Then quoth Merlin, the ancient astrologer, “What is it that you wish in return for your services? What is it that lies closest to your heart? That thing which you most desire in life will I give unto you. Be it gold, jewels, yes, even love—that you shall have.” And the clerk in the cloak of Cardinal, faltering not at the thought of such temptations as were even then making themselves heard, answered calmly, “It is not riches I would have, for of what benefit is gold? It is not jewels, for they speak only of vanity. It is knowledge for which I yearn— knowledge which I must have before I can be content. I pray you, read in yon high stars the destinies of my fellow classmates; tell me what is to be their future, what each one will be doing fifteen years hence. That and that only is my request and prayer.” Said Merlin, “Although this forecasting the future is somewhat outside my line, because you have befriended me, I will break a life-long rule and tell you what you wish to know. Listen, then, while I disclose what only the heavenly bodies and I know.” Uncovering his crystal and making mystic motions. Merlin revealed the awful future tliusly: Page Eighteen

19274 CLASS OFFICERS PR£SI0€W HAKUCLl Ultf-PRCSlOCHT inu-pA wrrrc TRCflSUKCR lltUUD 0PSTA9 THE JANUARY CLASS The last class from 01 1 East has left Marshall’s portals as alumni. No more will the students he privileged to listen to tales of “What we used to do down at East. We are sorry for the classes which are to come. To them East High will he only a myth—dim and far off. We, the class of 1927 j are of the group that left Old East tliree-and-a-half long years ago to come to Marshall. We were freshmen then, hut we out-grew that state before long, and became sophomores. The next year, according to natural sequence, we became juniors. We organized as a class, elected officers, and ordered pins and rings. Various organizations of the school claimed more of our time and talents. Finally Fate decreed us seniors! We plunged into school activities more earnestly than ever; and now we have been represented in every phase of Marshall’s life. Many of our members belong to the Marshall chapter of the National Honor Society, and of this number Pearl Morgan and Arm in Schweppe ranked highest. We have given the football team support in the persons of Phil Brown, John Boldingh, Charles Hutchins, Hugh Morrison, and Sigurd Opstad. We have given to “The Judge several editors. We have delighted the musical world with the two “Harmony Twins, Imilda Witte and Hazel Foster. Our class has been represented in dramatics and in art by Franklin Moon, and in poetry by Franklin Moon and Esther Nelson. Helen Davis’ dancing, Russel Finman’s gymnastic feats, and Esther Nelson’s ability in girls’ athletics have further distinguished the class. Thus, we, the final class from East High, have left Marshall to seek our fortunes and make Marshall proud of us. Page Seventeen
