et ' SCARLET iefxxfl-IITE A CIIIIOI' Class PITOP CCY 0 this is dear old Deshler, I murmured as I aligbted from the train. I was starting toward the station when a voice asked Luggage, lady? Carelessly I handed the boy my suit case and he said The Bunker Inn? After my nod of assent we proceeded on our way. At the Main Street crossing stood a man waving a red flag. I stopped and looked. I knew the : V - man looked familiar. Suddenly it came to me that it was lny old school friend, Clyde Vantlorn. With a glad cry I grasped his hand and excitedly we began talking. He told me that he had a nice home and wife. Upon inquiring I learned that he had married Hester and that they were living over Suber's butcher shop. Promising to call on theln I went on. As I passed a restaurant a slnall child and a big bull dog came out of the door. The child began crying. Come in here, Clara, called a harsh voice from within. The child looked helplessly around and continued its crying. The door opened again and this time Orla Freeman came out. Why. 0rla, I began. In a broken voice he told me he had been ,iilted and that be had married Violet Bergman a few months later. Just then Violet appeared and after many questions we parted. 1 finally reached the Bunker Inn aml looked for the boy ff? Q 4 u it-:tri 9943 his sudd carrying my suit case. There stood Milford wiping the perspiration from his brow. Vl'ell, Milford ! and we began talking. I asked many ques- tions an Shaking d he eagerly answered them. all but one. and then he blushed. his head he replied sadly No: I never--A -f, and turning abruptly be disappeared through the door. Standing there astonished at en departure 1 did not hear foot steps approaching me. Any- thing for you, lady? and turning I saw Clarice with a mop and bucket in hand. This was another surprise and after greetings Clarice called Troas, who was also working there. It seemed like old times and we talked on until the proprietor came in. Look who's here, lVIr. Hill, and the next instant all four of us were talking and laughing as of yore. After registering, Troas took me to a lovely front l'0I7lll. It was so warm that I was obliged to ring for the hell boy to bring me some ice Page Thirty-two water, I was very much pleased with the quick service of the Bunker Inn. No sooner had I rung the hell than Kenneth entered with a large pitcher. After resting I decided to look up my old friends. I had gotten no further than the Caesar theatre when I espied Thelma Clevenger seated in the ticket booth crocheting. I rushed to her side and asked her how she came to be there. Blushing and with downcast eyes she said that she had finally consented to be Rudolph's wife. She also said she crocheted for Adaline's art store. She called Rudolph and from them I learned also that Helen Freeman and I.uella had a life-long position in the Deshler High School. Leaving them, I crossed the street and entered the Gerdeman under- taking establishment. No sooner had I crossed the threshold than Vir- ginia confronted me and said that Oscar had been called out into the country. She invited me to lunch at Holmes' Cafe. It was then twelve o'clock so we proceeded thither. Florence came tripping in with a big white apron on. It was a happy evening and just as we were leaving we ran into Kathryn, which was another happy meeting. She said she had been married three years and her husband was the engineer on the Findlay branch. VVe talked along the street and the girls told me that Maxine kept a sanitarium at I-Ioytville. I asked them about Helen Smith. Where was she? They sadly told me that she was at the sanitarium sudering from granulated eyelids. They also told me that they had made a wonderful bathing beach out of the reservoir. I was anxious to see it and immediately we directed our steps toward the beach. Arriving there, I percieved Harold VVink standing in the shallow water. His large brawny arms, exposed to the sun and wind, had be- come bronzed. Across his chest the words Life Saver were written in large white letters. VVe talked to him and found out that he had saved lidythe Stewart from the watery depths just the week before. Thelma WVeaver was his wife and they resided happily one block north of the coal chutes. fn- M- VV-

Yes. even the Class of 1920 of Deshler High School, is doomed to go the way of all the world, and pass from High Sehool to return no more. ' Yvhen the startling information was eireulated 'round among her friends that poor old 1920 must die. a wave of the most sincere and heart-felt lamentation swept over the entire community. To be sure, it was not altogether unexpeeted. for we have long known that the end must eoine. sooner or later. and that. in view of the complication of disorders from which she had long been suffering, there eould be but little hope entertained of her ultimate reeovery. Still. we did not think that the crisis was near at hand, and we resolutely put from our minds the thought of her final dissolution as often as it eame to ns, and tried not to realize the nearness of the approaehing calamity. As year after year passed by, and the struggling patient. though fighting desperately for life. seemed in her usual health and spirits, the hour of her departure seeming just as far off as ever, we kept thinking hopefully of the future hours yet remaining, refusing to accept the verdiet of the wise doet- ors who deelared that her days were numbered. l.ike all of her predeeessors. she laughed and she played: she sang, and she worked, and she made merryg she shouted her yell with all the gusts and vigor imaginable about the streets of the eity: she studied---when she had to-even being able to set up at night now and then when she wished to and she rejoieed when she escaped the having to. and altogether eondueted her- self after the mainier of organized elasses sinee the very be- ginning of all sehool life. Therefore. when that wise eouneil of doetors that sat in judgment on this lively patient. spread broadcast the direful tidings of the absolute hopelessness of her ease. there was a wide-spread sorrow over all the surf rounding eonnuunity. and a mantle of mourning shrouded the entire eity in its soinbre folds. Vllllis. lhenfthe awful hour we have dreaded for so many weeks---is the end of all. May Zlst has eome. Nineteen- twenty. puny. weak and emaeiated. is stretched before your eyes. and struggling for breath. Draw near. all you who have been friends of this most illustrious of all High Sehool elasses. and listen to her last words: for like all departing spirits she has inueh to say in the last fleeting moments of her lite. Dear l'rineipal: WX-. the elass whieh is about to pass for- ever from the land of living students. thank you with our last breath for all that you have done for every part of us during the year we have been in your eare. Our teaehers have all had their part in instrueting us. but we feel that you have been aetive in eonstrueting us. They have all had their part in instrueting. 'llhey have all had a hand in our education. You have been likewise a vital inspiration. Ythat is there left for I 'age 'l'hii'ty-three
