We have spent the Golden Days of our Youth in our school on Main Street. Nine Tenths of us have had Hard Times getting The Right of Way, but we have always fought To the Last Man. Those Hard Timesl' have come especially when we have been trying to pass The Crisis of exams, but when the hnal Reckoning came we have passed. Q Through Unknown ways j. . VVhen Knighthood Wlas in Flower fin other words when we were Freshmenj we decided that the school needed a Vic so we went down The Road of Ideas to iind a way to buy one. The One VVay Out was to earn the money, which we promptly did and presented the Vic on the last day of school. We also gave a party for the High School this year. Next Door four Sophomore Yearj we did our Portion of Labor, for we found that He Who Passed also worked. During our Junior Year we gave the first Carnival of this school. lYe were Prisoners of Hope until that lirst carnival turned out to be a Success We also entertained the Senior Class by a day at Tashmoo and a good time was had by all. The 23's accepted The Legacy of the 22's, and so passed Between Two VVorlds -the Junior and Senior. We were never a Silent Legion as some classes are, because The Whirll' of fun was usually kept going by Certain People of Importance, among us. Many of us, however, have been ardent worshippers of The Fair God of high marks. Now we come to that place where The Trail Dividesf' and with The Wings of Youth we are going t NVith the best wishes of a host of friendsuj to try and put our class VVith the Immortals of this school and of 'l0ur Country.

Dante reincarnated was making a second trip through the Great Beyond for the purpose of obtaining material for another Divine Comedy. VVhile on this trip, he of course went into the great hall where the records of all the people who have lived on the earth are kept, and, as he had previously gone through the Hall of Fame and noticed many names there with Graduate of M. C. H. S., 1923 under them, he decided this would be a good time to look up the records of those people. Previous to about 2000 A. D. this would have been impossible, but in that year Katherine Warwick, who had been an efficiency expert on earth, installed a spirit card indexing system which left nothing to be desired. This system was explained to Dante by Katherine herself. In doing this she showed him the records of Aleda Peterson and Bernice Stark, who gained great fame for themselves by settling in a series of debates that world important question, VVhen is a Doughnut Whole? These debates were preserved for posterity in book form by the Normal Mitchell Pub. Co., at 31.75 per copy. As Katherine had been of the class of 1923, she was able to give Dante a great deal of information not in the records concerning its members, and the following brief account of them is taken largely from what she told. When Dante found that writing poetry did not pay, he turned his epic, the Divine Comedy, into a comedy of that name to be a successor of the Follies Consequently he was interested in actors, so first looked up the card entitled Ingram, Harry. From this he learned that Harry had been one of the world's greatest actors. He was so moved by admiration that he resolved that when producing his Divine Comedy of 300l, he would try to find a leading man most nearly like the immortal Ingram. Among the things thata Dante noticed while scanning Mr. Ingram's card was that he had gained his fame in the Folkerts circuit of theaters, owned and operated by Hazel Folkerts. Hazel had started life as a dancer but had risen to a position as high in the show world as that of P. T. Barnum, Another person who had gained fame and fortune in the theatrical world was Arthur Zimmermann, who was known while in the dancing profession as Rubegolf Vaseleno. Shortly after he found these interesting facts, Dante was driven from his investigation by what he took to be the approach of a hurricane or the end of the world, but was able to take up his work again when told that the disturbance was only the weekly practice of the Ouellette Heavenly Harp Orchestra. Before returning to Earth, Dante had an opportunity to see this orchestra and came away greatly impressed by Violet's angelic bearing and the beauty of her wings. Pagr' Twenty-tlz1'ee
