Next, tho Senior class play Cappy Ricks was givon which was a howling success and put its members in the spotlight of fame. Then came the. famous rabbit supper at Pierson's given for the play cast, facult and remaining class members. Plenty of fried rab’it and other good eats was the amin program for the evening.

Irene White »26. CLASS PROPHECY I remember in '26 when I graduated from Argenta High School,, our motto was Be Too Big To Be Little,r For my motto of life, I changed it somewhat and used Don't Be Too Little To Be Big“. Since I was the smallest in my class, my classmates thought I was to small to be of any particular value. I determine to find my work and show them. One day when I felt full of ambition, I climbed up to Mt. Olympus where one finds immortal knowledge.’ In my search, I discovered the books of Sybil. As I was leisurely pursuing my heart's desire, I found Virginia Auten's name on page one:. I soon recognized this name and eagerly road what this immortal being could have written about her. To my amazement, I found that sho was the owner of the train tunning between Argenta and Cisco.
