During these golden years our life has passed serenely, happily. and it seems only fitting that we should commemorate through the medium of this little book, the joys, the ambitions and the success that have been ours. ' Now, as reluctantly we turn our backs on our Alma Mater and stand gazing into the mystic realm of the days to come, We only ask that this un- discovered future will- Grant us the will to fashion as we feel, Grant us the strength to labor as we knowg ' Grant us the purpose, ribbed and edged with steel, To strike the blow. Knowledge we ask not-knowledge thou hast lent: But Lord the will-there lies our bitter need. Give us to build above the deep intent, The deed, the deed. ..... -..Egg f BEAX --.-.11- .......,, - ,,. , . . . . . , ,..,.,,ff L N xxxm. ,. ,,,..,L.,,,,, Y, , -,.,,N . ... -..J , ...W . .. - ., ,Maxx -A V xp. , , , A M ..-W , .. .

' ,g 5 . .M ,. Q THE SCHOOL IN THE MAKING With the beginning of the school year 1924 and 1925 the building pro'- gram of the Greenfield Public Schools will be practically completed. At that time the high school pupils for the first time will have access to the excellent facilities and superior features of the new vocational building-the second magnificent gift of Mr. E. L. McClain. Included in the features are: a swim- ming pool 75 by Z5 feet, a cafeteria large enough to accommodate our school population, forge rooms, wood working shop, agricultural laboratories and lecture rooms, commercial department, printing shop, mechanical drawing room and art room. The use of this new plant will necessitate many changes and rearrange- ments in the original McClain High School building. The gymnasium will be enlarged to accommodate more spectators: the study hall will be transformed into a library reading room: while a music room and biological laboratory will replace the wood working shop. Not less significant than these alterations in and additions to our school plant, will be the changes and innovations in the organization and adminis- tration of a considerable part of all school work, both curricular and extra- curricular. The two buildings will house all pupils above the sixth grade and will, when completed, compare favorably with any high school plant in America, both as regards beauty and facilities. 8 QE 2, 1' F,,,,,.,,,,.-..,., ....- .,... --- ---W .... -.-----,-......,.--., E.- -M - f--.

And we will how the holy boughs To make us level rows of oars, And We will set our shining prows For strange and unadvertured shores. 15124 CLASS POEM This is the day of our triumph The troubles and cares of the past years Fade like a dream from our memory As graduation appears. Long we have labored and waited For just such a moment as this: Long we have struggled for victory To have gained it--what wonderful bliss. Time in its flight touched us lightly. Years passed along as a day. We realized dimly and vaguely Its swiftness in passing away. To us it seems just a short time Since we were just starting to school, And trying with childish endeavor To work and conform to the rule. The road from our infancy upward Has varied as all pathways do: It wasn't all smoothness or roughness But mixed with both, all the way through. And though there were 'times for despairing And times for exceeding great joy: And though there were things to encourage. And things seeming bound to array: We made our way steadily upward, For victory cometh at last. And so toiling onward and upward Into the High School we passed. There in one class all united, With well defined purpose in mind. We studied our various courses Our own special calling to find, And while there are those who have found it, And those undecided as yet: Wherever their life-work shall lead them, Their school life they'l1 never forget. And when they are far from the portals Of that school to them once so dear. They will think of the joys it has 'brought them A wealth of friends and good cheer. They will ponder events that have happened, Remember each scene with a smile: Remember each step as they took it. Live it over again all the While. But brightest of all the glories, Stands out the one day alone: When proudly victorious and happy, A High School diploma we own. We leave the old High School forever And out on life's highway we go: To battle for future achievements, 'Mid financial rain, wind and snow. But now it's good-bye to the High School, Who's sheltered us these four long years: ' 'Tis not without sorrow we leave it, Although we may shed no tears. When health and success shall have crowned us And time in its swiftness shall fly, Our thoughts shall perchance flutter backward, To the time when we told it good-bye. -EVA WALN'24 XX JUNIOR GIRLS JUNIOR BOYS QE X X., x.-- .... ,,, f SOPHOMURE GIRLS A SOPHOMORE BOYS If X f Xu, ff FRESHMAN GIRLS FRESHMAN BOYS 4,14 QW: Rf 'Sm 5 f TQ Q Jf C7 W 4 I 1 f Q M 2 F I ag...-L. .1 6 , QI, MM 1923--1924 DOUBLE Football and Basket Ball ROY MOSSBARGER FRANK SITTERLE CYRIL PORTER EUGENE PEARCE JOHN GLAZE MORRIS O'DELL RUSSELL IRVINE JOSEPH EDMONSON HONORARY DOUBLE M RICHARD NORTON SINGLE M Football ENNIS SLAGLE RAYMOND BLAZER ARCHIE VANDERVORT GERALD DAVIS MAURICE ANDERSON LEE ROY GREEN ERVIN RITTER MANAGERS M ROBERT GOSSETT - Football GERALD DAVIS - Basket Ball Let me take off my hat to the warriors who strode To victory splendid and high.

Duke is first, last and all the time a fighter. However, he never allows his aggressiveness to dominate to such an extent that fair play and good sports- manship are casr aside. Though he loves victory and encourages his teams to resort to every legitimate move to triumph, yet he ever insists that victory at the price of unfair tactics is undesirable.

The necessary land has, through the generosity of Mr. E. L. McClain, been provided. Adjacent to the Vocational Building, the site is ideal, both as regards location and topography. For a sum considerably less than the cost of the lots this block can be transformed into an athletic field comparable in excellence with the rest of the plant. The appeal has been made to the citizens of Greenfield to raise a fund sufficient to equip this play ground and athletic held. The amount proposed is insignificant when compared with the great gifts already bestowed by Mr. McClain. Failure on the part of the citizens of Greenfield to respond to this appeal will be equivalent to a confession of a lack of interest in their most import- ant asset-the public schools-and an unwillingness to co-operate with their generous friend and benefactor. But we have faith-we are confident that our citizenship will not fail: that the funds will be raised and our dream of a school, beautiful as it is complete, will at last be realized. And if I should win. let it be by the code. Wz'th my failh and my honor held high: And if I should lose, let me stand by the road Ana' cheer as the winners go by!

For several years, our paper has ranked among the first in school publi- cations, and it is especially gratifying to the Journalism Class to feel that, although an entirely new institution in the school curriculum and backed by no previous journalistic experience, they have been able to maintain the high standard of the DRAGON. me X!

OUR FUTURE SCHOOL PLANT THE NEW NORMAL SCHOOL With the beginning of the school year 1924-'25, the new Highland County Normal School will open. This school has been established by High- land County Board of Education in co-operation with the Greenfield Board. With splendidly equipped quarters in the new elementary building, with library facilities that are well nigh unexcelled, having access to an elementary school system organized to meet the demands of modern education, the stu- dents in this new normal school will be ideally located to equip themselves for the profession of teaching. Furthermore, these students will have access to all of the splendid facilities of the new Greenfield school plant, considered by many the most complete in the United States. In the organization of extra-class room activities they will be encouraged to utilize all special features as the athletic Held, gymnasium, music room, and swimming pool. ew LHSS DHY 7 h is ,Y -I Y fff x X fd wr ' 7 1 - ' ww-1 W .L,,, COMMENCEMENT EVENTS Senior Class Play, Seventeen -March 28th.

E. . .WALLACE FISHER Q PRESIDENTS ADDRESS Friends and Fellow Students: The class of 1924 extends to you a most cordial welcome to the class day exercises. This day is our day, and we are to have the privilege of having a few last words before we leave our beloved High School. We are met here to recall events of the past, and foretell those of the future, but as none of us are real prophets, we can only determine what our futures may be from our High School life. But I wish to say that I earnestly desire that each classmate may reach the goal for which he has been striving through these school years. We have had wonderful opportunities in a wonderful High School, and it is now up to us to push on, not to be contented with what we have gained, but deter- mined to make a place in the world worthy of the ideals of McClain High School. As a class, we are leaving our High School life forever, and it is with a feeling of sadness that this thought comes to us. We are sorry to leave, and we almost envy you who are coming back next year, and the years you have before you. But we have come to the parting of the ways, and before we leavetwe wish to express to you, our teachers, parents and friends, our sincere grati- tude for the assistance and influence which you have given us, and which has made it possible for us to reach our goal. We realize that it is to you that we owe the honors which our class has undoubtedly Won, and we are deeply grateful. Again I wish to welcome you, and leave with you our heartiest Wishes for future success and happiness. WELDON LOUGH, President, Class of '24, ...MQ HISTORY OF THE CLASS OF '24 Friends, classmates, listeners, Lend me your ears. We come not to prophesy, but to Give history. All classes have history: some classes have histronics, but in reviewing the past four stages of our evolution Within the walls of this institution of learning, we End that our class has been unique in that we have had hysterics when exposed to the mysteries of two-period tests and Senior orations. For a few moments travel with me back through the dark, dark ages to that memorable time when we first embarked on the sea of learning. There are only fifteen left of the members of that first class in the old Central Build- ing who timidly raised jam-covered hands in response to roll-call. It would be impossible to recognize among that group of wild-eyed, innocent adven- turers in the school room regime, the following sophisticated, worldly seniors: Mary Harris, Doris Caldwell, Lillian Brown, Ruth Smith, Vivian Little, Francis Reis, Ted Waterman, Esther Kelso, Helen McCormick, Ina Haven Moore, Alice Gray, Richard Norton, Pat Shrock, Raymond Blazer, and the giver of this production. , These first eight years were rather uneventful and monotonous, but our tranquility was shattered into a thousand pieces when we were initiated into the much-to-be-desired realm, McClain High. As Freshmen we were ideal. Truly, it seems that every year in every way, Freshmen are getting greener and greener, and we found ourselves not above the average. Many of the boys were enrolled in the Cadets, and had great expecta- tions of becoming army officers, but their hopes were shattered by the an- nouncement that this worthy body was to be no more. This year passed all too quickly, and we found ourselves on the second rung of the ladder that leads to a diploma. We were fully represented in the Student Senate in this second year. Fortune smiled on several and they were admitted into literary societies. On others, however, she laughed out loud when they went straggling to that little stage, where they delivered productions with such flights of eloquence that would have made old Cicero weep, and great Demosthenes tremble in his sandals. , After succumbing through one more year, we climbed another rung and found ourselves Juniors. In this eventful year, we recognized the need of officers, and at a class meeting elected the following: President,Weldon Lough: Vice President, Lillian Brown, and Secretary-Treasurer, Russell Irvine. We decided on Black and Gold for class colors, and the Black-Eyed Susan for our representative flower. We now thought ourselves important enough to be adorned with a piece of jewelry, so we selected our class rings, and to borrow Mr. Harris's famous phrase, we might say that, Never before in the history of the school have our rings been equaled in beauty. GE Next came, in our minds, the ideal of social functions, the Junior Re- ception, and except for an elongated member of our class hitting his cranium on a chandelier a pleasant time was had by all, as the DRAGON would say. The next fall we found ourselves back in the old corridors where we had spent so many long days. We now occupied the enviable position of Seniors. When we Walked down the corridors it was indeed pleasant to have an awe-stricken under-classmate gaze at us as if we were gods and goddesses of Grecian mythology. In this memorable year, the long-feared and most dreaded activity was staring us in the face. It was the Senior orations. Some were fol- lowed by prolonged and tumultuous applause, while others were followed by hilarious and gleeful laughter. Notwithstanding the fact, however, all ac- quitted themselves creditably. We now find ourselves hearing the iinis of our eventful school career. In reviewing the past we have found ourselves to be fully represented in the school activities. There are eight entitled to wear the much coveted M. The ones entitled to wear the single M are: Archie Vandervort, Raymond Blazer and Irwin Ritter: the double M: Maurice Anderson and Russell Irvineg the triple M: Joseph Edmonson, and the Manager's M: Robert Gossett. Richard Norton is entitled to wear the Honorary Double M. The giver of this pro- duction is entitled to wear the Scholarship M. The roll book of the National Honor Society shows that we are repre- sented in that organization by the following members of our class: Minette Grove, Alice Gray, Lillian Brown, Russell Irvine, Charles Staub, Weldon Lough, Pat Shrock, Ethel Cherryhomes, and the giver of this history. This concludes our history as a class, but it does not seem long since we first gathered at McClain High. The four years of toil, the four years of life, perhaps the biggest four years we will ever know, are now at an end. We now stand on the threshold of the future. That future is ours to make or to mar. Let none of us mar it, but show our respect to the ones, because of whose efforts we are able to be here today by striving for and achieving worth-while success. We have made our last recitations, sung our last songs in chapel, fulfilled our last obligation, and are now to meet the biggest task of all-Life. A new life is before us, with its paths yet untraveled, No one knows where they lead us or how they lie: There's a bridge between us and the future, The old life is behind us, for we've passed and said good-bye. -ALICE LOUISE CONNOR. -ROBERT GossETT.

Upon Wilma Johnson, who we understand is a devoted reader of the Photoplay magazine, we give the degree P. F.-Photoplay Fiend. To Helen McCormick we give the degree B.. H. F.-Bobbed Hair Flapper. To Vivian Little we give the following degree, in recognition of her position as center on the girls' basket ball team for three years, O. B. B. C.- Our Basket Ball Center. To Ruth Smith and Esther Kelso we give the degree A. L.-Always Late. To Mildred Koons we give the degree S. H.-Seldom Heard. Upon Ervin Ritter we bestow the following degree, P. O. C.-Pride of the Clodhoppers. And last, but not least, to our esteemed class president, Weldon Lough, we give the degree C. A.-Collar Ad. ALICE GRAY. CAREY PARIS. QE THE CLASS KNOCKER We know you are all just a little breathless as to the outcome of this, THE CLASS KNOCKER, for none knows what bad traits of character it may reveal. But, we feel that you should heed these knocks and reform before you are out in this wide, wide world. Our honorable president, Weldon Lough, seems to have too much pride to carry out properly his position of people's servant, which we have in Civics, is the true function of the highest executive office. Lillian Brown, our vice president, who in our own personal mock elec- tion carried 79 of the 100 precincts for Class Tomboy and the peppiest girl. Brownie is always on hand when there is work to be done for which she can get her name or picture in the paper. Francis Reis says, that a woman must have amiability, as every man detests a grouch. We advise her, however. not to be equally amiableon all occasions, as a woman with a constant giggle is montonous. We are very sorry to state that Minette Grove, after leaving M. H. S. and her boarding place on 'LaFayette will have to give up her beauty sleep hours- 6:45 p. m. to 7:45 a. m. We can only think of one thing that could possibly have kept a brilliant young chap like Paul Cameron in high school for five years-LATE HOURS. Perhaps, one of our most perfect brunnettes is Esther Kelso. She has a wistful look and despite her unsmiling mouth she carries an optimistic grin in her widely innocent brown eyes. Child-naturalness is dominant in Ina Haven Moore. She is the unbeliev- able combination of gamin and angel. We have asked Peg Porter to explain her few and far between secrets of vamping the men, but she fails to respond. Wonder why? Elmo Rowe is beyond a doubt our class vamp. Coming over from Lees- burg, Elmo has been the official heart smasher. But, no wonder! Such won- derful hair and eyes and his great stature. Maurice Anderson-Refer to Miss Crawford. ' Doris Caldwell is our class typist who can write 100 words per second. We believe that a new typewriter will have to be invented that will be regu- lated for more speed. Dorothy Dixon, deciding that bobbed hair was getting to be too com- mon, purchased a hair net and is once more going to be an old-fashioned country girl. o ,J f I f A! Y VL., , ,.,.,..,..-. Richard Norton is our most bashful boy. We believe, however, that Dick will be successful, as this is leap year. Helen McCormick could always be found in room 34 on time, minus ten minutes. Probably Helen stood in front of the mirror too long powdering her nose. We shall have to admit that here are two ideals-Vivian Little and Iva Lee Johnson. They speak only when spoken to, which is an unusual trait among Seniors. Next comes our class sissy, William Haines. William has a slow, pleas- ing manner, and how many girls have yearned in vain for his glances we may never know. Berlyle Cameron, who hails from Centerfield, represents our class as being a notorious heart breaker. Berlyle won this oflice with his handsome face and graceful walk. Margaret Blain is making preparations to settle down in Leesburg, where she will keep house for the owner of the Barrett Garage. Mary Puckett's dignity has increased in the last year of her high school life, as she came into the possession of a Buick roadster. Alice Gray is a dear girl. Quiet? Yes! Also sweet. But this latter quality is recognized only by the King Fisher. We are very fortunate in having in the class of 1924 a talking ma- chine, Virginia Reed, the kind that never runs down, especially in short- hand class. V .. . Ronald Haines and Clifford Hudson are not farmers: they have adopt- ed the name of agriculturists 'when speaking of their.profession. . Joe Edmonson. Joe has lately become hopeless daft over the girls. Judging from the number and variety of dates that he has been landing. Cary Faris, king of all singers. If you don't know what we mean, just consider him well knocked. The appeal of the eternal feminine is in Eva Waln's faintest smile and her every gesture is a thing of latent poetry. ,L.,,.. . Estella Burnett hails from Martinsburg. Estel1a's mind is occupied with happy thoughts of settling down as an old-fashioned wife to some wonder- ul man. e Next we introduce our class blusher, Mary Harris. That's all right, Mary. It won't be necessary for you to use rouge which is familiar to most of the girls in the Senior class. 1'0 . .f ' . ,K fl N.. we 21,3 . F .. - ,J fX , Pat Shrock, the long boy, may make a Latin professor some day, but we bet that he gets side-tracked. ' I Don Stroble is another of the country lads from over near that famous city of New Petersburg. We never did quite understand this bird. ' Archie Vendervoort finally succeeded in introducing a Lyceum speaker without forgetting. Personally, we think that Archie should have been intro- duced himself. , We are very fortunate, however. in having in our class an Old Maids' Society. Those having this honor are as follows: Doris Mossbarger, Alice Louise Conner, and Ruth Smith. ' That indehnable attribute, magnetism, is found in Ethel Cherryhomes and Reba Lyle, 'the smart, fashionable, finished girls. Ted Waterman is our great musician. He says its classical, but if so, lt IS too classical for our comprehension. lrcel Knedler captured in our mock election the coveted office of our Class Sheik. Vlallace Fisher. We wonder if Wallace's abilitv on a violin will help him sell musical instruments when he inherits the Music Store. Thelma Keefer. When with Thelma a man believes he is the only one in the universe to her at that moment, or at least, this is what we have been told. Yes, Marie Myers is of a quiet nature and also shy, but nevertheless. she knows the art of minding her own business better than any other member of the class of 1924. Dorothea Carter possesses both good qualities and otherwise. The great failing of the latter is her inability to keep from talking, especially about Sunday night dates. Lewis Kerns. from Fruitdale, is figuring on a political career. We wish him the best of luck in the coming election. Lewis is running for mayor of Fruitdale. Raymond Blazer must be the height of perfection, as we can't think of a think to knock him about. Irvin Ritter, by his slow loving nature and captivating manners, sure does find favor with the gentle sex. We don't quite understand his success. Margaret Towne is to tour the country this summer with her lecture on How to Vamp the Men. Margaret has wonderful oratorical power and we wish her great success. QE fa... :Fm --. f- .1-1-, '-'ww Hg if Mary Winegar is our star student in geometry. We think Mary should be a geometry teacher in the future. How she is able to fathom its mysteries is more than we know. We greatly mourn Wilma Johnson's fate-she is wearing a diamond. In other words, she is engaged. But Wilma will prove a good cook, judging from the pies that she baked for the Senior Sale. I . Lowell Dunlap is tall, comparatively good looking and has a Star sedan. We wonder why he doesn't step out. He must be bashful. Mildred Koons, although she is our class infant, is often seen but never heard. The. Cooper brothers are the quietest boys in class. Bob Gossett, the red-headed wonder, won the tri-county championship in the game of loafing. We mourn Jackie Irvin's fate. He's flopped again-she's a Sophomore. Alluring, is the word that best fits Louise Kline. She is the quintessence of femininity-always reserved. We feel that more members of our class would have passed through the vigil of the last days of school with less nervous strain if they would have followed the example of study set forth by Ailen Stewart. Emerson Harris. In speaking of those who take advantage of school opportunities, Emerson Harris deserves to be mentioned. At last, dear classmastes, we cease our knocking Please remember, we have performed our duty with malice toward none. EVELYN MONTGOMERY. CHARLES STAUB. QE , TT ,Q H . 'l'ffI1'ff.....NXXff 7 if f ' ' CLASS PROPHECY Time in its course plays many tricks to us mortals--it brings us joys, sorrows, and helps blot out the unpleasant things of the past. But as I was wandering through the old ruins in Greece where Aristotle used to teach the Greek scholars of his time, I thought of my old graduating class of '24, and how the course of time had scattered them far and near. It had been ten years since we were together and as I looked back on my old school days a longing came over me-perhaps you might call it home-sickness-to see the old pals whom I graduatedwith. It was during my Mediterranean cruise last winter that I happened to stroll into one of the most famous temples built to Apollo, at Delphi, in Greece. My curiosity was aroused by an old priestess whose duty' it was to tell the people who came there the answers which the gods gave to their questions. Placing herself on a seat over a crack in the earth, out of which curled a thin stream of gas of a peculiar odor-somewhat of the nature of incense. Breathing this, a trance came upon her, during which she was supposed, according to legend, to answer divinely your question. I thought what an ideal opportunity to learn something of my old school day pals. At first only a mumbling and incoherent muttering came from this oracle, but soon I caught the familiar name of Margaret Towne. Do you want to hear what she said? Margaret Towne. with her charming ways and beguiling looks, has en- snared at last the heart of none other than the son of a prominent family. Yes, and he is wealthy, too! I seem to see the pearly gates-angels playing on lyres-no the harps. Mexico, cactus, and a big yellow moon. To the wailing strains of a concertina and the aroma af garlic and chili-con-carni, stands a young tore- ador, gazing in rapture to a lattice casement. The profile looks familiar, as also the oft repeated chorus of: Nita, Juanita, Let me linger by thy side. Nita, Juanita, Be my own fair bride. Ircel Knedler? Why, of course. The Boss of Tammany Hall-buying votes down on the East Side and Ghetto of New York! Ring leader of the gang, booming and thundering as of yore, stands the fear-inspiring, awe-incurring, Weldon Lough. Memories of that famous election of 1923. Just a Love Nest Down on the Farm. Roses climbing 'round the cottage door, notes of a violin, that old fa- miliar song-what is the title?-of course, My Alice Blue Gown. Wallace and his wife are spending the summer in rest and laziness after his extended concert tour as first violinst of Keener's Symphony Orchestra. A career blighted, a future dimmed, for the sake of a mere man. Dor- othy Dixon, like many other prima donna, meekly answered with a nod Hfor better or for worse, in health or sickness, till death do us part. X ,?A.,,,,,,t. .,..., .fe L-t:f1 Orange blossoms and smiles? No, not a wedding: just the memory of a nickname of our old football star, Joe Edmonson-tackling a bigger job now. Coaching? Yes: not a squad of scrubs, but a team in the rough nevertheless. Watch for next winter's bill of the Ziegfield Follies. Mac Sennet refuses to allow her to sign a contract with Douglas-Pickford Producing Co. Let one of his best beauties and most successful vamps go? Never! Peggy Porter, with her big blue eyes shall go right on vamping- just as she did back in old McClain. A rather unusual scene seems to come before the oracle-very distinct. She describes for me a dimly lighted court room, stuffy with stale cigar smoke, sleepy-eyed plain clothes men lounging on benches-the judge himself, gruff and brief-as the prisoners are filed by. In a corner, writing, yet intent as each character files by, sits a newspaper woman of a most interesting countenance, very quiet for one so well known as she. Her human interest stories and wonderful insight into life's problems has won for her an enviable place on New York's largest newspaper. Surely, you have guessed it was Alice Louise Connor. The oracle seemed to cease and the interesting facts she told me only in- cited my curiosity to find out what has happened to the rest of the class, so I have spent some time trying to learn their whereabouts, and this is all I have been able to bring to you today. The latest developments of the big law suit? I've not read the morning edition of the Hollywood Tattler, but consensus of opinion-and you know movie fans have a great influence-all seem to favor Elmo Rowe. Poor Rudolph Valentino-his day of reigning popularity is now over-he must step aside for a younger and more handsome hero. Don't ever marry a doctor, girls! He is never home a single night: we never have meals on time: we never can go anywhere, advises Lillian Brown in her old decisive way. Of course my elocution pupils fill some of my time, but the days drag without 'Doc.' The Cooper brothers have made a name for themselves in Petersburg. Cecil is chief of the fire department, and between these two boys they cer- tainly make that old town hum. You would never recognize Estella Burnett-she is the only person who has the ability to direct Greenlield's continuous flow of traffic, and is a fascinat- ing figure in her trim uniform, standing on F. L. lVlack's sign in the public square manipulating the lever in the traliic booth. Maurice Anderson has been a rather hard person to keep track of these past years. First engineering a street carnival-oiling the ferris wheel-then raising seedless pumpkins, and now, I believe, he is only person shingling blondes at 39 cents per head. Mary Puckett is perhaps the lirst one of the class to actually carry out her share of the Class Prophecy read that memorable rainy afternoon of May, 1924, for she was married the following month to Mr. Cowman. Cary, with his radical ideas, has created a stir in literary circles. He has recently written a book on the Modern Woman and How She Has Upset the Universe. Cary has not outgrown the old idea that the women should be treated like those of the Stone Age-and he just can't understand the modern flapper. Raymond Blazer-we wonder where he is today? Shanghai or Singa- pore? He is midshipman on the battleship Pennsylvania, and the nice part of it is he can have a girl in every port and get away with it. Perhaps you have noticed recently that account of a remarkably suc- cessful operation performed at Johns-Hopkins--the patient being none other than our classmate, Berlyle Cameron. It seems enough nails, screws, pins, etc., were removed from his stomach to start a hardware store. The program of McClain's Lyceum Course for the next year, 1935, sent to me recently, disclosed the interesting fact that one of the graduates of '24, Margaret Blain, is to appear as one number, lecturing on the Radio of Intelli- gence Among Farmers' Wives. I understand from various newspaper reports that Lowell Dunlap, due to his wide research in this particular field and the advantages of his native home, is hailed as the Luther Burbank of insect kingdom. His knowledge of the erstwhile fish Warm is stupendous. Ethel Cherryhomes is making a collection of keys-but not cellar keys. She has won a Phi.BatacKappa key, the scholarship fraternity, and has proven to be the star student of the class. She also holds the key to a certain man's heart, we understand. Dropping into the oiiices of the president of the Standard Oil Company with a friend a few weeks ago I was met at the door of the private ofiice by a short attractive person-with such a familiar face. I had only to hear her say, Please be seated, Mr. -l- will see you in just one moment. Then I recognized Doris Caldwell, now private secretary to such an august person. The Queen of Hearts, she made some hearts, all on a summer's day -- so the fairy story goes. But I know of a real queen of one heart who makes not only tarts, but luscious lemon pies and big dark cakes for an Ace of Hearts. Minette, we wonder if you still have the same old wonderful smiles as you roll out the crust. Each time I pick up the Saturday Evening Post or Vogue magazines, Hrst thing I find myself turning to that whole page advertisement of Mulsified Cocoanut Oil Shampoo, done in beautiful colors by Coles Phillips, because it is such a beautiful picture of one of my classmates-Iva Lee Johnson, who is now posing exclusively for this famous artist. And each time I find the wave and lustre of her hair just as beautiful as it used to be. The schedule of next year's 1935 Faculty for McClain announces Mary Harris, Reba Lyle and Ruth Smith are also listed on the Faculty. Aren't we proud of 1924 and her representation in the old Hall of Learning? Passing through Washington C. H., I stopped to shop a moment at Craig's and found myself standing by Wilma Johnson and Mildred Koons, both married and living near one another. They urged me to come out to dinner, but not wanting to offend either, I promised to come back later. I was searching for a birthday gift last month for a friend who loves poetry. Asking the girl at a book shop for a collection of late poems--she placed in my hands such an attractive little volume called April Afternoons and can you guess whom the author was? Right you are-Eva Waln. I was invited to such an attractive luncheon last week and my hostess was so secretive about the place-telling us she had a delightful surprise, and indeed it was one-when I found myself in a lovely tea room, all orange parrots and purple plums, and there smiling and gay as ever stood Louise Kline. Such a reunion as we had, and such a success as she has made with her tea room. Have you noticed the picture section of the June number of the Cosmo- politan? You know, those lovely actresses' pictures: and the first one I came to was Esther Kelso, her dark eyes darker than ever, and that wonderful bob in the same big waves. She is playing in George White's Scandals, You may not recognize her at first-she is quite a bit thinner. Already mothers of young graduates are worrying about school for next winter. I overheard one say that she had certainly decided on Hall-in-the- Pines, not far from Philadelphia, because of the splendid dean of girls: she felt so safe and confident that her daughter would be in bed at 9:00 every evening: no dates, and such a dignified atmosphere. I inquired who had built up such a reputation and found out she was a Mrs. Winston, who before her marriage and divorce was Virginia Reed. You remember what a harum- scarum person she was in school? Vivian Little has been traveling in the West-I understand preparatory to building a home out there. You know, of course, that her husband died and left her quite wealthy. Thelma Keefer has launched forth as owner of the Powder Puff at Chillicothe. This attractive beauty shop has been so well patronized by Greenfield that Thelma has more than she can do. That is a beautiful new home where the old livery stable used to be on Washington Street. Mrs. Charles Staub, who was Evelyn Montgomery before her marriage, has drawn up most of the plans herself. Her husband now runs that large printing plant which was the old Republican. The head of the Commercial Department at McClain, who has been ill for so long, has given up her position: but only this noon I overheard at Bradly's that the new substitute is to be Francis Reis. She is so very suc- cessful at turning out typists she has been urged to take charge of that depart- ment next year. Ohl I forgot to tell you about Aileen Stewart. Such an interesting cir- cular came from the Booker T. Washington School down South, and there was Aileen's name among the faculty. Can't you just see the systematic, successful teacher she is? Who says a woman can't compete with a man in business? Marie Myers has been so successful in her Milk Depot that they have moved from Wash- ington Street, you know. White's Dairy is closing down, I understand, be- cause she has a monopoly of the trade. I have tried everywhere to find out for you about some of the boys of our old class. Doubtless you know of Russell Irvine's success as the Manual Training teacher at McClain. The boys were so successful under such a teacher that they drew up plans and have started building the football stadium in spare moments as a class project, I believe. 'Frederick Vvfaterman has been traveling in Germany-partly to study, some say-others say, to recuperate from the long study necessary to obtain his Masters Degree from the Schuster-Martin School in Dramatic Coaching. Archie-I wonder what happened to him? Oh! I believe I did hear rumors of his pecan farm in Louisiana. Bradly's have made a special arrange- ment with him for prices-and he always supplies the nuts at all the ban- quets at graduating time at McClain, Pat is another who has fulfilled his share of the Class Prophecy-he is Latin professor at Cincinnati University. No, he has never married-always the girl-shy person in school, you remember. Robert Ciosset-surely, you have heard of the famous Keith circuit come- dian. He discovered his talent in the Senior play-and now his laugh is famous all over the country. Clifford Hudson was in Greenfield only last week demonstrating Fordson tractors. He's quite an authority, I believe. The Haines brothers are running a model up-to-date farm-all white buildings, etc., just at the edge of Greenfield. It is the pride and joy of our city. Richard Norton has enlarged the feed store. It takes in the whole block now. As a hobby, Dick loves to win trophy tennis cups. He has a stable full of them, I heard. As for Emerson Harris-surely, you have heard of his new motor. I believe it is the solution to the perpetual motion problem. Washington authori- ties are considering it now. Lewis Kearns hasn't changed one bit from the same old woman hater- I believe he is establishing chapters of his national fraternity of woman haters. When they see Irvin Ritter come to the Ohio State Fair they just sit back and say Whats the use? He always carries off all the prizes as a model farmer. C1reenfield's leading garage is in charge of Donald Strobel, the finest mechanic in this part of the country. Listen, let me give you a hint for next fall or late summer. If you girls want an attractive hat, just go to the Lady Gray Hat Shoppe, where Basquille's used to be a long time ago. Helen McCormick, Nola Dyke and Doris Moss- barger took that place this spring from the owners and have the most attrac- tive line of hats you can picture. I asked a number of people about Mary Winegar-and they all looked surprised and said, Why, didn't you know she is Librarian of the New Car- negie Library in Greenfield? And thus runs the course of fate in the old Class of '24. INA HAVEN MOORE. PAUL CAMERON. GE CLASS GIFTS Once upon a time a great artist visualized in his mind a picture, not one that would require the work of a lifetime, not one that contained many char- acters, just the scene of a lone Indian and his horse, and because of this vision he gave to the world that piece of art which is known as The End of the Trail. ' To many of the class of '24, this day marks the near-end of the school days, to others the school trail is not yet complete, but to all it marks the close of our High School days and the beginning of the Future on the Trail of Life. Because we realize that this Class Day means the present separation of friends and schoolmates, we feel that it is only proper to bestow upon each member of the class some gift as a parting token from dear old McClain High School. To the President of our class, Weldon Lough, we give and dedicate this little song, I Love Me, I'm Just Wild About Myself. Because Minette Grove has decided interests in Rainsboro or vicinity, we give her this compass, so she won't get lost in hunting the West. Wallace Fisher always has thought the name Alice quite beautiful, so to him we present the little book, Alice in Wonderland. Because her dates with the boys have not always been as plentiful as she would like, we give Virginia Reed this bunch of dates, all at one time. Now, Ircel Knedler, we know your failing, and for that reason we bestow upon you this song book with page 21 especially marked, for it is there you will find that sweet old song, Juanita. A shield from Cupid's darts is exactly what Mary Harris needs, for she refuses to be won by any man. , Archie Vandervort, that big member of our class that hails from Texas. shall receive a pair of shoulder pads, for fear life may not be as gentle as football, where he thought such things an added burden. I To Dorothy Dixon we give this song, My Buddy. Now we think Cecil Cooper would make an ideal husband because he has had plenty of experience when it comes to sweeping, so we present to him this little broom. Don't crowd, girls! Of course Esther Kelso would never think of appearing in the Assembly Hall with her hair not combed and her nose nicely powdered, so to save hunt- ing a looking glass so often we have decided-to give her one all her own. For Robert Ciossett we have obtained a special permission from Mr. Duck- worth to desert ushering any time he wants to take his best girl to the show. Since Doris Mossbarger has failed to find the prince of her dreams among this reckless bunch in McClain, we give her this ideal man. He neither smokes, drinks or chews, and best of all, never says a word when she proceeds to do all the talking. To Raymond Blazer, that quiet little boy of the class, we present this beautiful ring to take the place of his Senior Class Ring that he was so Free to give away. This small testament we give to Ina H. Moore so that she can make a special study of the book of .Iohn'f during her spare moments. To Randolph Cooper, who has been with us only a year, we give him a list of all the Seniors, so he can remember us easily. This' hook and line we donate to Alice Gray and we feel sure that she will one day be a great Fisher. For the two bashful members of our class, Richard Norton and Lowell Dunlap, we think these two young ladies will help to cheer up their lonely bachelor lives. This address for the book Hints on Breaking Into the Movies we pre- sent to Elmo Rowe and Margaret Towne, with the best wishes for success from the class of '24-. ' Since Clifford Hudson is some day going to be a great policeman, we want him to have this billy club to use in case any of the victims get rough. For Estella Burnett and Thelma Keefer we think chewing gum would be an appropriate gift, and we give you permission to chew it now without the customary C in self-control. Now Emerson Harris wants to be a mechanic when he leaves McClain High School, so this little car will do to practice on, for it won't be so hard to get together when once torn apart. To Louise Kline and Margaret Blain we give these rolling pins to aid in making good pies and they really make good husband beaters, too. Since Frederick Waterman is our budding young musician, we give him this pocket edition of a piano so he can practice often and also save the organ and piano in McClain High School for the class of '25, Some day Maurice Anderson is going to be a great doctor, especially on the subject of heart trouble: we wish to furnish the necessary sign for his future office in Humbolt. Keeping your new shorn locks all pretty and curly is quite a lot of trouble, isn't it, Vivian? Well, here are some curlers to help lessen your worries. These switches will be very useful when Mary Winegar and Marie Myers start on their life career of teaching school. To Charles Staub this map of Greenfield and surrounding country might prove useful, as he is doing a lot of traveling since he has fallen heir to a new flivver, If you don't believe it, ask Evelyn. As Iva Lee Johnson is having such a hard time trying to plan her future occupation, we will give her a few want ads to consider and we hope they will prove beneficial in deciding her life work. Since Berlye Cameron and Lewis Kerns seem to have lost the art of smil- ing, we trust this book of jokes will find the humorous side of them, if we can't. Don't read them here, boys, for fear of disturbing the program. This little lasso may aid Francis Reis to at last rope in a man. Luck to you, Frank! I When Paul Cameron goes calling on a girl he never knows when to come home, so we trust this watch will help to get him home at an earlier hour. Dorothea Carter has so many men on the string that she hasn't even time to sleep, and as this is very hard on one's health, we think these sleeping powders will prove helpful. A Now I will disclose to you a little secret. Joe Edmonson, our big athlete, is going to attend school in Athens next year, and to live in Athens and keep out of the bughouse one must be properly tagged, so we give you this tag, Joe, Not Crazy, Just Cracked. Since we think that Aileen Stewart will change her name to Patterson some day, we will want to be the first to donate to the Hope Chest. Oh, yes! We have a second Daniel Webster in the class. Why, he is so fine that Cicero would blush for shame could he hear him talk. Yes, you were right, it is our old friend Carey Faris. Now Carey can write as well Q as talk, so we give him this little book entitled, How To Become a Great Author. Alice Louise Connor is truly the mystery of the class. If she likes this boy or that boy, you never know it, and her many thoughts are never dis- closed to the public. Since she is such a mystery, we know very little about her except that her birthday comes in January, so this little book for those born in January may aid her in solving many mysteries of life and tell her the many great people that were born in that month, too. We have great hopes for you, Alice. 1 We fear that Helen McCormick is the real vamp of the class, at least for vamping Lowell. Thinking that her supply of lip stick and powder may be running low, permit us to supply some more. They say that eating a lot of yeast will make one grow big. This first free sample we give to Mildred Koons. Now Ethel Cherryhomes, Reba Lyle and Ruth Smith are all three natural born teachers, but nevertheless, children will be unruly, so these paddles may come in handy. We have a cradle robber in our class. We thought this history of Rogers Clark might help Margaret Alice Porter to learn more about the an- cestors of Ralph. These two Haines boys, William and Ronald, are another class mystery. They are both fine orators, but we fear they are destined to be farmers, so these implements may come in handy. To Nola Dyke we give this box of candy with the appropriate tag, Sweets to the Sweet. Bobbed hair is a trial when you can't find a comb, so we give Mary Puckett this little comb to save her from future worries. P Doris Caldwell is our class typist. However, we give her this wrist watch. hoping it will take the place of the one she would not take from Red. Evelyn Montgomery just can't keep enough gas in her car, so we give her this small amount to use in case she runs out again. Now Wilma Johnson has a habit of riding around quite often in a Ford car that is not her own, so we, as a class, wish to present her this one, and this saves Walter's. Donald Strobel is the quiet member of our gang and for fear he can't be heard we hope this horn will be useful. Eva Waln is a true poetess and lover of poetry, so We feel sure she will enjoy this book, The Child's Garden of Verse. Nearly all people have some kind of a hobby, and Glenpatrick Shrock's is bright neckties, so here is another to add to his collection. ' Some people never know when to stop talking, especially in literary meet- lngs, and for that reason We give Ervin Ritter this stop watch, and expecting this same gentle hint, we close this masterpiece here.

This startling statement is taken from Bulletin No. 34 of the U. S. Bureau of Education. Who's Who in America, which lists more than 20,000 successful living Americans. contains the names of 87 times as many high school graduates and 800 times as many college gradu- ates as there are those who have had only grammar school instruction. What is the answer? It can only be this: You will succeed in life in proportion to how well you are prepared. Just beyond the echo of the next clock tick-just behind the next leaf of the calendar-just back of the dawn of the new dafy and of many such dawns that are to come, lies the most inter- esting future in all the world-Yours. What are you going to do to prepare for it? Marietta College-historical in name and achievements-has been training men and women for leadership and lives of usefulness since 1835.
