The ITlirror “You have come just at the right time because I am invited to have tea tomorrow with our dear little friend, Geneva Saxton, now Mrs. Nelson Rockefeller.” “Yes, she has often invited me over for dinner and she is the dearest little hostess. I know she will be delighted to have you come.” “Really! Well, Lillian Kuehl could play wonderfully when she was in school. So she is in New York at the height of success and popularity. You do not know when she is coming to Chicago? I certainly would enjoy hear- ing her play.” “Do I remember Erick Stark? I certainly do. He took the part of “Togo” in our operetta. Now he is a lawyer in San Francisco. It certainly is surprising to hear how splendidly the Senior class of 1928 is doing since we all left high school.” “I guess we have mentioned all of our classmates except one, so to finish it up I have a surprise for you. If you will be so kind as to accompany me tonight, we will go to the Auditorium to hear Lucile Pierce sing. You re- member she took the part of “Miss Cherrvblossom” in the operetta.” “Yes, she is married. I do not know her husband’s name, but he was her singing teacher. They will only remain in Chicago until tomorrow so we must go and hear her sing tonight.” CLASS WILL We. the class of 1928 of Merrillville High School, do hereby make this last will and testament bequeathing the following to our friends and heirs: First — We. the Senior class of 1928, forward all rights to the honor and enviable position of being Seniors.

The mirror — + ■+ + + Toward the end of the year we came in sight of the Land of (ireatei isdom. I hen each Senior with diploma in hand set foot on this new land, rejoicing because of the wonderful voyage just completed. Using the knowl- edge acquired, the class of ’28 feel that the voyage shall not have been taken in vain. SENIOR CLASS PROPHECY “An old friend to see me? Yes, Doctor, I will he right down. 1 wonder who it can be.” Why, hello, Rose! It has surely been a long time since I saw you. What! You are going to stay in Chicago and teach athletics? My, that is wonderful! No, I do not have a case just now so you mav stav as long as you like and we will talk of old times. It hardly seems possible that we have not seen each other since we graduated from Merrillville High School ten years ago.” ’Wes. I enjoy nursing very much, but it is hard work and it took a great deal of studying to graduate. Tell me. what is Edna Cole doing now? Isn’t that splendid! Teaching in Merrillville High School since she giaduated from college! Oh. yes, I heard from Frances Crisman recently.” “Yes, she is a librarian in Washington. D. C. Wasn ' t it just too cute for anything the way Louella Prott and Elmer Strong eloped? I have heard that Elmer is, a very successful banker in Cleveland. John Kiefer has be- come a very great violinist.” “No, I did not know that he was in Italy studying. And you say that he is coming home with his bride next month? An Italian Countess? Reallv that is such a surprise that I can hardly believe it.” — . — „ . „ n Page seventeen ■■ - — — .. M I i) L O .«|i +
