Our class entertained the other classes with a party at the Town Hall on November, the twenty-second. There were quite a few members of the Senior class who were admitted to the National Honor Society. Margaret Goeke and Frances Byrne were chosen last year and Ethel Baker, Ruth Coehrs, Ross Crom, Fern Hufford, Frances Mandell, Barbara Sattler, and Melvina Kiuhlman were chosen just before Christmas Vacation. There were many Seniors who took part in literary and athletic activities throughout the school year. We did our utmost to bring honor to P. H. S. We chose Orchid and Green as our class colors, the Sweet Pea as our flower. As our class motto we chose Seize the Opportunity-Carpe Diem. Under the sponsorship of Mr. Riggle, our Senior year has been successful. H E H Ode to the Class of Thirty-One Out of the stage of learning, Into the stream of life: A Wz'th ambition in our hearts a-burning, We go forward to meet the strife. As we bid our fond friends adiea, And our hearts with emotion are afire When at last our school life is through, Mau this be our one desire: That each member of our class, This class of Nineteen Thirty-One, May look back, as the swift gears pass, On noble deeds and work well done. l 9 3 l Twenty-Nine

The class chose the following officers to lead them in their activities during their last year: l 9 3 l Twenty-Eight

4 1931 ++ ld BLACK GCDLD + -QLETN Class Prophecy By Avonelle Pyers As I was walking down one of the smaller streets in a foreign part of New York one day in June, 1931, I saw, among the small dingy signs, one upon which these words were inscribed: Madame Gustave Haberdinger Fortune Teller The place looked so interesting that I entered. As I seated myself before Madame Haberdinger, I asked her if she would be able to tell the fortunes of my classmates. She said that she could and proceeded to do so. Looking into her crystal she droned in a dull, monotonous voice: First, I see your class president, James Anderson. He is representing Ohio in the United States Senate. Vivian Schoenberger, who has been married to a movie director, is now filing suit for divorce. She has engaged Stanley Hoffman as her lawyer. f'In a great silver-winged monoplane making its way toward New York. I see John Fackleman as pilot. With him, as his passengers, are Jessie Acklin, Junior Riggle and Dorothy Jane Van Brimer. Jessie and her husband are on their honeymoon. She has just married a wealthy Italian Count. Junior Riggle, is on his Way to take a position as professor at Princeton University. Dorothy Jane is one of the successful singers of the Chicago Opera Company. f'Gladys McConaha and Mildred Mandell, as heads of the Vv'oman's Club at Cleveland, have iust received as their guests, Lida May Sutter, Frances Byrne, and Ruth Coehrs.
