CLASS PROPHECY I had a dream the other night, About our Senior Class; And in it there was shown to me What things would come to pass. Edith Kifer will go to Paris, A. beauty expert there to be. Little Eva will go to China To curl the hair of the Chinese. Helen Hughes a second Garbo, Will for a prince make a good wife. Not so, with jolly Barbara Who for writing fame will strive. Next come flirtatious Mona, Who still believes to love them all. Dorothy Albright just the opposite, She sticks to one, the first of all. Betty Bailey will own a circus She and Dusty will do the tricks I Elizabeth Bailey will go to Cumberland, Where she and Vic will pay two bits. Virginia Berkstresser, an office slave, Will type and toil, day by day. But not so domestic Hattie, Who'll for her brother work away. Frances Cullen will go to Duke, And she won't be back very soon. Joseph Cypher will stay at home, And have a farm, and raise coons. Leota Davis quiet and nice, Will hitch up with an old friend Tom. Glen Defibaugh our bashful boy, Will raise chickens on a farm. Next comes our good friend Mary, A lone missionary will she be. Not so with lovely Alice, Who'll count her children one, two, three. Howard Dorman, the Senior hit, Will try his lick at law. Hilda Hoover, her poems will exhibit, And many large crowds will draw. 19

to our Alma Mater as upper classmen. ''e did not go to the old high school but entered the Saxton Liberty High School as Juniors. e felt that we had reached a very desirable position. me first social event of the year was a Kallov.'een partv in the new auditorium. Our football season was filled with many victories for our school. Our boys continued to work hard and when basket- ball season came again won honors. Along in May we held our Junior picnic at Paradise Furnace. About thirty members of the class and Mr. Graham and Hiss McCahan were with us. e all enjoyed the delicious hot dogs and marshmallows. e had a very good time swimming and playing ball. Vacation was welcomed with great joy, for we had worked during the year and were glad to rest from school routine. On September 3, 1936, it was with varied emotions that we walked across town for our final enrollment. Now that we had finally reached that goal towards which we had long striven, it did not seem so desirable. But we realized with regret that this would be our last year in our Alma Mater, which we had learned to love so well. 'Then roll was called most of the old students answered to the call; a few had fallen by the wayside. Two girls came from Dudley to finish their four jrears of high school. It has been rumored that a few of our class mates have set sail upon the matrimonial sea. Election was held and the honored ones were Howard Dorman, President, Betty Eichelberger, Vice President, Dorothy Albright, Secretary, Betty Stapleton, Treasurer. The basketball team did very well this year, 'e won the Tussey Mountain League and lost to Boswell in a championship game. The football team made a good showing too. Here Comes Charlie was presented by our class under the directions of Miss Long, in the new high school auditorium on Friday, December 11, 1936. •Ve have enjoyed the work as well as the play during these years, e have considered seriously the benefits as well as the pleasures these years have brought us. Under the leadership of an excellent faculty and school board we have studied and planned and as a result of their kindness and tolerance we shall go out into the world. Thus we end our eventful history, realizing that tomorrow we, too, shall be history. 18 Joe Cypher
