The members of our class have responded to their parts in the social events and literary societies for the past two years in a very satisfactory manner. A number of our boys have done a few things in athletics that should be mentioned. Loren as to all indications is going to make good as a high jumper. George has fulfilled his office as treasurer of the Athletic Association in a most pleasing manner. Fred has not only filled his place as captain of the football team but has been one of the best men in the tenm. Lawrence Paul. Roy ami Robert have also made good in their places Although our class has not won great distinction and honor in athletics, our boys and girls arc showing great skill along that line, as well as in domestic science and manual training We have done nothing as Sophomores uml Freshmen that w« regret. As the saying, The cat lies still awaiting her chance to catch the mouse. so we are lying quiet till our Junior and Senior years: when to the surprise of all. we will show what we can do.

E3QE3QE3E3E3GE3E3E3E3E3E3E30GC3E-3E30C3E 3E31 Prophecy of the Junior Class WELL of all the pleasant surprises! Are you quite sure lone that this is you? There dearie, let Maude help you with your coat. Why. of course it's Maude Van Vleet. She is my maid and traveling companion. I just couldn't get along without her. You know, I always did like her. But goodness, where have you been and how did you ever happen to come here? 1 just met Miss Sutton or that is she was formerly Miss Sutton1 on board the-----------from Australia. And she told you about my living here and you thought you would surprise me? Just like you, you never were happy unless you were doing something unexpected. And you say you are the wife of the American Consul at Melbourne. Australia? And are going back to Washington? Well of course. I saw that in yesterday's paper, but I didn't realize that it was you. And so Miss, oh well. Miss Sutton told you that Virgil 'Penn1 had just finished a History of the Chinese People from the Beginning of Time and that he has been working faithfully over in Peking for nearly six years now. Why. I didn't even know where he was. But speaking of distances. I just received a letter from Mary Louise yesterday She is down in Panama in charge of a wonderful Red Cross department. She said thill she and her husband, who is the governor of Panama, are going to Washington the first of next week. Maybe you will see her. What! did you say Wayne Welker is in Australia? Yes. he is a famous Trigonometry instructor in the University of Queenlnnd and next yenr he is going to India to take n position in King George's college Say! he will be at Oxford next. Why that almost gets ahead of Harry Brunson I just took my daughter. Elizabeth, to Poughkeepsie last month and placed her in Vassar. On the way we stopped in Chicago and visited the U of C. and if Harry isn’t the president of the University. By the way, Lora Litchenwalter is at the head of the Elocutionnl department in Vassar. You remember her don’t you? Helen Short is the instructor in French. Elizabeth is in one of her classes.

But yet if you looked closely, a trace of awe might lx found on our countenance . We were entering upon the threshold of our four years of high school life.
