 CThe Alarm Prophecy of the Sophomore Class THE SOPHOMORE CLASS not only has talent, but some very good scholars. It is my only hope that they show their appreciation to their teachers and parents or guardians by using it to the best extent of which they are capable. Imagine for a while that this is 1928, time for graduation of the Seniors, and that you are now looking at a record of that class. Oliver Alpaugh has given us much music by the way of a cornet. He has taken up various school activities, and has gone out for some athletics. Cecil Caudy has made a good record not only for herself, but for her class. She has taken an interest in her school work from the very beginning. William Dabler is an excellent orator. If you do not believe me, look at his picture taken when he was a Freshman. He is fond of humor, but has not shown it in his school work. Eunice Draper shows a great improvement since she came into our school as a Freshman. She has spent her summer vacations staying at a city hotel. Milton Edlefson decided since he was a Sophomore to give up the ukulele and tennis in order to make improvements on his trombone playing. He has accomplished a great deal since 1924. Lila Hartz has proved a studious class mate. She has taken part in various activities and promoted the life of our class. Ruth Hagan is a musician and has proved faithful in our Literary meetings. She is also a good speaker. Harry Jensen has broken but one heart. Miss Mitchell’s. He had a bad name, but he was really harmless. Helped to promote athletics. Walter Jensen, like his brother, has promoted athletics. He couldn't sprint but he could heave the shot. Mazie Monson is a musician, and industrious. She has helped to make our class a success. She has aided in Literary meetings by music, singing, and speaking. Doris Peterson has a wide range in the field of music. She also has aided in making our literary programs pleasings, by the use of various musical instruments, and singing and speaking as well. She has proved very capable in her school work. Opal Pierson is industrious, but bashful. She has done well in high school, but could have done better. In the habit of making things humorous —especially in English class. Darlene Souser has great talent as a singer. During her four years of high school she has sung many times. The results are, We would like to hear her sing again. Page Thirty-one

Cfhe Alarm Ruth Styer would have liked to have finished her school career in Bureau Township, but since it was inconvenient for her, she finished here. She is a good singer and speaker. Ella Swan likes to read books. She has made great success as a printer. Has probably written books, but is keeping them from the public as a secret. What I did not tell you was for them to tell you. What they do not tell you, we leave to YOUR imagination. —G. E. A. HELL (N) O. Garage Owner (answering phone)—“Hello, White Front Garage. Mr. Anderson—“Hello. Is my driver there Garage Owner— What? What driver? Mr. Anderson— Screw driver. When 1 was but sixteen or so, 1 entered the High School band. I practised on my saxophone. That I might play with a learned hand. The rooster crowed, the dog did howl And the donkey began to bray. 1 continued to practise on the saxophone And the family went away. The neighbors got tired of noise and confusion They left their homes and began to roam Where peace and quiet prevailed— And I was left alone. WORK. If you are poor—Work. If you are rich—continue to Work. If you are burdened with seemingly unfair responsibilities—Work. If you are happy—keep right on Working. If disappointments come—Work. When faith falters and reason fails—Work. When dreams are shattered and Work seems dead—Work. No matter what ails you—Work. Work is the greatest remedy available. Work will cure both mental and physical afflictions. Father— What’s the hardest thing you learned at high school? Russel— Blowing smoke rings, Dad.” Page Thirty-two
