A., Lid., Dd., LI. M., Lh. I). Henry Conner, Harvard Professor, hopes to gain an interview with Kermit Davis, vice-president of the United States. Eva Carbine and Jean Courtney are Kermit’s secretaries. Veva White and Dolores Elton are consulting Dorothy Eberhard of the Supreme Court upon the waywardness of their respective families. “Betty Cochran is perhaps the most beautiful of Mack Sennet’s Bathing Beauties; her double, Jennie Dalbow, is subjected to many streaks of temperament. The scene changes: the handsome man’s face is familiar. Of course, it is Irvin Zundel anil his supporting chorus girls: Cornelia Hansen, Margaret Michael- son. Hazel Rector, Gladys Smith, and Mabel Stover. “Robert Sullivan, international actor, makes personal appearance at this time. He is followed by Mildred Spencer, who succumbed to the fad for channel swimming and made the time ten hours. “The performance is nearly broken up by Glenn Patten, Bolshevist leader. However, Leo Waite, a contented farmer, and Samuel Walker, who is a clever civil engineer, quell the mad shoutings of Patten. “Such divine music!

The three girls were back on Rooster Peak, quite thrilled by the thoughts of prominence to be gained in telling of so many persons once known to L. H. S. —Lucille Croioe '27. £$eniat -j.Wm I These four short years, old L. H. S., You’ve been our happy home; Now from these dear and sacred walls Our feet reluctant roam. Each tree, each shrub, each blade of grass That on thy campus grow, Are parts of us—our lives, our souls. For God has willed it so. We came to you as opening buds, Just kissed with childhood’s trust. Each year a petal has unrolled; Progression made it thus. As touch of wind or rain or sun The rose will bless or rust, Our teachers’ love has left its mark Upon the hearts of us. And now we stand with out-stretched arms And feet that know not whence; The river Time goes roaring on; Our lives we must commence. But as we turn to say good-by, From out thy spacious hall, Service and Honor and Loyalty— The things you taught us—call. —Liicile Metcalf.

far '27 ’nriurs One balmy May morning, the Hiking Club started blithely up Booster Peak. Three of the girls, in searching for a spring, became separated from their com- panions. For hours they wandered over the hillside calling the names of their friends. At last they grew tired and to escape the noonday heat crept into a small cave. Upon its floor gleamed a rock of pyramid shape which one girl casually picked up. Immediately came a resounding crash! The hillside fairly shook; darkness swooped upon them; there was a sound as of rushing wind. Then the girls found themselves in a small stone building on a high peak. Confronting them was an aged man who swayed and chanted. Three fascinated girls grew solemn as his words became intelligible. In a deep voice he stated very slowly: “You are very lucky. It was destined that three should uncover the fate of the proud Seniors of the long-past 1927. Ah—let me vision—one moment. The light dawns hut feebly, though through the mists come a golden voice. Yes, it is Kermit Ragain. His tenor successfully soothes the fretful patients at the Grande Ronde Hospital. He is capably aided by Lola McWilliams, the most ef- ficient nurse of her day. Bernetta Kochen.sparger, now a veterinary, is conferring with Margaret Kohl- hepp, the Cattle Queen, on the illness of her pet calf. That clatter! Oh, it is Mary Muilenburg operating her latest invention, a type- writer which spells correctly. Close behind her stands Ann Stangc, racing Ace. Glenn Smith is in conference with Mary, for his quick-delivery scheme has been perfected by mental telepathy. “Lynn Smutz—ah! I see him in South America, having deserted athletics for the quietude of a coffee plantation. With him is Thelma Pickett, taking the chill out of chile, while in the background hovers Harold Smith, who clings to his ancient pipe in preference to picking coffee beans. “What is this? The dignified Marian Wagner, Henry Ford’s chief sales- woman, is taking an evening off. and we find her at a vaudeville. On the stage are Flossie Vedder and Beulah Shroeder doing a tumbling act. They are billed as ‘The Long and Short of it.’ “Alvin Day will live thru the years as a great scientist. Elmer Glenn has at last abandoned his faithful motorcycle. He and George Baker are studying the habits of the angle-worm in Alaska. George Anderson and Jack Durland are ‘seeing America first’ by way of side-door Pullmans. Stella Baker studies advanced typing under Professor John Herr. Bernice Weeks and Lena Campbell teach in Summerville. “Richard Lyman is giving lessons on ‘Being an efficient class president.’ Eldon Hanks and Francis Newlin have published an immortal treatise on the art of basketball. “Bert Hanson and Alice Elder are Deans at the Eastern Oregon Normal. Lola Cantrel bought out Hillard Brown’s drugstore several years ago. Ivy Charleton and Mildred Courtney are Peggy Hopkins Joyce’s rivals as to the number of divorces. Marjorie Walsinger will leave Alaska and follow their example. “Jean Williams, Dorothy Ann Warnick, Eugene Park, and Austin Dunn now compose the Salvation Army Band. “Esther Blokland and Helen Austin are selling radios to the people of London while Violet Hodgson is in Paris designing clothes. “Ben Herr writes subtitles for movies. Alfred Bay designs hats for a French firm, Mildred Jayne paints backdrops for high school plays and Aimee MacGregor is a tourist guide in Yellowstone Park. Mona Gasset owns a cabaret in Montreal. Her headliners are Floyd Berry (whose hair has been dyed raven black) and Lucille Crowe. The apache dance and tango of this couple are envied as well as copied by Golan Eplins. the second Valentino, and his partner, Trillian Ashby. “Fred Swanson is drawing advertisements at $20,000 each. “This place—it must be Lone Pine. And in the huge library are Orville Worsham, head librarian, and his assistant, Charles Wilson. “An airplane sweeps up to the door—it is driven by Joseph Zaugg, who helps William Snodgrass up the stairs. Mr. Snodgrass demands to know why his book ‘Outsheiking Golan Epling’ is not in prominence. “Mildred Hallmark, Y. W. C. A. leader, and Grace Geibel, a returned mis- sionary, try in vain to persuade Zelma Van Leuven to leave her adored peanut stand. “In a tall office building, a serious conference is held. Around a desk are Chester Stalcup, the man who put Pomeroy on the map; Richard Strand, who has retired from his place as Red Grange’s successor; Lois Nelson, the weary editor
