THE FORECLOSU RE SALE The under classmen of the Arcadia High School have fore-closed on the Senior Class and forced them to sell out. Here is an account of the sale. The Senior class, as a whole, sold its great responsibility and excellentl example for good behavior in the school and elsewhere to the Junior class, although the Sophomores wanted it very badly. The next articles to be sold were of a personal nature. First was Helen Moser's typing ability. There were several bidding on this but Olive Nau, Lowell Moore and Harold Greer were the chief bidders. Finally everyone dropped out, including Olive and Lowell, and Harold got the extra typing ability. Carl Conine's great athletic ability is next, called out the auctioneer. You may be sure that there were several bidding on this. Among them were Roller Fox, Clayton Conine and George LaFontaine. The bids kept going higher and higher until Roller and Clayton decided that George would have this asset at all costs. He should be sure to use his new ability for the next three years. Tom Stacy and Milo Guisinger were the main bidders for the next article for sale. It was Willard Graber's height. Milo finally bought it, but the doors may have to be made larger. Emerson Huntley sold his ability to look innocent when he is guilty. Nearly everyone was bidding on this but Bernard Riter won the race. He shouldn't try to perfect this because someone else will get blamed all the time and that isn't fair. Everyone was bidding on the next article for sale but as the price became higher and higher only three remained--Paul Groth, Doris Peters and Mack Parker. Mack Parker bought Fred Gassman's ability to bluff his way through classes although he had to pay a high price for it. He won't need his glasses to study so much now. Alice Wilcox sold her independent ways. Mary Jane McCracken was the highest bidder and therefore she received the asset. Dorothy Wedge sold her numerous boy friends to the highest bidder. Nina Binger was bidding against Opal Moore but since Nina has enough already, she let Opal have them. Now I really have a wonderful value, called out the auctioneer. What do I hear for these black, snappy eyes of Wilma Snyder? Luella Evenbeck and Mary Louise Thomas were the main bidders but Luella won and acquired this asset. Maryette Parker sold her noise. Camilla Reinhart and Geraldine Bohn were the leading bidders for Maryette's cheer-leading ability. Geraldine evidently decided that she didn't need the extra noise and quit bidding so Camilla got the wonderful bargain. Eleanor Schubert, after much persuasion, sold her giggle. After much yelling and bidding Margaret Fenstermaker bought this distinguishing trait. Even the teachers bought at the sale. Mr. Runyan and Mr. Wiseley were the lead- ing bidders for Ruth Saltzman's habit of chewing gum. Mr. Runyan was the one who bought it because he has more trouble with pupils chewing gum in his classes. Bernard Dwenger and John Newman were the last ones bidding for Donald Flemion's quiet ways. John Newman finally bought them and he should use them to the satisfaction of everyone. The next article for sale was Elizabeth Pessell's ability to use high-faluting and impressive words. Opal Moore, Harold Greer and Ralph Sherman were the leading bidders for this very fine value. Ralph Sherman was the lucky fellow who got this great bargain. It is an easy way to further your education, Ralph. Next to be auctioned off was the southern accent belonging to Lucille Rose. There were several bidding on it but Lillian Lewis got the famous southern drawl.,' fContinued on Page 411

FROM A TRAVELER'S NOTEBOOK One early morning of a bright, sunshiny day in june, I started on a trip by train. going through different sections of. United States. Not having any definite place to go, I went from city to city. Leaving home, I started for New York. The train was not crowded, and it was very comfortably equipped for a long trip. After purchasing my ticket, I seated myself in a seat by an open window to enjoy the cool breeze and nature about me. Wanting something to occupy my mind I bought a paper from a lad in the nearby seat. What does this mean? In large, black letters I read the following: Noted Society Lady of Los Angeles Elopesf' Deciding that this would be an interesting item to read- My Land! Eleanor Schubert, former citizen of Ohio, has eloped. I wondered who the lucky person was. No one seemed to know. Reading through the society page, I discovered that one of my old friends had re- cently been married. The wedding was performed by Rev. Phillip Ebersole, tying the bonds between Dessie Bovee and her fiance. The bride was stunningly dressed in a gown of white satin and wore a veil of lace. Wilma Snyder, the bride's maid, was gorgeously dressed in blue georgette and carried a bouquet of delicate pink roses. Wilma was a leading business manager of a department store. Thinking that this was all' very interesting I turned to the Sports' page to see what I could find. Can this be true? William McCracken won a hard-fought boxing match over Joe Lewis. Getting tired of reading, my ear was caught by the words of a radio news broad- caster. Emerson Huntley, world's famous air pilot, has broken the speed record, but as he neared his destination his airship dived for the earth, causing a crash, but using his keen wit he managed to rescue himself. After traveling several hours I soon reached New' York City and was not sorry for it. After leaving the train I knew not where to go. In the main part of the city I saw this sign, Flemion Electric Company. Recognizing the name, I later found out that this was Donald Flemion. Maxine Snyder was his privatea secretary and stenographer, draw- ing high wages. Talking with Maxine, I learned that Alice Wilcox was a bookkeeper to some business concern of that city. That evening I went to a play and what laughter! The building was filled with hundreds of people. Gordon Gentry was playing a clownish part in this play as he did back at A. H. S. His life career was spent as a comedian. Leaving New York the next morning I started for Cleveland. There I found Dorothy Wedge, dressed in a white uniform, acting as a special nurse of the Clinic. Here in Cleveland Lucille Rose, who sincerely believes in woman's superiority over man, conducts a large dress shop in this city. Alice Knouse, her old friend, is with' her seeking to drown the sorrow of a disappointed love affair. The next morning while traveling, someone stepped before me, who said, Hello, Helen. I could hardly make my eyes believe it but it was one of the studious scholars of '3 6, Gladys Treier. She said she was teaching a group of kindergarten pupils. Entering the suburbs of Toledo, I was much amazed to see a garage, operated by Roland Schubert. This garage was to take care of sick automobiles and motorcycles. This sign was above the garage Forgive Us Our Trespassesf' A court room! Harold Cardwell is presiding Judge. The case before him is that of Mrs. Howard Matthews, formerly Miss Martha Good, suing for divorce. QContinued on page 40.1

J UNIORS Presidrlzzf, Lloyd Fisher Vice President, Wayne Gibson Secretary, Geraldine Bohn Treanlrer, Olive Nau Our upper classmen tried to scare us off the high school grounds by their bluffing initiation, but we offered them a surprise by showing them they needn't attempt it-even though we did look rather green and frightened to them. As soon as we got started we elected Lucille Fisher, President, George Monday, Vice President, Lloyd Fisher, Secretary, Ray Bare flater replaced by Ruth Mergenthalerj, Treasurer, and Miss Roller, Sponsor. Just to prove we weren't frightened away most of us enrolled in 193 4. Our class officers were: Ruth Bowman, President, Wayne Gibson, Vice President, Roller Fox, Secretary, Laura Ebersole, Treasurer, and our old friend, Miss Roller, Sponser. We soon gave the newly arriving Freshmen a dose of what we received the year before and we also failed to bluff them out. Then we quite inexperienced, dramatically presented our play, Where's Grand- ma?,' November 23. 3 We took the opportunity of having the two parties allowed us. One was held at Lucille Fisher's, the other at Luella Evenbeck's. The greater part of our number reappeared in 1935 to receive permanent seats in the study hall. Miss Roller being gone, the empty- handed Mr. Wiseley became our sponsor. He directed our class play, He Was a Gay Senorita, which was presented December 18. Our class is well represented ini both boys' and girls' glee clubs and basketball as well as in football and in several clubs.
