3 I H' S 'ir' 'S Qfmnticleer PKOPHECY The High School Gymnasium was a blaze of color and a riot of noise. Cars were racing down the street, and a band was playing. It was the lOth annual home-coming of the class of HZVH: It was the first time we had all gathered together since that night so long ago when we stood on the stage and received our diplomas. we had co s from near and far, and a sense of gayety was the keynote of the occasion. The younger generation was in a hilarious mood, also, for it was the night after the championship foot- ball game between Davis and Dixon. We now possessed the S. C. A. L Cham- pionship . We were served a turkey dinner by the cooking class under the direc- tion of Naida Ritchey, the domestic science teacher. The main speaker of f!,f 'mftsNsiD the evening was Gordon Watson. We were reminded Qf Nfi.Z.n,. the many times he spoke to us .. Q I f lg! in the role of Student Body 5- 5 Qdffgx Nxxvgn , ! President.

She is now a happily married so- 'A i ' 7' ': cial leader of Dixon, and is noted 151 for her suc- cessful bridge part- ies. She didn't bring her 'twins with ' her, for they had the croup. Vernon Dutra owns a string of polo ponies and has formed a team that plans to beat Argentina this season. Marguerite Reimers has been making a series of lectures on nwhy Stu- ' dents Should Not Study as Hard as,I Didu. Accompanying her on the tour was Wilda Pritchard. Wilde is Marguerite's secretary and answers all her fan mail. The Norton brothers have gone at the business of farming very seriously. Ellwood has bought all of Maine Prairie, and Raymond has bought Tremont. Ellwood has an offer to join the circus as a spieler , and will probably sell his farm to brother Raymond. The next person I chanced to meet was Orabelle Tutt, a teacher in a San Francisco grammar school. She told me that among her pupils was Irving Dietrich's small son. Irving is a pro- fessional tennis player and recently won the Davis Cup championship.
