived for the great occasion and this was the best banquet any one could wish to attend. Most of the class enjoyed dancing, but we all partook freely of the wonderful food. We were now beginning to enjoy Senior High School and were starting to make plans for our Junior year. fContinued in Ad Section, E Q . I I unmmnnm THEAERIAL ,nkmmunun rm 1 31
