Swartz had decided not to come back to school, and Gerald and Clay had been away at camp so were late in returning for school. The Seniors met them at the station and took them to the ‘‘beanery’’ to drink. They were weleomed back in true Senior style(?), and soon became accustomed to the routine of school life. At our first class meeting we elected these officers: Nedra Funk, President, Beryl Matheny, Vice-President, Fleta Huston, Secretary and Treasurer,- and Mr. Cross, Class Adviser. We knew that this was our last year in M. C. H. $. and we decided to make the most of it. ‘‘Joe’’ was made Cap- tain of the football eleven and ‘‘Jerry’’ was a star in all the football and basketball games. Nedra Funk entertained the Seniors at a Hallowe’en Party. We believe all will remember the ride down the hard road. Nothing more exciting happened until the New Year’s Watch Party, which was held at the home of Lula Daggett. Several of the Seniors made resolutions to work harder the second semester, but judging from the grades they were not carried out. After the Senior Play, Junior-Senior Banquet, Class Day, Baccalaureate, and Commencement we shall leave M. C. H. 8S. to become people of the world. TITHTITT INTL OL Class Poem Nedra Funk Now listen, my children, and you shall hear Not of his horse—nor of Paul Revere, Not of the tower—nor of the light But of a class that’s just all right. Together we’ve spent many a happy day, But now our feet are about to stray In different paths along life’s way. Some will gain wealth—others fame, And some will win for themselves a name. But wherever they go, or wherever they stray May the Lord bless and guide them alway. Now of this class I said you should hear So here goes— Sweet Marie—with her cheerful smile Craves single blessedness just for awhile. ‘ Snoodles’’? says he never could dance That whenever he tries, his feet go in a trance, But he takes lots of girlies in Cooper’s shop Where they ‘Dine’ on chili, hot-doggies, and pop. Big Babe Matheny—front name Beryl] Says he doesn’t want ‘‘any ole girl’’, They cost too much—so when for soda they sigh He grins and winks the other eye. Adams, called Russell, is a big tender brother, He fell for a girl, she fell for another. John Rolofson, our show man, so tall, slim, and good Has decided to go West, way out to Hollywood. He says he’ll take Don to draw scenes for pictures. I bet they'll be good—regular Dukes’ mixtures. Then Shon, our railroader, is always busy; If we tried to keep up with him, we’d all be dizzy. A udrey Ann Price Says a teacher eck e, For she loves the kiddies and the kiddies love she. Methinks I see Fleta with her last beau, sg Where? In my minds eye Horatio.’? TIT LL TITTLE ‘Gerald the nifty,’’ the girls like him so, Longs to be President, of what? I don’t know; But if it’s the National bank, U.S. or sand, We feel and know that he’s the right man. Paul Thomas came to us with his secret N- . Krom reports, our boys think it’s the password to heaven. Mary Belle has her hair bobbed, so they told me to-day ; Are we all in style now? Well, [ should say. And now dear comrades and pals of mine, I trust that I may always find Friends as faithful, jolly, and true. I know I shall, and so will you. CLASS SONG By Marie Lyons Commencement Day is here And Seniors are not sad. We greet our graduation With hearts and voices glad. Chorus: So FAlail! all ye Seniors, Commencement Day is here. So Hail! all ve Seniors Join in the happy cheer. We gather here to bid you all A hearty glad goodbye. Our work is just beginning To do our best, we’ll try. We'll cherish, Alma Mater, The memories of you.

GC. H. S. It was a terrible day— “Cold and dark and dreary, It rained and the wind was never weary. The vines still clung to the moldering wall, But at every gust the dead leaves would fall. My heart was cold and dark and dreary, It ached and the wind was never weary. My hopes were of the by-gone past But the hopes of my youth were still in the blast.”’ I picked out that volume of Poe’s works. It had been neglected for years, for I had never forgotten the night mares that book had given me when a Senior. _ The book fell open to ‘‘The Pit and the Pendulum.” It had been years since I had read that. I was surprised to find I really enjoyed it. I read on and on deeply engrossed and evidently did not hear the knock, for it came this time with a crash and a threat. | hastily dropped the book.

But the crow is a noble fellow ‘‘becaws’’ it never shows a | white feather nor complains without ‘‘caws”’, so I refrained from al act so impolite. The Raven flew direetly to an old bust of Poe over the door and perched there. I spoke to the bird and he answered, “T have come to warn you of your future, of the disaster awaiting Ye Al eur life you’ve been a pleasure seeker.

A few years ago he published a vol- ume of ‘‘Class Room Etiquette’? from which the famous and inspir- ing quotation— And above all, keep up your self conceit and your behef in the students divine iolit to stall’—is taken. rruption. ‘‘John Rolofson has also become widely known. Winning on a Farm Labor ticket, he was made Governor of Tllinois. Later, after shifting his polities, Tie had become a member of tne United States Senate. There he framed a bill for the annexation of the North Pole. Mis reasoning is very logical, for he thinks we might be able to colleet incomne tax from Santa Claas? Next he metioned Fleta. Quoth the Raven, ‘‘She is ‘Dar- win’s Pride. After a few years of further study, atte opened a musie studio in the Fiji Islands, and is doing’ wonderfil Work charming and sung the natives. | ‘‘Nedra has become the author of a new dictionary. After some years of study at Columbia, she excluded herself from society until she finished the volume. It is of great value. We owe her much. Her success was marked from the time she rushed up to you and exclaimed, ‘Oh, I’ve just discovered the guameflopper is siafisticated.’ fg | The Raven continued. ‘‘Look at Clay Dine. He will be in the millionaire class before long. At present he is working on a contraption to reclaim face powder. A great invention for those dating the flappers! At present he is residing at the Saint Recluse Inn at Chattanooga. Shon Bowden, after a few years, succeeded Professor Cross as Physics instructor. He was very competent. Latley ey, he decided to go to Kurope to visit the International Bureau of Weights and Measures at Sevres, France. The liner, fired on by the hostile Jap- anese, was sunk, but Crandall and his arate were rescued by a pass- ing vessel. He still remains in F rance, and doubtlessly will become a great Physicist.’’ me The Raven cleared his throat and vena on. ‘Although Rus- sell Adams has had a hard course in life, he has now risen to fame through the discovery of a perpetual motion machine.

And Jerry (I had almost for- eotten him) makes pilgrimages each year to Camp Gray, and lives ‘over the summer spent there in nineteen twenty four. His life is not altogether one of bliss, however, for the inevitable had come. “She? had cheated him out of his happiness. A young doctor had eome and in a whirl wind courtship had carried her off.
