OUR CLASS PATRON The Maid of Orleans At the beginning of our Senior year, the most cherished and most mo- mentous of all our high-school career, we the Senior girls, chose as our class pa- tron, the great warrior maiden of France, now venerated on our altars, as the dear St. Joan of Arc. All students of history are acquainted with the outstanding facts of the life of this wonderfud maid of but seventeen summers, the poor unlettered child of peasant parentsg of how she was commissioned by high Heaven itself to lay aside the garb of maidenhood and don the inaled attire of a warrior youthg of how she amidst incredible difficulties raised the siege of Orleans, led her small army vic- toriously on against overwhelming odds, and achieved the great event of her life, the coronation of her King: of how she, the savior of her country, earned for all her labors, but the mean pittance of this world's gratitude. for she fell a victim to the jealousy of those who owed all to her, and she died according to the annals of history, the fiery death of a sorcerer, but in the words of Heaven, the death of a martyr and a Saint of God. Though we are fully aware of the fact that none of us will be entrusted with so high and glorious a mission, as was given to our Class Patron, neverthe- less we know that to each of us Heaven has assigned a great work which can and may be done by none other. And no matter what our mission, be it that of consecrated virgin behind convent walls laboring for the souls of little ones, be it that of devoted wife and fond self-sacrificing mother, or be it the life of just a. good woman in the world, forgetful of self, devoted to others, no matter what 'twill be, we will need the high courage, the strong heart, the unflinching spirit of the glorious Maid of Orleans. And that is why we chose her as our special patron, that the memory of school-days spent beneath her gentle patronage, may spur us on in hours of trouble to look to Heaven for our protection and help.' FAREWELL TO C. C. H. Dreams of happy times, so fleeting, Mem'ry fain would linger long, 'Mid the surge of life's great meeting Come the strains of olden song, Far behind us, lies the pathway That together we have crossed And before,-the longed-for byways Still in future's mists are lost. 'Tis together we have cherished C. C. H.-Her honored rule, 'Tis alone, in future seasons We will claim, fore'er our school. And the meaning of her teachings VVe will to the world relate. Bearing on our dear school's message, Goes the Class of '28. -HELEN CAPVVELL '28. THIRTY-ONE

and then went into politics. He met with huge success and is today one of the most conscientious office-holders in VVashington, D. C. At last, here is Joe, old Joe Heitz, the farmer. That's just what he became, but what a farmer! That Convention we staged at the C. C. H. during which l worked so hard for Lowden, must have given him the idea. I wonder, did he vote for me then. I believe he is one of the wealthiest farmers in this section of the country. He owns several large ranches out in Kansas and smaller farms all over the Central States. He is well-known as a philanthropist and he has given large sums toward orphan asylums. He is a renowned charity-worker. Every one of our class. it seems, became a wonderful success. For an- other instance look at this picture. Those sharp eyes, that keen face denote a mathematical genius. They belong to Adclbert Solheid. He took up engineering after High School and is known as one of the best engineers in the South. For a while he worked for the government, but later he resigned his governmental work and many large dams, railroads, buildings, and the like, bear his name. Well, don't tire now, we're nearly finished. Here is one I've saved till last, because it's a big surprize. You are now looking at a likeness of Louis Zumbroegel when he was a baby. See the twinkle in his eye! That little twinkle means very much. In this case it meant that Louis was to be a comedian and that is what he is. Playing in Pathe pictures at present, Louis is one of the best known funny-men in the pictures of today. This is the last one. It seems so different from all the rest. But I al- ways imagined I was so much different from everybody else. I was rather cute then, wasn't I? Funny how one changes. One would think, from that picture that I would some day amount to something, but looks are sometimes deceptive. Oh well, at least I was successful in prophesying what would become of my class- mates. I believe that our class can be called one of the most celebrated in history, .and I hope when the Great Taskmaster calls the role on the final Commence- ment Day, we can answer our present with firm assurance, conscious of the fact that while in life we patterned our conduct on only the great, the good, the noble, and the virtuous, we left behind us after our death, Footprints on the sands of time, 'fFootprints that perhaps another Sailing o'er life's solemn main, A forlorn and shipwrecked brother, Seeing, did take heart again. -BERNARD KRIEGER, '28, F THIRTY
