Modesty has more charms than beauty. Glen Hickman S. L. Club. There’s always room for a man with power. shoes with the aid of Ed Xyland, known as “Snooze. ' They’re professors of a certain sort. Practopedics,—now please don’t snort. Slip’s wife was charming Mary Cox; she stays at home and darns the sox. Snooze’s wife is yet to be, altho he’s adopted children three. Polly, who played and all too well, played on the heart strings of Karl Purcell, a Barney Oldfield in his high school days, who now seeks the straighter and narrower ways. Kenneth Xeish and Rollin Shanks joined the boys in the cowpunchin' ranks. Near Fruita town these heroes dwell, spend their time hating women and working like ’ell. The cause of Shanks' discomfiture was; the white lights held a great lure for Helen Higgins, who eloped one day with John Fox, who became so gay as to give dancing lessons to old and young; now his praises all over the world are sung. Kenneth Tolley still carries his gold-headed cane when calling in Aspen in sunshine or rain. Tupper and Ridley forsook Junior girls and sailed off to Greenland on a voyage for pearls. Ruth Hoel and Eva Larson bought them a boat, and for Greenland’s icy mountains they started to float. On the snowy trail they caught their game and an Eskimo preacher (hanged each girl’s name. Happily they dwell in a reindeer tent and all their time in fishing is spent. We all remember Reggie Smith, whose wonderful acting is not a myth. He eloped with the Titian-haired beauty of the Junior class and now their days in acting they pass. Reg frolics upon the speaking stage and his love-making with ladies is quite the rage. Edward McCormick, the lazy dude, whose manners you know were never rude, is an opera star, and his cowboy wails, that he “uster” wail on the Orchard Mesa trails. (harmed Mary By ram, and now they are wed and are still fond of each other, tis said. Wendell Stephens readied the height of his ambition and, without fear of being sent to perdition, is calling out the stations on an Atlantic liner, and his voice every day becomes finer and finer. Edith Fuller, taking a trip to the far. far east, saw Wendell feeling compressed as Fleischmann’s yeast: so she vamped him and they were wedded in Rome, but traveled to Albania and there is their home. Harold House married Leona Diehl, and remarked, “For the South Seas let us steal.” House and his bride, at the ebb of the tide, were stranded on a cannibal isle. They were dined, they were wined in the best heathen style; so they became preachers, the best in the lot, and teach religion to the poor Hottentot. Potter and Campbell formed a bachelors’ club with no women allowed—aye. there is the rub; for Eveyln Roberts and Helen De Groot. feeling quite gay, walked in on those bachelors and lured them away. Now these four own the ’46 Scandal Show; Anna Barry and Gladys Huckstep dance there, you know. Ted Porter said to Amy Ashley, “You must marry me!” Oh. no, Ted, she cried; “that can never be, for Henry Bechtold’s my husband in far Canadee, and another in the States is too many for me.” David Sanders went to Borneo, land of extreme fold. There he and Willie Ell on are digging up gold. If they ever come back, it will l:e in the spring, to see Elsie Lankford vamping and hear Ruth Chee-dle sing. Elizabeth Marshall is a staid old maid, and a staid old maid she’s always stayed: for, after seeking a perfect man, she decided all were like Dapper Dan. Margaret Whitney changed her name to Vannice and dwells in China in a field of rice. Her husband is a mandarin and they have a jinrickshaw to ride in. Jim Dodson became the sheik of Arabv, and after much courting won Irene Beardsley. They dwell in a burg of the sandy Sahara, where Rita and Charlotte weave rugs known as Bokhara. Florence

The Senior Male Quartette leave their freak encores to a “four” capable of reproducing the same for one number for each assembly the coming year. 9.

Helen DeGroot bequeaths her A-pluses in English to Rufus Hirons, provided he will sufficiently appreciate them. 12. David Sanders wills his “pomp” and “profile” to Fred Meserve. 13.

John Fox leaves the sly half of his name to Joe Carstensen. 18. Charlsie Lapham bequeaths her at- tempts at climbing the social ladder to Harriet Moulton with the advice: Don't fall! 19.

Helen Higgins wills her genius at “landing” the boys to Phfllys Ready, her methods for preparing for the dance to Esther Rigg, and her perfect profile to Jeanette Meyers. The Class of ’23 as a whole is made heir to the following: 1. The school property, including views of Grand Mesa and various church towers to be seen therefrom. 2. Monsieur Arms, who will probably by then be able to unlock the universe by means of the energy in a bit of chalk. 3. Miss Ela (tho we dream forever of outlines. the “Prologue” and the “Essay on Addison”), whom we have found to be the best of pals. 4. The curtain in the assembly, whose scenery will prove a diversion till the speaker arrives. 5. As the Seniors of '22 pass out in order, we leave to the Seniors of ’23, whom we hope will pass in order, our much beloved Prof. Hirons. Duly signed and witnessed by CLASS OF 1922. The Seniors in 1945 IN nineteen hundred and twenty-two, with flying colors our class came through. Eighty-one in all, with average high and looks to charm the public eye. The years have passed and left their mark, but nothing phases Henry Stark, who, after finishing Junction school, went to Africa riding a mule. There he digs in the hills for shining gems to furnish Sue with diadems. Ruby Blann’s Ike De Long’s better half, with the same old smile and hearty laugh she had in the days of 22, when she ditched a farmer for Ike (that's true), and in nineteen hundred and twenty-three she sailed with Ike for Afrikee. Virga Stout, the would-be vamp, on Greenwich Village has put her stamp. She’s the artist’s model of Allen Brown, who thru past cubist paintings has won renown. His lovely wife, nee Katherine Green, whose pictures you’ve likely seen on the screen, is a movie star who’s won a name as great as Talmadge and others of fame. Slip McFall is still selling

Her hair is no more sunny than her smile. Bower became a daring circus rider and hooked up with, an acrobat who spied her. Ruth Coffman and Pauline Brown fought a fearful duel over a French count, who was only a fool. Then they made up their quarrel and bought them a house, where they live with their parrot, their dog, ,-cat and mouse. Harold Burgess turned into a civil engineer.

As you see, all the Seniors had famous careers As befit personages of more august years; But each was an exception, some in their wit, What others lacked in wit they made up In grit, And tho they are gone, we’ll not forget the class; It’s the Seniors we’ll toast; let’s fill up the glass: “To the class that’s dear to me and you I toast the Class of ’22. By chemistry, by Cicero, By all the Spanish I don’t know; By pow'der puff, by looking glass; By all the hours I’ve slept in class; By all the movies I have seen; I swear I’ll keep your memory green. Here’s to the class that’s dear to me, Here’s to the old days so carefree, Here’s to the class that’s dear to you, The Senior Class of ’22.” —Ruth Rigg. A Trip to Hades HT the age of 107, the Angel of Death entered my home and prepared me for a journey. She said, “I came to Callaway from earth those souls who have spent their allotted time here.” Coming from Hades, I thought she could tell me of my departed
