THE TAMARACK JANUARY, 1 9 3 t Class Prophecy In the year ISSt, my two coniimnions and I U-ft the l)iivcn))ort hotel, starting our rrturn trip to New York city. We, Hill Campbell, my apt jtigilo, (no offense, Kay) and Adelaide ( liamberlin, my corresponding secretary, are emi)loyed by the United States Corporation of Stocks and Bonds. The company sends us to different cities to investigate the associated companies. While we were in S))okajie, we were splen- didly entertained. ' J ' herc was a lovely luncheon given by the Come Up ' n See Me Sometime (iirls, at which Elsie Anderson presided and Spokane Smith gave a talk — Hip-Hip-Hoo- ray — very effective. Then there was that mar- velous concert — Bess .Adams presented her pu- jiils in series of bird calls. On the street we pas.sed Ivan Kinley, an u])-aJid-coming theatri- cal man, but still in the old home-town; there was Marjorie Millar still assisting him, (hold- ing his brief case???) We saw Art Mehllioff tearing through town on his motorcycle — kind of worn out and dilapidated (the cycle, I mean). As we left the hotel, Clarence Sirhmidt and Howard Wassenar, as bell-boys, took our bags (from football to baggage, not bud). The talkative miss behind the cigar counter was none other than my good old palsie-walsie, Gloria Mae Foss. Yes, and she was playing the flute — a very good way to a.ttract customers, what? The occupied young man who sw-ung the revolving doors smiled (believe it or not) an l we recognized William Gold, (tch, tch!). Ta.xi! Taxi! Where had I heard that bass voice before! Ah, I get it, Leo Hoclikind. Then (believe me) we had a siieedy ride to the air field (Leo ' s style, don ' t you know?). As we walked through the office of the air- port, we saw Clia.rles Herman Frazier broad- casting, typing, writing, talking, smiling, — What a man! Is zat so? We were met by two charming air hoste.s.ses who |)roved to be Betty Tuttle and Dorothy Maebelle .Vnderson — they ' ll make the men wel- come!! They told us that Helen Schumacher anil F.leanor Peterscm have similar occupa.tions at the other end of the line — Gracious, Helen, up to your old tricks? You too, Petey. They also tell us tliat l.,ee Pitts is now chief of ]K)lice in . ' Viipleton, Wisconsin. (Have you seen Kuth?) After we had entered the jilane and the motor had started, we heard above the noise of the motor a continual buzzing. Looking a- round, whom did we .see but Catherine Oliver and Vincent Sherman. Catherine is still talking about the gang and Vinney, a prospenms business man, is di.seussing the affairs of the government. Toward the rear of the plane was OaJe Van Hook, all alone, reading The Wo- man ' s Companion — but evidently still avoid- ing the female .species. Across from him was Helen Livingston who was reading True Con- fessions and wearing a diamond — not bad, Helen, not bad! Our i)lane landed in Wolf Point, Mont., ami who came galloi)ing up to us but Milt Thoni])- son — now bowlegged but still the Ruff-an ■ Heady Gent of past years, (Ride ' em Big Card!). Oh yes, his ))ardncr in crime is Wes Tollenaar. Then, in Chicago, we stopped over an lio ' ir. Since it was lunchtime, we went to the Stevens hotel and were met at the door by Willard Roe, who, remembering our high school days, liK)k us to a back seat (what a pal!). A charm- in g waitress came to take our order and we .saw that it was Virginia Bauer — she .seems to have ot there. On the menu were the names of Ruth Ofelt and Clifford Hultgren, hea l cook and bottle-washer, respectively. We bought a Chicago Daily and saw an article saying that Margaret Hutterfield was suing Mason Lang for divorce, naming C ' )r- rine Knauber as correspondent. Earl Fossuui, the |)opular divorce lawyer of the day, was defending Mi.ss Knauber. Mary Mills, also a lawyer, was collecting evidence for Mrs. Lang. (Now that ' s a story.) There was another item saying that Pauline Mau.ser had started a home for wa.yward boys. She ' ll certainly ))ut them in their place. Her assistants were Hazel Burr and P ' rances Cole. Frances must have changed her ideas and motives. Another article .said that .Mr. Roderick Paddock had just been elected president of the best and most promi- nent Business Men ' s club in Chicago. That re- minds us of the class of Jan., 193-t. You In-t it was the best and aren ' t we ))roud of them — now, past and future? You bet we are.

THE TAMARACK JANUARY. 1934 Class History The class of January ' ' H is proud to leave a record of their achievements to the students in North Central. Most of us entered as the proverbial green freshmen from the Sjiokane grade schools, while the rest of us joined the ranks as sopho- mores from Havermale. Once we got started there was no stoi)i)!ng us. This class has turned out f() )H)all ])layers and leaders in wholesale lots. Some of North Central ' s best athletes in the history of the .school are leaving with our class. Howard Wassenar and Clarence Schmidt are among those leaving us for greener fields. These boys were all-city men this year. With the excellent coaching of Mr. Buckley and lots of enthusiasm from the student body we won the cliani])ionship of S))okane. The game was playetl by our team this year as it ' s rarely played in high schools. This class had more than the usual number of students who had exceptional executive abil- ity. RiKlerick l add(K ' k, known generally by his friends as Spud, headed both the senior 13 and senior A classes as i)resident. The honor of being president for two times in succession speaks for itself — so no more need be said. Spokane Smith was secretary of both the senior B and senior A class, and proved lier- self very capable in this office, and in many others. Catherine Oliver was president of the Girls ' League, and Vincent Sherman was presi- dent of the Boys ' Federation. Everyone knows they proved themselves to be capable as lead- ers, besides having charming personalities. The class of January ' 34 has backed with utmsual spirit all the school projects that have been undertaken. They have tried, and with success to keep the spirit and pep that has made North Central famous throughout the country. North Central loses with this class her foot- ball ))rincess of lf)Xi in the ])ersonage of Elsie Anderson. . sk anyone what a queen she really is. Clifford Hultgren, Alice Marr, Kenneth Gallagher and Bill Melson made up the prom committee. With the pep and salesmanship of these four | eople, anything would have to be a success. The prom was held on Friday, Jan- uary 19. . nd will anyone of us who attended that ))rom ever forget it? The .senior dramatics class made their debut with The Goose Hangs Higli, a three-act comedy. Those who took leads in the annual ] roductii)n were: Bess Adams, Chuck Frazier (who was also editor in chief of the North Central News, and as.soeiate editor of our Tammy ), Eleanor Peterson, Bill Melson, Ivan Emly and Marjorie Millar. After kid day which recalls the pleasures of all our school life we are ready with smiles and tears to turn the school over to the coming senior A ' s. Our time has come and we must go. Though we are perfectly willing to face the future with wimt it has in store for us, a feeling of sadness creejis into our hearts as the old doors at the .south entrance clo.se behind us and we face the bright light.s — and what- ever we may be expected to face in the future. CukkI old North Central. We ' ll never forget it! SIGNED: HELEN SCHUM. CHER, Chairman MILUKEU HITCHIE FREEMAN JENSEN + + I STAND ALONE Skc ' onu Phizk Pokm liy Gale Woods I stand alone Within the walls of my lonely heart No one has tried to reach the jiortals Of this shell that hides me They look at me in wonder They misinterpret my coldness .My silent manner, my indifferent look Nor have they tried to fathom the depths Of this mortal heart of mine I miss the joys of one who is understood The hai)piness of one who has known love I shrug my .shoulders and smile And no one knows of the hurt that dwells Here in my soul — Instead, I stand alone Within the walls of my lonely heart , nd lift my arms to God in prayer That someday I, too, shall know The bliss of standing not alone.
