CLASS HISTORY—Continued to feed the Seniors, we ccmpleted the second year of our high school life which was the “dividing line,” showing us that we were half-way to the goal fcr which we were striving to attain. —Sarah Davis. Junior We entered into this stage of high school life with a superior feeling. The biggest feature in a Junior’s career is the Junior- Senior Banquet. We worked hard to raise the funds for this ban¬ quet in order to entertain the Seniors. We gave the “Mock Min¬ strel” which was a big success. We also held a popularity con¬ test. These, with the regular class dues, furnished sufficient funds to give the banquet. Committees were appointed to take charge of this and it was considered a big success. A chorus was organized in our Junior year to sing for com¬ mencement. This chorus proved to be very helpful and it will probably be used in the years to come. The chorus consisted mostly of Juniors. ❖ :j« ❖ ❖ Senior At last we have reached the class to which we have been looking forward .... our last year of high school. The “Kaleidoscope” staff was organized with Mr. Smith as sponsor. We are trying this year to produce a bigger and better annual. In high school we have learned to take advantage of oppor¬ tunities and we have learned the real value of self-government. We are sad to think of leaving the school, but we are also happy to have completed this course. We owe our success to the de¬ term ination of the pupils and of the faculty. The Senior girls, sponsored by Miss Agnes Bell, organized a sorority—the Beta Sigma Chi. The purpose of this club is to aid the Freshman. We gave a party in February to get them better acquainted. High Junior girls were taken into the club so that the club can be carried on the next year. —Ruth Hood. Page ten

(ElaBB iJPropljnij RINCESS GOTAMI greets you. I come from the far east where tinkling temple bells murmur in the dusky air, and “the sun comes up like thunder out of China ’cross the bay.” It is fate that has reached out and drawn me across the deep waters to search the stars, to probe the most guarded secrets of the Orient, and tell these Hopewell High School graduates what the future holds for them. Lo! I feel a sensation of lassitude stealing over me. I see a man, bowing and smiling, while multitudes shout, “Vote for William Kanak for reelection to the U. S. Senate.” Now a group of laughing girls come into view. Oh, they are those inseparable friends of Fredericksburg College, the Misses Ann Aderholt, Margery Francis, and Florence Garfinkel, home for the holidays and excited over their latest football hero. Still the future discloses the figure of a solitary man stroll¬ ing through the woods. From time to time he stops and ex¬ amines some object on the ground. It is Dr. Donald Whitlock, head of the Biology department of the University of Richmond, gathering material for a lecture. Here comes a famous couple, Stuart Rivenbark and Ruth Hood, the songbirds of radio station XYZ. Now I see two young women coming out of the New Hope- well Civic Library. It is Miss Anthier Sharpe, head librarian, and Helen Talbot, assistant librarian. Another couple is walking down Fifth Avenue in New York City. As they approach I see it is Miss Lillian Alford and Charles Sacra. Just beyond them a huge electric sign flashes “Alford and Sacra, Designing and Interior Decorating.” I see a beautiful flower garden, and among the blossoms a lovely young girl. It is Miss Hazel English. The reason for her radiant smile is the fact that she has just won the title “Miss America” at the Atlantic City Beauty Pageant. The scene fades away, and I see a lone hunter walking down a path with a contented smile on his face. As he approaches we find that he is Torsten Peterson. Now there is a great mist before my eyes. I see with the greatest difficulty a distant land. At last the scene clears and we find ourselves in Europe, in the offices of an internationally Page twelve
