alumhi or rim yiabs It1■ June, the Auditorium 1« a-buzz, boys and girls of seventy odd, seated around a long table are eating food which they don't even taste ---- so en- grossed are they in their classmates of fifty years ago. (Tes, we agree with • Mr. Holoes- 01d time's a liar ). Shades of the teachers of the gay nineties'. What is that Cliff is saying to Minerva?Til Tchl Tch'. It was Dr. Adalbert Angus, Lawton, Oklahoma, of the class of 1895—the first olass to graduate from Burt High School—who promoted the idea of cele- brating the 50th anniversary of their graduation, by inviting «embers of his class and all other graduates and friends of the school to have dinner together in the Burt High School gymnasium. There were four graduates in the first class: Sylvester McChesney (deceased), Mable Feck, Oak Park, 111., Xverett McDonald, (deceased), and Mr. Angus. The two living members were present and renewed many old friendships among the one-hundred and twenty graduates present. Mr. Paul Jamison, St. Paul, Minnesota, of the class of 1896 was appointed chairman of the celebration the following year. A majority of the eight ■embers of his class were present and about one-hundred and fifty alumni again enjoyed a lovely time. Of the class of '97, Minnerva Allan-Rogers, Julesburg, Colorado, and Cliff Smith of Burt were appointed on the committee for the 1947 gathering. There were thirteen graduates that year and it is hoped that all living ■embers may be present. Class of 1947, let us congratulate the classes of 1896-96 and 97 who have so successfully renewed youghful friendships, Joys and sorrows after long separations. May we, after fifty years, regard ld Burt High with as much loyalty and devol is ov the. SpiJctj f Ae Chickct kesw hitr, Sa Caught 2 dust j J a s k fc nj fedv CUe-n W e.l ic J 9 j .

CLASS PROPHECY (con1t.) After the house lights are turned, on, we discover seated far over in the corner, our newest arrivals—Eldon Duncan and Doris Salisbury. Eldon is now employed by Jimmy Lynch and his Death Dodgers, and Doris rides along with him as an added attraction. While they are making the rounds of greetings we see Phyllis McBride entering. Phyllis owns a swank dress shop and is known as the Elegant Lillie.1 The spotlight switches to the main entrance and who should be entering but Jim Harvey with a slick chick on each arm. To the left we see Joyce Geilenfeld, now a society woman, and on the right Torchy Joan Mann, a promis- ing model. Jim is known as one of the most fascinating, millionaire play-boys of his time. While soft music is playing and everyone is recalling old times, three dignified school teachers enter. They are Renelda Johnson, Hhodora Bussie, and Phyllis Christensen. They tell us that Maxine Dlckmeyer is on her way to Alaska to be married. We wonder who the bridegroom is but no one seems to know. Last — but not least — to arrive is Margaret Officer, commonly known as Peg. She is a very prosperous business woman and now owns a large chain of Hexall Drug Stores. As everyone has arrived the greatest attraction of the evening is about to begin—the huge feast. Old times and memories are vividly recalled by everyone. Thus, we take leave of the happy reunion of the class of '47.
