GlaM Poem When we entered high school in ' 38, To continue our learning of knowledge-plus, We didn ' t know what type of fate The gods had decreed in their wills for us. We began to climb that grand old scale, We were certain of our success and fame As we started out so hearty and hale. By our ability, we established our name. Sophomores we became, and sang of joy, We celebrated with a party on skates; In learning we ' d advanced, and each girl and boy Looked forward to becoming graduates. At last it came, the yearly reception! We worked so hard for that moment great, This gala affair of enjoyable fun To dignified seniors all juniors dedicate. With you we leave this thought, Our career with you is gone, But though the song is ended The melody lingers on. — Theda Tyndall

Amidst the chords and discords of the orchestra inside, I shall tell you about the people entering this great magnificent theatre. For this is Hollywood premiere taking place in Nappanee, Indiana, at the Fairy Theatre which covers a whole block. What eighteen years can do to a place! ! The very first to arrive are JOSEPHINE MULLETT and KIRBY ALEXANDER, the stars of the picture. It ' s entitled The Villain Still Pursues Him. (After all these years!) Following right be- hind comes EILEEN MADLEM. Having just received her twelfth divorce Eileen is appearing with her latest prospect, RAYMOND KERN. Speaking of Skip— THEDA TYNDALL now owns a large chain of garages stationed on lonely country roads and in graveyards throughout the nation to aid these young couples when their cars stall. Her most noted mechanic is WILBUR GAUT, who, I ' ve heard, has had a great deal of experience in getting out of ditches. A crowd is already beginning to gather to watch these notables entering the theatre. Among this early crowd is ANNA MAE REED with her arms loaded with groceries and seven little children gath- ered around her. I never would have recognized her! ! ! WILLIS ROOSE and JIM MARTIN are just arriving in a long, flashy limousine. I guess they are living in Bremen now. I could see that was coming back in the high school days. Willie will soon be a famous man when he takes over Walter Winchell ' s key-hole peeping. After all, Willie can talk faster and spread more gossip than Winchell ever dared! ! Well, look who ' s rolling across the street! ! It ' s SHANTY GEYER! ! ! I hear he is trying to beat Lou Costello as a funny man but he hasn ' t found a partner yet. He has his eye on WALTER REED, but Fish has a very fine job as stand-in for Clark Gable when a close-up of ears is required. NORMA SECHRIST, that famed aviatrix and driver of Stude- bakers, has finally come back to her old home town. I guess she has a terrible time keeping up with her husband. There is a group of tonight ' s entertainers heading toward the stage entrance. There is LISLE ROOSE, JEANETTE SLABAUGH, JULIA GEORGE, and FRANCIS WELDY. They have advanced so far dur- ing these past years! Being Elkhart County ' s favorite quartet is quite an accomplishment! ! ! ! I always felt there was a certain attraction between Jeanette and Francie. But Nub and Julie ! ! ! 1 thought surely Nub was destined to be a great surgeon and Julie to be MRS. ATLEY MILLER. Still - - - one never knows, does one? ? ! I hear Atley is squiring that little, bashful, demure, sweet-tempered Reading the paper So tneu told her old man Its onlu a fake front dost like dapan«
