SENIOR PROPHECY Since the earliest dates of history, it has been the custom of all people Of all nations to consult certain established and recognized authorities about future events. As the Class of 1928 sees our high school days drawing to a close, it is only natural that we should attempt in some way to find what the future holds for us. After long study and careful investigation of all authorities on future events, we have decided that by far the greatest and most reliable authority on such subjects in the widely known and highly respected Oracle of Apollo, located at Delphi. We accordingly left our daily tasks long enough to journey together to the great temple of wisdom and learn what the future had in store for each o-f us. We made the trip in a non-stop flight in our famous aeroplane The Spirit of the Senior Class. We marched before the Altar of Apollo and informed the Oracle that we desired to learn where each of us would be and what We would be doing thirty years from now. Behold! A vision came before our ey,es and we were amazed at what we saw. Through the marvelous power of the Oracle we were able to see the entire world as it will appear in the year 1958. Looking closely at the picture placed before our eyes we see ourselves and our classmates in all parts of the world and doing all kinds of work. First we see Ernest Gripe, our class president. He has gained considerably in weight since he quit playing basketball and nfow easily fills the chair of president of the Fur Trappers' Association in Hawaii. Kenneth Liebert has the job of polishing the moon so that it' will always shine. Vera Holmes is in Mulberry selling repair parts for hairpins and thumbtacks. This is such a prosperous business that she is thinking about ,establishing a series of chain stores.

I' SENIORCLASS HISTORY We came, we studied, we conquered. For a brief four years we have done our best to make our school a better one. Sev- enty-two of us set out on this short jour- ney, but only forty of us have arrived., As Freshmen we made great progress in knowledge, and took part in many activi- ties. We not only had great dramatic abil- ity as was shown by Miss Betsy's Pro- postal , but also won recognition in ath- letics where Ernest Gripe played forward on the basketball team. Purple and old gold were selected as our class colors. We further proved our school spirit by contrib- uting twenty dollars to the Oracle fund. Our freshman y,ear was endedby a delight- ful picnic at Falling Springs. . , , Our Freshmen officers were: 4' President ............. John Peterson Vice-President ........ Mildred Bloyd Secretary ..... . . .Marion Robbins Treasurer .. Mary Heiland I. Sponsor .... .. . . Miss Ogle Our Sophomore year was rather unevent- ful. However, we proved our ingenuity by presenting an original program in the as- sembly, the main feature being a song, Sophomore Class, by the double quartet. Near the end of school we held ourlpicnic at Hargraves's Camp. Although the upper classmen were beginning to think of us as grown-ups, w.e proved that we really were still children by serving all-day suckers as part of our refreshments, and we noticed that the teachers seemed to enjoy them as well as we did. During our Junior year we w,ere termed the most illustrious 'class in high school. Our various activities and high grades proved that fact. We had five boys on the basketball squad and six on the track team. Several members of our class who entered the oratorical contests won places. We chose red and white as our class colors and that everyone might know that we were Juniors we purchased red sweaters with white numerals on them, We were very proud of the success of our play Babu and of our Junior-Senior Reception, which was held at the Country Club. Our, Junior officers were: President .............. Ernest Crripe Vice-President ....... Charles Downs Secretary ....... Frances Reed - Treasurer . . . . . . John Bunnell Sponsor .. . ... Miss Baker Our Senior year has been an unusual one. Besides taking part in many student activities we have worked hard to try to make our Oracle a success. Our class play, The Patsy, a decided success, was a credit to our class. We selected as our motto By our own efforts we hope to rise, and as our ,class emblem the aero- plane, Spirit of Senior Class. There still remains Senior Week-possi- bly the most important week of our lives, This includes Junior Reception, Baccalau- reate, the Senior Tea, our class picnic, our Class Day exercises, and Commencement. ill..
