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

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.

iEEl 38,7313 that they no longer chose to be detectives, as they had something else in mind. Will it be a dual wedding, we wonder? At this juncture in the program Lenore herself steps forward and says it has already occurred in the south of England on the estates of Milady the Duchess of Caunterberry tnee Dot Hugentoblerl. England is so refreshing after living in America, Dot says, Over here one thinks about doing something and then does it; over there the thought and action are simultaneous. By the way, Mildred Healy has something to say to you all as President of the Federation of Womenls Clubs of America and Europe. The sum and substance of Mildredts plea is that money be given to Myra Lee Fish, missionary to Gennoweedianola and other heathen countries, to start a womenls club in each of her territories. Myra Lee claims that all the natives of her districts are quite civilized enough to enjoy a catty entertainment such as all clubs furnish. Charles Footlick, the captain and owner of several trans-Atlantic steamers, offers us all free passage to help in this demoralizing club work, so it is entirely up to the audience. lNe await your cheques. Howard Kuehn, the only artist who has a Whole room for his paintings in the Louvre. is illustrating Jane Bryces latest novel, Children of the Surf. A very touching story it is, about the little sea animals washed in by the tide. Yes, Jane is an authoress. The world doesnlt know it, but the world is awful, slow. Bill Sage is the only boy Who has kept to the simple life and shows it. Billls ambition once voiced in auditorium session was laughed at. But against all opposition he has become a successful farmer.
