The guests are getting rather bored. Maybe you could pep them up with a few palpitating tales. Thus said Dido, Queen of Carthage, addressing her boy friend, Aeneas, whom she was entertaining at a banquet. As she talked, she coyly reached over and pulled one of the yellow curls of the manly hero. Aeneas, who had been politely stifling yawns all evening, immediately propped himself up on his couch with his elbow at this suggestion, for there was just one thing he loved better than talking about himself--that was having an audience to listen to him talking about himself. With these words he began his tale: ' if 1 lk Ik ii ll i , Well, when it got too hot for me in Troy, I took my friends and em- barked upon the pond for a little joy-ride. Before very long a terrific storm stranded our fleet upon a little island inhabited by the Seekers After Knowl- edge, and containing the City of Alliance High School. Casting my lot with other new arrivals like myself, I entered with fearful heart, knowing little of what lay beyond. This was in January of the year '25. But from the start the citizens treated us kindly and allowed us to take a part in the af- fairs of the city. Our group was organized into the Class of January '29, with a full set of officers, and Miss Eleanor Ellett was selected as our patron goddess. Members were selected as representatives to the governing body, the Student Council, then being organized. Already our gladiators were winning renown on the basketball floor. The next June Miss Ellett relinquished her guidance and Miss Helen Ramsayer offered her protection as patron goddess. Many members devel- oped into actors and musicians, and pursued the Fine Arts. In January, '26, the the Class acquired the title of Sophomore. New officers were again 31

chosen, who delighted the class with a bacchantic revel at the Ohio Public Service banquet hall. The city showed its appreciation for the class by electing class members as officers in many of its societies. The last part of the Sophomore year was made memorable by a Christmas revel held at the Elks Hall, with gifts for everyone. Bad luck seemed to trod upon the footsteps of the class, devising means of taking the patron goddesses, for in the Junior year the class was com- pelled to seek a new one once more. Miss Lucille Woods consented to super- vise our little group. In this year two more societies opened up their por- tals to Class members. The Girl Reserve and Hi-Y welcomed the members who immediately assumed an important. part in the activities. The class' jinx was still on the trail, and Miss Woods was lost to the class. But then, it seems, a heavenly vision revealed Miss Sara Bolick to the worried mem- bers, and the class gained a patron goddess who has remained immeasur- ably loyal and untiring in her services to the class. With her aid the Sen- iors of the Class of '28 were entertained with feasting, dancing and dra- matics at the High School gymnasium at a Prom, said by officials of the city to be the iinest ever given. All too soon we became Seniors and began our last year at A. H. S. During the first part of the year we all took part in a jolly treasure hunt which ended with prizes and feasting. Then came the last part of my stay, which was made memorable by a round of Senior activities. I bade farewell to City of Alliance High School with regret in my heart, tears in my eyes, and a diploma in my hand, and set out to seek more adventure. il 11 8 lk ll lk Ik With these words Aeneas ended his tale, which had held his audience breathless with wonder as they heard it. Even Dido, for once having no words to express her feelings, could only gaze in rapt admiration at her hero and thought that she too might have spent four such joyous years in Alli- ance High School. Virgil, 32 Per Frances Miller.
