THE BEURO Class Prophecu One day as I was piloting my airplane over Southern England a furious storm arose and I was forced to land near an ancient castle. As the storm grew worse I decided to stay in the castle over night. As' night drew near I became 'sleepy and not long after was asleep. While sleeping I had a wonderful' dream. A beautiful woman came before men and she seemed to walk on air. My eyes blinked at the daz- zling jewels she wore. Finally she said, Come with me and you shall see your dear classmates who went to school with you at B. T. H. S. She said a few words and we both went floating. through the air. We crossed the ocean and soon were in New York City. In New York City I saw a. man bend- ing over a book and in deep study. His faced seemed familiar to me. Soon I recog- nized him as Gail. He was a great lawyer and had won many a case which seemed hopeless. After graduating from High School he had gone to college and studied law. He was admitted to the bar soon to become one of the greatest' lawyers known. After seeing Gail the woman and I went through the air a long, long ways. Finally we came to .a beautiful ranch in Arizona. On this ranch were approximately twenty-five thousand cattle. Someone was riding through the herd and I discovered it to be 'Evelyn. She had grown tired of everyday life! and wanted thrills so she had gone west. As we sailed onward we nearly bumped into ian airplane carrying imail. The pilot was a very short thin man and instantly I recognized him to be Leslie. He had gone through many a storm and saved the mail. For this he received a gold medal from President Hoover. After chatting with Leslie the woman informed me that we must move on which we did with great speed. We arrived in Chicago. We went to Marshall Field Kr Company and there I saw Martha hitting the keys of a typewriter to a tune of ninety words a minute. She was a private secretary and a reliable one. She had learned stenography at Brown's Business College. From Marshall Fields we went to a studio and to my surprise I saw Ara Bloyd painting pictures of people. The picture seemed real. Ara had by this time become known all over the world for 'her work. After inspecting Ara's work the woman and I went on our way until we were at a beautiful place in California. There was a snug bungalow surrounded with trees. In this bungalow I saw Dorothy. She had just been married and was leading a happy life. Dorothy told me that Ruth was also 'leading a successful life. She was the 'wife of an ambassador to Ireland. We chatted together for awhile until my woman companion said, We must hurry. The time is getting short. Soon we were on our way. This time we traveled 'like mad. At last we reached the heart of Africa. Negroes were roaming the forests. I gazed all around and to the south of me I saw a school house. As I started towards it I saw a woman coming out of the door and to my amazement I discovered her to be Ethel. We talked toget-he-r and I learned that Ethel had learned to be a missionary and was sent to Africa to teach the natives civilization. Before we could say all we wanted too, the woman said a magic word and I was soon back in the castle. The ding dong of a nearby clock awoke me with a jump. I rubbed my eyes and wondered about my high school classmates. --Orville Eckberg. Page Twenty-six

THE BEURO Class Historq of 1929 We, the Class of '29 have completed our High School career. ln' the fall of l925 we entered High School with twenty members in our class. We chose Miss Johnson as our advisor, and have had the privelege of hav- ing her during our four years. During our first year we had a minstrel show and a fish pond during the fair. ln the Spring we gave a weiner roast for the school in Dremannis woods. We had one member on the football team. When we entered the second year we had lost three of our members. This year we sold candy and pop-corn at the fair and were quite successful financially. We gave a Halloween party for the school. As Sophomores we acted as ushers at all school functions. When we entered our third year we had only eleven members, and when the year was over only nine. This year we sold pop and ice cream at the fair. Orville made a big showing on the football team and he and Gail were on the basket-ball team. We gave our Junior play, Cyclone Sally . Our Englishman and the ncabbagesn will be long remembered. On May thirty-first we gave a banquet for the Seniors at the Starved Rock Hotel. We have completed our last year. Orville has been our class presi- dent all four years, and he has made a good one, otherwise we wouldn't have chosen him so many times. Gail and rville have been mainstays on our basketball team. At the Bureau Towns ' Fair we took charge of the cafeteria. We have sold pop-corn and candy 'throughout the year and sponsored a Carnival to help earn money to finance our annual. Most of the members in our class have been in the Operetta every year: this year about five of our class had leading parts in jerry of Jericho . We gave the last display of our talent in our Senior class play. ' We are now ready to take our place in the world and will try to fill that place to the best of our ability.
