CLASS HISTORY Mrs. Keep was a very much perplexed teacher when in September, 1918, a group of forty-four children were given over to her, whose duty it was to teach us the fundamentals of education. Our first two years were spent in pleasure, but we found them very essential in our later life. In the second and third years our teachers were ] Iiss Schovill and Miss Crain respectively. During this time several new addi¬ tions were made to our class; namely, George Beebe, Lyle Webb, and Donald Dick. But for every gain there must be some loss. Our loss was the moving away of Nellie Masters, Willis Ransburg, and Chrystal Holmes, and the ad¬ vancement of Marion Yoder, Kathryn Ramsay, and Raymond Leininger. No noteworthy incidents occurred in the fourth and fifth rooms. Suffice it to say that we lived and in some way came to be promoted to the sixth grade in January, 1928. Our teachers in tln se rooms were Miss Goodale and Miss Par- sell in the fourth grade, Miss Schinbeckler in the fifth grade, and Miss Coveil in the sixth grade, each of whom contributed greatly to the development of our somewhat feeble minds. During this time Opal Wright, Perry Louis Gay, and Mary Lampman cast their lot with us, to share our adventures, our trials, and our tri bulations. Nelson Soles, Mary Moffett, Lillian Avery, Edward Waller, Elizabeth Lucas, and Betty Graf moved away. In the seventh and eighth years under the direction of Miss Wright, Miss McWilliams, Mrs. Keckler, and Mrs. Akey respectively, we were given the finishing touches of grade school training, and in January, 1926, we were promoted to high school. By this time our class had grown both physically and mentally. Here we were joined by Glema Penick, June Gordon, Russell Burkhalter, and Betty Graf. At this time Cecil Dolph and Mary Lampman moved to other parts. We were introduced into the ways of high school by Mr. Hayes who was then principal, and after considerable effort and worry, we advanced from freshman to sophomore, from sophomore to junior, and from junior to senior where we now receive the honors of graduation. During our high school course we were joined by Gordon Rose. Paul Groshon, John Zimmerman, Bessie Horn, Imogene Blackburn, Leona Folck, Hope Sutton, Malinda Niehous, Martra Helme, and Bonnita James. To our regret we lost during our high school career Teddy Parrott, Jordan Woodhull, and Mary Lampman, all of whom moved away, and Helen Helme and June Gordon who were graduated in three and one half years. Among the forty-four who started in the primary grade, only fifteen are left to graduate. They are Robert Stevens, Charles Triplett, Ruth Guilford, Margaret Mast, Katherine Wilder, Lewis Williamson, Ilene Ilolderness, Eliza¬ beth Harshman, Robert Ritter, Henry Willis, Doris Clark, Edna Carpenter, Lois Harman, Betty Graf, and Harry Cook. —HARRY COOK.

CLASS PROPHECY The day that all my high school connections were severed, 1 returned home very weary. I had not been able to sleep for some time and seeing a sign “Drugs” 1 entered the store hoping to find something to help me. Upon purchasing some sleep producing drugs I went home and took a large dose. I soon became very sleepy, and lay down upon my bed. Presently I felt myself sinking into a state of unconsciousness, ( loser and closer it en¬ veloped me until all was darkness. When I finally did awaken it seemed years since 1 had last been conscious. The trees outside my window were much larger; even the furniture in my bed¬ room seemed old with age. 1 arose, determined to investigate these strange occurrences. The first person I met was Cflema Penick, an old schoolmate. Glema said that for ten years I had been sleeping, letting the world pass by. I demanded to know immediately what my classmates were doing. This is what she told me: Glema, herself, had invented an excellent new flour for dog biscuits. The Penick Flour Mills are located in Borneo. Elizabeth Ilarshman is the first speaker of the house, “Lispin’ Lizabeth” as she is better known. She is very partial to Arizona as her most recent wooer, John Zimmerman, is a representative from that state. Lyle Webb is preparing for a trip to the South Seas with a cargo of furs. “It’s shameful,” he exclaimed, “how the United States has neglected these people. Perhaps they are freezing, never having had the necessary warm clothing. ’ ’ Poor Lyle! Maybe he’ll learn. Martha Helme has written to the Matrimonial Bureau and offered a young fortune for a husband. A Duke or a Count is preferred. Henry AVillis has become a modern Demosthenes. His orations startle mil¬ lions. Perhaps his audiences wish for the stones, with which Demosthenes per¬ fected his speech, to use as ammunition. Tmogene Blackburn has become a professional vamp. She has ruined many lives among whose is George Beebe’s. George has attempted suicide three times because Imogene won’t have him, hut now he has something to live for. At dawn, he is to fight a duel with Perry Louis Gay, his most recent rival. It is to he a big event. Admission 35c. Imogene has decided to wear black as it matches her hair. Betty Graf has been recognized as one of the rising young artists. She was not appreciated in. the United States so went to Paris where she is perfecting Rosa Bonheur’s paintings. Robert Stevens has wasted away ten good years of his life. What is the matter? It appears that Opal Wright, his wife, had a black and white checked coat. Robert has not yet decided whether it is white with black checks or black with white checks. We hope he learns soon as it is ruining his health. This is the first thing he hasn’t yet figured out. Margaret Mast is Flo Ziegfeld’s latest and most popular find. She amazes her public with her excellent dancing and blonde beauty. Ruth Guilford is very jealous of Margaret as she thinks she is still more beautiful, but Flo can see nothing but Margaret’s dancing feet.
