Class History An then the two hundred whining Freshies with their shining morning faces tgirls hadn't learned to wear make-upJ still in knee pants and gingham frocks, with hair ribbons to match, afraid to move lest every move prove disastrous, stumbled up the steps of dear old B. H. S. Feelin our significance and with utter disrevard for the things about us, we g D a n D I Q D n dragged through that horrible year, adoring teachers and wishing we were Seniors. Embarrassment got the better of some of our tribe that year. Now, when we came back for the second degree, we might be able to locate the library, roll rooms, and sometimes the oliice. We joined clubs, took in all the audi- toriums and began to really live, although unmolested as yet by our fellowmen. Some of the old gang pushed out into the' limelight. Miller, Beretta, Goodin, and Smith had already broken into varsity basketball. The wrestling team had the services of Downey, Craig, and Wilson. Goodin, Garriot, Beretta, and Turpin were Trackmen. Boys werenit all either. Gilda Liva, Ruth Davis, Alice Downey, Ruth Roberts, and others found ofhcial places, in their clubs, that could be lilled by mere Sophomores. Juniors! Lots of romance, color, and as usual, the general uproar. It was during the Lomax administration, that we really met those Seniors when we entertained them at the reception with our 'gcompanyw etiquette. A Hcareereri' who started his careering was none other than Clarence Wallner, who became class president. His co-workers were William Kingman, Alice Downey, and Martha McCann. Anna Fae Lewis was outstanding in scholarship. A journalist and winner of an Old English B was Iris Fish. The Girls Council and Boy Sponsors claimed Alice Downey, Ruth Scherschel, Jewel Johnson, Loris Beretta, Gerald Norcross, and Dale Miller. Emanuel Niflis won the penmanship contest. George Sears, Esther Mae Bivens, Lillian Smith, and Wayne Bruce found perlnanent places in musical organizations. And now we are Seniors! After we had experienced the first thrills, we have tried to make this year our most prohtable one. To Captain the ship, we chose Willialii Kingman with Alice Downey, Ruth Roberts, and Clarence Wallner as able assistants. Although small in number, members of the class have contributed much to make it one of the best. The Stone-cutters with Dale Miller as captain, have Beretta, Goodin, Smith, and Wever, that renowned player who joined us only this year. uHeldmen77 claim Downey, Gaines, Wilsoli, and Craig. Gilda Liva and Ruth Davis are associated with the Girl Reserve organization. Jewel Johnson and Martha McCann are both on the official staff of the Commerce Club. The International Club claims Grace Scher- schel and Mary McCartney. Gerald Norcross, editor of the Pioneer has James Quinn, Harold Easton, Ruth Scherschel, Jerrol Reed, Louise Duncan, Eileen Harper, Inez Slate, Mary Katherine Craig, ldas Bluff, and Emanuel Nifiis, members of the class, on his staff. Student drew Wayne Bruce, Kenneth Byers, Clyde Hodges, George Sears, Clarence Wallner, Alvin Downey, Alice Downey, Nlarion Owens, and Louise Duncan from the halls. Those attaining the honor roll regularly were John Graham, Gilda Liva, Anna Fae Lewis, Emanuel NiHis, Dale Miller, Esther Bluff, William Cezar, Louise Duncan, Mary Rodler, Ollie Wilson, Lillian Smith, 'Jerrol Reed, Ruth Scher- schel, and Clyde Guthrie. New members from other schools were Carl 'Kasch, a prominent scholar from Kansas City, Mildred McConnell, Seymour, Paul LaHue, a basket and football man from Jasonvilleg Mary Voigtschild, Milwaukee, lrene Root. Arizona, and the Shawswick trio, Wever, Owens, and Ellison. Besides all this, the whole class co-operated with Miss Mitchusson in a fruit cake and holly sale from Thanksgiving throughout the Christmas holidays. The usual Senior stir-off at the Gillum farm, and other enjoyable outings were high points of fun-making. And then on to Class Day, and Commencement. l19l

The Oracle Speaks Strolling down the byways of life, one may see or chance to meet an aged person, stooped and bent, hohbling about on a hickory cane or seated upon some nearby curb- stone. Upon inquiring into the matter, we find that she is a kind old woman gifted with the power of prophecy or of foretelling events of the future. One sees her now addressing a congregation of over a hundred wearers of the red and white. A cracked and very faint voice is heard, and lol One may listen and hear what the human oracle foretells to be the future of this industrious, fun-loving group of students. All is silent. And then the oracle speaks. For you, Billy Kingman, l prophecy a great future. You will have your choice of two great positions, the Presidency of the United States, or that of a traveling salesman. For Ruth Roberts, l foretell a future as a radio crooner, known as the ggWater Babyw, with the theme song, River Stay Away From lVly Doorw. Smith and Smith, lncorporated, owned and operated by brother and sister, the only firm known to the world that writes excuses for hooky students, will prosper and carry on with their good work. Alvin and Alice Downey will go into seclusion after their high school days and become known as the Two Authorsw. Marshall Abel will be known as the aAviator Artistw. lrene Root will achieve the honor of being President Kingmanls head secretary. Eddie Turpin and Doyle Simmons will be heard every week day night over station S W E E P.

Zulene Callahan will teach ladies how to retain that school girl complexion. Floyd Wever and Harold Smith will be successful farmers on a large scale. Ruth Scherschel, Grace Scherschel, Agnes Scherschel, and Edward Scherschel will write text books for high school students. Stanley Hughes, Dick Baker, Butch Green, and Carl Howell will own and operate a toy shop. Toys sold to high school students in particular. C. K. Chesterton will have nothing on Clarence Wlallner.
