I took advantage of the chance and ,wentg the last thing I saw in the Hall was future present with the predestinatiion of the class of '24 written in bold type.

Upon holding another meeting we selected Pale Green and Pink for our Class Colors, and a Pink American Beauty Rose for our Class Flower. Our meeting closed with the decision of the praiseworthy Class Motto: Deeds, not Words . The Junior Class also took an active part in athletics, especially in base- ball and basket-ball. As there is only one Junior boy, he can alone be rep- resented on both teams, but the remaining class feels dignified to have him hold such a position. From the six Junior girls we have four of them represented on the girls' basket-ball team. To conclude this history, I take the opportunity to remark, all the members of this class have been true to it and struggled this entire year for the Welfare of it, for we still remain the Seven First Juniors of the J. H. S. , on the day I am Writing this as we did on Sept. 13, 1921. Margaret Remaklus. Class Prophecy In the summer of 1940 I sat in the twilight thinking of all my jolly class- mates of '23. They are scattered all over the United States. Edward Billinsky has a little cottage in the West, with a rose garden all about it. Rose is hi-s patient and obedient Wife. She keeps the chickens out of the garden. Lois Buckmaster is a successful business woman. She runs a big clothing department in New Corydon. A Alice Kenney is a quiet and reserved school teacher. She teaches at Jefferson Center which now has the name of being the best school in Indiana. Madeline Robin was preparing for Congress but has changed her mind. She says she has been a gay Robin long enough and has deci-ded to change her name. Margaret Remaklus lives in California. She has the honor of having been proposed to the most times of anyone in the class. Martin proposed to her nineteen times before she would accept him. Anna Fetters is an actress in New York. She has been very successful, and it is rumored that she is soon to wed Fatty Arbuckle, the second. As for myself I have become a great newspaper reporter. I write for the New Corydon Herald.
