P. eniov Class oem Now we close the gate to our school career And sit in happy thought, Reliving in 'fond reveries The joys our school days have brought. Now, we pause for a brief moment, Fondly gaze and hesitate, Happy days for us are ended, Memories for us only wait. Tho' alone we now are standing Amid many in the throng, We shall ever keep on striving Tho' the road is drear and long. With a goodbye half in sorrow, Half in joy we say good-night, As we leave for ere behind us Our dear school, our chief delight. YYY

Thus ends the strange tale involving a group of circumstances that brought the classmates AAA let me introduce to you all the members of our group. Let me assure you that they are the world's most famous actors. Ah, allow me to begin here with our manager, Mr. Herman Ballmer. There is none other half as good. Next is the widely known lion-tamer who fears nothing, Mr. Raymond Staub. arid then, last but not least is our famous midget aerialist, Miss Marguerite Conn. l am certainthat we are glad to make your acquaintance but, there is one thing you are forgetting my friend. and that is to introduce yourself. replied John. Thereupon, the manager arose and said. Oh! yes, we cannot forget him. He is the oldest and spriest man in our circus. Mr. P. E. Teegardinf' Everyone was having a great time getting acquainted when there was heard a sudden knock- ing at the door. Opening it, they saw two frightened women. Every one was astonished at the stqry the women fMrs. Irene Johnson Hooverand Miss Marceil Shaneyfeltl told. They related that they were enjoying a vacation trip until their chauffeur stole their car, and all of their possessions and then disappeared into the hills. Everything was a tumult of excitement while the people were making preparations to go into town after the sheriff and the thief. However. before they reached the little town, strange things were happening there. In the first place, several people had seen a big car driving around the town, and. of course, that was something new for them. Later. the car had driven up to the only gas station for a few minor repairs and some gas. Then 'the driver attempted to get away without paying. However, the sheriff, Arthur'Smith. a very skillful man with a gun, was too quick for the thief, and made his escape impossible. While Mr. Smith. with the help of a few other men was taking the culprit to jail. the group from John's, farm house arrived in town. Their first thought was to find the sheriff. un- til Mrs. Hoover spied her chauffeur and exclaimed, There he is. They've already captured him. Two days later the small court room was filled to capacity. Besides the group from the mountain home. there were many people there just for curiosity. The room suddenly became very quiet as the judge, a very heavy set man walked slowly into the room. Following him came the Clerk of Courts. the lawyer. and the accused man. The trial was rather lengthy for the old judge, Honorable James Aukerman. had every little incident discussed in detail. whether important or not, by the lawyer O. W. Hawes, Esq. The trial had not proceeded far until the group was astonished to discover that the judge. theilawyer and the clerk. Miss Hatch- er, were all their old school teachers. Because of this discovery, everyone was so excited that the prisoner escaped and was unnoticed. One by one the mountaineers left for their homes and fin- ally only the one time seniors and their dear teachers were left alone enjoying their reminis- censes. of 1936 together under one roof forty years later. enior Class ou THE WILD OATS BOY Cast of Characters Aunt Anne, housekeeper in Uncle George's home Judy.
