Miss Brand was chosen class advisor. . adapted to our surroundings and made unusual progress our first year. The next year, being Sophomores, We gained more recognition than and literary activities. we had been able to claim the year previous. We were well represented in football and other athletics. We also took prominent parts in scholastic When we returned to S. M. H. S. in the fall of '26 we found many of our former members were not present. Many had quit and others had dropped out owing to illness. In spite of the fact that We were the smallest class in school at this time, we did not become discouraged but determined 4 to work harder and accomplish more than we had in former years. We proved our efforts not in vain by the Junior-Senior Banquet which was a huge success. As Seniors we have accomplished several worth while things. Among these are the publication of the Argus, which has been unusually good this year, sponsoring the annual high school Christmas program and tree, the publication of a larger Purple and Gold than ever beforeg organization of a dramatic club which has filled a long-felt want in S. M. H. S., presentation to our Alma Mater of a 'fine Orthophonic Victrolag banquet given the senior boys and football squad by the senior girls, and production of a creditable class play. A We do not deserve all the credit for these accomplishments, but we take this opportunity to thank the various teachers and class sponsors who have helped us solve our problems through our four years of high school life. -L.

Tonight the heat and sultry moonlight seemed to make me sadder and more lcncsomc than I had ever been before. Camping on the edge of a desert, doing missionary work among natives, and trying my best, together with the other Americans, to show this country a war was not necessary, was indeed keeping me busy. But somehow tonight my mind kept wandering back to old times, old friends, and scenes of my school days, shifting to and from my mind. Why was it that after twenty years I found the visions of my graduation day, in my mind as plain as they had been then? At last, getting up from my cushion in the door of my tent, I called a servant and ordered my fastest steed. Surely riding under the starry sky would make me forget how blue and lonesome I was tonight. Somehow, even this didn't help. My horse travelled like a ghost, light-footed and swift over the barren wastes, while idly I gazed at the stars, each seeming to twinkle and smile back at me in the face of an old school friend. Surely I was seeing things-no, it was Damon Poole in that star smiling at me- the same Damon, but with an older and more mannish smile. How plainly I could see him! Now he was walking along a busy street and now entering a large building. In electric lights at the top flashgd The Chicago Tribune. Could Damon. have realized his ambitions? Yes, he was entering the office marked Editor. He sat at the massive desk, and who was that familiar face at his side? Betty Bills! Of course she would be capable of being his private secretary. The star twinkled and this time Leora Hawkins was looking at me. She had the same amusing smile, and how strange she too was in the same building. At her door was written, Special Reporter. It was private, but I was allowed to peek at her. Stenographers busily surrounded her, taking dictation from this highest paid and best reporter in America. Damon had been lucky to secure her services. Would this wonderful vision last long enough for me to see my other school mates? Yes, in another star appeared a large theater, the sign's names appearing in French. My vision had taken me across the ocean. I read the sign Miss Edna Clovis, America's Songbird. She was spending two days in Paris while on her world tour. A large car drove up to the theater and out stepped Edna. Her many admirers were scattering roses at her feet. But who was that important looking man at the entrance, offering his arm to her? Sure enough, it was Glen Sunderman. There his name was in front of the theater as owner of it. My vision diappeared and the twinkling of another star drew my attention to it. It seemed to be France also, because I was being led through the streets and as I read l26l
