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.

fEditor's Note--This time worn manuscript found in the ruins of Room 207- , Alliance High Schooll ROMAN HISTORY AENEID MODERNUM 4 My dear, we are simply dying to hear about your adventures on that big, rough, old sea,4Aeneas. 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

ROMAN PHILOSOPHY The winds howled around the cliffsg the rain beat upon the rocksg the thunclers roared in the heavens when Lfseeking refuge from the fury of the elements, forced my way into a secluded cave in the mountain side. Then peering around the gloomy depths, I was aware of the presence of a personage hardly tobe distinguished from the weather-beaten rocks of her mountain home. Watching her I found she was intently writing upon leaves which she carelessly strewed upon the ground. Leaves-a cave- an old woman--surely this must be Sibyl, the famed prophetess of ancient Rome! ! She did not seem aware of my presence so I curiously picked up a hand- ful of the leaves. Familiar names held my gaze. You, 0 Mathias Kohl, will find happiness as editor of 'The Ladies Home Journal,' I read. Pauline Haines, Elsie Bigler, and Edythe Roth will some day fill the respec- tive positions of Miss Alden, Miss Hendrickson and Miss Jane Dilley. Charles Trump will tour the country giving a series of lectures on how to graduate in three and one-half years. Talent will bring fame and re- nown to Esther Harkins and her violin. Aileen Maus will make a name for herself by being the only person to float across the English Channel. And hastily picking up more leaves I continued to read-- Steve Kor- osy's system of moving-markets will accumulate for him a fortune second only to that of Arthur Moore who will own a chain of Five and Ten Cent stores over the whole country. Frances Miller, Dorothy Barnard and Mary Rowland will set up a printing office for the purpose of publishing Latin-ponies. Coming to the aid of suffering humanity as a missionary, Frances Jarnagin will sell a new remedy for freckles and tan to the Indians on a reservation in Arizona. Virgil Speidel will tour the country in the Redpath Chautauqua lecturing on 'How to be an Athlete? Still Sibyl did not seem aware of my presence so I continued to read, hoping to find every member of the January Class of 1929 settled happily and for the good of all concerned. The class will certainly be famous for I discovered that Paul Cox will play in Paul Whiteman's orchestrag Bernice Vernon will star on Broadwayg John England will pose as an Arrow Collar man and Lois Anderson will be a classic dancing teacher. Harold Stark will some-day hurry. Jeannette Robertson and Ethel Lewis will be expert gum chewers and nurses. David Haskell will represent the U. S. A. in tennis at the Olympic games and William Boehm will be the only reason why Bobby Jones lost his title. Helen Plajer and Jeannette Braden will al- ways be the reasons why gentlemen prefer blondes and Edna and Helen Lacher will always look alike. Charles Bieri will be a big game hunter in Africa. George Biery and Robert Vaughan will be two speed kings on the big race-track in Indianapolis. Mary Everhart will be a leading member of the Man Hater Club and strive for a chance at the presidency of the United States. But alas! A gust of wind whirled the leaves from the cave. I en- treated the Sibyl to prophesy further, but in vain-the prophecies once blown away were never retrieved. -Dorothy Danner. as
