int 1'! t ,lHlll Ines Solt had invented a chewing gum, the flavor was eternal and could he chewed without moving the jaw. Ines told me that Bernice Reeves and Catherine, noted for their culinary skill, had made a doughnut without a hole and a pretzel without a twist. In the evening I looked at the Herald-Examiner and saw to my surprise that Hazel Henthorn was conducting a column for the love-Iorn, and the worthy editor was now Frances Widman. I read that Florence Holtz had just painted a portrait of Harry Mattson, our President. I bought a new plane in New York, not trusting the old one. Here I met Glen Almquist, who poured all his troubles in my sympathetic ear.. He was getting a divorce from Velma DeBrunner charging that she brutally killed his pet mouse, ltOswald? before his very eyes. I then started for Spain. I landed in Spain ahd whom should I see but John Blue, once a noted Toreador, run- ning from a playful calf. I jumped out of the little old cradle and strolled up the avenue. I heard a burst of music. It had its charms so I entered. There was Fern King playing the Baldwin while Dwain Kidwiler was warbling iIKeep Your Sunny Side Up, over the mike over station F-E-R-N. I continued my-wanderings and as evening was drawing nigh I saw Ray King, who, in our school days, was shy of the fair sex, now boldly serenading the demure senoritas. Ray told me his secret to pop- ularity. he recommended Bernice Leafs correspondence course on iiHow to Become Popular? ' I journeyed to Africa. There in the jungle was Earl Widman singing lullabies to the boa constrictors to soothltheir leg aches. Further in the jungle I found Lucile Thomas and Adeline Hruza, big game hunters. They proudly displayed a white rab- bitt I was astounded at their bravery. The rabbit measured exactly five inches. We were informed by the game hunters that Elaine Erickson and Gertrude Harrold were teaching the Pygmies Latin and French. I was so overcome with the heat in Africa that I decided to fly to Sweden. Here I found Betty Lueas Hesselgesser and her husband, Laurence, happy at their little dairy: Both had become very efficient in punching holes in limberger cheese. I journeyed back to Hollywood. Here I found Louise Schneiderheinz, not a' movie star as you would think, but living on Squalid alley. Louise had broken the 7 worldls record for bundle washing. She washed ten bundles a day, and ilbelieve me, they were big? said Louise proudly. She told me that Marjorie Mohr was famous in the talkies. She is known as the farm-yard yodler as she imitates cows, chickens, anything you ask. I stopped at a farmhouse for oil and who should be there but Babe Wilson de- monstrating non-skid banana peels to Alice Johnson, who had married Leland Plank. . Alice and Leland were very happy on their flea farm. As I journeyed homeward I found Rachel Woods in :Chapman, knitting sweat- ers for the natives of Africa. She told me that Roberta Campbell was playing the piccolo in the Chapman orchestra. I reached home safely without further adventure. ?3 a: $3 Class Will We, the class of 1930 of the Central City High School, being of sound mind and memory, do hereby make our last will and testament: To the Juniors we bequeath our honored name of Seniors, which will give them the right to be sophisticated.

They entered into the activity with zeal and revershirked. This class hands down to you, for memories their glory and fame In time to come you will prove yourselves worthy of llSeniorf, our present name. 83 '33 23 Class Prophecy It was just ten years after my graduation from C. C. H. S. that I received my li- cense to be Central Cityls first girl aviatrits. I was going to make a non-stgp flight around thesworld, but did I? I was sailing merrily over the little metropolis of Clarks. I adjusted my tele- scope and gazed through it. I saw two very pretty milkmaids, they were Edna Beetem and Dorothy Edgar. At the time I saw them Edna had just tripped and soused Donald Clark, a farmer boy, with milk, and Earl Scott stood by laughing. The plane soared on. I reached Omaha and I noticed a heavily laden plane try- ing to make a landing. The pilot was Clifford Drinkall, and at the last I got to see the famous boop-boop-a-doopa girls. They were the two. Randahl twins. Not far distant I saw Orval Mathews on a football field. Coach Francis Crites,' who was a second Knute Rockne, had just told Orval to get busy with the aerial work. Or- val immediately began blowing up the footballs. I heard a terrible noise. The engine stopped and I landed rather quickly. I might have known that the first plane constructed by Chester Johnson and LaVerne Hutchinson would not 'be safe. I was rescued from the plane by Alice Cowell and her husband Harold Dickerson, who Were very happy at their hot-dog stand. I had noticed several questionable looking dogs running around. An airplane mechanic immediately answered my call and to my surprise it was Irene Yeik'; the best little mechanic in seven counties. Irene told me that Paul Anderson had grown rich by selling Andyis magic mud for the complexion. It worked especially well on mon- keys. By the way, Ferne Lovell, a famous prima donna, has written several testi-l monials that all Paul claims is true. At that time Harold added his bit. He said that Rose Sinsel 'was a tight rope walker in the Hensley and New circus. He also added that Margaret Richards and Rosina Smith were posing for magazines as a llbe- fore and after taking, for an advertisement of llQuick Way to Reduce? Alice chimed in with, lland did you know that Nelda Marr and her swimming instructor, Ronald McMaster, are planning to swim from New York to Liverpool? Then I told them my news-that Stanley Bice, the famous sword-swallower and fire-eater, almost choked to death on a herring 'bone the other day. That evening the Dickerson family and I went to the Cozy Corner theater which was run by Alvena Luce. 'The show that eve- ning was starring Alouise Duffy and Cheney Shelton in IlDoes the Flavor Lastf, a ' Speriment production. 'After the show we sought the IlPurple Can? a drug store, owned by Gladys Myers. She recommended one of Dale EOlT,S famous messes, lIThe a EoiFGedunkP ' oi The next day I sailed on. I soon reached Chicago. I had given up my idea of a non-stop flight. I found Birdeena Holderness posing for the great artist Antonia Tamatle, alias Orville Gwatrney. I was shown around the zoo by Elvin Bellin, the caretaker. It was here I found Marguerite Barton washing the little bears. Mar- guetite said she just adored them. She also told me that Donald Marr conducted a school of archery for the porcupines. 'Lvisited the public library. Here I found a book on lTHow to Serve Tempting Meals to Fliesll by Gwendolyn Willeman. The book was dedicated to Bayard Ellis, 21 noted insect chaser. A. D. 1930 mummt dum-
