Y, The Heralding of the Seniors The sun was radiantly smiling upon Van Buren, as I was busily recalling old times with my friend on the veranda. Suddenly she called my attention to the names of Fern Thomas and Culver Gorsuch, who had recently introduced a bill on the reg' ulation of traffic for airplanes. Later our conversation drifted to the activities of the Van Buren school. Georgia was successfully teaching vocal music. Marian, a lonely bachelor, had established a record as a music teacher, Margaret VVerner was an efficient Smith Hughes Home Economic teacher. Hattie was a competent suc- cessor of Miss Baker as a teacher of foreign languages, while Kenneth Hartman was progressing in the ministry at the United Brethren church in Van Buren. VVe must go to Findlay next VVednesday, all day, and attend the Redpath Chau- tauqua and hear our old friend. Kenneth Moorehead sing in the forenoon, then we must go to the 'Jiffy Beauty Parlor,' and chat with the managers, Jessie and Cathryn Koons, exclaimed my friend. Indeed, we must visit them, and also I received fl letter from my old pal, Kathryn Huntington, who has succeeded Mary Pickford in Hollywood, California, and, by the way, did Ruth and Alice become nurses? Yes, and very successful ones, too, she said. Did you know Deyous was a dancing instructor at Findlay, and Donald is taking the place of his uncle, Doctor Hartman ? Really, was my answer, and, Vernard an author, VVhere is Lucille? Oh, Lucille is an elocution teacher at Detroit, and Vernard's book of 'Onward To Success,' is popular. You know that was our class motto. Also my friend Evelyn is a teacher in North Baltimore. VVe planned a trip for the afternoon. As it was getting rather late, we started her stubborn airplane and finally flew towards the home of Aura, where we were introduced to her husband, and were cordially entertained by them. She informed us that Virgil was a Civil Service detective, while Noah was a strict Mayor of McComb. Gertrude is now living in Michigan, and is prospering on a farm, she added. My friend then picked up the Morning Republican and showed me the cartoon of the Gumps, andto my surprise the name of LeRoy Trout was signed to it. VVhere is our sponsor, Mr, Pugh, I demanded. Haven't you heard? exclaimed Aura. He is the State Superintendent and Constance is his faithful private Secretary. Vi'e continued our visit, then my friend and 1 flew back home discussing happy school days. OUX' ARE VVE PROUD OF OUR CLASS? WELL I SHOULD SAY VVE ARE! -CAROLYN KING -EMELINE KEMPHER CLA SS VVe, being the class of Twenty-Five Have a few more words to say Before leaving this school forever And going upon life's way. Oh, colors of Olll' Senior class Colors so white and so blue Cherished by true hearted classmates To these may we ever be true.

Nineteen hundred and twenty--two, lVe were Sophomores, as every one knew, No drowsy drones in this class of ours For we were husp all the hours, The other classes saw us go round. And closely watched us with a frown YVe left them without a 'lLaurel to their crown. lt was on the twenty-fifth of May' That the Sophomores finished their relay. Fourth of September-the beginning day- XVe took up our books, and left our play, 'Twas the only chance to make our grades, The instructors were just as strong as their will. And always kept the assembly room still. One class was just as strong as the restg But they fell before our strong agress And thus we soon won out. The fifteenth of May' in twenty-five The Senior class will take a drive, Now lower classmen get out of the way Here comes the Senior class for the last' relay. Drawn by ambition and pep, lfach carefully planning his next step And hoping for success and health ln this fair world of ours. This is the end of the Senior Class. Logic is Logic, That's all we say. -VIRLPIL Dove 2 5? v. 'W' tp.--, Wei: L, ...-...,.,.-1, , .f- ,,,e a 4. lfrmrteezi
