20 THE ALARM 1925 The two charming young ladies who prove to be Janice Rudiger and Gladys 1. Johnson tell of many exciting experiences on foreign shores. They flit about from one group to another renewing old acquaintances. Their male companies also are surrounded by old friends. The one was formerly a teacher and “coach at M. H. S. The other formerly resided at Thomas. Illinois. While everyone else is having a good time Jeannette and Eugene Booth are sitting in the balcony. Eugene, delighted at having full sway for a time offers his hand while he has the chance. He is rejected, but does not take it seriously to heart, evidently, for he immediately asks Janice for the next dance and moves gracefully around the ball room humming, She Told Me She Loved Me, But Oh! How She Lied . Donald King and Arnold Draper carry off the honors of the evening by demonstrating their wonderful ability to sing. Donld's deep bass voice is just a balance for Arnold’s high-pitched tenor. After several encores they bow themselves out. Amid the uproar that follows their disappearance some feminine voice is heard to exclaim, Oh Dear! 1 always knew Donald Harry would be famous some day . While the laughter from this outburst is dying down a tall slender lady and a short fat man enter and with much excitement announce the wedding of Arminnie Sons and Virgil Hurst, which is to occur immediately in a nearby church. Everyone rushes to the church to see the long-looked-for event take place. The tall slender lady sings the customary solo just before the ceremony. We recognize her as being Ruby Van Deusen, although we had never so much as dreamed that she was our little songbird. The wedding takes place just as every other wedding has for centuries. The happy bride and groom leave immediately for the train which is to carry them to a distant port for their honeymoon. The parson who performed the ceremony is Lyle Nelson who had forgotten his antics after leaving school and studied for the Ministry. He settled down now with his bride, a former Freshman at M. H. S. A few days later a letter is received from Egypt where the happy couple are spending their honeymoon. They told of meeting Tracy Peterson who was on a ship bound for the tombs of Egypt on an exploration trip. There at the end of the play, Donald, captivated by Ruby’s charms kidnaps her and takes her to the parsonage where they are married. Tracy changes his mind about going on that exploration trip and appears on the scene claiming Helen Stonewall for his bride. The Short Fat man whom I told you about awhile ago proves to be Arthur Lathrop. He lays his heart at the feet of Ella Adams who has always admired his six feet of sturdy manhood. Judy deserted by all her old admirers marries an underclassman and lives happily ever afterward, declaring that Junior heroes” surpass Senior Shieks .

THE MANLIUS TOWNSHIP HIGH SCHOOL 19 Senior Class Prophecy T HILE VISITING in Southern California in 1930, I determined to visit Hollywood and see how the movies are made. 1 was taken into the studios by a tall fat fellow who I immediately recognized as being Roy Hewitt. He said he had been given the position of guide through Movieland through correspondence with a noted movie director, John Smith. While conversing with him he told me that in a short time the scene would be laid and the greatest picture ever produced would be put upon the screen. It was a portrayal of the lives of the Seniors of '25 in the old M. H. S. building. Two years later I walked into the Palace Theatre in Paris and saw the actual play given by my old classmates. This play proved to me, that, beyond a doubt 1 had graduated with the most brilliant class that ever stepped inside a High School building. Oh!, 1 almost forgot to tell you about the play itself. It was, of coarse, put on under the direction and supervision of John Smith, the noted director. The leading lady was Jeannette Murphy, whom, it was proved was so extremely popular that even the teachers of old M. H. S. waited upon her with the utmost desire of doing her every wish. In the beginning of the play Jeannette had run away, leaving all the country swains crying their eyes out over her disappearance. In an effort to console the boys , Mr. and Mrs. Norman Miller, (Thelma had finally won out in the end) had set up a boarding house called the “Comfort Inn , where each night a party was given. The purpose of these parties was to set off the charms of girls to best advantage with the object of Matrimony. The Belle of the parties was Ella Adams, a sweet girl of seventeen summers. Her curly brown hair and dancing blue eyes are noted everywhere. Mrs. Miller was about to introduce Helen Stonewall and Ila Hartz into the society. Helen was a sweet shy coleen of Ireland while Ila was a titled French woman. Beautiful gowns and costly jewels were much in evidence at the Grand Ball given in honor of their debut. The newspaper rang for months afterward with glowing accounts of their successful entrance into society. Just when things are progressing rapidly Jeannette appears on the scene, much to the amusement of Mrs. Miller. She is garbed in costly silks and treading on air. She takes the city by storm; however her success is but for an hour. Some late guests arrive while she is sitting out with half the boys of M. H. S. She is much disturbed to find that two beautiful creatures have entered the ball room. Their grace and light heartedness, together with their altogether pleasing manners bring them popularity at once. Jeannette, remorseful, jealous, retires to a corner and spends the rest of the evening in a temper.
