Senior Class Prophecy Entry found in the radio book of a member of the class of 1925, dated May 26, 1940. Since broadcasting a request about two weeks ago for particulars concerning my former High School classmates, to be sent to my private station with, if possible, a picture of themselves fwho would 'have dreamed fifteen years ago to-night that we all, by staying at our respective homes might talk to each other agai-n?J I have received messages from them all and the radiographs of the few who have complete radios. Linley fSlickJ Vaughan, was one of the first to comply with my request. He is a second, if not greater, Will Rogers and is acclaimed the cleverest comedian this country has ever produced. Ruth Mateer Robinson, and Iher husband after a successful campaign for Prison Reformation in the U. S. are this summer going to endeavor to institute these ,reforms in Mexico. Evelyn Asdcock, Marjorie Shambaugh. Creda James, Dorotha Caris, Ruth Lazear, and Emma Zeger Westbrook fyes Emma did the unexpected and when Monna Brollier so cold-heartedly spurned Norton and married the famous geologist Reginald Duflukey and sailed with him for Africa, she consoled Norton and as a reward she is now Mrs. We-stbrookj with Oliver Galleher as their manager compose the Flitting Fairies, a vaudeville act wvhich has drawn much appreciation from their aujdiences. A picture of herself and twvo splendid thoroughbred horses which Louise Osborne, broadcasted showed that she was very slightly changed and she said she was immensely enjoying heir life on her ranch in Saskatchewan. , A radiogram from Gayle Rinehart said .that she, Lucille Thompson and Helen Nesbitt have all been leading the younger generation in the paths of learning and are now vacationing in Europe. Elizabeth Wfhite tells me that since goi-ng to the Figi Islands fshe is the Wife of the U. S. Ambassaidorj her life has been one frenzied social whirl. The picture which I received from Rhoda Vaughan was taken in breeohes and wide brimmed hat as she was directing the work in the mine in which she is chief engineer at a small town in South America. James Lee, last season coached one of Princeton's most successful football teams and was this year offered the position of director of athletics at the University. 'Dhelma Caris was a year ago elected governor of Iowa and conditions have greatly improved during her regime. Blanche 'Campbell Grove is director of Home Economics at Columbia University and Alice Brollier and Bernice Goff are joint Editors of the Womans Home Companion. The message from Iris Teeple stated that she was president of the True Steel Corporation of Pittsburg and she also told me that Martha Singery was a missionary in the South Sea Islands and was doing a wonderful work of conversion among the natives. Floyd Messmore is a civil engineer with his headquarters in Alaska. Blanche Brown, Virginia Halbert, and Iris Worthington have all embarked upon the sea of matrimony and have thus far avoided all shoals and treacherous rocks which are said to be quite numerous in the aforementioned sea. Harry Beilhart has risen rapid-ly and is now U. S. Consul to Brazil and is in direct line for promotion. One of the largest chemical laboratories in the country located at Chicago, has as their heasd chemist our old classmate William Jennings. One of the other Titian-haired members of the class, Mary Ellen Jago, is to appear in Satechitz's latest production, as the dancer wfhen the season opens in New York. Page Twenty-two ,-

'F Senior Class History After twelve long and somewhat hard years of school life it is generally the custom of each graduating class to compile a history wherein the en-deavors and -dieeds of erstwhile, worthy members are blazoned forth as it were upon the printed page. To the despairing reader this dearth of material is often tiring to the point of nausea, therefore, may the powers above and these same long sufering people forgive us if we too yield to an irresistible impulse and pirate of ou-r accomplishments. It took eight years of life in the grades before it was conclusively borne upon us fat least to our own satisfactionj that our class was the most noble, and best qualified one in existence. Having finally awakened from our state of profound ignorance we set out to persuade others to our exalted opinion. Let us be brief then and to the point! To the gridiron the Senior Class sent stalwart men around whom a great team was fashioned, In days to come Shipman, Lee, Beilhart, Dumbaugh, Clark, West, and Fate will be names to conjure with. Representing the purple and white in basketball were such potential lights as Clark, Beilhart, Lee for the boys and Osborne, Bakes, Breese and Caris for the girls. To the National sport we 'have giv- en Eugene Dumbaugh- no mean pitcher! Consumed with a thirst for journalistic knowledge The Junior came into existence and for one short year efficiently chronicled the events of the high school. The Signum through the eiforts of various students of this class was recognized as one of the most novel High School Latin papers of the country. Also the worthy presidents of both Literary societies come 'from our ranks. Now with a very few of our achievements penned we glance back and remem- bfr that former Mizpah's have contained just such imposing lists an-d from our trifling wisdom finally decide that after all it is deeds not words that count and that if we have given to our school any impetus that it needed or love that it merit- ed cur history will live long after this annual has been tosstd aside and forgotten. Motto- Deeds Not Words. Flower-Lillies of the Valley. Colors-Green and Whfte. Page Twenty-one
