THE PIONEER-Nineteen Thirly-one dear wife, Autumn, takes advantage of his high salaried position by trying out some of her brilliant schemes concerning eyelash and eyebrow cosmetics. Manley's prospects in the furniture company do not seem to be so good at present due to the fact that one of the Amidon daughters has at last ventured forth from the shelter of her parent's pro- tecting wing, and now the chances are that Autumn will have a chance to show the strength of her affections by dutifully supporting Manley in his old age. At least we hope so. And how is our Prince of Wales? Well, at least we can say Theodore is King of T. N. Nelson Chain Stores which specialize in groceries, hardware, and dainty frocks for women. Not only that but he is a specialist on beauty culture, particularly in the line of wavy hair and movie actress complexion. This business has the alarming power of drawing the attention of many of the beautiful and fastidious young flappers of the street. He looks after this end of his business in a very attentive manner. Years ago he was often seen in the company of Lucy Nelson but his masculine attractions lost their vigorous appeal, for she soon gave him the glove. A broken heart pursued him for years for that was the closest he has ever come to having serious matrimonial experiences, with the exception of his notorious case with that charming little brunette, another of the Amidon daughters. This was the case that almost caused him to Hunk his senior subjects. Sure enough Paul Hawkinson has turned out to be a minister, a preacher on morals, religion and the evils of love. I heard him speak once on these subjects and what passion that fellow displayed! Not only is he a dignified pastor but also the proud possesses of the girl of his dreams, a bonnie lassie from Cassadaga, but I have a suspicion that his thoughts often wander reluctantly back to his school affection. If he continues as he has begun, he will fulfill his earthly duties and be rewarded by an eternal aven of rest. All in all it would be hard to find a group of youthful students who have risen to- ward their ambition in such a clear cut, forward way and find as much pleasure in life as they do.

THE PIONEER-Nineteen Thirty-one PROPHECY It has been thirty years since those seven youngsters ended their high school careers at that memorable Celoron High School. It was only yesterday wen I was feeling rather meditative that I decided to take a spin in my friend's little model airplane. This is in Pittsburgh where I have been living as a perennial bachelor since I left school. It wasn't long before I found myself flying over Union City, and following an urge, I headed for that little section of Jamestown which was once called Celoron. Airplanes still carry their own fuel and as luck would have it, I found my supply exhausted right between Bus- ti and my destination. As it was, I made a quick forced landing, swooping down right into a farm yard of chickens which had innocently been devouring their daily sour milk. Amid the flying feathers, terrified chicks and howling hounds I clambered out to be confronted by an enormous ferocious looking farmer before whom I quietly wilted. just as he was about to grasp me by the collar, his sweet wife stepped out and reproved him with a quiet, Now, john. It was no other than Florence johnson, my old school mate. She easily held him back while I offered my apology and explained the situation. It ending up by my promising him a ride in my plane after supper. This made him very excited and showed what a lovable fellow he really was. What a supper we had! There was everything imaginable from heaps of chicken fricasee to sparkling old fashioned hard cider and pumpkin pie. just as I was loosening my belt to enjoy the last morsel of my third helping of pie, the tranquility of the scene was rudely broken by the noisy wheezes of an ancient roadster coughing violently as it ascended the driveway. That must be Marian, remarked Florence, and she was right, for presently in stamped the blustering Miss Quist, raving about the way Harold Marsh conducts his flourishing banking busi- iness. fYou see, she is Harold's head secretaryj. At first she didn't recognize me, but after the heat of her exertions had subsided she took time to notice who I was and be- came very fluent in her exclamations of pleasure and surprise. As usual she was raking everyone over the coals, discussing their affairs pro and con and so it was that I learned the past fate of my former school mates. Imagine Bill Adams with a gigantic hooked nose, long curly white hair and an enor- mous wad in one cheek as he putters around in his laboratory. You see, he made his for- tune long ago in politics and hazardous business ventures. Most people are rather afraid of him now because he knows so much. He lives with little Myra whom he has con- siderably subdued. Their home is Alling's old place which has the whole back part con- verted into an experimental factory. Right now they say he is working on perpetual mo- tion, mind reading and the materialistic qualities of ghosts. Between his work and his quarrels with his wife concerning her lack of economy, he has only a short time to sleep and eat. Now and then he relates to one of his nine children how he and Mr. Schrader used to keep the old school in hand. This of course appeals to the imagination of his family who are just as wild and unruly or even worse than he was in his silly moments. Manley Lown finally discovered the alluring charms of Miss Autumn Boardman and she succumbed with due dignity to his ardent love making, by agreeing to undertake together the trials of a married life. Success dogged the heels of the ambitious Manley and he now holds a commanding position in the Amidon Furniture Company while his U71

THE PIONEER-Nineteen Thirty-one CLASS WILL Ladies and Gentlemen: It is with great pleasure that I appear before you tonight, as attorney for the class of 1931 for the purpose of presenting their Last VVill and Testament. The said Senior Class of 1931, realize that they are in possession of articles of price- less value, that if left to the class of 1932 would cause a great deal of consternation, it would be quite impossible to secure them individually, therefore we declare and publish this, our Last Will and Testament. We, the Class of 1931, having completed our scholastic year, though somewhat fatigued by incessant mental toil, but still of sound mind and understanding, do establish this our Last Will and Testament, hereby revoking and making void all former wills and testaments heretofore made by this class. As to our worldly estate, in case of our death in any manner, all property, real, per- sonal or otherwise which shall be in our possession at the said time shall be bequeathed and disposed of in the following manner: To our highly respected faculty and school board who have enabled us to acquire the knowledge of the ages, we bequeath a sweet succession of peaceful nights a11d dreamless sleeps. No longer need they ponder over our questions and lie awake nights meditating upon our possibilities in Regents. No longer need they be worrying whether their dear wards are pouring over their lessons of geometry, reading the fascinating pages of English literature, or tripping the light fantastic to the frightful strains of Modern jazz. Also in sincere recognition of their watchful care and imparted knowledge, we be- queath to our teachers the boundless knowledge and information that we have furnished them at various times in our examination papers. We realize that most of this informa- tion was entirely new to them and to most of mankind. To further show our appreciation of the help and knowledge bestowed upon us we leave to the faculty the following: To Mr. Henry G. Schrader, our benevolent principal and traffic officer we bestow a new pair of rubber tired roller skates that he may find it less tiresome to transport his bulky frame from one building to another as often as he finds necessary. To Mrs. Hatch we leave kind memories of past English and Latin classes. Many times we have felt grateful for some word of advice that she has given us in a moment of weak- ness or misdemeanor. To Mr. Brown we bestow the sweet memories of our Senior Girls. To Miss Wendy Darling Lutzholif we have the pleasure of leaving a pair of high top shoes and extentions for her dresses that she may look as old as her home-room pupils. To Miss Maude Warner we leave all the eighth period Freshmen that may come for the next five years. We are sure that with her .extremly efficient knowledge of psychology and sociology, she will be able to manage them far beyond the skill of most teachers. To Miss M. Francis Pratt we leave a printed certificate of reservation for a strong, healthy horse in the next circus. She will have the use of this horse throughout the day and evening. We are sure that this will quench her ever thirsty desire to leave these beautiful eastern states in preference to the more romantic scenery of the Great West. To Miss Swart we leave all the warts, pimples, sore fingers and what have you, that may be collected at the end of. the year. Also an abundant supply of germs and. bacteria is sure to .aid her in any surgical experiments that she may be making during her sum- mer vacation. To the Juniors as a class we bequeath the dignity of the Seniors and ask that it may be upheld with all seriousness and gravity in spite of their light mindedness and irre- sponsibnlty. Also we leave our beloved study hall. If, inadvertently, we leave erasers, pencils, wads of gum, milky-ways or other equipment, we give it to whoever can get it in the mad scramble of the vociferous under-classmen. We leave the following to Juniors individually: To Clar-e Chamberlain we leave that hidden emotion for young high school teachers found only ln Paul Hawkinson. This might help along the situation between him and his dear friend. To Leo C. Olson we leave all the rest of the high school girls that he may not feel lonesome while enduring the bore of another year of high school. To Floyd West we leave that slender figure that will be seen no more in the halls of Celoron. .To Era Scofield we bequeath all those courtesies that Autumn Boardman has been trymg so hard to live up to as an upper-classman.
