SENICJR CLASS PROPHECY 5 As I picked up an edition of the Sheen' Newspaper, these blazoned head-lines met my eye, Young Wayne Wentz Makes New Record in Flight to Asiaf' The name in this cap- tion brought back many familiar memories of school days, and my eye eagerly scanned the paper in hope of finding some other name I knew. Sure enough, there in the right hand corner was this statement, Betty jane Snyder, Con- tralto, Makes Metropolitan Debut in 'Carmenf Playing opposite is another famous voice, George Amickf' I turned the page in order to take a peek at the amusement column and found royal entertainment offered. Cafe Shuman presented Gilbert and Grant, famous dance team, and also the Crooning Crooner, Don Everhart. Other featured stars were the Hi-De-Ho Boys, namely, James Harness, George Olinger and Freddie Hughes, instrumentalists. At the Hay- berger Theatre, Marg Hoffman, john Crouse, Dot Brown and Margaret Scott were play- ing in Edith Fissel's current production, Misses Collegiate-They're the Top. The swank Spangler night club offered the Three Dixie Daughters, comprising two blues vocalists, Dot Stanton and Margaret Thomas, and a Giggly comedian, Dolly Timbers. Tired of reading the paper, I picked up a copy of the Galbraith Gazette, and the first article which met my eye was one written by Professor Jack Cessna, professor of the brain at the Fitzgerald school of nursing. There was an interesting page on music, written by that prominent organist, Lois Kadel. An outstanding novel Not In by Faith Watson, appeared. I next turned on my Bierer radio and the first voice I heard was that of the prominent news commentator, Francis Snyder. After listening a few.minutes I twisted the dial and the sweet strains of the music of Charles Binning and his Singingeers filled the room. But alas this only lasted a few minutes, and the voice of Rodney Sachs, announcer, announced that the programs, sponsored by the Bollinger Cheese Company, over Station B-A-K-E-R. Again the dial was turned and brought the voice of the Rev. Marlin McCleaf, officiating pastor at Orner University. These names were so familiar to me. I had known these people for years. It seemed only yesterday I saw Julia Swisher in high school and yet not two days ago in the newspaper I had seen that she won a medal in typing for a non-stop flight across the keyboard of a Bowser typewriter. I had also seen mentioned the famous girls' orchestra, Toots Eckert and her Tootians, and the victorious basketball team, Captained by Erma Strickhouser. just then a knock sounded on the door and my current events magazine, edited by Bill Waters, was handed to me. The covet announced that John Buck Stahle had been elected governor of Kansas. His worthy opponent had been his friend, Wayne Forma. I was anxious to see if Fred Troxell's artificial pearls had been a scientific success, but there was no news on that subject. I turned to the women's section and saw that the Y. W. C. A. at New York had installed new officers, electing Ruthanna Rothhaupt, as President and Virginia Biesecker as Treasurer. A girl Reserve Conference was also being put into effect, with Mary Elizabeth Eckert as officiating hostess. A few pages on informed me that the Everhart Boy Scouts were outing at Lake Carver. I always like to scan the advertisements and while perusing them I saw that the Ever- harte Cosmetique Company had introduced a new shade of Rachelle powder. Another ad told me to use Griffin shoe polish, and a third informed me that the Hnest coffee and dough- nuts were to be purchased at the Larson Coffee House. V I closed the magazine. I resumed my reveries. Yes, I had had fun in those high school days! Efililli-EEEYEE EZMZTEZI EERE: E453 E2EiEEZilEi1Ei E353-EB'EIi'EilEilX X Xi E X' X X X EEMEB-EEE? X! X EJB!!

JUNIOR CLASS HISTORY Green as Freshmen, riper as Sophomores, and now, as Juniors, we have almost attained that blush of maturity, which, when Seniors, will be ours. Each year as it passes raises our Juniors a step higher in Gettysburg High School history. 1935 has witnessed the election of our class ofhcersg 1935 has seen our class party, which was very successful with decorations of a cunning rustic arbor, which formed an entrance to the dance floor, green shrubbery and ponds of gold-fish bordering the hall, and with white stars penetrating the mass of blue, which was the ceiling with the orchestra encompassed in a veritable evergreen forest, furnishing ritzy rhythm-with the floor show entertaining as to a French skit, a duet tap dance, and a musical monologue-and with unique wood programs, bound by vari-colored chicken rings, and looped with tasseled cord. 1936 has applauded our play, Growing Pains, in which Sara Jane Shelter and Tom Benton portrayed the roles of adolescents aching with growing pains, and jean Culp and Oliver Macpherson, their exasperated parents. 1936 approved the class rings with the num- bers 37 emblazened on their sides. Our contributions to the Maroon and Wlhitef' the orchestra, the band, the amateur dramatic club, the knitting club, the debating club, the Mask and Wig club, and to foot- ball, baseball, basketball, and track complete our record. Judging from past activity the Class of '37 has launched the boat of success.
