THE BLUE AND GOLD Page Fifteen colder it grew. Suddenly a terrific explosion occurred, and I felt sprays of water dashing over my face. Then a strange thing happened; l awoke and found itl to be all a dream, for I had heated a vial con- taining ether and, on becoming warm, the fumes carried me off to the land of dreams. In a few moments I had been fully revived by several members of the faculty. Ana thus I owe this acount of the future of the best class that ever will graduate from the Conshohocken High School, that of 1926. to the ac- cident of that afternoon.

Page Fourteen THE BLUE AND GOLD belonging to those of our class- mates, who made fighting popular during our school days. We there- fore followed the crowd to the arena. As we entered the gateway we were hailed by several ushers, who proved to be Anne Keown. Florence Craw- ford, Mary Fennell. Esther Cress- man and Alice Davenport. “How are you Anne? What on earth brought you and your friends here? I inquired. “Oh, Anne Griffiths In- duced us to accompany her to this city to answer several matrimonial advertisements. She was successful in landing her hubby but we are stranded.” In a short time the fight began. During the second round a riot was started and the police raided the arena to discontinue the fight. As the squadron rushed past our seats we realized it was headed by Jimmie'' Mellon. The prisoners were soon landed in the patrol wagon. We found the vehicle in charge of Cecil Johnston, who in- vited us to be present at the hear- ing. We immediately started to walk towards the police court. While on our way we entered a drug store and behind the counter was no other than Vernon Scott. While we were sitting there I glanced out of the window and saw Kathryn Bulger pass by with another girl. I rushed out the door to speak to her but by the time I had reached the street she had dissappeared. We then proceeded towards the police court again. On our way we passed a restaurant and to my surprise 1 saw Olglenna Krieble, Rose Kauff- man. Catherine Sukalski and Mary Tancini waiting on the tables. In a short time we found the court and without ceremony entered and took a seat. When the first case on the docket, was called, and the prisoner was brought forth. I concluded that this was surely an unluckly day for the Class of ’2fi, as the prisoner proved to be John “Lightning” Beyer, who was accused of drunkenness and beating his wife. We, however, thought these accusations to be false, as Johnnie was strictly tem- perate during his school days. The case was tried by the noted judge, John Prizer. After several questions, the judge remarked, 'Look here, you've been drinking; I smell it on your breath.” Beyer immediately replied. 'Not a drop: I've been eating frog’s legs; what you smell is the hop.” “Silence,” thundered Judge Prizer. “I suppose drink was your downfall.” “Yes,” answered Beyer with great calmness! “I took a drink of water which had microbes in it, and 1 haven't had a well day since.” I could hardly suppress a smile, for 1 realized that the case would scon be settled. The next offender was accused of speeding and proved to be Ruth Staley She was going forty-five miles an hour,” answered the cop. “But I had been out only ten minutes. replied Ruth. “Twelve-fiifty and costs. Let this be a lesson for you,” said the judge. He then called for the next prisoner. To our surprise Margaret Sampson was escorted into the room. “What is the charge?” asked Judge Prizer. “Annoying the comunity by in- cessant talking, complaint entered by husband, who was yesterday con- fined to a sanitarium for weak nerves. read the clerk of court. “When ycu were here before I told you I never wanted to see you again.” thundered the judge. “I told the policeman that, but he wouldn't believe me,” said the prisoner. “The jug, thirty days,” shouted Judge Prizer. We decided to leave then and as we went out I looked over towards the jury. There I saw Marie Town- send, Dorothy Davies, Viola Ver- coe, Gladys Horisk. Rosella Gravi- nese and Dorothy Carponek We turned back to our machine and in a short time were there. After entering the craft I turned to my trusty pilot, and said. “You have surely fulfilled your promise tn showing me the future of my class- mates. but before you return to your wierd home, tell me of my future. Hesitatingly, he replied, “I'd rather not, but if you insist, here goes. He turned the machine and we headed North. Hour . by hour we traveled, and colder and

THE BLUE AND GOLD Page Sixteen favorite pastimes is dancing and she is never so happy as when doing this. Her ambitions are to become telephone operator, actress and typ- ist. We often wonder if she will give up telephone operating to keep house for Myer or will she throw them both over and go on the stage, we wish her luck in which ever she chooses. “Number, please?

Commercial Club, 4, Science Club, 2, “Diogenese looks for a Secretary,” 4. Florence is a stylish young lady who can be seen almost any time enjoying the comforts of a Dodge. She is quite a little chatterbox, live- ly and full of fun. She dances and has great “crushes.” Her ambition in life is to learn astronomy, es- pecially while on roof gardens. Was- n't there a nifty one at the Burling- ton Hotel in Washington? A girl that we love for her sweet sunny smile, A girl whom we know is surely worthwhile.” ESTHER CRESSMAN “Stump,” “Terry” “Gee!” “Gypsy Rover,” 3, Glee Club, Com- mercial Club, 4, Gregg, Club, 4, Sci- ence Club. 1, English Club, 1. Esther has proven herself a very punctual young lady. Despite the fact that she has a good two-mile walk to school she was very seldom late. She is fond of horse-back rid- ing but always had a secret desire to own an “iron horse.” We hope you get one, Stump. “Terry, set your goal for height, 1 will meet you on my flight.” ALICE DAVENPORT “Al” “Shrimp” “Oh, I do Not!” “Gypsy Rover, 3.

Class Secretary, 4, Class Representative to Student Council, 3. We all recognize Dorothy as the brightest in the class. She is one of our quiet girls, but then you all know that adage about, A wise old owl lived in an oak, the more he heard the less he spoke.” Dorothy's favorite pastime is reading. She intends to go to college. Success to you in whatever course you take! “Little and sweet. Modest and meek.” MARY FENNELL “Fun” “Hey, Suzie. Glee Club, 1, 2, “Gypsy Rover,” 3, Commercial Club, 4. Each class has its noisy members and its quiet ones. Mary is another who belongs to the latter group. She is always seen with a group of girls who are proud to be called her friends, but she is very seldom heard. We know that with her quiet, cheer- ful disposition she will win as many friends out in life as she did during her high school days. “Her voce was ever soft, gentle, low. An excellent thing in woman.
