Under the able leadership of our ihstructors, . we soared through tho clouds of Algebra, English, and Biology We began the second lap of our long journey with only 30 passengers aboard, having left some behing at the last air- , pprt. For this journey we again were fortunate in securing . Mr. Houchin as pilot. We flew over Mt. Latin and battled against the stfong tail winds of Ancient History. Then Alasl we began to lose altitude as we circled Geometry, but the w.inds shifted- in our favor and we pulled out of the forboding tail-spin, ahd landed safely on the field at. Junior Airport.. We encountered many difficulties but also many new and . wonderful experiences- on the third lap of our flight. This . time Mr. Rumbaugh took over the controls and proved himself . a resourceful and competent pilot. Edith Swanson of Crown . Point joined the ranks of the Jolly Junior Air Corps on this, third lap. On the 16th of May, we took, the seniors on board- and entertained them at a banquet in their honor. We have every reason to believe that it was much of a success as . the Junior Dance given sometinc previous. Oh, yes, our ranks were again lessened by two, first, when Geneva Burge decided, to take up matrimony and .second, when Thomas Peauignot was called away to an Everlasting Sleep. A joyous day it was indeed, when after refueling our . trust}- old airship with the oil of knowledge and the grease . of experience, we boarded it for the last time and once ' more % left our homo port to soar Into the realm of knowledge. On and ever onward, wo riiif or o a way through the sullen Clouds of Bookoopin: , over the vast Ocean of English, and doirn throw ph the pencivo. nr.se of govern .crt . Some of t ' e class even rent so far as to soar over f ' c eels of Public Speak- ing. (Vr flight is nearly completed when --what ’ 2 this? — we’re dropping. Oh, I see, t’ e pilot’s levelling off and two of our hoys arc preparing to take a par a chi’ te jump. Happy landings, hoys, and we v ope yon contact Tether Educat- ion next --ear a,nd try the flight againl ' Jell, we not? have only 15 of t’e ripinal 32 who be r un t c journey. Fasten your safety -holts, everybody, we’re going to land I !Tow that we have landed, let us consider some of the things vie have rained during our journey. Somewhere along the route we have accumulated a few ideas v Perhaps these are not important in thems elves, hut we must remember that ideas beget ideas,. Then there are some ideas or notions .that we have discarded, believing it is sometimes as import ant to unlearn things as to learn them. YJo know that we arive at sound conclusions through investigation and logical thinking. Y’c know that unbound notions are accumulated vrttb out effort., t ' e knew that it is the qua l Icy of scarcity that gives sense its value, Y.’e, no doubt, believe many things 1 • simply because they arc comforting to us. Y e hope we can distinguish between uncommon sense and c oration nonsense t If we are -accused of being impractical, wo answer our critics them that it ;• e by informing bine to i. move their definition of 11 A metical, If seine of- cur ideas are , idealisitc, they v.

If our time is to bo divided be- tween 3 iving and . aking n living, wo are sure bleat the abil- ity to read and enjoy food literature. is just as practical as the knowledge of how to harness a horse. If you disagree with ‘the foregoing statement, we accuse you of being in- practical in - our definition of practical. 1 ' In other words, vre be?. i eve that t is as important to livo as to ' make a liv- ing. Though we have alighted from the good ship, H.TI.S., we shall scon take -jap our fli ht again. • But -this time wc will bo flying our individual planes, be are our own pilots, and wliSi-c wc land and how vre land, will depend on our individual skill and initiative.

Once again Hay is here: the grass is green; the flowers 1 are in bloom; and the birds are chirping with gayety and con- . tentmcnt. But it is not the Hay of old 1937; instead it is a . .new Hay, an even happier and more prosperous time. To be de- finite, it is Hay, 1962, and the day of the annual reunion of the Class of. ' 37 fror.1 good ol ' llerrillviile High School. The ! .place is the beautiful lawn of Paradise Park near the calm .waters of a silver lake. The surface is dotted with small . -white sailboats that .skim lightly o ' er it. About the park . are tall trees that sway gently in the cool afternoon breeze, .swaying back and forth with the same raeloncholy, quiet, and . easy swing of a huge penulur. as it slowly counts out each min- . ute., day, and year until, young boys become men and old men . -have passed on. An abundance of wild flowers speckle the green, {n large and well-cared rock gardens are f r ' esL-bloom- ’. 4ng flowers, filling the spring atmosphere with their sweet . aroma. . Under the trees in a pleasing atmosphere of fresh grass, . newly-blooming flowers, and ancient pines can be seen a gay, ! laughing party of middle aged men and women. A luncheon is . being spread on the ground by some of the women, while the . others busy themselves about, shaking ' hands, laughing, and . joking over their old ' school experiences. In time the con- . fusion and. excitement of meeting old classmates again abates, . and the party seat themselves in a large circle in the shade ’. of an enormous treb, scarred and -orn from a century of ex- posure. - ' ’ As ' the party sets to work on its . over it. A tall, middle-aged man, hearty meal , cresumably a a hush falls • minister — hus-- 1 band to one of the class-rises to address the party. After . speaking in slow, quiet tones for a few moments, he again take his seat. The floor is then taken by a chairman; he is not a 1 member of the class. He delivers a speech of welcome, and . then with a queer smile on his lips, he calls upon the differ- . ent members of the class to tell something of their history . for the past quarter of a century and their present standing, 1 or as much of it as they care to relate. . The details of their biographies probably would not inter- . est an outsider, but I am sure a brief sketch of each would. . Ella Demmon was called upon first. She had been nead nurse . in the Laiman Lacy Hospital in Chicago. She was in charge of . many important cases, one of them being the case in whicn she . had helped to find a cure for the cancer. She had. also attend . ed John Hecimovich after he had fallen in a thimble of hot . steel while inspecting his mills. . Andrew Schoppel was next to clasp his hands behind his back . and proudly relate his experiences. He had started his career 1 . as feeder on a butterfly ranch and had worked up until he is now owner of a large stock farm in Nebraska. . Dorothy Piske, always the good secretary, related that she . was secretary of a great movement for advanced education and . more efficient standards of living. She was advocating quali. 1 ications for elective offices and eugenics as means to these . ends. . Next to reveal his experiences in the world was Martin Luebcke. Always having advocated a hotter means of handling the nation ' s milk supply, he was now director of the Safe-from Bacteria Milk Association. But things had not all been running smoothly, for he was running competition with a oheap subs- titute for milk, made from gound cracker crumbs and sulpher water. It then became Ruth Struebig ' s turn at the wheel. She was a music teacher at the Skreech Music Academy for Young Women. She had set a record on the big trombone for playing the scale in sixty- one hundredths of a second. Helen Keilman had long been private secretary to Eddie Cantor. She made the astounding reoord of disoovering the un- derlying leap feeling expressed in his jokes. Rita Krieter was the famous woman lawyer whose name had so often filled the front pages of the newspapers. Her fame had . soared from the time she had defended the Merrillvill basket- • ball team in a suit against the German Leaguers. Cora and Dora Roberts may be heard over radio station WIND every evening at seven o ' clock. They are in such de- mand that most of the stations use recoioings by them.. John Heoimovich, often called the man of iron 11 by his friends, is president of the Gary Steel Mills. He has in.ro- • duced the four-hour day and raised the minimum wage to seven . dollars per day in order to encourage a higher standard of living. Dorothy Poop next took the spotlight. She had reached the. height of her ambition when she became famous as a torch sin- . crer. A newsboy once remarked while watching a juggler peri arm., ’. . • . . ... . . ... after Dorothy had left the stage, that juggling of four balls. J between his hands looked like Dorothy Popp trying to watch her ex-husbands go by. Edward Nelson had also reached the heights. As a geologist, at Oxford, he had discovered the skeleton of Adam in an apple, orchard near the school. Ruth Luebcke had spent a great deal of -her time in China as. a missionary. After many years of tedious work she had fin- . • . • r ally convinced the children to take a bath at least ones a year. ’Melvin Fraikin is nov an automobile manufacturer in Detroit He ' drew the original clans for the new Zepher auto; 1 ffh’? S i Ut o • has eight wheels and an engine in the rear. Barbara Schmidt is the famed composer of the .late song hit,. Just a One Room Apartment and You. .She is at the ' present leading an orchestra made up entirely of wojpen. No, there are no presidents or presidents ' wives, no nation- al heroes or heroines, and no millionaires or millionaires ' - wives — all the members of this class being honest and upright. citizens. But the class is extremely wealthy, if you con- sider happiness, contentment, and service to their fellow- citizens as wealth. There are no saints among them; yet, « • yet there are no good-for-nothings. They are just fifteen good actors who know how to make the best of their sho ' rt time ’t j • • upon the. .stage of life. y Sept. Sept . Sept . Sept. Oct. Oct. Oct. Oct. Nov. Nov. Nov. N o v . Nov.
