HISTORY Two tottering old ladies were strolling in a park of a great metropolis in the Midwest. They came from different directions, stopping before a large monument. They stood peering up at it with dim eyes. It was a monument to an old school that had once stoud on this very spot. Tired by their long walk they each sat down upon a park bench. Courteously they stole glances at each other guessing how much older the other looked. Finally their eyes met and greatly to their astonishment they recognized each other, for they had once game to school together in this very place many y ars ago when Ashley was but a tiny village. And soon Jola Jean and Barbara were reflecting upon days long gone by. “Barbara, do you remember that hot day in September when 28 of us green freshmen started our upward climb? reflected Jola Jean. ““My goodness, I certainly do. That nice Kenneth Miller was elected president. I bet that was the first time the school ever had a red headed president. His hair was just fiery red. I saw him two years ago and he was a very bald successful dector. As I remember, Janet Wilhelm was vice-president, you were secretary and treasurer, and Beverly was reporter, Barbara said. ““Didn’t we choose Miss Cook to be our sponsor? I always thoug ht she was the best music teacher ever had. As I] recollect. wasn’t that the year when it was our misfortune te have Bob Bacon descend upon us from Central at Fort Wayne?’ asked Jola Jean, ““It was the follewing year that we elected him president. He was a good one, toc. Adele Lynch was secretary and treasurer, Beverly was again reporter, and who was vice-president? Let’s see. What was her name? She had blonde hair. Oh, I should be able to remember her name. Was it Beverly?- No, she wore glasses. Oh, yes, it was Mildred. And what was her last name? Hay---Hay--- Hay=--Hanes. That's it! ’ It was in the sophomore year that Bob Wolf, Herbert Miller, and Paul Stoy decided that they had enough book ‘Yarmia' and left school. “TI wonder what ever become of Betty Jo Moore and Joan Robbins when they moved away. Betty Jo moved to Pleasant Lake, but I lost track of her after that. It was that year also that Clellie Smart moved to Fremont, “ That was really a big year, for we won the sectional tournament. Gee, that was really something. Remember we had a snake dance the following Monday? I don't think I shall ever forget it.
