It was an interesting experience. I was greeted by “Saint Pei was really Carvel Phillips in disguise. After much begging and pleading. Carvel permitted me to .join his band of angels. He called his right hand Angel Richard Gill who aided me in flying over the gates as they were locked and the golden key lost by Martha Glenn Flesher, the gate keeper. Tlu Saint Guide Glenn Suddarth, who was conducting sight seeing tours took me through the golden streets where I saw these visions: Nancy Barnard and John Jaco in the Wing Repair Shop having their wings mended after a fall from playing tag in the golden apple tree. Hanson Brown playing “Flow Gently Sweet Afton” on his harp to Evelvn as they sat by a murmuring stream. Jack Donnachie was coming back to get more chalk with which to vriu his sins on the golden steps. Oletta DeMoss and Lena Mae Miller conducting a music studio with four pupils—Everett Allendcr, Ruby White, Charles Flanagan, and Gladys Devers— who were taking lessons on the harp as they were to lead the “ Sweethearts on Parade.” Oh. 1 musn’t forget to tell about passing Brownlie Ramsay and “Dick” Robey as they were bumming their way to Heaven. “Katv” Nye was making a stump speech for a bigger donation for better wings. Carolyn Brown and June King, two old maids were just publishing a book called “How To Get Married.” Murray Bartlett and Kenneth Runner were partners in a soundless blacksmith shop under the laden branches of a stately poplar tree. Wilbur Cornelius Haddix, Reverend of a Holy Roller Church, was teaching the rollers to roll. Velma Gather was director of the celestial choir which was producing in astonishing volumes. “Mother’s Rolled Notes.” Dorothy Hefner and Catherine Marks were consoling one another in their prolonged waiting for the class of MO to arrive. In the “Angel Food Shoppe” we found Hazel Cole as cook and Racheal Bowers as head waitress. “Birdie” Brohard was the “wise-crack” in the Cracker Factory. Leslie Crawford was kept busy taking the rain can out to water the earth. (It was April, you see.) Robert Selvey had the permanent position of holding up the sky-line. “Charlie” Custer and Hubert Hefner were the “Official Star Hangers.” Paul Willis and “Red” Shoemaker were still big athletes. They were keeping in practice by shooting baskets in the Big and Little Dippers John Nuzum, as the man in the moon was being accused of a br ach o etiquette; peeping into private dwellings. Hoy Utz was going so fast in his airplane that he was making ip cream out of the Milky Way. Thus Glen and I completed our tou. of the Ool en Str ■ ? W that all our classmates had not passed tin judgmen iar. i • u e was Billy Cotton, hence we had strong hopes of seeing all the o h r C. B. an 1 R 1929

The year was an uneventful one except for the elaborate fresh man party that we had. Our Sophomore year was of little consequence, or so it seems now as we look back over it. Then came our Junior year. We were upper classmen, and the school began to realize our worth. We were allowed and even urged to take leading parts in all the major activities of the school. And now—We are Seniors; dignified!, experienced?, superior!. Our Hallowe’en party was a “howling” success. The operetta, “The Belle of Barcelona”, would have suffered without our talent; indeed, there have been few projects accomplished without members from our class. This briefly Is our history, but we can say with Shakespeare, that “We are but young in deed.” OUR OFFICERS President, 1925-26 .. Jack Donnachie President, 1928-29....Martha Glenn Fleshcr President, 1926-27 .. Jimmie Stafford Vice President, 1929 .... Brownlie Ramsay President, 1927-28 ... Glen Suddarth Secretary. 1929 ....... Hanson Brown Treasurer, 1929 .................... Evelyn Lucas -1929
