BLUE AND GOLD SENIOR CLASS HISTORY It was an unusually bright and good-look- ing group of 32er’s that entered the halls of learning of th© old A. H.S. in the fall of 1928. In fact, the Sophomores grew jealous of us and ordered us to dress as bums to conceal our good looks. Not satisfied with that, they planned a drastic end for each and everyone of us. To their amazing surprise,(and to ours alsojevery- one came through the ordeal very briskly, due to some unknown propelling force from the rear. i ; f‘T Out of 36, 23 returned as Sophomores to continue in the school activities, with a few of our number showing greats promise in athlet- ics, music, and dramatics. - u 9 : Since we could not handle the wicked Soph- omores who had so cruelly mal-treated us as Freshmen, we resolved that it was our binding duty to take revenge on the meek Freshies. How- ever, we were unusually lenient, with the poor shivering things, and there were not more than two or three casualty. In the fall of 1930 we entered the beauti- ful new high school building as Juniors. Our number again decreased, and the remaining 19 were given the task (the Seniors called it a privilege) of entertaining that sedate and dig- nified body at a Junior-Senior Banquet. To raise funds for this purpose yre gave the play vfHer Step Husbandrf. It was a very good play, fcut on in the most officient manner, due jointly to Mr. Parker and the dramatic talent of our class. Only 17 of the original class became Sen- iors. It is with deep,affectionate, and tender- hearted thoughts that we bid farewell to the good old high school, and all who have helped to make it such. --( 10 ) —

BLUE AND GOLD CLASS PROPHECY Airplanes are roaring overhead. The noise of the thundering elevated is deafening. On every side are white skyscrapers. Blue and green shadows flit alternately over the gleaming fronts of the buildings. Sirens of thousand horse power cars screech like tortured things. The time is twilight; the year 1982. I think back fifty years--half a century. I wander what my old classmates of Archbold High School are do- ing. Stepping over to a black box in the corner of the room I pull a lever which produces a soft whir and a silver screen is illuminated. At first it is dim and then a haze envelopes it from which figures slowly emerge. I see the world before me shifting, ever changing. Here and there I see a familiar face. They--they are my old classmates. They seem older but I can still recognize them. Now a circus flashes before me. I see its own- er who is very conspicuous in his checkered -suit. Ah, it is my old classmate, Earl Roth. He is tell- ing the crowd of the beautiful maid who is to per- form for then. But here she comes • It is Helen Dimke respendent in the trappings of a bare-back rider. And now an announcer comes on the screen to tell me that John William Winzeler, great scient- ist with General Electric, was injured while ana - lyzing a stick of dynamite. His attorney, Ralph Short, is suing the company. General Electric's lawyer,Stanley Rupp,is determined that Ralph rihall not get a cent. Salt Lai© City rushes unto the screen and I see Levi Rupp, who has now become s. great Mormon eldor, supporting nine wives. The great Amiri can home gets its share of fame with Beverly Bacon in the ever popular role of housewife .
