...s lr I -- - fJg+ -1:41-5 -ri 1 frfll -E---his N W- 1 fm A Word To The Wise Having been made wise by experience and having a great interest in underclassinen, teachers and classmates we tender the following bits of advice hoping that these persons will give these hints due consideration and profit accordingly. It has been said, a word to the wise is sufficient, so: Doris Williamson: Now that you are graduating you should give more time to the fellows. Mr. Dallas: Discard out-of-date habits. Blushing is no longer considered p1'oper. Okey Cline: Stop giggling: you are past that age. George George: Don't be so sarcastic. You are not soured on life yet, we hope. Betty White: You are too vain about your dimples. Do away with them. French Fogle: Hurry up and grow or people won't realize you are a senior next year. Claude Daily: Be good! We like nice boys. Ruth Curtis: Keep on the good side of the senio1's, they're great people. r Mr. Weber: Treat 'em rough. They'll like you for it. Virginia Flint: Keep on being a shrinking violet, they're rare. Glen Sunderman: Now that you're through school don't give up your permanent. Juniors: Don't be so egotistical! Sophomores: Pep it up! We're betting on you. Freshmen: Don't feel hurt. You'll change color and name next fall. Dolph Cosper: You'll have to step on it if you're captain and Jinnie's beau too. FO1'9St Campbell: Have mercy on the ivories Cand the neighborsj Adelia Dye and Freda Poole: Dissolve pa1'tnership. We think ' it would be for the best. Bernard Fitzwater: Don't dislike the women.

What were they doing in California? I was soon to know. Roberta was a playwright and working under the famous director-Ruby's husband. Surely I was in the midst of a movie colony. Luella could only stay a few minutes-she must hurry to be on the lot in fifteen minutes. Luella in the movies-sure enough! And playing the wicked little vamp on the screen. Surely she would be a star of any movie lot. Next I found myself in a studio watching a comedian at work. Well, Dorothy White, how cleverly you act. And how earnestly the director, Delbert Higgins, was assisting her. Here two more classmates had won fame. Suddenly I wondered about the others, and fearfully I breathed lightly, should the magic spell that had come over me vanish. Ah! No, I Was to see the others. In a brightly lighted church in the west, in the pulpit stood Tyndall Samberson. Had Tyndall really become a preacher? I couldn't believe it, but it was true. The audience sat spell-bound as the famous Samberson uttered Words of wisdom. Near him sat Ruth Tenant. She Was leader of the enormous choir and a great worker among the people. In the audience sat Ruth Bayles, known as the best nurse in the country, and holding the highest certificate given to a lady nurse. Beside her sat Ava Vlfaggoner, chief dietition of New York State. Such records as these girls had established! Next I was to see Erma Fulmer in her country estate at Long Island, seated at her desk Writing poetry. Had her vocabulary never failed? On her bookshelves were all her famous works which were to go down in American literature. Hattie Shingleton was the last classmate I was to see. She looked very earnestly out of a star at me. To myself I asked her what she was doing but I was soon to know that she too had made herself famous with the other students of '28, In a beautiful estate she sat with her dogs. Hattie had married a financier, and with her kind heart had made her beautiful home a place for homeless dogs. How fine they all Were. I- Your horse, madam --somebody said in a deep foreign voice. I jumped up quickly and looked around. I could see no beautiful grounds but only a sandy desert and my servant standing with my horse. Again he spoke, seeing my surprise, Madam, Reezin sorry-had to catch bad horse-couldn't return at once-you been asleep. He was right, I had fallen asleep. With little explanation I took my horse and went for the ride I thought I had taken. My heart was happy though. I gazed at the stars that seemed to return my gaze, mockingly, but smiling I said- Dear lights of heaven-through you I have seen and been proud of my classmates, and am happy to know each one has realized his or her ambitions and won fame, through early training within the halls of dear old S.

The first number was a dance given by a number of girls dressed like the gay ladies of the eighties. They also sang two very late songs, Peg O' My Heart and The Bird on Nellie's Hat. The whole class took part in imitating a sight seeing bus, driving through St. Marys. Many places of interest were pointed out to the pleasure seekers. The detective act and an A. B. C.
