95 4- 4- 4- 4- 4- 4- E6 SENIOR CLASS PROPHECY fBy Frances Gunnersonj Having been appointed secretary of the reunion association for the class of 1929, it is with a sense of duty that 1 record the happenings and interesting points that made this reunion a success. Twenty years have elapsed since that unforgotten night when we as a class accepted our diplomas and stepped boldly out into the world to seek our fortunes, twenty years packed full of the things life has to offer. June 12, 1949, 6 o'clock sharp was the date set for the reunion. Of course, there was to be a supper and a general discussion to follow. Ray Woods, present janitor of the school and in spare times handy man around Everett's Funeral Parlor, had everything in readiness. The chairs and table arrangement had been neatly arranged in the spacious new cafeteria by Marelda Metzler, who is a reporter for the Press. Then during idle moments she handles all scandals and writes suggestions to weary lovers. At five o'clock, the first stragglers began to make their appearance. The program committee under the direction of George Stiffler and Mary Slosson, had arranged a most elaborate entertainment. Mary, by the way, now puts sugar in George's coffee each morning. At six o'clock sharp the orchestra, under the direction of Theodosia Estrada, burst forth in a lusty march and the members of the class trooped to their places. Grace was said with a great deal of fervor by Reverend Hersey. The two waiters, Beth Tanner and Pearl Kolb, did splendid work at all times. lt is only natural for them to do so as they practice the trade in Fern Chandler's frather Mrs. Harvey Freeman'sJ restaurant. The program after the passing of the soup was short and sweet. Two piano solos were rendered helpless by the great artist, Fred Burrell. The big surprise of the evening came when Vivian Traver, the Dean of Women, suddenly arose and announced her engagement to Lester Otto, the famous detective. A short play entitled Bring Back Them Good Old Days by our classman, Vera Lewis, was next presented. Luella Teskie, who starred recently in the successful play, Marriage is Bliss made a most pleasing eveful as the dainty heroine. Another of the class who has made distinction in the movies is Helen Green. Miss Green made her success in Telling Secrets. After this diversion, the speaker for the evening, Alice Hersey, the first woman mayor of Elsinore was introduced by the city clerk, Margaret Lewis. Ethylyn Graham was called upon to give a talk on how she trained to become the world's most famous athlete. Everything was progressing splendidly when suddenly the lights went out and some one yelled FlRE! Immediately there was a rush to the door. A panic resulted and when all seemed hopeless the calm voice of Detective Lester Otto was heard. He organized a posse which set out to determine the trouble. Soon all had been restored to their places but 'the lights were still out. However, janitor Ray Woods with his helper, Alma Johnson, were at work and repaired the damage which to their disgust was nothing except that Ruth Orvis Hopper. when she came in with her three little Hoppers had neglected to watch the twins, Ruth and Don Jr. and they thought it great fun io push all those little things in the big black box. The next few hours passed uneventfully. The school clocks had not been fived for 20 years, so when the bell rang for the first class in the morning it seemed advisable that the reunion break np. Everyone is urged to attend the next meeting on June 12, 1969. So it is that I come to the end of the report. lt is well that the job is finished for my husband is shouting at me to get dinner prepared. i gp 4- 4- 4- 4- 4- - 4- qi ..11...

MISS JOHNSON Class Adviser. 1 SENIOR HISTORY The class of '29 started their high school career in September, l925, f b 35 Th e r was made successful through the with a membership o a out . . e y a able direction of Mrs. Clark, who was class advisor. Miss Jones was the advisor for the Sophomore year and though nothing of great importance was done, it's a year that will ne'er be forgotten. The Junior year was a busy year, for money had to be raised for the junior-Senior banquet. Candy sales, entertainments, and dances were the chief means of making money. The banquet, which was held at the Womans Club, was a grand success. Miss johnsm led us through this difficult year. Ah! Seniors and their privileges. Ditch day was a happy clay spent at Big Pine. Miss johnson, again our class teacher, was chaperon. The Ad- mirable Crichton, the Senior play, was enjoyed by everyone. The juniors entertained the Seniors this time with a dinner clance at the Mission lnn at Riverside. The four years are years that will always be remembered and most of us are sorry they are over. 4- 44 4- 4- 4- A 4-4 qi ..10..-
