22 NORTHERN LIGHT CLASS HISTGRY PLANET MARS DAILY PAPER Twenty-second Century Tuesday Morning Great Upheaval On the Earth!! U. S. in Utter Destruction Millions of Lives Lost!!! S MR. FUTURE, a famous evolutionist and geologist of the planet Mars, read these start- 0 ling headlines in the' morning 4 n news he was quite thrilled. To him it looked like the opportu- the earth? There he would have not take his airplane and ily to nity of his life. For could he an excellent chance, in search- ing among the ruins, to prove his recent state- ments concerning geology, and above all to prove his statement that the people of the earth are reincarnated in Mars. The following month, therefore, found Mr. Future on the famous planet Earth in the vicinity of the Cascade Mountains. Ten years of endeavor found the so-called genius with no proof as yet. But one day he stumbled on a large high school library. Searching among its ruins, he found some weather-beaten vol- umes. His eye was instantly caught by the illuminating letters of a tiny red leather maga- zine, which read: p NORTHERN LIGHT Something in this title made his v'ery being shudder for it brought up repressed memories from his subconscious mind! He opened the book largely from curiosity. This is what he read: In the year l9lS a band of roving boys and girls started on a dangerous journey over mountain and plain to seek the valley of know- ledge and success. Indeed, this was a great undertaking for had it not always involved four years of struggle by former adventurers? Mount Freshman, the first obstacle which they were required to scale, proved very diffi- cult for the band was timid and frightened. Some of the unfortunate ones were even tossed into chasms of despondeney by such frightful FE? monsters as Latin and ancient history. Others by the aid of ponies and guides successfully gained the other side of the mountain. 'KMount Sophomore proved less difficult. More team work was displayed for after a rousing conference they chose a guide. The one bright spot which illuminated the second year's task was a party at the home of one of the members of the band. There arose in this year several leaders who were indispensable to the class. These leaders held down the ropes to enable the weaker ones to get over the steep precipices. Ujunior Mount proved less formidable be- cause its sides were not very rocky. However, dreadful storms of tests soon overtook the travellers. These were followed by showers of destructive grades. Those, however, who were allowed to continue the journey came up- on such a beautiful lake that they decided to hold by its banks a day of merry-making. They named it Newman Lake. Soon after this Senior Mount loomed high above them. The rovers were so enthusiastic that they undertook it with great courage. As a result of their enthusiasm there was an out- burst in such lines as art, athletics, music and dramatics. Another picnic was enjoyed at Medical Lake. After this event the exciting and thrilling part of the climbing began. A gorgeous ban- quet given by the Senior B's, an exceptional class play, a baccalaureate sermon, and the commencement exercises, brought the band to the summit of Senior Mount. From there they could see stretching out before them the great valley of knowledge and success. Signed: EVELYN SELLARS HELEN RUSSUM Mr. Future was in ectasies! His theory of reincarnation was proved! This clearcut re- cital of events had brought from his subcon- scious mind the fact that he himself was a member of that illustrous graduating class. VVith speed he returned to Mars, there, to pro- claim himself as victor of the great subject of evolution and reincarnation. Signed: EV ELYN SELLARS HELEN RUSSUM

Harold Harding was extracting teeth pain- fully painlessly. Ingram Coon was still going to Waterloo, while Louie Ashlock and Walton Hone care- fully sleuthed for their master, the famous comedian, Fred Marshall. Thus they passed, followed by Winnifred Copson, Luella De Witz, Mildred Lively, Gar- net McGowan, Florence McCulloch, Netie Russel and Elizabeth Walters, cooks and wait- resses at the Little Brickf' rival of Daven- ports. Margaret Slater and Evelyn Sellars, great Paderewskiettes, followed Edith Freeborg and Virginia Frost, the world-famed Latin Pro- fessorettes. Thomas Doran lead the famous Schooley's Funeral orchestra and Robert Zimmerman and Wesley Robson had succeded at the bar and defied anyone to defy their championship at handling the crowbar. Kenneth Bush passed by jingling a few of Rockerfeller's billions. He is John D.'s Hnan- cial secretary. Pauline Crowder is her boss's pet now just as she used to be teacher's pet back in 1922, true to the prediction of Helen Russum, Borneo style hairdresser. Anna Brown, Mabel Carstens and Hannah Clark are engaged as 'teachers in a make-your- self-be-seen-and-not-heard school. Then contrary to my expectations came Ad- eline Allen and Elizabeth Green who had be- come milk maids but since automatic milkers came in they have been out of work. Kellogg Finley and Harry Meyers were horse-shoers in a Ford garage. Behold, Thomas Baird, Randall Cowel, and Louis Hodgins who have completed a four year post-graduate course in order to become a salesman for a gasolene service station at Mead, ably assisted by Herndon McKay and Loran Shaw, specialists in mechanical oddities.

PAULIN E CROWDER AUDREY SMITH In witness hereof, l MEMORY Virginia Frost We leave thee, dear North Central, Go forging on alone Without thy ever-helping hand- I,ife's hardships all unknown. What though fleet time may hasten on, As pain and strife we bear, The mist of years may fade away And leave the sunshine there. The sunshine of our joyous youth, All happy and carefree, So, of the past We'll think once more, And dream, dear school, of thee.
