SENIOR PROPHECY lGHT gleamed, and the sprawling city stirred as the rays ot electrical lite glared at the approaching night. Huge skyscrapers, with now illuniinod peaks, towered with pleasing regularity along the glistening thoroughfare stretching to north and again south as the eye could visualize. Small tube-like cars, propelled by bursting rockets, scurried to and lro, with unceasing turmoil. Strange, perhaps, to one living in that ancient year l9E5, no pedestrians were in sight. Qbserving turther, one saw that no side- walks bordered this great highway. Apparently, no one walked while trav- eling, each having his own rocket car or aero-coupe to ride trorn point to point. Suddenly the view changed and a scenic boulevard curved ahead toward a vast arch ot masonry erected as a lasting and solitary monument to the once small village ot Southport that had thrived in that spot, and which long years ago had been enveloped with other skirting hamlets, to torrn a new part ot that everlasting metropolis, lndapo, the name indianapolis long since shortened. Within a beautitul structure at the end ot the boulevard was lioused the Southport High School tall schools had been converted to cope with the steadily increasing demands ot sciencel. A banquet was in progress, while two custodians ot the building observed from o small balcony high above the dining hall. Une ot the men at his work, inquired as to the identity oi the diners below. His companion, a man ot perhaps sixty years, turned, and with a grave look stated that those below were members ot one of the most remarkable classes ot Southport and added as an atterfthought that it was the class of l935. How do you mean, remarkable? asked the young mon ot the older the older man being, ii you have not already guessed! none other than lohn Harding, a taithtul worker in that institution. lt would be entirely too long to tell it we stood here, answered lohn. return to the boiler room and till try to enlighten you. Atter descending in the elevator to the lower contfnes oi the building they comtortably seated themselves and alter reireshcning his mind with monte ories ot bygone days, lohn began his narrative. At that time l had only casual conact with some ot my tellow class- mates, but ten or titteen years atter their graduation, l began to hear remark- able things concerning the members. l shall try to give you a brief account ot what they have done to enter into the limelight ci the world. lVlarjorie Parker is comtrtrtably settled in a auaint little home in Terre rr 4 haute.

CLASS HISTORY CQLOHS -Blue and Silver. MCTTO - With the ropes of the past we can ring the bells of the future. N September, l93l, approximately one hundred and twenty-five Freshmen entered the doors of Southport High School. We Freshmen didn't quite realize what tasks we had before us. At first we thought there would be hardships of every variety, but after we became accustomed to the building and our new studies we decided the four years that we would spend under the roof of this school would be four years of good times. Ncw that the four years have come to pass our prophecy was true. Qur good times started with the election of class officers. We elected the following students, who carried out our plans to the highest degree: Alice Hittle as President: Thomas Smith as Vice-President, and Mildred Hauser as Secretary and Treasurer. Our class sponsor was Miss Marshall, who, as most of us know, is now teaching in New Mexico. The following September, l932, one hundred and sixteen Sophcmores returned to acquire more knowledge. The class officers of that year were: Hugh Lamb, who was elected President and then resigned. Thomas Smith, who was elected Vice-President, had to take Hugh's position as President, and who proved to be capable of that office. Dorothy Ftaine was Secretary and Treasurer and our class sponsor was Miss Penrod. We were less in number, hut that didn't hinder us in the least, we kept right on going and forcing our way ahead. ln the fall of '33 only one hundred and three came back to enioy the fun and activities of Southport High School. Cur class officers of the one whole year of entertainment were Ally Burks, holding the office of President, Hose- niary lsenhower as Vice-President, and lack Elder as Secretary and Treasurer. Qur class sponsor was Mr. Leedy. That year we staged a play, Her EX- Husbandf' which was a huge success. 'Wife gave the seniors a reception, which we hope they will never forget. Another year gone and only one more. We all hope it will bring as much joy as this last year has brought to us. September, l935, our last year! We were surely going to make this year a year we would never forget. l think most of us have. Cur class officers were: President, Ally Burksg Vice-President, Iohn Uhl, and Secretary and Treasurer, Hazel Pitcher. Our sponsor was Miss Florence Day. This year our class presented the play The Million Dollar Butler, which was directed by Miss Kersey. This presentation was also a grand success. Two members of cur class, whom we wish to honor and to whom we want to give credit for already making a way for themselves in this great- wide-wcrld, are lames Sutterfield, who is in Ramona, California, making a smooth path for his later years in life, and Elgie Porter, who has joined the Navy in search of success along that line. Several of our classmates have settled dcwn to face life together. Some have married among their own classmates and others have found partners elsewhere. Approximately seventy-three of us are graduating. We regret leaving school, and many cf us, venturing into this world alone, will never meet again. We give a hearty thanks to all of our educators and hope that the following classes will have as grand a time as we had in our old Alma Mater.
