the Mayor was to be the first on shore we were held back. A large car drew up to the edge of the water. We observed two very fine-looking young ladies in the back seat. The Mayor greeted one of the ladies with a kiss, who, to our great astonish- ment was Marjorie Lockwood, of J, H. S., none other than the Mayor's wife. Up- on the second look we saw Myrtle Christner writing down notes on the various hap- penings going on there. We later learned that she was the chief reporter on The New York Daily Times. We were certainly happy to have met all of our pals of the Senior Class of 35. After all Life is only a dream. MILDRED STUTZMAN and THELDON SHORT. Senior Trip On April 18th, 1935, a bright-eyed group of Seniors started on a day's journey to Michigan City and Chicago, The first stop brought us to the Indiana State Prison at Michigan City, While waiting for a guard to take us through the prison, quite a number got a thrill out of seeing a large cockroach go scuttling across the floor. Going through the prison we saw many interesting sights. One of the boys had the pleasure of sitting in the electric chair and coming out alive. After our visit to the prison we continued on to Chicago. We first visited the Chicago University Buildings, also the Chapel and Oriental Institute, all of which were found to be well worth our tinie. From there we went down town for lunch, after which we went out to Fields Museum and Shedd Aquarium. We would liked to have stayed there longer but our time would not permit it. Back down town again we were free to do anything we wished until 6:00 0- clock. Some rode the elevator, some the escalators and others shopped around. At six everyone met in front of the Chicago Theater. We saw Private Worlds , a picture based on an Insane Hospital. Everybody was ready for dinner about 9:00 P. M. As all good things must come to an end, we went back to our bus, after din- ner, and from there journeyed back home, tired but happy. We arrived home early Friday morning, April 19th, safe and sleepy. Page 17

tClass Propl.ecy, continuedb By this time it was noon so we sat down to eat our lunch, All of a sudden we noticed a man ascend a wild grapevine and began swinging from it. Watching him more closely we observed that it was the Honorable Junior Trump, our grand teacher, sponsor and principal of days gone by. Upon making inquiry we were told that he was filming a picture, as he was the new director of the Paris Studio. After he was through directing We engaged in a lengthy conversation, and asked him a- bout some of our classmates. He told us of seeing Christobel Hamilton, a few days before, out airing her family. After bidding him goodbye, we continued on our way. Our next stop was in a small village on the Amazon, by the name of Lehua. There were several small shops on the one and only street. VVe entered one which happened to be specializing in grass skirts for tourists to take with them back to the States. Much to our surprize, a model stepped forward who happened to be Lois Fissgus. The day now drawing to a close we retired to the one and only hotel for the night. The sun was in the sky early the next morning, so We had breakfast at a small place near our lodge. A tall, facinating, young waitress neared our table, and asked, Will it be 'am and haggs, or bacon and haggs, Sir? Upon hearing the voice we glanced up in amazement and saw that it was Blanche Holclread. She informed us that there was a Circus a short way from there. Having some extra time to spare, we walked the short distance to the place. The best performance was the famous bareback rider, which was no other than Lucille Brown. It Was getting late in the season and we had been gone so long we took the next boat leaving for New York City, Upon going aboard we settled down for a long journey. The sea was unusually calm and a warm sun beat upon us. About 2:00 o'clock in the afternoon, the usual time fora luncheon, a stewardess was mak- ing her rounds. Drawing nearer we both seemed to recognize her, and so we did. It was the one, and only one, Celesta Evans of our school days. We were in her company frequently throughout the trip. She told us that her schoolmate, Irma Garver was manager in a sugar factory in Cuba. We were to dock at Havama, so upon arrival there we hired a car and chauffer and drove to the office of the So- Sweet Sugar factory for the sole purpose of seeing her. We told her of our trip and of meeting our old friends of I. H. S. She Was living in Havana, no, she wasn't married. She was living up to her old prophecy of being an old maid. Bidding her farewell we again joined our boat. The return journey from there on was just as enjoyable as the first. New York City came into sight, Our ship was to be one which carried the mayor of the city. There was a great reception at the dock. The gangplank was lowered. As Page 16
