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.

Another startling incident that I read was the story of Glen Huston. He had gone west soon after school without was out and had worked so diligently that he had capitalized a tuain in Colorado. I know that Glenn1s plowing through the mud each winter with his Ford would reap some benefit. Still pursuing and not forgetting my aim, I continued reading. Edythe Hilbradf s still indirectly helping the Decatur Review by sharing the successes and worries of Glen Moore. I had almost recovered from these shocks but v hen reading Esther Irvine’s story, I relapsed. She is Miss Bailey’s assistant in teaching Home Ecomomics. However, I was not one bit surprised to find that Blanche Kopp was in Hollywood in the Movies. I had known that Franklin Long would be a life time teaher because he had told me so, but I didn't suppose he would reach such glories. He is principal of Maroa High School. This book also fevealed Louise Nolson's success as a X lecturer. She is a publie speaker for the Home Bureau. Included in her list of common subjects was Proper Diet for the Children , Furnishing the Home and such subjects that relate to Home making. Cyril Noecker has become farm adviser and is helping the neighbors around him but is rather neglectful of his own farm. That’s like Cyril, to look out for ethers. I searched through all the three books in the Ts for Troxell, but gave up in Qespair, when accidentally, I found the following address: Mrs. Bonnie Troxell Benton, Argenta, Illinois. Sybil realized that Elmer Tippitt was not worthless, oven if he is staring in the biggest play of the season, The Fool . Along with thisstartling incident, was mentioned Florence Whito, the best business manager that St. Loiiis had ever known. Faye Wolgo is a millinor in Docatyr, who goes abroad every spring and summor and sends postal cards to all of hor friends. Following is a discussion of thoso successes, I read the following statement: Irene White, of the First part, shall r§side in the lot in Nawburg nicinity now owned by Warren Me Carty who shall convert the present vegetable garden into a lovely flower garden and renovate the present bick building into a quaint house. Irene White of the first part, shall occupy the house accompanied by a canary and a blaclj cat.
