The first important business of the year was the ordering of blue and gold class rings. The Juniors then became financially minded and sold hot dogs, pop, ice cream, and football line-ups at all games in Banning and Palm Springs. The Juniors won the Girls’ League donation contest at Thanksgiving and the $2.50 prize offered by the annual staff for the greatest number of subscriptions sold by January 18th. As a parting courtesy, the Junior class entertained the Senior class members at a beautifully appointed banquet in Palm Springs. P2207

and looking down | caught a glimpse of MASON IUND who was chauffeured on the paper route by his faithful wife, formerly DOROTHY ISELIN. From here we went to a Canadian Mountie’s Post and saw RALPH TROUTT and GEORGE HALL in red coats, still trying to get their man. Next we went to a small town in Kansas where the ghost pointed out Miss DOROTHY MOORE, a hostess in the Grande Mirado Hotel. Swiftly he took me to Hollywood where many of my class had made their fame. We found BOB LONG and FAYE ROBINSON threatening to out- do Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers; EDMOND TOLL, the new stand-in for King Kong; BEN ALLEN, famous for his brilliant screen adaptation of “The Boy Scout Hand Book;’? NATHAN CHERRY and MORRIN CLEMENS, about to ruin Stoopnagle and Budd with their super special extra peachy inventions; and MAR- JORIE COOMBS, Gracie Allen’s under-study, a type quite natural to her. In Los Angeles we saw FRANK ALBRIGHT, ELEANOR MOORE and ROSE GAUTIELLO fighting it out for the world’s champion typist title. Frank was ahead with a score of 25 words a minute, all mistakes. As we flew slowly over the city, we saw Mrs. Wesley Black (VIOLA MADIGAN) and her two lovely little girls. The ghost said that usually Viola went with Wes on his journeys but this time she decided to stay behind so that she could see the new musical comedy, ‘Shout, Baby, Shout,”’ star- ring HELEN GILMAN, for which HARRY and BILL RADUZINER wrote the song hits. At the University of Southern California we found DONALD LEWIS and LEAH BELLE RIFKIN leading the yells at a game in which DONALD REYES and JIMMIE HIGBEE were stars. BUDDY HOBBS was heading for San Pedro where he had just joined the Super-Horseman Department of the U. S. Navy. Up North at Stanford University the ghost pointed out ROGER MANWARING and said that he was the official date tryer-outer, elected by the student body after satisfactory demon- strations. He was trying one of his dates out at MARY ORTEGA’S place where she shows the town what a real Mexican restaurant is like. As we came home we saw LEWIS ROBERTSON, the first (and last) Republican Congressman from Cabazon. Then we saw DRUSILLA WILSON, Poet Laureate of Cathedral City. A frosty breeze broke the thread of our flight and | saw the long, lean finger, the flashing eyes, the wildly gesticulating figure of our ancient but honorable class teacher, THELMA HARVISON. | took a nose dive into my feather bed, seized the covers and shud- dered with joy that |, ALICE WILLIAMS, had again escaped that dreadful creature.
