Tide court 'has not yet pronounced the writer to be in full possession of all lsixj senses, therefore, he must hold himself absolutely irresponsible for any misstated facts which by some hook or crook might find their way into the following passages. A last Senior Class meeting was called to crder by President Millgard. on one of those glorious days in the latter part of May, in the year nine- teen hundred and twenty six. The motion was made by Miss Helen Z. Glaser and seconded by the unrecognized class philosopher, H. P. Baker. that the class of '26 hold a Class Reunion in the year nineteen hundred and fifty-one. The vote was unanimous in favor of the reunion. It was also decided that the reunion should be held in the form of a festival at Gerber's Grove. By the way, we were sadly disappointed on that occasion. It was dif- ficult for the smartest of us to find the Grove, and to our surprise we found it to be grown up with skyscrapers made of marble and such materials as only The Bread Basket of the World would permit within its bounds. At any rate we withdrew from the crowded city of Colfax to a pleasant site some ten miles distant, and there held the most famous festival the- world has ever known. The day was one of merry-making' and it gave a number of the class of '26 great joy in seeing their grandchildren waddling around on the greens grass and expressing their teresting events to me was menting with their new air fortunate, such as bachelors this occasion, but from my unquestionable happiness. One of the most in- watching some of Mr. Wagner's boy's experi- plane. It was thought that some of the less and old maids, would not enjoy themselves on vantage point I could see that everyone was. having a good time. Mr. Walters and S. K. Randall were among the less fortunate lwho knowst?l, and there was extremely noticeable competition shown over Miss Shinkoskey when the partners for games were being chosen. Messrs. Sanders and Crumbaker resorted to their old game of' debating and cluttering up the grounds with shavings. Uncle Clyde was constantly reminded by Aunt Doris that her ankle was still somewhat weak from doing the Charleston, and that it was necessary for her crutches. to be near at hand. Speed Cop Newton felt it his duty to keep a keen eye on the clouds, but I noticed that his attention was frequently arrested by his wife, formerly Miss Gass, who was flirting with some old classmates, such as Upshaw and Schirman. Captain Lothspeich spent most of the day relating his experiences in football tactics while in Colfax High School.. You probably haven't heard that Mr. Weskil and his wife, formerly Bessie Swift, are t.he leading stage performers at the Rose , Miss Teade was stage manager for an outdoor entertainment given by them. Mr. Scl1iblin's attendance was made possible on account of a vacation being granted by re-- quest of his wife Elizabeth K. Schiblin, after serving for six years as Minister to Spain. Coxfeyl had discharged his army ten days previously but his better half, Helen, wouldn't be totally satisfied unless they attended the festival. Mary C. Stenzel has been president of the W, C. T. U. for several years but from her husband's actions at the festival she evidently hasn't expounded on him to a sufficient extent. As usual President Mill gard was wholly unprepared to give a speech, but fortunately his wife, Thelma R. Millgard, reminded him of his Commemoration Ode, Why My Alibis Worked in C. H. S.. George F. Cornelius, president of Cornelius and Firm, who had for some years past lost all account of time, did not know that ways for transportation had advanced and spent practically all day in explaining to Miss Stadel why the 1926 Buick was unexcelled in Page Twenty- eight
