Features Class Day PREs1DENT,s ADDRESS Classmates of ,31 and Friends: We, the class of 1931, extend to you a most cordial welcome to our Class Day exercises. Many occasions mark the graduation of McClain High seniors, but none sur- pass this occasion-Class Day. We have assembled here today for a good, old- fashioned time. Time-honored customs are discarded, and at the expense of one another we're going to enjoy one last afternoon together, and when we part we will part closer friends than ever, because we understand that all remarks made this after- noon, although appropriate, are unbiased and understanding is the foundation of the greatest friendships. The generosity of the class demands that we give gifts-and with what gener- osity we give them! The desire of the class, that none of our talents shall be bestowed upon the wrong person, prompts us to draw a last will and testament. Some lives will be completely changed after they have become heirs to our senior class. The deep insight of the class has made a prophecy possible, so that we may, this afternoon, disclose the future of us all. We feel that anyone deserves mention of any record they might have made, so we gladly bestow class degrees, in different degrees-degrees that have never before been bestowed upon anyone. To show that we really have a past, and have come to this graduating honor through effort and not mere desire, we will present our class history. And last, but not least, we are conscious of the faults of our class, and anyone who is not conscious of those faults now, will be, after the class knoclcer is presented. I, being president of the class, feel that 1 should be exempted from all this, and graduate with the distinguished honor of being the only perfect member of the class. -ROBERT HEAD, President of the Class of 1931. Class History LASS of Nineteen Hundred and Thirty-one! Has ever a class of McClain High School approached its graduation more joyfully and more triumphantly than this-our class? Through the years we have promised ourselves that we should exceed our predecessors and graduate with banners waving and colors fiying. Nlow we have realized our most cherished dreams. ln many ways it is a sad occa- sion of which we speak so gleefully, such a glorious event, yet we are eager to be off on some career, for we have rosy dreams of our future accomplishments. In September of the year 1927, one hundred and thirteen freshmen entered high school. There was nothing in particular to distinguish us from the previous classes. We, however, were very proud of the fact that we were now Freshies,,' and did our best to apprise our betters of it. Some called us f'green, but we did not mind, for does not green signify growth? During the first week of our high school life we elected class officers. Agnes Rowe was elected for president, Albert Strueve for vice-president, Peggy Tulleys for secretary-treasurer, and Sara Louise Limes for student senate. This year five members, all girls, received the scholarship NI, They were Helen Ervin, Loa Hart, Margaret McWilliams, Georgia Mertz, and Agnes Rowe. Our class proved that it had brawn as well as brains when three members won the right to wear a football lvl and one the right to wear the basketball MINI. We were also represented on the swimming and track teams. Thus at the end of the first year we had established ourselves and were ready to enter our second or Sophomore year in school. At the beginning of the Sophomore year, officers were again elected. President, Agnes Rowe, vice-president, Lowell Wilking secretary-treasurer, Helen Ervin, and student senate, Loa Hart. Class rings were chosen the first semester. Again, as in the Freshman year, the same five girls with Anna Lee Diggs and Sara Louise Limes in addition, received the scholarship M, One member Robert Head, was elected to the National Athletic Scholarship Society. This year five members received a football M and four received a basketball QM. Track and swimming letters were also given to those worthy of such an onor. Again another year had rolled around and we were then ready to enter into our third year as Juniors. As in the preceding years, class officers were chosen for the remaining two years. They were Robert Head for president, Lowell Wilkin for vice- president, and Sara Louise Limes for secretary-treasurer, and Loa Hart, Lowell Wilkin, Gegrgia Mertz and Robert Chaney were sent as representatives of our class to the stu ent senate. In this year Margaret McWilliams, Agnes Rowe, Georgia Mertz, and Cameron Hope were entitled to Wear the scholarship 'AlVI.,' .Toe Hull, Daryl Le Fevre, and Lowell Wilkin became members of the National Athletic Scholarship Society. During this year five members of our class received football f'M's and two were awarded basketball M's 3 three were given swimming M's and four more the track M, In this year the Junior boys won the inter-class track meet. One lof sur classmates, Robert Burgess, excelled in the field of agriculture by winning t e tate Poultry Judging Contest. Five members of our class represented the school in interscholastic debates. They vgergi Siara Louise Limes, Robert Chaney, Joe Woodruff, Loa Hart, and Wendell ri t . The name of the play presented by our class was The Goose Hangs High. Fourteen Juniors took part in this play. As was the custom in previous years, the Junior class gave a splendid banquet in honor of the departing Senior Class, the class of 1930. Thus so ended the event- ful year of 1930. Sixty-three members returned this year, under the name Seniors, to finish the great task which they had begun their Freshman year. This year we sent five members to the student senate. Those students were Lowell Wilkin, Robert Chaney, Joe Woodruff, Sara Louise Limes, Robert Helfrich, and Margaret McWilliams. , During this year seven wore football lW's,' and three the basketball M. And the girls won the interclass basketball championship. The only Senior elected to National Athletic Scholarship Society this year was Joseph Woodruff. Eight members of the class were elected to the National Honor Society. Those chosen were Sara Louise Limes, Agnes Rowe, Georgia Mertz, Helen Ervin, Anna Lee Diggs, Cameron Hope, and Robert Burgess. Two more will be elected at the end of the year. Sara Louise Limes, Margaret McWilliams Wendell Griffith, and Robert Chaney were members of the debate team this year. Those elected to the Quill and Scroll are: Helene Price, Robert Chaney, Wen- dell Griffith, Lowell Wilkin, Joe Woodruff, Sara Louise Limes, Madelaine Dun- lap, Violet Gilliland, Ruth Hiser, Nlargaret McWilliams. Fifteen Seniors took part in the Senior play, She Stoops to Conquer. Twenty Seniors also took part in the high school operetta, f'Pickles. As was the custom a huge banquet was prepared by the Junior Class for the graduating class. It was indeed a royal feast. Commencement exercises will be held May 26. This graduating is called a commencementg yet it is really a closing chapter in our lives-and ending of old friendships and pleasures. And so this chronicle of the class of 1931 ends as hopefully as it began. AGNES Rowls. JOSEPH WOODRUFF. Miss MARIE CWENS, Sponsor.

Realizing that this is one of the last times it will meet, the class has lavishly decreed that neither money nor effort shall be spared in the presentation of these gifts. Thousands of dollars have been spent in procuring these presents, and in as many cases as possible, presents will be given that will help the receiver to obtain a worthy start in this great World. We hope that good luck will come upon each member of the class, as these presents are showered down upon them. To Robert Head, our class president, we present this small shoe and to Agnes Rowe we give the mate. The neighbors of Lowell Wilkin, our vice-president, after hearing Lowell play his accordion, have requested that we give him this tin cornet.

Vernon Dwyer was the diver on our swimming team. VVe give him this glass of water to practice in. To Margaret McWilliams we present a Webster Dictionary because we feel there are yet a few things she doesn't know. To Everett Binns, the class sheik, we give this bottle of Si Smith's Hair Slick'em.

We feel that he should taste good candy once in a while so We give him this Tootsie Roll. To Peggy Tulleys we present a small badge, f'Wanted a Husband, because we think men feel she is a man hater. To the shyest boy in the class, Edwin Davis, we give this book entitled How to Get Over That Shy Feeling. Since Grace Marie VVinfough has always had an inclination to chum about with the football stars, we give her a football pin to remind her always of her many Hstarsf' To Wendell Griffith we give this book, Answers to All Foolish Questions. We think Helene Price needs a stepladder to carry along for her dates. No doubt some day Franklin Glassner will be a great musician, and for this reason we give him the jew's Harp. Because Elsie Snodgrass has a hobby for keeping late hours we think a little cream will help to vanish awayn the dark circles under her eyes in the morning. To Joseph Hull and Helen Ervin we give this pair of high top shoes. For Virginia Phillips we present a small skillet, knowing she will make some man a good cook. To the big butter and egg man of the class, Robert Helfrich, we give this rub- ber hot dog. . Because Mildred Anderson enjoys noon rides so much, we are giving her this fresh air taxi cab. We give Cameron Hope this lantern so that he can find his way out of the hills, no matter where he may want to go. From now on it may be that Opal Baird will be separated from Margaret Jane, so we'll give her the set of twins so she can always have her twin with her. We hear Joseph Karnes has been offered a position in a large electrical company, so we give him this book, How to Remove Light Bulbs From the Socket Without Letting the Gas Escape. To Josephine Beaver we present a bottle of hair reddener to make her more attractive. Woodrow Little, as his name suggests, needs this magnifying glass. We 'think Erdine Badgley should have another speech prepared, owing to her short oration, so weill give her one, l'The Courtship of Miles Standish. Clyde Lain wants to be an aviator, so we give him this airplane. To Lulu Bobb we present this box of bright rouge to blend in with her hair, because we think it will be very becoming to her. To Daryl LeFevre we ive this ice pack hopin it will keep the Fevre down. g . i if . We were sorry Mary Louise Cooper's Howers did not arrive on the correct date, but don't worry, it will never happen again, because we present to you this bouquet, which you may keep for all occasions. Mercer McDaniel, here is a book you may be interested in, at least we think so, on How to Win a Girlf' To Marjorie Caldwell we give a deck of cards. We thought perhaps she and her boy friend may be tired of Flinch. Because we feel that Emmit Payne would make a great sailor we give him this boat to practice sailing on Paint Creek. This little sedan car goes to Doris Davis to remind her of the many noon rides she has enjoyed during the last few years. So that he can defend himself from a certain sophomore, we give Harold Pyle this gun. To Jane Egan we present an ankle belln because we think her dancing will be more effec- tive if she wears it.

Where shall we go ? Just to fill up space We know a joke about a hen crossing the road, but we won't pullet. Class Knocker Listen, my friends, and you shall hear. Don't get excited and have no fear, lt's not 'lThe Ride of Paul Revere, But only the faults of our classmates dear. First is our class president, Robert Head. t'Heady'l never was much on speech making. We often wonder if he wasn't afraid his tongue would slip and he might accidentally use one of his famous cuss words. We fear Professor Duckworth's position is in danger. Our vice-president, Lowell Leslie Wilkins, graduates this year. Our secretary and treasurer is an innocent maiden named Sara Louise Limes. We fear she and Ruth Hiser have failed in their greatest aim of making others believe they are Jo innocent. If Vernon Dwyer was half as good looking as he thinks he is he would have been in Hollywood long ago. Grace Marie Winfough should be able to fill a big position when she graduates. Tests always were hard for Ed Davis if he was five seats from the correct answer. Eh, Ed? We wonder if Teeny Caron would cause such a heart flutter among the opposite sex if she wasn't a peroxide blonde. It's a shame you canlt all be blondes, girls. We are fortunate in having in our class a crooning saxophone player like Wendell Griflith. Even Rudy Valle hasn't anything on him, to use his own expression. Luellan Weller, Dorothy Rooks, and I.uella Karnes hail from the country, fresh and green. We mean the country, not the girls. Franklin Glassner and Clyde Lain have been so quiet thcy've shown neither their faults nor their achievements. Now we come to our class vamp, Elsie Snodgrass. She has the art of winning any man's heart, to hear her tell it. Maybe Bob Chaney thinks he is too cute for the Greenfield girls but we don't notice the girls shedding any tears yet. We wish Belle Bainter, Erdine Badgley, Catherine Potts and Mary Louise Cooper would show a little more pep and speak more often, but we wish Opal Baird, Marjorie Caldwell and Margaret Jane West would calm down and say a little less. Virgil Whited might think the world is gazing upon him when he wears that cute beret tam. I am sorry to say we all have our own opinions. All we say to Agnes Rowe is- Even independence can be run in the groundfl There is only one thing wrong with the Senior Annual this year. Helen Ervin and Joe Hull don't have their pictures together. You know it really doesn't look natural. The Redpath Chautauqua Bureau has engaged Harold Pyle to tour the. country talking on the f'Life of Knute Rockne, which made such a big hit in school this spring. Pylon has great oratorical power and we predict a great future for him in this line of work. In Doris Davis' case the flow of words is no proof of wisdom, Joe Karnes, Lester Warner, Emmit Payne and Merrick Clark have been in school so long it makes the teachers sad to see them leave with us. We wish to congratulate Madelaine Dunlap on the wonderful school spirit she has shown during her high school days. It is said that bigness means brains but we fail to believe this since we have gone through school with Donald Hill and Albert Strueve. Jane Egan thinks she has It, However, we all make mistakes. Now we come to our class sheik, John Wilson. YVhen he walks down the street the girls l gg lg t forget Buddy Rogers, Robert Montgomery and some of the other movie heroes. If you want to know anything about the school aH:airs, don't go to the office, just ask Marg McWilliams. We never saw anyone talk so much but yet say as little as Daryle LeFevre. If Virginia Mercer had the art of doing other things as well as chewing gum she might have been the leader of the class. Cameron Hope is a wise man. How do we know? He said so himself. We are glad Anna Lee Diggs and Georgia Mertz are able to giggle but sorry they can't let others in on the joke occasionally. Brush up on your etiquette, girls. Anyone wanting to reduce should dance with Everett Binns. Woodrow Wilson Little was named after a great man. We advise HWoody to step up a little if he ever expects to become a President. Josephine Beavers has completely exhausted the nerves of Rainsboro practicing on her fiddle. We do admit she can play pretty good, especially when she gets the chance to shake her red head now and then. It is a good thing that Joe Woodruff didn't live when Socrates did, because Socrates wouldnlt have had a chance. Lawrence Spargur always had to leave senior play practice early to go home and take care of his grandmother. Poor Lawrence! We wonder if it was grandmother or Virginia Austin that he had to take care of. Mercer McDaniel has that Schoolgirl Complexion. We wonder if he uses Palmolive soap. Robert Burgess, Elmin Weller and Willard Winegar can judge stock and grain, but when it comes to judging the lady friends they're very, very bashful. They call Russell Wolfe Scotty. You know his fault. Lulu Bobb, Virginia Phillips and Thelma West hail from Rainsboro-'nuf said. Now we come to the cradle snatcher of our class, Violet Gilliland. We know she doesnlt want to graduate, because then she Won't be able to entertain the lower classman any longer. If Bernice Byrd would discard that slow walk and pep up a little maybe she wouldn't fall to sleep in so many classes. These knocks were meant only in fun, With love and respect, but malice toward none. Each knock was meant as a witty pun, With fun for all and all for fun. PEGGY E. TULLEYS. ROBERT P. HEr.1fRxcH.

Had a big surprise today. Met one of my old McClain High School class- mates here at the airport. Sara Louise has had her troubles, too, and after twenty years she is a typical old maid. She didn't say so, but evidently her Count either doesn't exist or has left her for some other fair damsel. After my dear Madame Fee-Fee left me in Hollywood I can sympathize a great deal. Since she has the money and I have the plane and since both our hearts are broken we have decided to forget everything by taking a trip around the world. Leaving port tomorrow. May 11, 1950. Wonderful weather. Saw Opal Baird and joseph Karnes spearing fish off coast of Siberia. There always was something fishy about them. May 12, 1950. Making good time. Our radio nearly burst our ears today. Some lady was talking on beauty culture and she talked so fast we were afraid she would choke. Will surprises never cease? It was Helene Price-a second Edna Wallace Hopper. f'Pricey hasn't lived down her talking. Then the radio announcer, whose deep, bear voice nearly knocked us down, said he was Mercer McDaniel. If Miss Handley could hear his voice she would no longer need to strain her ears to hear his French. May 15, 1950. japan- Passed over Japan, learned that Virginia Mercer was married to a Japanese prince and her favorite pastime was raising silk worms. May 23, 1950. Sebul, Korea- Decided to record the names of all the old classmates we see on the trip. Saw a missionary preaching to the innocent Koreans and he even tried to convert us- but regardless of his success in Korea we both knew Everett Binns too well in McClain to hardly believe he could have become a missionary. May 24, 1950. Shanghai, China- Stopped here a day. Had the laugh of a lifetime. Saw Albert Strueve, who is president of the Willys-Knight corporation, being drawn in a jin-ricksha by Robert Burgess. May 30, 1950. Delhi, India- Here we found Elsie Snodgrass, always a charmer to the masculine sex, only now she is a snake charmer and has never gotten bit yet. June S, 1950. Arabia- Speaking of Sheiks, we found Donald Hill the biggest and best sheik in Arabia. His long, black beard is very becoming in a white dress. He seemed glad to see us. June 10, 1950. Moscow, Russia- Russia will never cease its revolutions. Two Americans now have the reins but it seems no peaceful progress is being made, even though Harold Pyle and John Wilson are trying to tame red Russia. June 13, 1950. Hamburg, Germany- Bob Helfrich has returned to the home of his ancestors and now owns the ancestral brewery there. Bob was happy, comfortable and contented. Junei 16, 1950. Paris, France- Only here a few hours but long enough to see two more of our classmates, Belle Bainter and Erdine Badgley, who have made good as American entertainers in France. june 20, 1950. Madrid, Spain- Saw our first bull fight here today. Really Elmin Weller has become quite a fearless man during twenty years. We found out that he is the champion bull fighter of the world. From the fierce we proceeded to the beautiful and saw a Spanish dance. Imagine our surprise at finding the small graceful lady in the beautiful mantilla to be Madelaine Dunlap. We were told that she was singing Carmen in a European opera, too. June 25, 1950. Sahara Desert- Passed rapidly over the desert. Saw a blond-headed boy carrying water to the camels. Swooped down close enough to yell to him and we heard the deep melodious voice of our old class president ring back. Bob Head has left the ice cream business and Agnes to carry water to camels. Can't imagine it, can you? July 10, 1950. Belgian Congo- We both wondered where we could find our old classmate, Bob Chaney. We read in a New York Times that he had become a missionary in Africa. Carrie Beth didn't like lions, so his high school romance was broken. We thought he might be in the Belgian Congo, and sure enough there he was! Only he was not a typical missionary but was pounding the tom-tom and singing St. james Infirmaryf! Chaney told us that he was a failure as a missionary and had joined the Cannibals in order to play the tom-tom. Poor Boy! July 14, 1950. Kimberly Diamond Mines- Thought perhaps we could pick up somie little rocks here, since our classmate, Dorothy Rooks, owned the entire mine. Her husband left them to her when he died of heart failure. But she was quite Scotch-so we passed on. July 20, 1950. Atlantic Ocean- Lonwg journey, this! Radio and newspapers our only news. Read in newspaper where Virgil Whited had been shot by a bandit-think he will recover. He is a cop in Humbolt, His part in our high school operetta must have influenced his life work. Passed a ship in mid ocean following a swimmer. It was Coach Lester Warner swimming the Atlantic Ocean. He always did want to do something big. Aug. 1, 1950. Peru- Passed over mountains rapidly. Saw a long-bearded shepherd herding goats. Imagine-- Merrick Clark in all this solitude! Aug. 10, 1950. Monterey, Mexico- It happened in Monterey! We don't know how, when, or why, but Doris Davis and Franklin Glassner were married here today. Aug. 15, 1950. Hollywood- Visited movie capital. Old classmates represented here. Lulu Bobb, the redhead of our class, has taken Clara Bow's place on' the screen, while Willard Winegar is a second Buddie Rogers. Aug. 22, 1950. Reno, Nevada- It happened in Monterey and it finished in Reno. Franklin and Doris received divorce here today. Sept. 1, 1950. Seattle, Washington- Passing over orange groves. Swooped plane down to the tree tops and Grace Winfough fell out of the tree. Instead of being a peach Grace is an orange. We were told that she married a wealthy orange grower. Sept. 15, 1950. Kansas City, Mo.- Democratic Convention here. Violet Gilliland is quite a lady in politics. Her nomination speech placed Woodrow Little as a candidate for the presidency of the U. S. Woodrow Little has become a second Woodrow Wilson. Sept. 20, 1950. Mississippi River- Saw a huge barge in the river. Imagine our surprise to learn that Agnes Rowe was run- ning coal barges from New Orleans to Cincinnati. She took the work up after Bob went to the desert. Too bad! Isn't it? Sept. 22, 1950. St. Louis, Mo.- Having World's Fair here. Saw Edwin Davis as head ticket man at a big show. Ed had just refused an offer to go into the movies. Saw the most fearless lady in the world. Anna Lee Diggs is the person. She dives 5000 feet into a tub of water. Well, that's the Way one becomes famous. Thelma West was here, too. She was demonstrating her method for obtain- ing Perpetual Youth. We didn't try it. Oct. 1, 1950. Chicago, Ill.- The shock of the entire trip came when we reached Chicago. Here we learned that the model of our class, Cameron Hope, had become a gangster. We couldn't prevent a few tears. But we were consoled when we found that Margaret McWilliams headed the Chicago police and we were sure then that our friend would be safe. Marg always had a kind heart and we knew she would newer allow Cameron to be caught by her. oar. 3, 1950. Indianapolis, Ind.- Saw some speed races here. Luellen VVeller and Marjory Caldwell have always liked to move fast, so they are now competing for word championship. Oct. 30, 1950. Greenfield, Ohio- Met severe fogs today. Had engine trouble and landed in a corn field. As soon as the plane landed we saw a grizzly farmer making his way toward us. We were both thrilled when we recognized another old friend, Joe Hull. We had landed in his corn field just north of Greenfield. He took us to the house and Helen gave us a dandy meal. They are as happy and contented as ever only, of course, they have grown older. The tragic part of it all is that their children have all inherited Joe's disposition. NOV. 1, 1950. Kentucky- Had trouble with the plane again today and had to land in the Cumberland Mountains. It was dangerous and near evening when the trouble began. WVe were frantic because the mountain wilderness is not so pleasant. Saw a cabin far up the mountain and proceeded to make our way there. Imagine our dismay at finding Peggy cooking in a small log cabin for her eight children! Believe- it or not, Peggy was quite domestic and seemed to be very much in love with her mountaineer husband. Nov. 10, 1950. Atlanta, Ga.- Here our hearts were broken, for one of our class has strayed from the straight and narrow path. We visited Wendell Griffith in the Federal Prison. He had been put there for disturb- ing the peace with his saxophone playing! Too bad! Griff,'l we sometimes wondered where it would all lead. Nov. 19, 1950. Miami, Fla.- Having terrible storm here. Learned that Joe Woodruff had been blowing so much down here that he had stirred up a tornado. joe has never outgrown his childish habits. NOV. 22, 1950. Washington, D. C.- We were entertained royally by jane Egan, who has married a diplomat. She has charge of the nation's social functions and is quite the lady. NOV. 24, 1950. Atlantic City- Saw Mary Louise Cooper competing in a beauty contest here. Clyde Lain is serving as chairman of the judges. We feel sure he will do everything in his power to make McClain famous. So the beauty of our class may become the beauty of our nation. Dec. 1, 1950. Niagara Falls- Saw Luella Karnes and David VVinegar here on their honeymoon. That must really be love, when a girl will wait for a man 20 years. People from all over the world had congregated here to see Bernice Byrd go over Niagara in- a barrel. Daring-Oh, no! Dec. 2, 1950. New York City- Met a stunt plane in the air and saw a dainty, graceful lady doing stunts which shocked even New York. Yes, we nearly fainted too, when we recognized this fair lady to be our old friend, Ruth Hiser. Believe it or not, Ruth's as light as a feather, and has won fame as a para- chute jumper. Landed in New York in order to see the city. We went into a Fifth avenue shop and found Georgia Mertz a most attractive model. Her beauty has never left her even after 20 years of maidenhood. Proceeded on down Fifth avenue and saw Ernestine Caron, who has a peanut stand in the most fashionable part of New York. That our class beauty should come to this is really terrible! Margaret jane VVest has charge of the Metropolitan Opera House in New York and she invited us there for the evening. In a huge box we saw Mildred Anderson simply bedecked with diamonds, entertaining Daryl Le Fevre. Milly seems to be the most prosperous of the class. Anyway, she seemed to be showing Daryl a good time. He is a big butter and egg man from the West. Itls his first trip to New York and he seems to enjoy it. Decided to fly over New York and see the sights, since it had been five years since we had seen the old city. As we passed over the Statue of Liberty we could see a man sitting on her shoulder evidently trying to powder the nose of the Statue of Liberty. Yes, it was Emmit Payne, another one of the Class of '31. Emmit always did like to do unusual things and this time he has succeeded. Then of course we saw the huge Spargar building, which is the wonder of the world, 2,000 feet high. It was built in honor of Lawrence Spargar who had left all his millions of dollars to the Salvation Army-big-hearted Sparkie, he must have learned it all in Rainsboro. As we passed over this building we yelled to Vernon Dwyer who was perched on the top of the flag pole on the Lawrence building, and was attempting to draw a picture of New York City on a live inch piece of paper. Dec. 10, 1950. Canada- Decided to make the North Pole by Christmas. just passed over the St. Lawrence River and saw Russell Wolfe counting the Thousand Islands. t'Scotty is trying to make himself famous by proving that there are only 999 islands. Dec. 20, 1950. Hudson Bay- Here we saw Katherine Potts and Virginia Phillips in a sail boat. We were told that they were still searching for their fortune. With these last two people we realized that in our trip around the globe we had seen or heard about everyone in our old class. Some were happy-some were sad. But that is life, and we believe each in one way or another has achieved his goal. SARA Louise Lnvnas. LOWELL WILKIN.

CLASS WILL E, the graduating class of one thousand nine hundred and thirty-one, being in possession of our usual superior mentality, and realizing that the lower classmen of McClain High School have need of many of our unusual quali- ties, do hereby bequeath the following mentioned property to the persons designated, and declare this to be our last will and testament. lst. To the class of one thousand nine hundred and thirty-two we do reluctantly bequeath our esteemed title of Senior, VVe hesitate to do this because we realize that they can not maintain the standard we have set. 2nd, To the faculty we leave all future Freshmen, hoping that they will lead them along the Howery paths of learning as they have led us. The personal bequests are as follows: Grace Marie Winfough wills her free rides in Streuveis Fresh Air Taxi Cab to anyone who can beat her time. Lawrence Spargur, Mercer McDaniel, and Joe Karnes, The Three Musketeers from Rainsboro, leave their winning ways with women to every boy bearing the stamp of Rainsboro. Belle Bainter bestows upon Mildred Lough her ability to be seen and not heard. A word to the wise is sufficient, Mildred. To Thomas Lowden, Bob Chaney leaves his ability to get away with anything. Don't try it out too often, Tom-once in a while it doesn't work. Josephine Beavers bequeaths her musical ability to Donald Townsend. We fear Donald's has been severely over worked and might need some replenishing. To George Karnes, Frank Glassner gives his expertness in track. Agnes Rowe bestows upon Frank Blazer her ability to catch and hold the class president. Daryl Le Fevre leaves his surplus knowledge of French to Mr. Griesheimer. Don't expect too much. Ernestine Caron leaves her facility of vamping every man she meets to Betty Skeen. To Billy Coffey, Cameron Hope bequeaths his ability to slide through on last year's grades. You might at least give it a trial, Billy. Erdine Badgley wills her excess height to Fern Hempleman. To Lucile Ervin, Bob Helfrich leaves his clear enunciation. Lester Warner bestows upon Mutt Overman his faculty for breaking girls, hearts. Don't bee too hard on them, lllutt. Madelaine Dunlap and Georgia Mertz leave their weakness for Columbus boys to anyone in the Junior Journalism Class who is fortunate enough to catch one at the next Journalism Convention. To Forrest Plummer and John Mertz, Virgil Whited and Woodrow Little be- queath that reserved and distinguished manner. Luellen Weller endows Agatha Duffield with her extraordinary typing skill. Helen and Joe, the perfect couple, leave their complete infatuation for each other to Lorene Montgomery and Charles Cook. Peggy Tulleys bestows upon Virginia Woodruff her auburn locks. We're sorry she can't give you her marcel, too, Virginia. Robert Burgess and Elmin Weller leave their surplus knowledge of agriculture to Kenneth Coffey and Doral McNeil. Without it, however, we're sure the over- production of farm crops will be relieved. Ruth Hiser endows her Prima Donnan ways to Leona VVise. Fizzle Wilkin leaves his winning ways with Miss Handley to Ed. Caron. If at first you don't succeed, try, try, again, Ed. To Jean Overman, Violet Gilliland bequeaths her liking for black haired boys. Joe Woodruff and Russell Wolfe, after making their debut in the Senior Class Play, have decided to leave their dashing ways to Chester Morris and Buddy Rogers. Virginia Phillips and Lulu Bobb leave their quietness of manner to the Freshman girls. Take the hint, Freshmen. Albert Strueve leaves his willingness to play chauffeur for a crowd of girls to Dudley Moon. Sara Louise Limes leaves to Helen Oxley her longing for a Count and a chateau. We hope, Helen, that it won,t turn out to be a no-count. To William Shockey, Emmitt Payne bequeaths his oratorical ability. With it we're sure William will be another Lincoln. Jane Egan bestows her ability in dancing to Lucille Barrett. Clyde Lain and Willard Winegar will their superfluous knowledge of Chemistry to next yearis Chemistry class. Take hope, Mr. Duckworth. Margaret Jane West and Opal Baird leave their golden bonds of friendship to Helen Hiser and Donna Graves, John Wilson bestows upon Marion Knedler his title of f'What the well-dressed man will wear. Anna Lee Diggs wills that adorable giggle to Jesslyn Hammond. For the benefit of Miss Owens, use this only sparingly, Jesslyn. Ed. Davis and Harold Pyle bestow their athletic ability upon Thoroman Handley and George Dailey. Freda Badger gets Mildred Anderson's quick temper. Be careful, Freda, your red hair and her temper may be an awful combination. Everett Binns bestows upon anyone who will take them his privilege of having mumps and measles at the same time. To Jessie Mae Chaney Dorothy Rooks leaves her wavy locks. Vernon Dwyer wills that beautiful plaid cap of his to anyone who will take good care of it. Elsie Snodgrass and Virginia llflercer bestow their dashing ways upon Virginia Hout and Elizabeth Moomaw. Francis Hall is to receive Donald Hill's ability to crash that line. Wilhelmina Blackburn receives from Katherine Potts her way of arriving late to class and not being called. Wilhelmina needs somethng to help her out, we fear. Luella Karnes leaves her affection for farmers to Janice Handley. Go slow at first, Janice. Doris Davis leaves her ability to go steady with one fellow to Ruth Anna Rowe. Mary Louise Cooper leaves to Frances Jinks her faculty of getting roses for her oration-and on the wrong date at that. Marjory Caldwell bequeaths the perpetual motion of her mouth to Marguerite Riley. Helene Price leaves that peculiar walk of hers to Evelyn Biggs. Upon Earl Mitchell, Bernice Byrd bestows her complete enjoyment of life. Now you can take things easier, Earl. Merrick Clark wills his liking of Hills to Mulford Cox. We understand that he's gone in for Hills, too. Thelma West bequeaths her success in reducing to Helen Cook. Thelma says it's a wonderful method, Helen. Robert Head leaves his faculty of never studying in the fifth period study hall to Raymond Clark. Our observation is that Clarkie hasn,t hurt himself any this year either. Signed this nineteenth day of May. Per WENDELI, GRIFFITH. MARGARET MCWILLIAMS. Miss LUCILE JOHNSON, Sponsor. Class Degrees Everett Binns isn't such a bad baseball player, so we give him the degree B. R. D.-Babe Ruth's Double. Belle Bainter is a quiet and very dignified senior who seldom speaks until spoken to. As there are few of us who do this we believe Belle deserves credit and we give her M. Q.- Miss Quiet. One member of the class, Bernice Byrd, must keep very late hours, for she uses the French class to get her lost sleep, so we give her S. B.-Sleeping Beauty. Woodrow Little has great ability in playing pool. Upon him we confer the degree P. S.- Pool Shark. We have heard that Thelma VVest prefers Washington C. H. fellows, so we give her W. S.-Washington's Sweetheart. Ed Davis has a great deal of trou ble doing anything on time. We think he deserves A. B.-Always Behind. jane Egan has obtained a great deal of fame because of her dancing ability. She merits D. D.-Dancing Doll. Luella Karnes has been going with David VVinegar for several years, so we think she must be D. W.-David's Weakness. A certain senior, Doris Davis, has a fondness for askng questions. Her degree is I. D.- Inquisitive Doris. Vergil Whited still prefers Hillsboro to Greenfield. He is H. B. B.-Hillsboro's Best Booster. Because of her beautful curly hair Mary Louise Cooper deserves P. C.-Pretty Curls. Madelaine Dunlap certainly has the ability to refuse dates, so she rightfully deserves D. R.-Date Refuser. Evidently Merrick Clark stays out late at night, for he uses the classroom to get his sleep. We give him L. H.-Late Hours. We heave heard that Lulu Bobb is exceptionally good at shorthand, so she merits the degree S. W.-Shorthand Whiz. Our football star, Donald Hill, has attained great honor as a football player, so he deserves G. C.-Gridiron Champ. Violet Gilliland certainly can play the piano, so she is our C. NI.-Class Musician. Emmit Payne seems to enjoy informing the rest of the seniors in English class how to pronounce words. If in doubt, after this please ask Emmit. His degree is W. D.-Walking Dictionary. Because of the size and beauty of Elsie Snodgrass' eyes, her degree is B. B. E.-Big Brown Eyes. Wendell Grifhth has distinguished himself especially in the mathematics and French classs by asking questions. We conclude that he must be F. O. Q.-Full of Questions. Ever since the Journalism Convention Ann Diggs seems to enjoy writing letters to a cer- tain fellow in Columbus. She is our C. C.--Columbus Correspondent. Clyde Lain is one of our highest elevated members and so bashful that we give him L. L. B.-Long, Lean and Bashful. We all know that Josephine Beaver surely can play the violin, so we give her R. F.- Rainsboro's Fiddler. Robert Burgess surely can show us all how to work mathematics. His degree is M. M.- Master of Mathematics. We think S. B. S. would be a fitting degree for Erdine Badgley, as she is Short But Sweet. To Bob Chaney, our class lover, the loves Washington C. H. especially welll we give C. V.-Cupid's Victim. Luellen Weller has distinguished herself by being a good typist. She gets C. T.-Class Typist. John Wilson has very dashing ways and is always dressed in the latest style. VVe think a fitting degree for him would be B. B.-Beau Brummell. Margaret Jane West is so s weet and likeable that we think a fitting degree for her is S. G. G.-Sweet Girl Graduate. Albert Streuve certainly presents a healthful appearance. VVe conclude that he must be C. B. F.-Corn and Beef Fed or our Class Baby Face. Take your choice, Albert. Catherine Potts, who is quiet and backward until you know her, gets D. C.-Deceptive Catherine. , Willard Winegar has hopes of becoming the Henry Ford of Agriculture, so We give him A. A.-Agriculture Ace. If you don't know where to find Peggy Tulleys, look in the picture show. For this reason we give her P. S. F.-Picture Show Fiend. Vernon Dwyer aspires to become a great artist, with best wishes we give him A. R. A.- A Real Artist. Helen Ervin has been going with Joe for so long that we feel sure that she deserves J. D.-joe's Delight. Bob Head, who always has a smile for everyone, merits G. B.-Grinning Bob. Quietness certainly characterizes Dorothy Rooks, so upon her is conferred the degree N. T. S.-Nothing to Say. We recommend that the girls take Mer cer McDaniel as a model for self-advancement, in at least one respect. He works on the theory that if Speech is Silver, Silence is Golden. He receives S. B. N.-Seen, But Not Heard. Sara Limes, in one line of accomplishment, has maintained the highest standing. Once she gets started she is hard to stop. We bestow upon her D. O. S.-Durability of Speech. Joe Karnes has a leisurely way of walking. Hoping that it will speed him up a bit, we present him with V. F.-Very Fast. Milly Anderson is always in good humor and ready to laugh. Upon her is bestowed J. M.-jolly Milly. Elmin Weller, who has recently started a dairy, is surely on the road to become P. S.- Pasteur's Successor. Margaret McWilliam is just like a bee in school. She is here, there, and everywhere, always having plenty to do. She deserves B. B.-Busy Body. We know Franklin Glassncr comes from the country, so we think he should have C. B.- Country Boy. Opal Baird is one of the precious few who have that lovely schoolgirl complexion. Therefore P. A.-Palmolive Ad-is bestowed upon her. S Joe Hull is one of the leading athletes on the track team, so we give him T. S.-Track tar. Believing that Virginia Mercer realizes the dignity of the great event of her life to which her graduation takes her nearer, we grant her the degree P. F.-Provided For. 'Upon Daryl LeFevre is bestowed G. S.-Girl Shy. 'Nuff said. Agnes Rowe is always among the first to follow Dame Fashion. This necessitates her being the C. F. P.-Class Fashion Plate. To Bob Helfrich, who has won all the ladies' hearts in town, we give L. C.-Lady Catcher. We'think three words would accurately describe Ruth Hiser. So S. B. S.-Slow But Sure-is bestowed upon her. Since there were very few senior programs on which Joe Woodruff did not appear, his degree is C. O.-Class Orator. Ernestine Caron has broken so many hearts that she surely deserves H. B.-Heart B1'eaker. Russell Wolfe is very good at putting two and two together, so we feel sure he will becomes a S. S. H.-Second Sherlock Holmes. There have been few pupils who have come to our school and gained recognition as Virginia Phillips has. Why? Because she is F. O. B.-Full of Business. Lester Warner has always had quite an attraction for the opposite sex, so his degree is L. M.--Ladies' Man. Because of the beautiful diamond which Marjorie Caldwell is wearing, we conclude that she must be a B. T. B.-Bride To Be. Harold Pyle is one of the most bashful and easily embarrassed members of our class. This applies mostly where speech making is concerned. His degree is T. B.-Too Bashful. Grace Marie Winfough, the star basket maker on the champion senior girls' basketl all team, gets C. C.-Cage Champ. We believe that the goal to which Lawrence Spargur is striving can be designated by this remarkable degree, P. H. D.-Post Hole Digger. Helene Price is always pulling a joke on someone. Therefore we grant her C. J.-Class Joker. It would seem that there are many things which Lowell Wilkin is well Fitted to do and to be. With this in mind we bestow upon him our highest degree, M. A.-Most Anything. Now all of our classmates will go out into the world with a degree, which they may show their employers and we hope it will help them secure splendid positions. CAMERoN HOPE.

Printers, Publishers, Designers, Manufacturers GREENFIELD, OHIO CLASS POEM Our classes are all over, our books are put away, And we won't have to study for many a long day. At last we reached Commencement, with its joys and pleasures, Meanin' that with high school, we all are ever through. To us it seems a joy, to think we've finished school. No longer need we worry 'bout discipline or rule. Welll have plenty of time to rest and plenty of time to play, Now that our classes all are over, and our books are put away. But somehow we'll get to thinkin, and feelin, kinda queer When the heat of summer's over and the coolin' fall is here. We're goin' to miss our comrades and the Freshies we liked We,ll even miss our teachers, tho, they were so hard to please. The boys no longer'll battle for the honor of dear McClain In swimming meets, or basketball, or any other game. Maybe then we won't be happy or our hearts be light or gay, Thinkin' our classes are all over and our books are put away. Now we're at the partin' and it makes us sorta blue, Meditatin' on our school days, days of work and pleasure, too. Four years now welve been together, a large and happy class, too, to tease, Sometimes laughin' sometimes frownin' while daily hours pass. As we leave our dear high school, known from rise to setl of su We are proud to say we're members of the class of thirty-one. ow the school of life we enter to study and learn each day, Where the classes will never be over and the books are not p N nr ut away.
