THE l935 CAULDRON Page Twenty-six CLASS PROPHECY-Continued of the state are Eugene Ricker, Elmer Sheets, Wil- bur and Stanley Slipher, and Curtis Day. Their wives are Evelyn Hengst, Lillian Carder, Wilma McConnell, Iola Felty, and Anna Ostler. We catch a glimpse of Charlene Cue. She is still galloping over the country side with Smoky trotting along beside her. The Social Science course offered in 34-35 has evidently had a great affect on that senior class judging by the number which it has contributed to the world of politics. The eminent Mr. Cue has recently been re-elected as Mayor of Mulberry. Milton Shepherd is now prosecuting attorney and Sam Powers is judge of the Supreme Court. Mary Louise Reeder is court reporter. Mary Louise Chil- cutt is the Secretary of Labor in Washington. As further proof of the important role of women in politics we find that Frances Garrott was elected County Auditor and that O'Neal Henson is the United States Ambassador to Czeckoslavakia. George Weimer and Gerald Taylor were recently sent to represent the United States at a peace conference in Geneva. Richard Shaffer is assistant to Huey Long down in Louisiana. Out in Hollywood we learn that Mary Emma Shanks has taken the place of Garbo in the hearts of the people. lt seems that juan Ramos has turn- ed his photographic talents to making moving pictures. The latest picture which Harold Clement directed was a huge success. lt starred Dick Young and Katherine Brittain. ln front of a large New York theater are several members of the class, Leon Goodnight, George Greene, and George Hoov- er, standing in line to buy tickets for the show, from Maxine Kellar. The house is packed for it is the first night of the newest picture of Harry john- son, who is acclaimed a second john Boles. We see that Harold Van Tyle is appearing in the role of Mephistopheles in Faust at the Metropolitan Opera House. Doctor Marian Thompson has established her of- fice in the city of Chicago. Vernon Weaver and Chester Newbold seem quite contented on a diet of love and lettuce. The editor of Frankfort's daily paper is now Mary Shrader. Two of her star reporters are Levell and Whelan. The sport editor is, of course, Richard Reagan. One of the best beauty parlors in town is operated by Helen Mc- Mullen. Her most ardent customer is Aurelia Ham- brick, a young divorcee. jean Kernodle can be found almost any time cheerfully singing Holmes, Sweet Holmes. Mary Thompson and Bob Van Tyle are joint owners of a very exclusive night club at Antioch, Indiana. Vincent Griffen's orches- tra furnishes the music. Attired in gorgeous uni- forms are the two doormen, David Hinkle and Donald Huffer. One of the largest hotels in ln- dianapolis is owned by john Hurless. Lois Hyman serves as hostess. The tea room is managed by Doris Tompkins. Ralph Hayes and Loren Herr, joint owners of a large store in Chicago, employ Mildred lnnis, Mar- tha Ellen lsgrigg, Mary Evelyn jones, and Beulah Anderson as heads of different departments. One of the recent brides was Mildred Baker. She married john DuVall, the great tatoo artist. Belva Fear travels through the country conduct- ing cooking schools. Her two able assistants are Thelma Mattix and Roxie Gallagher. Helen Swafford is matron in a large orphanage. Tom Lanum has joined the navy and, like all the sailors, has a girl in every port. We catch a glimpse of Robert Thayer at Day- tona Beach just as he saves the life of Allie Spietel. Calvin Gwynn, it seems, after a great disap- pointment in love, lives in isolation at the North Pole making toy airplanes for Santa Claus. I. F. Witsman and Lloyd Dunbar are physicists of great reknown. Karl McKinsey and Bill Michner are representing the United States in the Olympic Contests this year in Germany. Vera Beth McKinsey and Betty Russell have organized a matrimonial agency. On the list oi their customers are-but that would be telling, and all their business secrets must be kept con- fidential. lane Sertain and Herbert Smith won this year's square-dance marathon. Ed Wilson and Buren Snyder are living in Little America. It is probably unnecessary to tell you what hap- pened to the Wainscott girls since they were both wearing diamonds long before commencement. SENIOR--Stay, you prophetic speakers, tell me nowg Say from whence you owe this strange in- telligence? Speak I charge you. lWitches vanishl 'fb' fxq Clllr fl I - ' QI-.l'Iu..I l.4DalVY'l -il '

C-Zan JiZi4Ifo'c On a bright sunshiny day in the fall of l93O, one hundred brilliant students entered the por- tals of Frankfort High School. For the first time in the history of the school, an entire freshman class, ours, was REQUIRED to take a course termed Biology, however, due to our unlimited mental capacities we came through with colors flying. As freshmen this class made the annual paper drive the most outstanding one ever launched. During the sophomore year we had the misfortune to lose one of our most popular members, Mary jane Norman, who died january IZ, l933. While juniors the class acted as hosts to the seniors at the most beautiful prom ever given. The function, which had the largest attendance in the history of the school, was held in Howard Hall, the historic gym was decorated in spring garden effect. In March, l934, a most successful St. Patrick's Day party was given by the juniors in the high school library. This year we also selected very handsome junior pins and rings which were soon distributed. ln the lofty position as seniors we went through the paces of the conventional round of acti- vities. A well attended play, Skidding, was presented May I7. A delightfully festive picnic was given at Ideal Beach May 22. Baccalaurette, with Rev. McClure as speaker, was held Sun- day, May 26, in Howard Hall. Class day exercises, innovated last year, were carried out again this year. Howard Hall was the scene of this activity on the afternoon of May 27. With speak- ers from the class, Commencement took place May 28 in Howard Hall. One of the greatest con- tributions of this class to the school was the restoration of the Cauldron to its former high posi- tion. This class innovated the new method of studying social science by the problem method, and direct contact instead of depending entirely upon reading. We divided the four classes finto groups, each group interviewed different officials or social workers and then returned to class and reported to the other members those things which they had discovered. Ours was the first class to pursue a four year high school course under the new administration headed by Principal C. R. Young. Under this plan the old eight period school day was divided into five periods with supervised study. The plan has proved to be very successful and construc- tive. Many individuals from the class of '35 have distingunished themselves in sports, debate, scho- larship, and music. NN fit. 'I 'ii - ,-'! ' --F Q ru lil TIHbfll',l '? s.i7l!li'H- HHHHIL-nl
