A new automobile record was recently made. A guy drove from coast to coast wlthout eating a single hot dog. Many a poor fellow merely gargles instead ef drinking deep of this fountain of knowledge. Fame is fleeting--even for Seniors. There is no canker more undermining than ignor- ance. There IS no balm more S0Otl'l1lIg' than knowl- edge. Pity the poor fish who thinks his seat of learning is a davenportf' I need no one to defend me. Early to bed and early to rise and I never meet any prominent guys. I do not Choose to run. It's easv to get a man's goat-if you know where he ties it. Vlfhere did you learn to drive? By the blindfold test, maybe? All that lies between the high school student and the top of the ladder-is the ladder. Hrevity is the sale of wit. If it were not for Annabelle and me, the Senior class could be outweighed.

They let me out of school on good behavior, not because of scholarship. Vkfise men don't talk: Rich men don't walk. I'd rather be rich than wise, My picture is herein contained, but I am holding out for more money on the signature. All good things come in small packagesg remem- ber I was little once.

4 AE! ii' J E.. PROPHECY Twenty-five years ago, in the year 1930, the senior class of Chadron High School vowed solemnly to have ru Class reunion May 23, 1955, and as many as possible, take a round the world tour. On the set day, the S, S. Aquitania set sail with twenty-seven graduates of C. H. S. Arrangements had been made for the reservation of a large table for the class. When the hour for dinner came, the table was filled by the twenty-seven of the class of '30, At the head of the table sat the cap.ain of the ship, Robert Johnson. At his right sat Kathryn Lowry, president of the class, who in the lapse of twenty-five years had gained the position of vocal teacher in Bush conservatory. Next to her sat jack Powers who had been employed by Lloyd Card Ca prominent plumber in Dunlapj as a ditch digger. Next to jack sat Margaret Van Horn, a physical education instructor who kept her special reducing clais consisting of Rubye Williams, Rowenna Atwood and Emily Augustine, on a strict diet during the entire trip. Next to Miss Van Horn sat Roy Fossan, a Sherlock Holmes Il. Dorothy Waltz sat next to'Roy. She delighted in telling about her husband and her six children who are traveling on an Orpheum Circuit in a tumbling act. .Merle Gatzmeyer sat next to her. He had gained in size, and is noni a famous horse doctor. All during the trip he lamented the fact that there were no horses on board to eed pi s to. Rubye Williams came next in line. She had married a certain young lawyer from her home town, whom she referred to as Dutch. Clevls Lecher, coming next in line, had abandoned his search for museum specimens long enough to take the voyage. Next to 'him sat Ola Stout. Ola was well known everywhere she went, for she had attained great fame as a race car driver. She had made several records. Next to Ola.sat Harry Boyd. Harry's .voice had been heard all over the United States, for he is the Master of Ceremonies in the national network radio programs. Next came Nellie Beth Shoaf. She is the head of the Building and Loan Association. Clive Short came next. He has been getting advertising tor an international magazine of note. Next to him sat Marguerite Hultberg, a riding instructor in Stevens riding academy. Fred Blodgett was next. He is a collector of stamps and coins. Bethel Brown came next. She has been a W. C. T.

She has married and divorced the movie actor, Alfred Augustine. Janet Halldorson, next at the table, had left her cottage with the clothesline in back, long enough to go on the trip. Bonnie Cronk, next in line, is the floor walker of a large department store. Next came Margaret Palen, who has found a wonderful process which makes straight hair naturally curly. As the good ship Aquatania churned the sea to foam and left a white path in its wake, the class of '30 talked, played deck games, and enjoyed themselves thoroughly first day out. Second day out, there seemed to be several people missing at the table reserved for the class of '30. On the third or fourth day, these reappeared with pale but smiling' faces. The first country we stopfped in was Scotland. He heard of a great American who was running a pawn shop there successfully. The rst successful one ever run ln Scotland. We visited this shop to see the man, and who should it be but Duane Lyman. Our next stop was in London where our party went to an opera, starring no other prima donna but Mabel Mann. From England we went to France, and learned that Doris Anderson was employed in some Parisian shop as dress designer. In Germany we found Irene Bare. She is writing a history of the VVorld War. Also Ethel Littrel. She is writing the only comprehensible book on Einstein's theory. In the course of events we arriyed in Spain where we went to a program. The first was a dance by Annabelle Smith, Imagine our surprise when a slender. graceful Annabelle tripped out. She had discovered a marvelous reducing compound which she used to n great advantage. In Italy we found an Information Bureau run by Grace Berry. Vtfhen at last we arrived in China, we went to the Hop Foy hotel, and discovered that the elevator girl was Lillian Humiston. In the Philippine Islands, Veree Thompson was just preparing to hop off for a non-stop round the world Edo flight. In the Hawaiian Islands Marion Zink was teaching the Hawaiians how to play the Hawaiian ultar. In Panama we found an exclusive millincrylshop run by Marion Cameron. While we were in Mexico, Clevls was nearly run down by an ambulance, driven by Catherine Hutchison. When we neared New York City we heard a radio program, and for the first time heard the song hit, Lullabye Baby Blues, written by Mrs. Elizabeth Miller Mackey, and sung by Miss Helen Wollesen. As a farewell party the class went to a theater on Broadway, and saw that famous comedienne team, consisting of Wilma Barker and Leta Wiley. They were under a contract which accounted for them not taking the trip. As the class members dispersed to go to their respective homes, each held in his heart a joyful memory for Chadron High School, and all it had done for them.

XVhen youth calls to youth it makes a lot of extra business for the telephone. At all events the correspondence school does leave its stamp. All men may be born equal, but they soon get over ll., Here's to the faculty, and long may they live-- liver as long as the lessons they give. All great men need rest. I can sleep anywhere, any tune, any place. Remember that 'U' is the most important letter in your success' Sleep is necessary for good health. I guess teach- ers rlon't want healthy pupils. All great men just sign their names. It takes forty-five muscles to frown-but only sixteen to smile. I do not prefer eight periods a day. Beauty is but skin deep. Common sense is thicker than a mile. Hreyity is the soul of wit. l'romising opens the eyes of expectation. Five people killed in an automobile accident in Chicago. 'l'hat's news. A wise Mann speaks but little. Society is now one polished horde, Formed of two mighty forces, the Bores and the bored.
