Moans and groans! Tiger claws and a crystal gazer! How we all did thrill and shiver! After the work had been started, Joseph found he could not manage to take the part and resigned in favor of Ivan Berg. Much of the success of the play is due to the good work of Albert Beck, who managed the electrical effects of the performance. Thank you, A1! Erma Lowrie inherited the property of a rich aunt who died a horrible death, the mystery of which the police never solved. According to the terms of the will she had to live in the house. Mysterious happenings disturbed Erma and her Aunt Sophia until the former sent for a friend, known in the house hold as Macintosh, to help her. Her cousins, Arthur and Oswald, come to visit her on the evening that “IT” comes to get back the jewels stolen long ago by the deceased Aunt Sylvia. The plucky Mac watches and waits until lie dis- covers that one of the cousins, Arthur, is the villain of the piece and that Yarni is only after the necklace because it has for him a religious significance. Of course, all’s well that ends well, and Erma and Mac “live happily ever after.” =] 1 3311 C 3 Page 17

0=3 THE CENTENNIAL □[ ]□[ ]C=0 CLASS PROPHECY The day was still; there were no birds singing; there was not a cloud on the horizon, but the sun poured down in blistering rays upon the parched land. A cool breeze could not be found anywhere. Amidst this almost unbearable heat, out on the vast prairie, sat a cowpuncher in the shade of his horse, herd- ing a large band of cattle. They did not seem to have much more ambition than the young lad, Gordyn Crofoot, watching over them. Gordyn’s mind was in- clined to wander and as he sat there he began to recall the memories of the class of 31. His greatest desire just then would have been to hear from each one of his classmates to learn how he was faring after he got out into the business world. Where was Gladys Bilile, Joe Blazek, Sig Dyrland? Were they all as successful as his own sister? A loud noise aroused him from his revery. He gazed around; far off to the east was an airplane coming in his direction. Some power beyond his control made him get up and wave Ids arms and hat in a frantic manner. The two occupants noticed his actions and soon brought their plane to a standstill. They jumped from the plane in a manner which showed that they had performed that little trick many times in the past. Gordyn then recovered himself and with a wild cowboy whoop, leaped into the air and ran to greet his old friends, Eugene Arnold and George Robertson. He came to an abrupt stop. “Why you high-toned air fiends, don’t you even remember an old classmate?” This was enough; they recognized the voice that always had so much to say in English lYf class. Thru the sheer joy of seeing each other, the first few moments all spoke at once. At last Eugene put in enough words to state that their purpose was to learn of the whereabouts of the members of the class of ’31. This would add one more to their list, but they still had two to locate. “Well, do you know where William Larson is?” It was Gordyn’s question. “No, but that mischievous look in your eye tells us that you know,” re- plied Eugene. “Yes, you bet I do and I’ll bet he has a surprise for you. He lives down near Highwood and owns one of the largest and best managed farms in Mon- tana. I always think that it’s due to that course in Farm Management that he took from Mr. Hoskinson.” Squirty then voiced his bright idea, “Let’s jump into our plane and go down there. Come on, Gordyn !” With this they were off. In only a short time Crofoot pointed out Bill’s farm. All of his fields were simply blooming. Eugene, who was piloting the ship, made a beautiful landing near a work shop where the “man of the house” was busily employed making a little wagon. The three boys then appeared to the scene. Eugene remarked, “Well Bill, that looks rather suspicious.” Bill neglected this statement and greeted the boys and welcomed them to his home. They started toward the house where they heard a voice call, “Hurry up boys! I want to have a hand-shake with some of my old friends.” “Oh, I’ll bet this is William’s surprise.” There was Lillian King and Billy, Jr., coming out to meet them. Page 18 1 931 [3=0
