clajx msTCcy IX THE YEAR of our Lord 1934, 65 small, timid soldiers came working their way through the Autumn leaves to the Castle of Higher Educa- tion. Had they known what was before them, they would have pro- bably turned back, but they were brave soldiers and under the guidance of their Good Commander, Miss Garl, they were eager to undertake the task of becoming conquerors of at least part of the Castle of Higher Education. In the first year of attack, there was much turmoil and some wrere forced to surrender to the enemy, Leisure Time. Finding it impossible to overcome the enemy, they w'ere forced out of the Castle. Once during the first year a light of cheerfulness wTas cast upon the soldiers by the Halloween party that was given. At the end of the battle, however, many were able to grasp the jeweled treasures of English, Latin, Math and Science. They then decided to lay their armor of books, pencils, and tablets aside for the summer, feeling that they had had a success- ful battle. In the fall of ’31, the soldiers of Education again resumed their battle against the Castle of Higher Education. This time they chose the stern Commandership of Captain J. Ferguson as their leader. Although there w-ere only 55 old members left, 2 recruits joined the ranks. The second year was not quite so difficult a battle because the soldiers were just a little more confident and just a little more rugged and capable. Some who had been wounded in the first year of attack were unable to continue the wdiole year because of the temptations of the World. At the end of the second year of attack many joined in the pleasure of grasping new mental riches. In the third year the soldiers w'ere very eager to plunge into the fight for they had had a taste of the treasures for wdiieh they were seeking. Because of the removal of the former Captain from the ranks, the soldiers again chose Miss Garl as Commander. This year was filled with much pleasure as the good helper, Social Life, made many chances for the soldiers to forget their troubles in the battle for Higher Educa- tion. The rugged Juniors, through their unfailing strength in mind and spirit, were able to gain a bonus for a contest wdiieh w'as held by an outside firm. The Banquet for the “higher” soldiers was held at the end of the year to rejoice over the vast spoils that had been gained during the victorious year. The last year of attack w7as one of great excitement under the leadership of Miss Garl. A play w'as given to show how7 much had been accomplished by the gallant soldiers. Later, the year was filled with many interesting events including the publishing of an annual, to tell the outside world of the success of the gallant soldiers against the Castle of Higher Education. At last the victory was w'on and the Castle fell entirely into the hands of the deserving soldiers. What excitement! What vast gains the soldiers had made during the four years! 45 soldiers wrere crowned with diplomas for their wonderful w'ork in cap- turing the Castle of Higher Education.—Lloyd Blaker. Page Eight

cla pccpuccy IT IS THE FUTURE and the author, by means of television, is watching dif- ferent people in various parts of the world. Suddenly the scanning disk stopped and she saw a scene in a courtroom, which is constructed five hundred feet above the earth and held in place by two autogiros. The case in session is against Lloyd Blaker, the famous horticulturist, accused of developing a flower of such beauty that words cannot be found to describe it. The plaintiff is War- ren Snyder, the noted lexicographer. Mr. Richard F. Long, the well-known cor- poration lawyer, is representing the Snyder Dictionary Company. Growing tired of the scene, the author turned the scanning disk one degree and sees the two aviators in the autogiros—they are Lewis Ault and Dale Fisher. Suddenly Lewis, forgetting his occupation, started to have a race with a cloud. The courtroom crashed to earth. Ding-a-ling, and up rushed Noel Myers driving the ambulance, with DeEtta iodine, the attendant nurse. The slightly injured victims are taken to the Riser Hospital—let us take a look into the rooms. In the kitchen, Orpha Silberg, the chief dietician, is telling Jessta Bone- cutter, the office girl, how she recently lost two whole pounds. On the second floor, Nora Johnson, the first airplane hospital nurse, is instructing Ruth Alwood, an applicant for a position. Glancing through the door of the Nurses’ Beauty Salon, Madame Wilma Fuller is seen. Being interested in Education, I looked into the Getts Model School where a spirited conversation is taking place among the teachers of the lower grades. The teachers happen to be as follows: Ruth Varner, first grade; Ruth Reasoner, second grade, and Lorene Provines, the fourth grade. Ethel Brunson, the music teacher, is holding up her portion of the conversation. The topic is the resigna- tion of the third grade teacher, Emily Alwood, who had to care for a sick—Miller. For a little diversion the theater is chosen, and at a glance at the leading theater in New York, one cannot help but notice the huge sign in front, which was created by Thomas R. Preston. Once inside, the audience are sitting in “Lovely” seats. The first performance is by the New York Symphony Orchestra. The solo clarinetist is Ercel Tyson, and Doris Holman, famed opera star, is the guest artist. After the orchestra's portion on the program, a signal is given by John Hatfield, the electrician and the spotlights point to Francis Klinkel, the acrobatic dancer and gymnastic teacher. The scene changes and on the stage is seen Ralph and his Rosenberries, who are featuring Bessie Oberlin, gifted drummer, Lucile Deck the harpist and Helen Moughler the saxophonist. After the program, the scanning disk is changed so that a view on board a transatlantic liner is shown. The scene is the Captain’s dinner. Those present, are: The Captain, William Gather; Marjorie Price, the portrait artist, who is going to Paris; Reign Ulm, the chemist, who is going to Europe to present his recently expounded theory before a world wide convention of scientists. Farther down the Captain’s table are Martha Bevington, musical comedy star, who is touring the world, and the former Gertrude Varner, now wife of a wealthy fruit grower. At another table is A. Herman Spangler, who is going to Paris to display his exquisite furs. Beside him is Robert D. Iligley, renowned C. P. A. As the ship moves eastward the scanning disk is adjusted back to the United States, to the World’s Fair. In the Agricultural exhibit, are William Platt and Howard Buttermore, leading farmers in the North Central States. In the livestock division, is Marion Porter, the outstanding shepherd. In the Home Economics Department, the former Phyllis Moore, Joyce Mark, and Reba Snyder are conversing. Phyllis is President of the National Union of Farmer’s Wives. Joyce is national champion jelly maker and Reba is the wife of a dill pickle manufacturer. In the Animal Building is Anna Spake’s exhibit of stray cats and dogs. As the author meditates over the things she has seen, it occurs to her that through television, in one day, she has been able to see all of the class of ’35. But someone is missing. Why—Mary Jane Maggert, who is now Mrs. and the Executive Officer of the National Federation of Certified Housewives. —Prue Adelle Hallett. Page Ten
