VVe will admit it has been a long hard chase during which many changes have taken place Our first year was spent mostly in getting acquainted with each other and the ways of High School. About the middle of the year, we moved into the new building and had to learn the ways to the various class-rooms all over again. During our freshmen year Evelyn Hoschler was our class president W'e were not very active during our Sophomore year, but this was due mostly to faculty regulations and not because we lacked the pep. Bernice Burnett was elected class president this year Our Junior year was a very busy year as it was up to us to give the junior-Senior Banquet. VVith the cooperation of the whole class and the help of our sponsor Miss Paden, we succeeded in putting on a Carnival in the Gym XYe have taken part in all school activities and have been strongly represent ed in all activities. During this year Oma Ogden hlled the important position of president. Now as Seniors as we stand ready to go out in the world, we look back upon our four years of high School as successful and happy CLASS PROPHECY Ten years after our graduation from dear ald Akron High, I was seated in an open chair before a fire, I picked up a newspaper hoping to direct my mind from the problem of the day.

Watcliing the fire I noticed it held me as if by magic, revealnig to me my old classmates as if they were present. One flame seemed to spring up from the rest, bringing with it a picture of my pal, Carrie Akers, with her wild firey broncho out an a large range in Arizona, where she has space to expand her lungs Next to my surprise, appeared Harvey Taylor, as a famous actor, taking -s Q r 6 'L K ' ' . s SQA' I CT: -. 1 .4 5 Twenty YYSQSSHQQKCQIKQQCHHQQQHQQQQHHQQHQQXXQKKXQXXYHKQKSQSSSKKQSHQHYQQQKQKQKHHHHHKKYQQQYQYKYXKXXHS A ..
