1 IB ifnto The Class now left Caesar and Geometry behind and took up other studies. The class consisted of only fourteen members. A great number had deserted us, a few decided to discontinue their education, and some, being too ambitious to remain with the class long, joined the class above. This class also had a few to join it. They were: Ardella Geppner, Pauline Mcllcn and Francis Noel. 11A This year the classes were brought together and organized as one class with Irene Hay as President. 12B In January came the biggest and most important year in the history of the class. The two classes were still combined. One of the biggest events was the Junior-Senior Banquet and Prom, with which we entertained the Seniors. When this last term opened the class was very small. The following members had either gone ahead or dropped back: Carl Gentry, Alfred Hetzel, Katherine Bat- teigcr, Irene Hay, Genevieve Pursley and Edith Rogers. Two members, Thelma Eble and Mildred Greer were added. The class was represented in athletics by Frank Davis, Andrew Eble and Arbie Bolin in football, and Wilford Hoggatt and Paul Garrison in basketball. The six who graduated in this class were Arbie Bolin, Frank Davis, Thelma Eble, Mildred Greer, Wilford Hoggatt and James Kiper. Page Twenty-seven

CLASS PROPHECY He was a stem, stoical looking old man, with a long, straight and hoary beard. Just to look at him fairly made me shudder. 1 debated for a long time with my inner- self, trying to decide whether I should venture to speak to him or not. At last, reaching an affirmative conclusion, I spoke. Oh, Father Time, I have come, humble and suppliant for your assistance. I have come to ask a share of the knowledge of Your Highness' omniscient mind. Tell me. Oh Father, what you have in store for the class of ‘25. I beg of Your Majesty not to refuse my little request. No, child, I refuse not such a coveted petition. His eyes grew expressionless and for a moment he did not speak I suspected that he was peering into the future. Finally the sound of his voice came—at first very faint but gradually becoming louder. Tis a dark and gloomy year; 'tis nineteen hundred thirty-five. Although the year appeareth dark, the brilliant class of '25 emergeth successful Mr. and Mrs. John Maier live happily in New York City. Mr. Maier hath dwelled there since his marriage to Miss Mary Bateman. He hath made a fortune there in his five and ten cent store where he has specialized in rubber dolls. “Immediately after he received his degree from college, Elmo did journey to Niagara Falls and the sight there enthralled him strangely. He is now a millionaire having accumulated his wealth by his wonderful plan of harnessing the power at the Falls. He plcaseth himself with bachelor life and was once heard to remark, ‘I’ve finished sowing my wild oats.' Welby too, remaineth unmarried, but he doth travel extensively in giving his famous baritone solos. His songs are desired at all sorts of entertainments. Miss Martha Roetzel, an old schoolmate of his, playeth his accompaniments. Bessie Helmbock and Helen Blackwell are the organizers of the Boonvillc Big Sisters' Club, which only young ladies with younger sisters may join. These girls endeavor to strengthen the ties between sisters. Each year they shall banquet the younger sisters. Dana's life hath been a calm and unruffled existence since her graduation from B. H. S. She did go off to college but hath returned to teach French in the new high school building at Boonville. “Edith Short is now dean of women in Chandler College, where she is known as Mrs. Racing. She married Mr. Racing while she was in college but he did die a few months later. Page Twenty-eight
