DALLAS ZIEGLER April 29, 1936 Sept 20, 1919 Seniors Many before have trod our path Searching always for classic learning, Desire o'erwhelming Morpheus, wrath, Oftimes the oil of midnight burning. Each hurdle o'ertaken, each game won, Our desire always to exceed the high Goaded us forward 'till all was done For achievement alone could mollify. Every opportunity was ours at will In this edifice of nation-wide fame, Achievement's cup was ours to fillg Have we upheld our high schoolls name? For if our lives are but a dream, From purposes as from action free, Without a plan, without a scheme Ours, the bitter cup of shame, must be. Awake, asleep, by night or day, The Fate ye seek is seeking yeg No wind nor storm can turn astray The challenging tides of destiny. We stay our haste, we make delays For what avails this eager pace? We stand amid the eternal ways Ready to meet life face to face. Amid all life's cares and sufferings, In this world suffused with doubt, Weill cherish the joy that memory brings Praising McClain with words devout. Marjorie Handley Rose E.

HE honor students are divided into two classes: those elected to the National Honor Society and those privileged to Wear the scholarship MINI pin. Members of the National Honor Society are always seniors and are elected to this organization by faculty members. This honor is the highest that can be conferred on any senior. Membership in the society is based on scholarship, leader- ship, character and service. The ten seniors who received this honor this year are Ann Kyle, Hugh Hull, Martha Judkins, Martha Cockerill, Mary Louise Wagner, Sara Caldwell, jane Emery, Ruthanna Wilson, William jury and Carol Skeen. The scholarship M pin is the merit of honor for students in all four classes in the high school who have maintained an average of ninety-five for a given semester. The four students who obtained an average of ninety-five and are therefore qualified to wear the scholarship HM are Ann Louise Kyle, Thelma Cochran, Jean Kilpatrick, and Kathryn Cochran.

In order to become a member of Quill and Scroll, a student must rank in the upper third of his class scholastically and have done outstanding work in journalism during the school year. The department was represented at the annual state convention held in Columbus the first part of November by ten members, and at the first Southeastern Ohio Shop Talk by the adviser.

I-I1xsoN President, Class of '38 Presidenfs Address TRY to imagine the class of 1938 as a group of boys and girls in the beginning stage of school history, when seventy- four began their school career in kindergarten, September 1925. Each day gained a new develop- ment for the tiny hands and meek voices 5 and at the end of the term all were eagerly waiting for the middle period which was just three months away. One-hundred twenty-iive students answered to the roll call when it was called on a morning of September 1926. This group varied slightly in attendance during this period, but year after year the pupils grew in intellect and stature. All worked hard in studies and many participated in extra features. The middle period lasted through, junior high, the seventh and eighth grades. Here organizations played an important part- clubs, school boy patrol, assemblies, class baseball and junior high basketball. The assembly officers in 1934 were Sara Louise Caldwell, president, john Ashling, vice president, Ann Kyle secretary- treasurer, Merrick Everhart and Mary Louise Wagner, Hag-guardians, and Robert Gray and Betty Hollis, ushers. The patrol captain was Robert Gray and the lieutenants were Hugh Hull, William jury, john Clements, William Chapman. The girls took the boys' place in the spring of the year. This was the first girl patrol. Both groups enjoyed a trip to Cincinnati. The members of the basketball squad were john Ashling, Robert Gray, John D. Miller, john Clements, Robert Morgan, Ernest Payne, Elzie Howland, Robert Jackson. Freshman year which seems a little nearer to us, we shall call the beginning of the modern period. The officers this year were Robert Jack- son, president, Sara Caldwell, vice-president, Margaret Hall, secretary-treasurer, and John Ashling student senate representative. Scholarship M's were attained by Ann Kyle both semesters of this year and Sara Louise Caldwell and Mary Louise Wagner the last semester.

At the beginning of this year, the last year to be remembered of our days at McClain, Martha Cockerill, Hugh Hull, Ronald Garman, Robert Gray, and Mary Louise Wagner were elected to the student senate. The other officers of the class were the same as the preceding year. The class motto- Build for character, not for fame , colorsHscarlet and gray, flower- American beauty rose were chosen as symbols of the class. Thirteen boys received letters in one or three athletic activities - football, basketball, base- ball, swimming - john Clements, Leslie Pointer, Robert Pyle, Robert Jackson, john D. Miller, James Ellison, Ronald Garman, Ernest Pollard, Robert Gray, William Jury, Charles Ely, Hugh Hull, and William Harper.

Ten seniors were elected to the National Honor Society-Ann Kyle, Martha Cockerill, Isabel Holmes, William Jury, Mary Louise Wagner, Sara Louise Caldwell, jane Emery, Martha judkins, Hugh Hull, and Carol Skeen, All of the members of the senior journalism staff were recognized by Quilland Scroll- Martha Judkins, Marjorie Handley, Martha Cockerill, Sara Louise Caldwell, Carol Skeen, Robert Gray, and Mary Louise Wagner. Twelve short years divided into three short periods - now only memories. MARY Louisa WAGNER JEAN ANN SPARGUR ROBERT C. GRAY WILLIAM E. DAVIS, adviser Class History IN writing this knocker our object was fun, not hurting anyone's feel- ings. We hope the Seniors will be the good sports that we know they are and take this as it was meant. So with your permission we pre- sent the class knocker: The boys never have a chance to ask Mary Etta Cahall for dates. She always asks them first. Now, now, Mary Etta why donit you give them a break? We do hope that Emily Jean Hill can curb that terrible temper she has. It might prove fatal some day, Emily. The whole senior class has about given up hope to make Sara Louise Caldwell quit being a Htomboyf' Come on Blimpey calm down, and be a dignified senior. Roseanne Fairley likes to be called kitten for some reason or other. Awkwardi' is a more suitable name for her. All we say to June Everman is: Even inde- pendence can be run in the ground. We do wish Betty June Hollis would act natural for a change. It would be ever so much more becoming Het.,' Ann Kyle spent all that time on a scholarship test and wastes her breath talking about going to college, when she more than likely will tie- the-knot with Bill Sulcebarger, More power to you, Annie. To two members of our class. Ruth Anna Wilson and Betty Ruth Purdin, we Want to give this bit of advice: girls, please quit acting like babies. Isabel Holmes and Clarice Schiller are so quiet and meek that they really get on your nerves. Why don't you speak up girls? You might have something interesting to say if we could hear you. Lorraine Rutherford plans to be married in June. We said plans! It is a good thing that jane Evelyn Emery didn't live when Socrates did, because Socrates wouldn't have had a chance. Knocker We fear that Mr. danger. Jean Anne Sp l l l rubaker's position is in rgur graduates this year. If you want to know anything about school affairs, don't go to the Narcross. Joan Depoy is goin office, just ask Mariellen to be a great musician. How do we know? Shi told us so! Since Mary Louise Wagner has such nice quiet ways, we feel sure that there will be a blow up some day. At last we found a girl in the senior class who knows it all. None othbr than Martha Judkins! Everyone would like to be friends with Theodora Clouser, but . she never gives us a chance. Why don't you come down off that perch Ted ?

In Alice Moomawis case the flow of words is no proof of wisdom. We never saw anyo e talk so much, but yet n say as little as Bernadine Dodds. We wonder what the teachers would have done if Mary Cannon ever came to classes on time. Donlt forget Mary, that a good Secretary is always alert and punctual. Mary Alice Bowers is worried to distraction, she doesn't see how the Rolling Pin Club is to go on without her. B that the club will mana t we think Mary Alice, e quite well. Martha Cockerill wins honors in school and is generally known as a. bright girl, but it took Martha the whole school year to learn the com- bination of the lock o her gym locker. My, my, Martha why didnll you use some of that gray matter? Bernice Beath didn'i shine on the Shorthand State Test, when she said that she could take 150 words per minute. stretching it a bit. We wonder, if she wasn't 1 We believe Pearl Crago is ashamed of her teeth, because we never see her smile. As a chiseler Clarice Whitley is tops. How- ever,, there is a flaw in every plan. Our flaming goddess, Carol Skeen isn't so flaming after all, it's just the color of her hair. Esther Smalley and Helen Penwell certainly can't be complimented on their school spirit dur- ing the past school year. It has been a difficult task for us to find something about Wyoma Powell and Thelma Iseman, but at last we've succeeded in finding this one fault, they're too self-conscious. We'd think that Margaret Hall would get rather tired of running after her boyfriends. Why not let them run after you. We think Gertrude Thompson is a grand dancer, so does she. We wonder if the reason the Hi-Y club was not so popular this year is because Robert Gray has been the president. We all think the reason William Jury got good grades in Chemistry is that he sat in the seat next to the correct answer. Denver Stultz, Paul Karnes, and Robert Stewart can judge livestock and grain, but when it comes to judging girl friends, they are very, very bashful. We hope that James Losey Will always be Lowden's pet. John Lang says, I should have been born a girl, so I wouldn't have to shave that fuzz that grows on my facef' The king of swing, Robert Jackson, will probably be picking more oranges than playing football in Florida next year. William Harper's greatest ambition seems to be golf as he is always holding a Driver in his hands. ' William Taylor went to school 14 years but that wasn't long enough, so he got himself a job at the school house. John Ashling already has a good start at the hardware business, at least, he has the ware. All Dean Le Fevre needs is a paint brush and paint to become a painter as he has the wood very handy. We will all probably see John Clements throwing towels to the basketball team at Ohio Wesleyan in a couple of years. All we can say about Floyd Matlack is that we hope his marriage this summer is a very happy one. The three great astrologists, Charles Ely, Hugh Hull, and Ellis Fullwiler made that tele- scope in Science Club to look the universe over to find a girl. If Edward Watts could play baseball as well as he can talk it, Greenfield would have another Carl Hubbell. Leslie Pointer was a good athlete before he became hen-pecked. Kenneth Peake thinks he is the town sheik but we have other ideas. Robert Morgan will probably be called tail-spin Tommie in a few years if he completes that flying course in the Parks Air College. Some of us wonder what Charles Felkey's secret ambition has been for the last four years as he always came to school with his hair comb- ed in a certain way, and at noons it is always mussed a bit. Whatls the answer Charles? Lauren Bellar is a horn tootin' man and his expressions are that of grace. He not only plays with hs mouth and hands, but he plays all over his face. The fact that George Hixson is the President of the Senior Class, doesn't keep him from being a bit smart-alecky at times. From a girl who should know. Last but not least, Robert Pyle, we know that some day he will be a great success as he will let the world go around him, and not with him. JAMES ELLISON JANE CLYBORN JOHN D. MILLER MISS RUTH THOMAS, adviser Knoeker To Mary Etta Cahall we give this piece of THERE is a beautiful story in Greek mythology which tells of wonder- ful gifts given off annually by the planet Jupiter. At a certain period each year when the cycle of jupiter is just right, gifts, both good and bad are sent to people on earth. Last night, May 23, at 20 minutes till twelve jupiter sent gifts to each member of McClain senior class of 1938. We, Carol, Johnny, and Martha have been appointed to distribute these gifts. Because they are both so meek and quiet that we can never tell when they are around, we bestow these megaphones on Leona Althouse and Sara Louise Caldwell. After much thought, we have decided to award this rolling pin to Mary Alice Bowers, so that she can boss her husband like she bosses the club. Because we never see john Ashling without Lucille Ware, we give him this book entitled 'tHow to Keep From Being Henpeckedf' Margaret Hall receives this joke book so that she will smile at least once in awhile. We are proud to present Emily jean Hill with this package of very valuable bobby pins-so that she can find more and better ways of putting up her hair. Robert Gray is to be the proud owner of this new group of Hi-Y boys-he doesnlt seem to be able to do much with the ones he has. We present this ladder to Betty June Hollis so she can climb those curbs. This book entitled, Training Rules and How to Keep Theml' is our gift to William Harper. Jane Emery is to be the proud owner of this dictionary. Read it and see if there is anything in it which you do not know, Jane. To Roseanne Fairley we give this log cabin syrup can. Nuff said! We give this pair of smoked glasses to Charles F elkey so he wonlt be tempted to sit and wink at the girls anymore. This camera is our present to Ellis Fullwiler, so he can take more pictures of that girl. This pair of scissors is our gift to Theodora Clouser, in case she ever lets her hair get so long again. To June Everman we give this immense A in deportment, so that she will have had at least one this year. Gifts l This jar of gravel goes to Pearl Crago so that she may put it in her shoes and feel at home if she ever gets off the farm. To Hugh Hull, the dumb-bell of the class f around girlsj, we give this book How to Make Love in Ten Easy Lessons. To Robert Jackson we give this song sheet.

We give John Lang this box of cookies. Be sure to use that cookie duster on them, John. To Jo Handley we present a patent for her walk. We know that :no one could ever repro- duce it. Lauren Bellar is n we give him this one. Lauren, you may never to get along with. We couldn't decide Ellison a cradle to rob, so we compromised and Paint Creek so he wilI ver seen with a girlg so Take good care of her get another one as easy whether to give James or a rattle to play with, gave him this picture of l never forget Virginia. Everyone knows Charles Ely is on the swim- ming team. We give ybu this little tub to prac- tice in, Charles. To Mary Louise W agner, because she is al- ways ready to do something for someone else, we give this friendship ring. Clarice Whitley, the class hamburger queen, receives this onion - sc her food well seasoned. u she will be sure to keep To Ruthanna Wilsin we present these apron strings, in case she e motherls. fer gets away from her Billy Jury always talks as if he were ready to bite our heads off, so to sweeten him up we give him this lump of sugar. This mirror is to be given to Leslie Pointer. Look into it and see that you shouldn't be quite so conceited. just look at those ears! T o remind her of the crush she used to have on Bobby John Ralph, we give Erma King this monkey wrench. Bernice Beath, the new girl in the senior class, says she can take 120 words a minute in shorthand. Here's a pencil, Bernice, now prove it This can of high test gasoline goes to Isabel Holmes. We hope it will speed you up a little, Isabel. Robert Stewart's grades show that he is a very good farmer. Here's a little tractor to start out with, Bob. This Greenfield Times is for Clarice Schil- ler so she will always be reminded of that boy who works there. To Denver Stultz we give this cod liver oil so he will grow just a little bit more. We bestow this jar of cold cream on Jean Anne Spargur. We suggest that you clean off some of that rouge, jean Anne. To Esther Smalley we give this tablet so she will always have enough paper to write notes to Betty Ruth Purdin. We give this little roadster to Gertrude Thompson so she can dash around outside just as she does on the dance floor. To remind Edward Watts of the days back in the grades, we give him this picture of Edith Kennedy. This Kitten goes to Kenneth Peake, so he will always remember Roseanne Fairley. Because she is such a goody goody, we give this package of f'goodies to Wyoma Powell. This pair of knitting needles is to be given to Betty Ruth Purdin. We don't think you have enough knitted clothes, Betty Ruth. Alice Moomaw receives this blank tablet. We suggest that you write a book on it, entitled, My 1001 Foolish Questions. So that Robert Morgan will learn to talk about someone beside himself, we give him this copy of a good newspaper. Read more than the funnies, Robert. Thelma Iseman rates this mirror so she can look into it and realize that she has no need to be so self-conscious. Martha Judkins receives this mask. Martha, you may wear it when you donlt feel like smil- ing -we don't like that forced smile. This paper hat is our gift to John D. Miller. We're sure that it will fit no matter how large your head gets, John. Also We sug- gest that it will look very nice with that pup tent you wear. We present these chicks from Beery's to Floyd Matlack. Does this remind you of the girl who works there, Floyd. This little soap box goes to Oleta Murphy. With this and the help of james Fay Evans, maybe someday you will be a great auctioneer, Oleta. This hook and sinker we give to Mariellen Narcross. We hear you have the line, Mari- ellen. This book entitled Learning How to Mind Your Own Businessj' is our gift to Helen Pen- well. Dean LeFevre is to have this block of Wood to remind him of Ruth. So that people can know they are around, we give Mary Cannon and Lorraine Rutherford these rattles. Make a little noise, girls. We give Ann Louise Kyle this steamship ticket so she can go see that good looking French correspondent that Billy is so jealous of. William Taylor, here is a June Bugl' just to remind you of June Everman, whenever you are lonely. On the other hand, maybe it's a love bug. So that james Losey will learn to get in earlier and get more sleep, we give him this watch. To Ruth Ladd goes this magic slate-so she may write boy's names to her heart's content, and never run out of space. Last but not least, to our class president, George Hixson, we give this can of oil, so that he can take some of the squaks out of his voice. If anyone feels displeasure over his or her gift do not blame us-as we are only agents for the mighty Jupiter, doner of good and bad gifts, rewarding noble and false deeds of the past four years. 7? MARTHA COCKERILL JOHN CLEMENTS CAROL SKEEN Miss MARTHA DARRAH, adviser Gifts UPON this grave and serious occasion and after the most conscientious and careful consideration, the committee be- stows the following degrees upon the members of the senior class of 1938. Because George Hixson, our honorable class president, is always seen with a different girl we give him the degree C. C. - Class Casanova. Upon John Clements, who is being awaited by Weslyan University with open gates, is be- stowed the degree W. A. -Weslyan's Anticipa- tion. Theodora Clouser is such a good clarinetest, that to her goes the degree M. T.-Master Tooter. Last year, if you have the ability to remem- ber that far back,Athelia Thompson and Vernon Mills willed their lover-like ways to Gene Foraker and Bernadine Dodds. We think they have made the most of their bequest, so to Bernadine we give the degree F. C. L. C. - Forakerls Chubby Little Choice. Since it is the habit of Ruth Ann Wilson's mother to accompany her on dates every now and then, Ruth Ann earns the degree T. T. M. A. S.-Tied to Mother's Apron Strings. Penny's Inn could never get along without Clarice Whitley, so to her goes the degree P. P. W. - Penny's Perfect Waitress. To Ellis Fullwiler and Charles Felkey, who are always seen together, we give the degree M. I. T. - McClain's Identical Twins. Since Roseanne Fairley has reached the Peake of her high school career, an appropri- ate degree for her seems to be P. D. - Peake's Diz. june Everman visited Waverly Schools just enough this year to be told that she was needed for the girl's basketball team. The coach told her that she was the biggest girl he had ever seen. Upon June we confer the degree W. W. -Whatta Woman. James Ellison has the distinction of being the first and only Alaskan born lad to graduate from McClain, so to him is given the degree A. B. - Alaskan Baby. Margaret Hall's initials backwards, plus O is her honorary degree. H. M. Stands for Harold Miller and the O. for one and only. To Jane Emery, who is always walking off with scholastic honors - graduating in three years with a high average both in academic and commercial subjects, we give her the degree S. P. - Stenographical Prodigy. On Mary Etta Cahallis diploma we engrave the degree C. G. D. Mary Etta likes her good times, and who, after all, isn't a Class Gold Digger. Because of John Lang's boxing ability, he merits the degree F. F. C.-Future Flyweight Champion.

McClain's senior class almost had to gradu- ate without one of itflloldest standbys. To Emilie Jean Hill, who retur .ed to us this last semester and who was an inciispensable prompter of the senior play, goes t Promptress. e degree P.

The world loves aklover and so does Dorothy Bryant, so to her w Love and Kisses. The degree S. B. give the degree L. K.- M. goes to Denver Stultz -- Small But Mighty. Several degrees could be conferred upon Mary Louise Wagner, but since she is the only member of the senior a day ofschool in best degree for her class who has never missed er life, we think that the iould be M. P. P.-Mc- Clain's Perfect Pupil. To Leona Althou E. - Big Brown Ey To Jo Handley on dad or collect on Delivered to school e e we give the degree B. B. s e give C. O.

To James Losey Master Mechanic. It is understood to be married after goes the degree M. M.- that Floyd Matlack plans graduation so the degree A. M. - Almost Married -is given him. Isabel Holmes is a quiet lass who never shirks her duty. S. L. B. :is her degree, our own Shy Little Beauty. Betty june Hollis is so short and chubby that there seemed o -Short and Chubb y one degree for her, S. C. We understand that Bernice Beatn was a star on Bourneville's girlls basketball team, so to her we give the degree C. C. - Cage Champ. john D. Miller earns the degree S. H. M. - Swell Headed Miller. ,Nuff said. Because Kenneth Peake thinks he's so hand- some, we give him the degree P. B.-Pretty Boy. At least Roseanne Fairley thinks so. jean Anne Spargur has a terrible time de- ciding which boy to go with-first it's John Daniel, then someone else, then john Daniel again, so upon her we confer the degree C. S. - Changeable Sparg. Because of her ability to model, we think Oleta Murphy deserves the degree M. M.- Modeling Murphy. For Leslie Pointer's zeal in learning to drive a car we give him the degree A. C.-Aspiring Chauffeur. To Erma King, the quietest member of our class, goes the degree C. A. Q. - Cute and Quiet. Because Robert Pyle just seems to drift around doing nothing, we give him the degree J. D. - Just a Drifter. To Ann Kyle we give the degree B. O. A. O. - Billyis One and Only. 'Nuff said. Joan Depoy has been remarbable through school for her musical ability. Since she will probably continue the good work, her degree is M. A. M. -- Mad About Music. We give Robert Jackson the degree M. S. M Master of Swing. What would we do without Martha Cocker- ill's sunny disposition to cheer up the whole class. Next year her influence is going to be felt on Miamils campus. We give her the degree M. R. S.-Miami's Ray of Sunshine. It is rumored about that Gertrude Thomp- son is going to get married as soon as she gradu- ates. We take this opportunity to give her the degree A. P. W.-A Perfect Wife. To Martha judkins who turns her most ard- ent affections toward the lower classmen, in- cluding the freshman, sophomore, and junior classes, we give the degree C. C. R.-Class Cradle Robber. To Paul Karnes, who has the ability to ask more dumb questions than Mary Etta Cahall, goes the degree J. D. - just Dumb. Because Dean LeFevre can't seem to break away from Spring street, we give him the degree O. R. -Only Ruthis. To Lorainne Rutherford and Mary Cannon we give the degree I. P. - Inseparable Pals. Helen Penwell is going to take up nurse's training as a career, and since she has already made a good start here at McClain, we give her the degree M. F. N.-McClain's Florence Nightingale. The degree we have bestowed upon Esther Smalley is rather a long one, but it is se1f-ex- planatory. It is N. S. W. G. B. - Not Satisfied With Greenfield Boys. Hugh Hull can have only one degree. That is S. W. - Science Wizard. For the way Lucille Ware mistreats John Ashling, we give him the degree H. P. J. - Hen- Pecked Johnny. It seems that Clarice Schiller just can't get along with Mr. Brubaker, so we think she de- serves the degree B. P. - Brubaker's Pest. To Betty Ruth Purdin goes the degree C. E. - Class Egotist. ,Nuff said. To all us Lauren Bellar is J. F. - just Frenchie. Wyoma Powell has been able to hold Russell Gaul for several years without a bit of trouble. We give her the degree S. H. H. M. - She Holds Her Man. Only one degree can be conferred upon Thelma Iseman, and it is T. D. B. - Tall, Dark, and Beautiful. Robert Gray gets the degree T. P.-Not teacher's pet but Teachers Problem. We have had a terrible time thinking of just the degree for Jane Clyborn. We could acknowl- edge her sweet disposition or her impish ways, or we could recognize and commend her on her good work in the senior class play. We have chosen the latter, thus giving her the degree H. M . - Hollywood Material. We think that Edward Watts should be a member of the Liars' Club. He can make up some pretty tall stories sometimes, so we give him the degree N. L. C. C.-National Liars' Club Champ. William Taylor certainly thinks a lot of him- self. To hear him tell about his troubles, you would think that he was the only one ever to have any so to him goes the degree M. T. B.- have any, so to him goes the degree M. T. B. -- Because Robert Morgan is always in the midst of building an airplane model, hoping someday to be a world famous aviator, we give him the degree T. T. W. B. - The Third Wright Brother. Last but not least we have Mariellen Nar- cross. who is always worrying about her health fas if she shouldj. To her we give the degree A. H. H. -Antedeluviated Hyperbolical Hypo- chondriac. If you don't know what it means, look it up in the dictionary. It is our hope that these degrees will be cherished by each and every one upon whom they have been conferred and that none will hold malice against us. SARA LoUIsE CALDWELL ALICE MOOMAW WILLIAM HARPER Mrss R. ISABEL BUCK, adviser Degrees LET us imagine the watches, clocks, and Big Bens of the world racing onward at terrific speed. Time is fiying - 1940- 1945 - 1949 to 1950, when suddenly there is a great explosion in the laboratory of that famous scientist Cloyce E. Booher, and time stands still. We shall grasp this moment, when motion takes a holiday, to look down from our space ship onto the world, where each of the widely-scattered members of the never- to-be-forgotten class of 1938 is automatically arrested in a momentary pause in his daily task. In Washington, D. C., is George Burch Hix- son, the famous politician recently appointed as Secretary of Agriculture. . . At last the farmer gets a break! In Greenwich Village, New York, we spy Alice Moomaw, Artistls smock and all, working hard at her easel. Alice has produced several famous paintings, but she always forsakes the monetary reward to stay in her picturesque garret. In another section of this great city, We see a large restaurant. It is managed by Miss Clarice Whitley, who was made Hamburger Queen of New York in 1948. Still looking around New York, we find Rev. John Clements, pastor of Riverside Church, en- gaged in a ceremony-a marriage ceremony- why, itls John Ashling, the hardware magnate, and Lucille Ware! We never thought john Louis could hold out that long. Over New York we see the largest Zeppelin in the world, just completed by Robert Morgan. It is so large that Robert has to fly from one end to the other in his little mosquito plane. Louis Armsrong is no more! He has been replaced by that King of Swing, Sonny jack- son, of the Harlem Cotton Club. Two of f'Sonny's'l singers are none other than Mary Cannon and Lorainne Rutherford. What a shame the girls didn't let us in on their talent! We have another musician in New York right now. Mary Alice Bowers has taken Ina Ray Hutton's place, and now leads her band of swingsters. Madame Sara Caldwell, the foremost woman lecturer in the world, has just returned from Paris. She has been stopped in the middle of one of her mighty orations The Man's Place is in the Homef, Remember Bernice Beath? She is now the owner and manager of a large exclusive dress shop on Fifth Avenue. The headlines proclaim that Isabel Holmes has just broken another speed record. She has gone to the moon and returned in 56 hours. Dean LeFevre is to be found at Princeton, since his theories on the subject of Metaphysi- cal Correlations among Molecular Emanations and Associated Quanta have made obsolete Ein- steins older and more simple theory of Relativity. Last year, Professor LeFevre shared the Nobel Prize in Science with Robert Pyle, with whom he Prophecy ! collaborated in the discovery of the sixthdi- mension. It seemsithat they overlooked the fifth dimension, butlgthat doesn't bother them. Well, well, well No fewer than five mem- bers of the class of ,38 have ended up in- the circus game. John Lang, Denver Stultz, and William Jury, are i the Garman and Gailey Circus.

Looking farther westward, we come to dear Old Ohio, where most of our class have stayed. There we see Greenfield, the old home town. Will miracles never cease Seated in the Mayorls office in no other than Mr. Robert C. Gray, having followed the govern- mental training he r ceived as president of the Student Senate in 1918. Robert is presenting a plan to repair the Ol twelve years, Council d Town Hall. For about has debated about build- ing a new one.

She is now a home loving house wife on a farm -just halfway between Leesburg and Rainsboro. Wyoma Powell has finally combined busi- ness with pleasure. She is a very, very private secretary in the new Gaul's Guitar Store. What's this? A new column in the Green- field Times? The head is Friendship for all,U and its most able editor is Leona Althouse. We should have expected something like this, for in school she was never seen without a smile or a friendly word. Miss Martha Cockerill has finally achieved her ambitions. She heads the National Bird and Flower Conservation League of Ohio. How- ever, as we see her now, she is out in a big field picking petals off daisies. Pearl Crago has taken over the Famous Variety Store and made a great success of it. We always knew she would be good for some- thing. Dorothy Bryant has taken over the Home Economics Department of the State, and super- vises five hundred teachers. Good enough! And who is peeking around that corner down there? It must be jane Emery, now a secret service agent. Her greatest enemy is her own talkativeness. She talks herself into service and talks herself out of secrets. At the edge of a Columbus swimming pool, we see William Harper, a future Olympic pros- pect-he is still waiting for the gun to go off. There is someone over there playing with several guinea pigs and rats -well! It's Betty Ruth Purdin, a laboratory technician of Dayton. Where are all those people going in Green- field? Oh yes, that's where Lauren Bellar, the best soda-jerker in Southern Ohio is, people come from miles just to see him throw a straw- berry soda together. Speaking of such trades as that, we remem- ber jean Anne Spargur went to Cincinnati to be a nurse - but something must have happened, for we see her now the most efficient Waitress at Kresge's fountain. Several more of our class are in Cincinnati. John D. Miller, who always had a desire for the big league baseball, is down there carrying water for the Cincinnati Reds. Oleta Murphy is modeling clothes in a fash- ionable shop. She must have received her train- ing at the Rolling Pin Style Show of 1938. Carol Skeen is teaching German in a high school there. They say her red hair dazzles all her pupils so they're not learning much. Helen Penwell has finally become a. full fledged nurse, we see her now catering to the will of a wealthy patient. Much to the disappointment of other nurses, Mary Etta Cahall met and married a handsome interne and left the hospital. Now she is resid- ing in Cincinnati. Jane Clyborn is now the prosperous pro- prietress of the general store in Rainsboro. They say she can hang on a party line longer than any one around there. Floyd Matlack and james Losey are work- ing on a device to transmit scents through the ether. T hey dream of being able to tune in on the delicious fragrance of Chase-and-Sanborn every Sunday evening! Incidentally, Floyd has been living on his farm near Greenfield since June of '38, when he married Mary Alice. In Washington Court House we see Theo- dora Clouser as an assistant in an undertaking establishment there. We see one member of our class settled down to placid existence as a housewife in Green- field. It is that quiet, demure one, Clarice Schiller. Well, what a surprise this is! Ellis Full- wiler is playing a Iew's harp with Hoosier Hot Shots. Poor boy, he wanted to be a jack of All Trades! Charles Ely and Paul Karnes, famous the world over for their fine apples, are now engaged in an attempt to develop a cross between a pickle and a crabapple. They have been in partnership since 1939 when Charles married Dorothy Karnes. In old Chicago we find Edward Watts has risen to great heights in his former occupation. He is Shoe Shining King of America. Several of our members have made names for themselves .in the motion picture business. Charles Kelkey has replaced Nelson Eddy in Hollywood. He must have received his training as a great lover during his high school days! Marjorie Handley is also in Hollywood, tak- ing the place, not of Mae West, but of that grand character actress Beula Bondi. We think that the Senior Class Play gave jo her start. The name of Margaret Hall is now seen on the picture reels before the shows. She has taken her place as a famous dress designer. Esther Smalley is Margaret's capable assistant. But that is not all of our class. There are three members abroad. Having had much ex- perience in the Greenfield Home Guards, Wil- liam Taylor has given up all old ties and we see him now in the middle of the Sahara desert with the Foreign Legion. Joan Depoy has gained the position of organist in the Notre Dame Cathedral in France. Nice work if you can get it! And last, but obviously not least, Mariellen Narcross is a missionary in Japan. Right now, sheis trying to reform the Mikado. But as we see this, the great clock of the world seems to have been repaired, the years start rolling and Time Marches On! l i MARTHA JUDKINS HUGH HULL ANN KYLE Miss ADELAIDE SHULL, advisor - Prophec W-E, the Seniors Class of Edward Lee McClain high school, city of Green- field, Highland county, state of Ohio, United States of America, in the year of our Lord one thousand nine hundred thirty-eight, being in possession of our unusual, superior mentality, and realizing that the lower classmen of Mc- Clain High School have need of many of our unusual qualities, do hereby bequeath the fol- lowing mentioned property to persons designated, and declare this to be our last will and testa- ment.

Everyone likes Erma King because of her striking personality. She wills her ways to Nena Parales. 36. Some students like Washington and some like Hillsboro, but Helen Penwell likes Springfield. She leaves the right to visit there to anyone who doesn't like Bill Allen. Be care- ful, Helen, you might have some competition. 37.

Make up your mind, Purl, for you have us guessin'. 42. Oleta Murphy is very quiet and timid. She gets this trait from always listening to an auctioneer.

Mary Etta, June and I, were chosen to write this paper because it would take up too much time and space to tell all the good points and characteristics about us.
