Senior Class Prophecy I graduated from high school with the desire to travel. I had been out of school ten years and saved enough money to take a trip to a few of the large cities in the United States. I decided to go to New York as I always Wanted to see a large city. While walking down the street everyone seemed to be going in the same direction. I followed the crowd to see where they were going. After walking about a block I saw a large sign which read, Palace Theater. The attractions for the evening were, Mildred McClelland and Clarence Hertle starring in 'Butcher Knife Love' and the 'Kish Hardman Vaudeville Company'. After the show I went to the stage door and had a fine visit with my old classmates. As it was late I began to look for a hotel where I could stay all night. As I did not know where to go I thought I would inquire of a policeman, who proved to be no other than Vernon Custer. He informed me the way to the hotel and also that he and Miriam had been married just one year. I Went the direction I had been directed and after walking two blocks and turning to my left I saw this sign, The Straw Hotel. I went in and as Madge and I were talking she told me that Elmer Switzer had been rooming there. I asked her if he was one of her star boarders and she said, No, he is just an idle roomerf' Madge had Charlotte Kline assisting her in the hotel business. The next morning while I was waiting, I picked up a newspaper, the New York Herald, and turning to the editorial page found that John Williman was the editor of the paper. I turned to the society page and read where Mr. Harold Skinner and Mrs. Skinner, formerly Miss Alice Owens, delightfully entertained a number of their friends at the beautiful Skinner home at 219 East South Street. The next day I left New York and went to Washington. In Washington I met one of my classmates, in the person of Evan Owens. Who was United 'States Senator. He informed me that Marvin Cowan, another of my old classmates, was ending a very successful year as manager of the Senator Baseball Team. From Washington I went to Chicago Where I visited Pauline Brunni and Margaret Yagle who were doing a very proitable business in a millinery store. As I had been away from home for some time I decided to return to Ohio City. VVhen I arrived at the station I hardly knew Where I was. The town had made many changes. There were several new business places which were not there when I left. I I learned that Donald VJaltcrs 'and Mrs. Walters, formerly Miss Doris Temple, were still in the drug business. Down the street a little ways was a barber shop and beauty parlor combined. The proprietors proved to be no other than Harold Johnson and Lucille Dull. Across the street from the barber shop was a grocery store, advertised as, The Smiths Grocery. The Smiths proved to be Dode and Hugh of the Senior Class of 1928. ' IVIADGE WI'fTEN

The Grumhlleir Oh my, I don't like to grumble and never do unless it's absolutely necessary: but if some people were in my shoes, they would wish they were dead. I some- times wish I was dead too, but it doesn't do any good. I just have to come to school every day whether I feel like it or not. It wouldn't be so bad if I could study in a nice new building but to come to this old building every day and see the grand new one we will not use is enough to give anyone a headache. It's a wonder our brains don't become as cloudy as those walls smoky because that's all we have to look at all day long. Then those teachers, I'd think they would have a little mercy and give a fellow a rest sometime. Just because they have the advantage they think that they can work a man to death. W'el1, I might as well be dead as have to take Physics the first thing every morning after arriving at school. Mr. Cotter- man must think we know everything about electric currents the way he asks questions. I don't like electricity any way. You can't see it but you sure can feel the effects when it goes through your body. Oh dear, I'm getting tired of hearing music. About all one hears around this school any more is singing. I don't see why they have Eisteddfods. The noise made at them makes me think of cows. Cows don't know any better, but students in high school should have more gumption. Well, I'm glad school is about out. It must be about 3:55 at least. I don't see why the janitor doesn't get a new watch. It's about fifty-seven seconds slow every day. There's the bell at last. I thought it never would ring. Well, good-bye, I hope you enjoyed my talk and will come again. Sk PF if lk It was a clear moonlight night after the Junior-Senior Banquet. A car came down the road lurching dizzily. Vernon had one arm around Miriam and drove with the other. The car gave a great swing and then straightened out on the road again. Oh, Vernon, cried Miriam, please use both hands. I Can't, replied Vernon grimly, gotta drive with one. Dk DF lk if Science Teacher-Now tell of the effect of the moon on the tide. Red Johnson-I don't know what effect it has on the tide, but I can tell you about the effect it has on the untied. FK HK 41 Pk In planning for Eisteddfod: Miss Platt-Evelyn, do you think you would be able to sing a solo? Evelyn-Alone? Miss Platt-Yes. Evelyn--Oh, I'd be tickled to death. un--nun-nu annun-nnnuuunnuu::::::::::::: ...uunu-uuuu-u nunnuuuuunuuuns-n::::::::: '
