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

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
