We had to edit the Vahia, the literary magazine of the school, to show our dignity in all places at all bincsy to enforce proper respect and decorum from under classmen, and to prepare the Year Book which is truly a remarkable piece of work. Twenty five, with the exception of Richard Fancy who has Scarlet Fever, are now sitting before you to complete the last page of our history. Warren Lundcll

THE CLASS HISTORY Listen my friends and you shall hear Of this senior class that all revere. In ' 34 on an autumn day Twenty five seniors still can say They remember that famous day and year. The component parts of this class of ' 33 are twenty five young men and women, ranging from average to super. Eleven of its parts are handsome and valiant. Fourteen are charming and demure. From its combined height of one hundred and forty-one and a half feet, the class stands over three times the height of Major Edwards High. Its combined girth Is 896 inches. Imagine the sensation it would create going into a clothing store and asking for a belt, size 896. The combined brains of the senior class would approxi- mately fill one hundred and ten tumblers. No wonder that the class could solve any problem. One September morning, forty- two Freshmen entered High School at the Goodale Street School. While warding off the upper classmen, wd had our election of officers. The results were as follows: Robert 0 f Conner, President; Robert Kies sling. Vice President; Winifred Ander- ton. Treasurer; Dorothy Allen, Secretary. The following September there were thirty four warriors left to carry-on with a firm and undaunted heart. The elec- tions were held as usual with the following results: Richard Fancy, President; Francis Kirby, Vice President; Carolyn Nutting, Treasurer; Emily Brown, Secretary. The third year was one of many activities. Twenty- four of the prededing Sophomore class were back for their Junior year and this number was increased to twenty eight with the arrival of four from Boylston. In the fall of the year we had our election which came out as follows: Francis Kirby, President; Richard Fancy, Vice President; Walter Brigham, Treasurer; Ruth Zuroms, Secretary. Ruth loft us In the early fall and we elected Jane Cameron as secretary. December the seventeenth the auditorium was packed to hear the Impatience of Job which was the hit of the season. The following spring we elected a r committee to look over rings. The day of Jubilee arrived when the rings entered Major Edwards High. One September mom, 1937, twenty-seven peppy seniors ap- peared on the scene. The following class officers were elec-

CLASS PROPHECY Rosemary Wood It was a very boring evening and I was at a loss to know just what to do to remedy my ennui. I could have gone to a movie, but such a prospect held no excitement for me. Then, all at once, I knew what I wanted to do. To visit a fortune teller has always been a constant desire of mine. Not that I had much faith in the art but out of curiosity’s sake I decided to try my luck. Upon my arrival at the fortune tell- er’s I was quickly ushered into a small dark room. Before me was seat ed a weird looking woman robed in ..dd colored garments. She must have sensed my uneasiness for she smiled and took my hand. She asked me what I desired to know. Shakily I inquired about my own future. After looking at me for a long time she quietly informed me that it was too vague for her to determine, I wasn’t disappointed, though, be- cause I had rather expected that answer. Then she told me that she might be able to answer other questions. I meditat- ed for a moment and then suddenly the memories of my gradua- tion days came back. Of course, I knew exactly what I want- ed to ask. If this woman was as capable as she claimed, she could tell me the futures of my classmates of Major Edwards High. She told me that I need only give her the names of my classmates, sit quietly and patiently, and she would do the rest. As this didn’t seem too difficult, I consented and submitted their names. The gypsy woman then went into a trance and began utter- ing queer words. Finally she began to speak the king’s Eng- lish again and out popped the name Russ Glynn. It seems that Russ is to continue his favorite pastime of his high school days companionship with Cora Travis as wedding bells will ring for then soon after graduation. Eventually Russ will become a famous executive in a factory for the compounding of an elixir guaranteed to make two hairs grow in place of one on any bald head. It seems as if Cora’s future is signed, sealed, and delivered. Next came the names Kirby and Mooney, Inc. Francis Kirby and Richard Mooney arc going to be the most accomplished hairdressers the United States ever produced. Evidently Dick and A1 will really consider seriously the folders they re- ceived on beauty culture by mistake a few weeks ago. Walt Brigham, the dignified president of our class, is going in for candid camera photography in great style. Well, that kind of profession is all right as long as it’s not carried too far. Walter’s idea probably originated from his experience in amateur photography among the science club boys. Roland Hall will be giving Warren Lundcll quite a bit of competition in the milk business, for you see they both intend to be the great West Boylston milkmen of the future.
