THE GIFT OF THE FEBRUARY CLASS OF 1928 tt 3 7 OUR high school days are the happiest days of your lifefl When Freshmen we laughed at this well-known saying, but as Seniors we knew that truer words were never spoken. Our Class, like most February classes, was small in number but great in purpose. Our desire was to give a suitable gift to dear old Norwood High, so that we might in some measure express our grati- tude for all the opportunities and advantages she gave us. Therefore, after a great deal of thought and much discussion, we decided to decorate the two trophy cases in the new gymnasium, We hope that our gift will be as beautiful and effective a background to the trophies placed therein as Norwood High has been to us.

FEBRUARY CLASS PROPHECY EADLINES! Headlines everywhere! Famous Members of Famous Class hold a Reunion at Their Alma M ater, in the large auditorium 0f the new N orwood High School. Eats only $20.00! Come one, come all, to hear of the true adventures of a truly marvelous class! Elizabeth J ones opens the program with a report on her teachings among the natives of Borneo. Funny, she says that they just lap up her algebra like so much cream. But the interesting part of her story is the fact that she found Virginia Drumhellerts head there, hanging from the belt of a head hunter. By miraculous healing powers the head was replaced and Virginia, hale and hearty, stands among us. She claims that, while in the land of shades, she could see every one she knew. She saw the premiere of the play, ttCherchez la Femme, noted for its wit and having the distinction of being entirely without female characters. The play was written, directed and acted by Theodore Verbarg, who traced his dramatic ambitions to the Class Play. Dick Lindsay, who was struggling for an M. D. degree when last we saw him, was overcome by dire thoughts of the return of ghosts and so gave up doctoring as a bad job. He is now overseer of foreign funeral homes. The F. F. H. CO. sent him to China, where he saw Lee Boerstler and William Grover. They had a special song and dance act which kept the relatives of the dear departed in tears. Queer habit of the Chinese, but they keep paid entertainers in the house for a month after a death. But this is such an incentive to crime that the governor of China, a peace-loving man, has decided to abolish it. Adolf Almgren is the ttgov? by the way, and a very good one he makes. He said that one day when the servants were all on a strike he answered the door himself and saw Bob Brown there as big as life. Bob, because of his gift of gab, took up salesmanship. As a side line he posed for collar ads. Now, if you think from this that he is good looking, look on page 18 in this Annual and you will quickly discover your mistake. Bob was telling the ugovf' about the International Detective Agency formed by Alberta Kuntz and Lenore Brown. It was paying high dividends, he said, when all of a sudden the two girls blushingly reported at a directors, meeting 24
