This year wo under-classmen rogret to see fifty-two of our high school’s prize students leaving our halls forever. Looking forward to next year without the ones we have learned to love and follow seems to leave an empty fooling in our hearts that won’t depart for a long whilo. But in spite of our regrets at their departure, we wish to con gratulato thon upon their graduation. Soniors, we wish you all kinds of luck as you go out into tho world to nako your way, and after all, you must remember tho world isn’t as dark now as it has been in the past. With a deep feeling of regret in our hearts we say— Bon voyage to the class of ’35, The class that’s best of all; May the sea be easy and the billows smooth As you answer to your call. - o Bob Waggoner.---

Slowly the prison doors opened and the anxious crowd pushed forward into the reception room. After all were seated, there were many greetings among old acquaintenances. The warden, John Cary, entered and announced that the prisoners would bo brought into celebrate the occasion. Steps were heard in the corridor and in came the jailor leading poor old Jimmy Rob ins or., his head shorn and looking very gaunt in his striped suit. Why, Jimmy, dear ! 11 exclaimed the sweet little voice of the former Audrey Kendall, now Mrs. Lincoln Fremont Swain, wife of the famous criminal lawyer, I never expected to see you here I I car.’t help it, Audrey—I lifted Mr. Osikas pockot book back in 1935 and the law finally got me. Noxt came Archie Kanscn, who. Warden Cary announced, was in for life for failing to pay alimony to his 4th wife, Alctha Leather-wood. Blanche Sandon, the notorious love-pirate, jumped up and criod, Wo vrnnt I'otlofsen 1 • Ter husband, Cecil Laws, jerked her roughly to her seo.t, kno-.ri.ng her weakness, as sho had just divorced Ben Daniels.
