JUNIORS Today we are assembled for the dedication of a bronze tablet in com- memoration of the Junior class of '35. The first outstanding thing the Juniors did was to establish a school newspaper, The Memorial Mirror, with Gordon Martin, president of the class, as its able editor, and Ronnie Hall as literary editor. And then came the big Mirror dance with its gala floor show, and along with this we find the two class dances, and a skating party, all of which were successes. Glancing swiftly over our bronze tablet our wandering eye is attracted to the engraved names of our cheer leaders, Gladys Rose and Helen Keener. Following this under Athletics, we find the following boys: Walker, Atkins, Miller, Whipple, Billington, and Koren, who did nobly in football. Whipple, Miller, and Billington stayed with us through basketball, also. And those grave faced individuals who delivered to us their orations? Yes, they're found here, too. Ronnie Hall, Gordon Martin, Gilbert McLean, Elaine Fields, and James Koren, along with Helen Keener who gave us a reading. Yes, there's the winner of the popularity contest the Juniors sponsored. And who will ever forget the glorious Junior-Senior Prom, with giddy maidens in flounced frocks, and dapper youths in trim new suits. Oh sure, we showed the Seniors a grand time. We are well represented in all the school activities such as: The Mixed Chorus, G. R., Hi-Y, and the Scholarship Club Iona Culbertson, '36 Sixteen

CLASS PROPHECY June 7—Usual doctor's day—calls all inconvenient. Surprise of life- call from west side: Henninge. Hadn't heard that name since Commencement days. Wondered if it could be Caroline. Address was Orphan's Home. Met by director—and if it wasn't Caroline, still taller than I. Didn't know me at first, must have been my glasses. Attended child and we started reminiscing. Didn't seem possible we'd lived in Chicago 4 years and hadn't met. Talked of school days, classmates. Told her Marie Bagguley was a trained nurse and Gladys Seifert working in same hospital. Wouldn't believe Margaret Ward was dietitian. Told her Margaret hadn't killed anybody yet. Said she often heard from Betty Mitchell who is head of Vassar College. Thought of school studies—then history. Adam Febel and Edward Gola teaching in Allegheny College. Remembering History grades, I'd stake they were History profs. Years ago Caroline and I decided we'd take graduation trip. Never did, so we're taking it this summer. Think I can manage it. June 14 Plans coming along fine. Leaving for Washington, D. C, Monday. June 18 Was reading papers and saw result of Supreme Court Justices' confab about International Airlines. Judge Robert Adams held up voting Couldn't believe it. Decided to give him a ring. Had hard time getting him but he finally answered when he learned who it was. Luncheon engagement tomorrow. Imagine—a judge! June 19—Splendid time at lunch. Found lot of old classmates. Allan Brotzman admitted to bar here several years ago. Remember questions he was always popping. And Dorothy Schauer, secretary to President. Guess her attempts at making typing speed back at M. M. H. S. weren't for naught after all. June 20—Dot showed us through Capitol Building and White House Bob took us through Court Building. Leaving in morning by boat for New York. June 22- Strangest thing—met Phil Greene on boat yesterday Caroline not even fazed. He's ornithologist on Smithsonian Institute staff. He met James Fidel in South America last month. Jimmy's civil engineer—working on U. S. project down there. Wonder if he still goes to Roxy Theaters. Also, Esther Lash on boat. She's governess for New York family. Phil said Harold Dunn had his orchestra at Radio City. Going down tomorrow. Hope he remembers me. Russ Ford playing professional baseball here. Still has yearn- ing for parks. June 23—Saw Harold this P.M. Swell orchestra. Going over to Continent in two weeks. June 24—Went into beauty parlor this morning and who should pop up but Ruth Rhodes. Earning good living as beauty culturist. Said there's whole smear of Madison girls here. Adabelle Smith's making good as interior decorator. Mildred Strickler writing advice to lovelorn for Tribune and Ruth Gygli had exhibit in Art Museum last month. Wish had time to look them up but leaving by plane for Cleveland in morning. Way things are going should meet more of class. June 26—Will never forget this trip as long as I live. While waiting for plane yesterday at Roosevelt Field met Ralph Martin, all togged out as pilot. Said Wayne Herrick working there, too. Virginia Dawson working on same line with him as air stewardess. Driving out to Unionville in morning. June 27—Home! Seems so good. Willard Dodge editing Madison Free Press. Told us two Roth sisters were living in Madison. Had double wedding. At last two women found who aren't old maids like Caroline and I. June 28—Edwin Waterman owns garage in Madison. Went down to see if he knew where rest of class was. Hud Whipple, life guard at Euclid Beach. Amelia Newby's writing books for children. Always had way with the creatures. Alfred Czesczkski singing hill-billy songs over southern stations. (Continued on Page Thirty-Seven Fifteen The Can I (Iron

SOPHOMORES 1934 and '35! Oh, memorable year for those assembled here! Olga Poljanic, toastmistress at our greatly anticipated reunion, spoke. It was really quite exciting to get together again and renew old acquaintances. First our officers were introduced, just in case anyone had forgotten who was who. Eleanore V oodworth, still as blonde and modest as ever, president,- June Strock, vice president, had fully recovered from her appendectomy and had appreciated the flowers,- and Barbara Greene, faithful secretary-treasurer, whose office didn't cause much worry. There was the Skating Party of November 23 to relive (not literally, as in our old age we had acquired some much needed dignity). Our class was the first to throw confetti. Remember? Always be original if you can't copy somebody else was our motto. Football, we had seven men in that—Bill Newby received a large letter and six small ones were awarded the other boys. We did well by the basketball team although none received large M's . Of our group, Charlotte Crum represented the Girl Reserves at Columbus Of course there were Sophomores in the Hi-Y, too. Then there are always child prodigies. We had seven who met with other mental geniuses at the Scholarship Banquet. Eleanore Woodworth and Ralph Prouty placed second in English II and General History, respectively, at the tests in Mentor. Our elecutionists were Florence Koren, Esther Klasen, Muriel Bates and John Hutchinson, whose Fire King was not Ed Wynn but two other guys. The vocally inclined had boosted the Mixed Chorus and Robert Miller still found himself unable to dispense with a piano stool. Seventeen The CanIdron Muriel Bates, '37
