Let ' s sit down on ihese stones and study this map. Elizabeth. It says that we should go up there — and then o er there, and then down here. Pauline. Well, that ' s what we did and we didn ' t find anything. Clock. Nevermore! Nevermore! Nevermore! Nate. What ' s that? (Reads) Made in G. H. S. in 1928. Elizabeth. (Walks toward the other clock): There ' s another one! Im- ported 1938 . Velma. Here is an hour glass. Vhy it ' s about time to turn it over — all the sand has sifted down. Pauline. I ' ll bet this is the place. Virginia. I told you — Elizabeth. Say, see how slowly these pendulums are swinging: ' I believe it ' s about the hour for Father Time to return — if this is his favorite haunt. Nate. I think he ' d be angry to find us here. Let ' s hide and wait. (All hide in silence. Father Time enters, turns hour glass, starts away, then looks at the calendar) Pauline. Begging your pardon, sir, I hope we ' re not intruding. Hut ou see we were, truthfully speaking, looking for Father Time. Ha e we found him? Can you be he? ( Father Time nods ) Elizabeth. We came to remind you that this year another class is graduating; and that this being the day to wind our clocks, we came to offer our assistance and if possible to ask a favor. Velma. The clocks ! They go more slowly and more slo ly. world will come to a standstill. (Father Time moves toward the clocks) Nate. Stop, sir. Please may I wind the clocks for you ? Father Time. It is unusual for this duty to be performed by any hand but mine; yet under the circiunstances I herewith place the keys in your hand. .Always wind this one first, and the future one next. Elizabeth. It is indeed commendable that the time of the world should be so well regulated. We are indebted to you. Vould ou grant us a portion of your time in which to present a petition ? (Father Time nods) Elizabeth. We, the Class of ' 28, about to pass out of existence, beg that you prolong our years in G. H. S. in order that we may longer enjoy the opportunities afforded by this institution of learning. Father Time. The clocks have already been wound. However, there is one concession which I am at liberty to grant, and that is to extend an invitation to your class to return here next year for an alumni reunion. But first I must know what your class has done to deserve such a privilege. Virginia. We have nothing but a record of our activities which we have pre- pared to give at the last gathering of our class this evening at the foot of this mountain. Page Twenty-Seven If they stop, the

%e Crim50n William. The school colors are Crimson and White and should be sacred in the minds of both the students and facult ' , and not used for so many different purposes. Leon. In my mind there are three ways the Crimson is misused: unexcused slips, L ' s , and flunk cards. And the results of these are beautifully mounted on the misused white, the color of the grade card. Charles. What good is this grumbling doing us anyway? Let ' s cut it out. William. Practice what you preach, Charley; but who ' s having a good time at this old party? I didn ' t even like what they had to eat, and besides that I had a date, and she wasn ' t hungry. Leon. Well, I didn ' t think this party was so bad. We, at least, got a ride out. Charles. Well, whose horse ou going to ride back? William. Do you remember what Mr. (jerig ' s boy friend, Aristotle, used to say? Leon. Sure, you mean: All things that men care for they remember. Charles. Well, you haven ' t forgotten there are three seats waiting for us back here. All. AVell, that ' s at least something we get for nothing. Let ' j take them. William Bradford Leon Summy Charles Noble History irginia. Well, I believe that the legend was purely m ' th. Elizabeth. Perhaps we have merely misconstrued the meaning. You tell it again, Pauline. Paidine. Well, we have all heard this many times. It is supposed that some place in this vast mountain r ange there exists a fairy grotto. Note. Well, what ' s that? Paidine. A cavern like apartment. To continue — from this abode Father Time, aided b - two little sprites, is thought to control the time of the world. This is accom- plished with the help of two huge clocks, an hour glass, and a calendar. Didn ' t the tradition say that the clocks were ound only once a year on the day that a class gathers for the last time at Commencement? [All nod] Velma. In this place anything might happen. Elizabeth. Oh, let ' s rest and then join the other seniors. It surely is nearly dinner time. V irginia. Oh, no! Didn ' t we just see dawn passing down the path. Nate. We have already wasted too much time. As for me, I am anxious to find Father Time and help wind those clocks. Pauline. So am I ! Remember, we seniors have been div ided into several groups and sent in various directions to hunt the same place. If we get there first we ' ll have the honor of giving the bugle call to summon the remainder of the class. Velma. Well, let ' s go up to that peak. I believe there is a surprise waiting for us there. It may be the fairy grotto! Elizabeth. All right. Let ' s go. Virginia. Oh! How useless! (Exit) Page Twenty-Six

- • v-. - Tf)e Ckim50n Father Time. I am al a s interested in graduating classes and would be ery much pleased to learn what your class has done. Nate. When, in 1924, we entered G. H. S. we found to om- satisfaction vhat Miss Wahl had been chosen as our class sponsor. Pauline. We immediately elected Mr. Robert Weaver to assist Miss V ■lhl in supervising our activities. Elizabeth. As student leaders we chose Herbert Reith, president ; Dale Pefifley, vice-president; AVilliam Bradford, secretary; Charles Noble, treasurer; Olen Hart and Donald (lill, rergeants-at-arms. X ' irginia. Under their direction our freshman year was very successful, ending with a big party in the gym in the form of a track meet. Nate. Remember, we had four teams — the Simps, Hicks, Imps, and Runts. Pauline. Yes, I remember. I was a member of the Runts; but it was tlie Hicks, captained by Elizabeth Whitehead, who won the loving cup for high score in the contest. V ' elma. And such a loving cup! A battered, aluminum, drink ing mug, whicli they regarded as a long-lost treasure. Virginia. But remember this: they weren ' t the only ones who got something at that party. The next week, we all had the measles and school was closed for the month of April because of a rcarlet fever epidemic. Elizabeth. Regardlers of the haughty stares and sarcastic remarks of the upper- classmen, we held our place on the honor roll and athletic field. Velma. In our second year when we were still young and inexperienced, Ir. Weaver found it necessary to leave. Mr. Schenck readily ada|ited himself to his re;ponsibility as sponsor. Elizabeth. Thirteen of our boys v on numerals for class football, and the girls organized a basketball team. Pauline. We had Nate Warstler, Donald Gill and Dale Peffley on the varsity football i:eam too. And they sure made a Hash. Nate. These bright lights were discovered and made luminous by the co-0|iera- tion of the cLt ' s inembers and their different officers; namely, president, Julian Guil- liom ; vice-president. Dale Peffley; secretary, [anet Riley; treasurer, ' illiam Brad- ford ; rergeants-at-arms, Mary Cjetz and Don Gill. Virginia. In the beginning of our third year, being no longer underclassmen, we drew the attention of all by our ability in various fields. Our first exhbitioii of this charnctenrtic was the proud display of our class emblems — pins 3r rings, as we preferred. Nate. We then put on the first junior play ever to be given at (j. H. S., : ub- stituting it for the trrditional junior carnival of former years. This was A Friend Indeed, directed ly Mirs Edna Agar and presented by the following cast: Merle Peffley, Gerald Miller, Francis Koerner, Frank Ridenoure, Olga Buerstrom, George Snoke, Ellen.or Parker, Julian Guilliom, Edgar Baxter, and Bernetha Hoke.

Dainty Valentine refreshments were served. Pauline. Our next project vas the election of the Crimson staff in April. The results were: editor, Elizabeth Whitehead; associates, Robert Bloss and Virginia Stuart; turiness manager, Frank Ridenoure; assistants, Cieorge Snoke and Herbert Twenty-eight
