(T94-J c s Rich Hates McDermott Sanders Stiff Junior History ACT ONE Freshman Place: Albany Junior High Schools. Time: 1926-1927. The class of 1930 starts its long journey through High School in the Junior Highs, Central and Madison, with an attendance of eighty-four. ACT TWO Sophomores Place: Albany Senior High School. Time: 1927-1928. The next year finds our once timid, bashful, yet quite courageous Fresh- men posing as wise Sophomores, all striving to do their part—as the saying goes, “Work hard, Sophs, and you’ll be a Senior some day. It is not long before the Sophs are swung into the flood of activities of the High School. The following officers elected for the ensuing year are: Frank Niles, president; Wesley Nesbitt, vice-president; Elwood Trapp, secretary; Ray- mond Neugart, treasurer; Raymond Rich, representative to Student Council. ACT THREE Juniors Place: Albany Senior High School. Time: 1928-1929. When another year passes, we find that our brave Sophomores have become much braver Juniors. They exhibit their ability on Thanksgiving by presenting the play, “The First Thanksgiving.” These zealous Juniors win the interclass basketball championship for 1928. This year the officers are Raymond Rich, president; Lloyd Bates, vice- president; Mark Sanders, secretary; Guy Stiff, treasurer; Mary Merrill, Junior reporter; Frank Niles, representative to the Student Council. ACT FOUR Seniors (This act is not yet presented, but we venture the hope that the class will graduate in 1930 with a one-hundred per cent average.) 27

- State of Illinois and was stationed in Chicago during the beer war and the rule of the gangsters.” “We shall now hear from our friend, Eldon Cady, the president of the American Railway Express.” “I began life as the son of a mailman, and consequently had a good start in the world. I refused to go to school until one day I was offered the position of president of this great company. I immediately finished school and made a fortune.” “Dorothy Conner Rohrbough, whom we haven’t seen for a long time, will now have the floor.” “I was very happy. Harlan was always good to me, until one day a black-haired snake stole him from me. In my sorrow I went to Jack Berry, who took me to wife. As missionaries we sailed to South Siberia to minister to the savages. When the news of this trip was broadcast, we journeyed across country to this place, and here we are as dead—or might as well be.” Walter stood in silence for some moments and then called on the noted evangelist, Bob Stevens. “Well,” said Bob, “I used to be very hare-brained and carefree, but suddenly the real responsibilities of life overwhelmed me. I became a minister, trying to lead others into the correct way of living.” “We haven’t heard from Dorothy Chambers yet,” said Walter. “Dorothy, what have you been doing with your life?” “I?” said Dorothy. “I had a very trying time as wife of Walter Keefe. I was forced to go among the Amazulu in the Kraal of Duzulagoe in South Rhodesia. Finally Walter turned missionary. There we were and with no visible means of escape, until this expedition lured us here.” “Now,” said Walt, “we are all tired. Shall we sleep for another hundred years? Then we shall raise to continue our conversation. Dr. Stevens, if you will lead us in prayer, we shall again drift to oblivion.” Thus ended the recital of activities of the class of 1929. Some were happy, others were unhappy, and still others were famous, but in the end they were all gathered together to die in the same place. 2f
