jEvrflectiiB 1324 (Ulciss ntpltcrg As we stare into the depths of the future, our imagination pictures our classmates in different walks of life, according to our knowlerge of them as members of the Class of '24. Let Fancy take us to a theatre owfned by Mildred and Jeanette Freedman. with Edith Lawrence as Manager. Thressa Denessa sells us tickets, while Wilfred Ramey, (you know, he married Lucille Adair) ushers us to our seats It is lucky for us, that they have just begun a Comedy, “Custer s Last Custard Pie.” The Scenario was written by Florence Read. Ah, the Comedian is Louis Morinere with Freeda Moder as his leading lady. Of course there are bathing beauties, (a comedy isn,t a comedy without a troupe of balh ng beauties who stay away from the water) We recognize some of them as old classmates. They are Agnes Sparano, Anna Evans, and Mildred Hazlett., Frank Kreaps was the villian. We enjoyed the comedy as Louis is so realistic that it reminds us of our school days. The next thing flashed on the silver sheet is a seiiall, one of those hair-raising spectacles, written by Ellis Haislip, The poor heroine (and that was still more exciting when we found her to be Christine Wilson) is on the top of a fast moving train, which being on flip, is pursued by the villian Farmer Williams, and his accomplice Doris Monks.. All seems doomed for the heroine when out of the clear sky comes the rescuing hero, George Wachter. in an airoplane and snatched his fair lady from the clutches of the villian who was so sure of getting her.. They soared far above in the airoplane and to happiness. while the vidian and his accompl ce watches them without noticing they are approaching a tunnel. Yes, then they hit the top of the tunnel f | id fall. (The End.) Then Aimee tells us of George Wachjter's charming wife. May Ehe who was managing the coming Actor's Ball.

ti124 •piiiir 23 JJrflerttrft 3iisiitrg xtf iht Class xtf '24 Two well-known biologists, namely, Mr. Eckles and Mr. Stillings, were very much surprised one day, upon discovering among their large collection of Butterfly eggs, one egg, in particular, which seemed to stand out from all of the rest. It was, of course, very much like the others, but that it was ex-' tremely larger, and thus drew more interest from those studing along that, particular line, Neither of the two men were slow to realize the fact that a new speciman of Butterfly was about to be theirs, and soon other workers under the employ of these men became interested. Together, they watched and waited for the time when the Butterfly should flit about in the large Laboratory and Garden. But if these people were so greatly interested in the first stage of this peculiar speciman, even greater was their interest when a very large brown caterpillar appeared. And now, those in this large establishment were not alone in their interests, for the townpeople began to hear of the startling appearance of this new and exceptional speciman, and they too, began to question and inquire of the biologists, regarding it. During all of the second stage of its life, the Butterfly-to-be, was found to be able to move about faster than all of the many others about it. It crawled around continuaily an,d. appeared to be stronger ar.d livelier than all of the rest and up until the time that it entered into the pupae stage, it contiued to be so. Then, during the time it remained in that state, the interest became greater throughout the town; the people became more eager and expectant each one giving his own opinion as to what the butterfly would be 1 ke. One day, news was spread very rapidly through the town; that the Butterfly had appeared. Its beauty could not be excelled it’s speed in the air was to be marveled at, said only those who were there to see it w'ere really able to appreciate all of its wonders. It flitted about the building, and to all those whom it came in contact with, it seemed to give new l'ife and inspiration w'hich enabled them to go about their daily tasks cheerfully. Everyone admired it and their interest never slackened while it remained in the laboratory. But one day as Was the custom in this great institution, the doors were flung open, and the Butterfly was permitted to fly out into the open from thence to take it’s place in the wobld, as many others had previously done. Just so, did the Class of '24 go through four similar stages in their school life, only to find in the end that they too, must pass out of these open doors to make their own way in this great world, taking with them, memories only of their many happy days spent in Dear Old Farrell High School, L. M. B. ’24
