THE COMMENT, 1934 1934 Class History It is only natural that We should look back over our three eventful years at K. H. S. Casting our glances behind us, we are appalled by the majestic splendor of the scenes that have been depicted. Our career in the Keokuk Senior High School began in September, 1931. As soon as We became accustomed to the general rules and rooms of the building, We elected these oflicers, who guided us safely through the year: President a,va,, aa,a,aa was Frederick Ferguson Vice-president a- aa,a aaaa, - .- Le Roy Lofton Secretary aaaa ..aa 7 me Arlene Banghart Treasurer ,. o, -S some ,. Hubert Bisping Faculty Advisor Saeed, S, , o .. ...S Mr. Hayden We closed our sophomore year with a class picnic in Rand Park and a dance in the gymnasium. As juniors we started back to school in the fall of 1932, and our circle of activities broadened. We saw champion football and basketball teams. The class officers who were in charge of the most outstanding event of the year, the Junior-Senior Prom, which was very successful, Were: President ac- S.. aa,a S, , Harold Schwartz Vice-president twat, at .. ea-.

THE COMMENT, 1934 Class Prophecy At present I find myself in rather a difficult situation. In some way my nephew overheard a remark I made about a certain dream I had the other night. Apparently it was very amusing, for he insisted that I tell the whole dream to him. Not having the time then, I promised to write it out and send it to him. It might be of interest to you also, so look over my shoulder while I read it. Dear Nephew: This is my dream, and queer though it may seem, the greater part of it is true. One could scarcely call it a dream since common parlance names such a thing a nightmare. CUsually caused by pie was the opinion when I was a child., All of the individuals whom I saw were classmates of mine in the year 1934. From what I saw in my dream, I suppose that these friends of mine really are doing many of these strange things. This is what happens in my dream. Virginia Ancell is touring the country as pitcher on the VVomen's Champion Baseball Team. She has made quite a name for herself by swats. Keith Atterberg is pulling teeth, according to the dream, because he has found a marvelous, new-fangled tooth grower which he demonstrates free of charge if you can afford a trip to Afghani- stan. Helen Anderson is happily married to a famous physician and living in the summer resort of Waylaiid, Missouri. She took a nurses' training course once, I've heard. Dorothy Blaisdell has become a successful cornet instructor in New York City. She teaches in the summer, and her pupils recuperate in the winter. Apparently Bub Brinker is a retail coal dealer just like his pap, Rosemary Barnes has become an excellent swimmer. I believe she at- tempted to conquer the waves of the Atlantic a short time ago. Hubert Bisping is president of a huge chain milk-shake concern. Dorothy Barthol- omew is still boosting the Ford business. She drives the wrecker. Hubert Bierman is now chem. prof. in Warsaw University. We all knew that Hubert had a future. Arlene Banghart has acquired success also as an opera singer. She is featured at the Regent Theatre, Keokuk, Iowa, every Saturday afternoon. Virginia Boone now ekes out her pennies managing chain stores, especially 5 and 10's. Bob Barnes seems to be on a farm just out from the big city of San- dusky. He sells New Wonder Sardine Can Openers to citizens of Gal- land suburbs. Harley Davis is moving to Farmington. All he is taking with him is a Hoor lamp and a coaster wagon. His intimate friends say that the only two 'things that Harley likes to do is read and go coasting. He has gotten rather childish since his 70th birthday. Alfred Beaty is now sales-manager of the Beaty's Best soap firm. Mary Bower is speaking twice daily over the radio on the nationls debate topic: History Should Be More Up-To-Date. Tom Bender is now a rummy on the Summitville football squad, however, he still has his old TWENTY-TWO
