19 Slatgutt 27 Zlaistnrp One bright sunny morning in the year of 1923, six intelligent look- ing pupils entered J. H. S. as Freshies. It was the smallest freshman class Judyville had ever had. But in a few weeks one more student was welcomed into our class. We then had the following members: Glen Weaver, Ross McCabe, Florin Troxel, Noel Darding, Keith Thompson, Thelma Baxter, Claude Zenor and Marie Solomon. She, however, quit in a few weeks on account of ill health. We then climbed through safely until the midterm exams then two more of our class mates left us, they were afraid of the exams I guess. But they weren't so bad for we all made good and struggled on until the end when we became Sophomores. The upper classmen did not even recognize us, maybe we were so small they failed to see us. Next fall we came back and were doing fine when Ross decided he wanted to join the army. We sure worked hard that year but weren't we proud when we were invited to the Reception. Again vacation days ended and we were back in J. H. S. as Juniors. Instead of five our number had grown to twelve, Lowell Hensley, Neva Worley, Lorene Heck Marion Willett, Ruth Herndon and Helen Armstrong formerly of W. L. H. S. also Velmer Ashly of Union College, Kentucky. Soon after vacation Florin moved to Lafayette. Our Junior year was one of hard work for we all wished to pass those exams so we could be Seniors. In the fall of 1926 we again met at J. H. S. and eight dignified Sen- iors took their places in the southeast corner of the assembly room. In the early fall Ruth Herndon left us and moved to Gary. Shortly after Gladys quit school. Now there are only six of our class left in our Senior class. In a very short time Commencement will be over and we will be together as a class no more, but wherever our classmates may go we wish them the best of success in life. A cat a day keeps commencement away. Page fourteen

19 jargon 27 Glass ibrupberp Because of dissatisfaction and the longing for fame, Lorene and I wandered to the sight of the Niagara Falls. So well satisfied with the place we secured a position in the Serratoga Hotel, as dish washers, a few weeks later as cooks, and kept progressing until at last owners of the Hotel. Owing to such confining business we were unable to return home, for visits among old friends and especially the old class of '27, This is the year 1943 and this is the selected place for the World's Fair, lonesome for the old class-mates we wrote to them, telling them that we would be overjoyed to reserve our best rooms for them, and have them visit us for the week. We wrote them by their old names, and old addresses. We received word that they would come. On Monday Morning our old Editor-in-Chief, formerly Marian Wil- lett, now Mrs. Elmo Francis and her husband, Elmo, arrived. They were loyal friends back in school days but we always thought it would be Swede A short time later our Senior president, Glen Weaver arrived as hap- py as usual. Shortly after dinner Lowell Hensley and Thelma Baxter came, serene as ever. After 6:00 o'clock luncheon we started our Week's enjoyment. But the chief topic of conversation through out the week was of pranks done at school,,of the time Lowell kicked the mucilage bottle out of the typing room landing at second flight of stairs at Mr. Brewers feet, of the time Glen's expert slyness in passing delicious chocolates in bookkeeping class. Happy were the hours spent together but we were made more happy on Friday morning by the arrival of Mr. Brewer and Mrs. Shand, who were attending the world's fair and learning of our Hotel chanced to visit us, not knowing of the party. They were quickly taken into it to spend the rest of the week with them. We had been greatly surprised to see them but not nearly so as a few hours later a distinguished rather short, heavy set man with dashing red hair and blue eyes appeared with a lovely maiden by his side. It was no one but Mr. Stephenson, who when we were Seniors had come back to school after holidays a new bridegroom, putting an end to many of the girls Tho't Love Affair. They were also made members of the party. New- Women always contra-dict each other. Thelma- They do not. Page fifteen
