of that particular yellow journal which publishes the cynical poems of Edith Pay- ton. All these famous personages are listening attentively to the words of Ken- neth Thompson, Ph. I)., M. 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! It is Lucille Metcalf, famous ‘lady baritone,’ accom- panied by Wayman Scott, the inventor of a totally different mute for a cornet. “Worthy Seniors were all these.” Crash! 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.

QLInss The Valley of High School has four great hills. It takes a year to climb each one—and at the top of each, there awaits a certain reward; while extending farther ahead, there looms the next hill steep- but withal, holding fascination for coming students. On the third hill of this valley, stands a group of smiling students. At the head, bearing the banner “JUNIOR CLASS,” stands the president .Marion Crowe; beside him staunch and true, always ready in time of need, is the vice-president Sylvia Malone, who ruled as president during Marion’s stay in California. Edna Gekeler bears the secretary’s book, and nearby are the livewires, Marjorie Rey- nolds and Richard deist. These five successfully led approximately eighty Jun- iors up the mighty hill whose height they are now on—but only with the splendid help of the sponsors—Mrs. Hays, Miss Lee, and Mr. Thomas. Behind the group, rising tall and firm in the valley they have just left, stand the monuments to the successes of the passing Juniors. Tall is the monument bearing the record of the Junior stunt, with pictures of Tom Bruce as the far- mer, Marion Crowe as the tiger team, and Harold Herr as the Baker hoodoo. This monument bears the additional sign “Second Place,” showing the merit of the Junior stunt. Another monument bears the title “Captain Applejack” and how the chests swell, as the band on the hill remembers that monument, and views with pride Captain Applejack (Marion Crowe), Poppy Faire (Edna Gekeler), Aunt Agatha (Marjorie Reynolds), Anna Valeska (Bertha Bant .), Ivan Borolsky (Vernal Shoemaker) and several other distinguished actors. Still another monu- ment bears the account of the Junior Tea. Held during the absence of the presi- dent, it proved to be after all a big success for many of the talented ones per- formed for the mothers present. Athletics had small representation from the Juniors- but the Juniors arc proud of those whose names are there. Wilfred Stoddard and Elwin McCorkle proved their abilities as basketball tossers, while Tom Bruce received t’’e election of Captain for the 1928 Football squad. Edward Buchanan and Marion Crowe also took part in the football world. In girls’ basketball, Peggy Gragg, Marjorie Reynolds, Phyllis Ansell and Bertha Bantz won honors. The Junior band headed by their officers, are standing on the hill of their accomplishments. They are looking ahead to the one year remaining for them in I.. H. S. and strong within them is the determination to make that year their best in scholarship, activities, and school spirit. —Doris Humes, '28. (29)
