june 1931 GWYNNONIA 13 Wlien I had finished reading the paper, I saw Greasy Gruber Shipleyi' in person. He was practicing his singing. joel Levinson, however, appeared on the scene, and was so enraged by Greasy Gruberisn bellowing that he rushed over to 'joe Hill's Shooting Gallery , where he bought a pea shooter. With this he wounded Shipley. From latest reports, however, Greasy Gruber is doing nicely at '!Sidney Krome's Dog Hospital , where he is recuperating. At the end of the block, a Red,' mass meeting was staged under the direction of the two Bol- shevists, Sizzling Seidman and Reeling Rod- man. Come on, comrades, we shall storm the city and change everything, yells Rodman, furiously. Wait! ' commanded Sidney, don't fire until you see the white of my teethf, Gardner, who had been quiet until now, rushed over to Rodman. 'tRemember our last encounter and call your men off. Tell them the meeting is adjourned. Rodman, quivering in terror, followed Oliver's request and then returned to him. Please, Mr. Gardner, may I leavev, he asked, timidly. Bah , said the strong, silent Ollie. At first, however, I could not End Oliver. Nevertheless, I was sure he was nearby. My sup- position was justified, for Oliver Gardner himself was standing in front of a beauty parlor, talking with Anna Papa. I called him and he sadly left Anna and continued down the street with me. I left this scene very much amused at the bully- ing tactics of Oliver. We were coming to an end of our journey now. As we passed an office room in a business concern, I noticed someone with black, horn-rimmed glasses, a pencil over her ear, and a pad in her hand. Upon further scrutiny, I found her to be Eleanor Hissey, who was under disguise as a secretary. We did not leave yet, though it was growing dusky. A sad scene stayed us. Sorrel-topped George Warehime was 'standing on a soap box teaching Christmas carols to a group of unem- ployed men and women. Later a collection was taken up. The collection afterward revealed two collar buttons, a handkerchief, one cent, and a plugged nickel. I had enough. Another day of these activities and I might find Ford or Rockefeller selling ap- ples with an unemployed sign on his cap. I walked into the room where Father Time dwelt. He spoke almost immediately, Your return has been planned. You will set off right away. Everything you have seen and heard is to be a secret. You are not to say one word concerning this trip. I know you won't and that is the main reason I chose you. I trust you have enjoyed yourself. Goodbyf' On my way back to 1930, I felt no vagueness as before. All was just hazy. Suddenly I found myself back in the old attic, my starting place. At Hrst all seemed strange, but at length I regained my composure. Many nights after this have I spent in the attic wondering, brooding. Had all been a dream, or had I really experi- enced everything. I often wondered. CLASS SONG OF 1931 By NORINE OsBoN, 9A1 Our symbol of knowledge, the flag waving high, Will tell each defender that battle is nigh, A war against Ignorance, Folly, and Crime, 'Gainst the dreamers of dreams, the wasters of The knights are our students, the castle our school, Our banner the ideals we hold as our rule, And the Red and Gray pennants that stream from our spears time. Will lead us to vict-ries in on-coming years. C1-ioaus The trumpets of learning A triumph are calling, In the battle for knowledge we wage in our youth. The heralds are singing Defeat for the idlers, The fight is done, the victory's won, for fearless Truth.
