AEOLIAN SENIOR CLASS HISTORY It always is the delight of one’s life to think of entering high school. But really entering is another thing altogether. Here in high school the four years, the happiest in one’s life are spent, September, 1919, fifty-one Freshmen entered with greatest eagerness and anticipation. Although, like all Freshmen, we were rather submissive and looked with awe on our fellow students, but soon we gained a place of recognition by our ready co-operation and interest in all school activi¬ ties. One year later, 1920, we again approached the familiar old G. H. S. This time feeling more important because we felt as if we were a neces¬ sary factor there. Although our class was only forty strong we carried on our work to the best of our ability. The Chop Suey Joint which we managed this year at the Christmas Bazaar proved quite a success. 1921 saw us as Juniors— in other words, upper classmen. Our class thru all the years has tried to carry the right spirit thru all its work; that is a spirit of good fellowship and activeness. The great interest of this year, or the goal toward which we strove, was the Junior-Senior Banquet. We wanted to make our banquet one to be remembered by both classes. In order to finance this we gave a benefit show late in April at the Pastime Theatre. Due to the untiring efforts of the editor of the Maroon and Blue and the staff we were able to publish a very good paper. This was the last year the Maroon and Blue was published by the Junior Class. By 1922 our number had dwindled to a few over thirty members—a very small class to graduate on May 17. The class as a whole has been trying to make this our happiest year and one long to be remembered. We have kept the motto, “The elevator to success is not running; take the stairs,” which we selected when we were Freshmen. We changed our colors to scarlet and silver and our class flower to sunburst rose. For three years back our class has been well represented in Athletics, but this year we have been more than proud of our Athletics. The Seniors have all been working in order to make our play, “Bach- ellor Hall,” a great success; better than any ever given and the last to be given by a class graduating from the old G. H. S. building. We, the Class of ’23 now bid farewell to our high school life, which is brightened by many pleasant memories, and we go forth striving to reach higher on the ladder of success. —ELLA TRIMBLE. 21

;£OLIAN SENIOR CLASS PROPHECY In the year nineteen hundred thirty-four, I was musing when came a loud knock at the door; A fine young man, whom you all know, Came for a chat; by the way, it was Norval Withrow. He came to inform me of the news of the day. When I asked how he was, he said he was “O. K.” The first bit of scandal he unfolded to me Was of Miss Thelma Clark’s great brilliancy; In the musical line she has no peer; Likewise John Fulk as an electrical engineer. Since we had started so thoughtlessly We decided we’d just discuss the Class of ’23. There was carol Martin, nee Addington, you know; ‘‘Kenny Martin was the lucky man,” said ‘‘Nonie” Withrow. And say, before I forget, let me tell you the latest, Beb and Gabe have been dancing with the greatest, Attempting to break the endurance record Have been more successful than any, I heard. Of school teachers our class has a right to be proud; Would you believe it (I musn’t say it so loud), There are five most successful and fine. Miss Depew and Miss Trimble in the grades are divine, Miss Breeze and Miss Stewart in High schools take line; While Miss Long, Supt. of Podunk Center, Has earned quite an honor which should be sent her. Norval paused for a moment then asked me, Of the band who played for us so valiently. I told him that now they were quite the stuff, No longer does Kenny, Pipe or Rusty bluff. Kenny, with his specialty, “Kitten On the Keys,” Pipe, the prohibition officer often sees; While Rusty, with the box in one hand and his horn in another Thinks of himself, and of no other. They have a companion, a manager that’s a brick, Of course you all know it’s Willie Haverstick. Yesterday in the Chicago Tribune, was a name, That in this year has attracted great fame. It won’t take much thinking for you to surmise That it was Viola Wagner who won the beauty prize. And while we are talking of the stage and that game, Miss Virginia Bass is quite a leading folly flame. I interrupted Mr. Withrow with a bit of information, Telling him of Cecil Bogear and his enviable station. He is an ideal Santa Claus at Marshall Field And quite an influence in that store he wields. Miss Fern Cook is a prosperous farmer’s wife, And is quite content to be out of the strife. Right next door on a fine estate Lives Thelma Dawson, now a Doctor’s mate. Mr. Withrow then took up the conversation By saying there were other folks of elated station. Both Mr. Elson and Miss Maggie Loomis in Grand Opera excell, Any newspaper of their triumphant success will tell. By the way, I said, I was shopping today, And Orlo Gephart was right in my way. I knew him at once, he said, “Pardon” no more, But I detained him and learned that he now owns a store. 22
