O O iOiOO'rHs RIDGE MIRROR' ' 192816 SENIOR CLASS PROPHECY NE evening in June, 1938, after a hard day's work in our designer's shop in New York, we thought of taking a coast to coast trip to see the many sights which were not yet unfolded to our eyes. Before we left we went to see our old high school friend, Erla Chittock, who is opera- ting a beauty parlor on Fifth Avenue. Her helper, Mary Louise Pearsall, is soon to become the wife of a wealthy New York banker. On our trip westward we stopped at Ohltown to find none other than Gladys Phillips teaching Latin in the Vniversity of that city. While in that neighborhood, we learned that Agnes Stuhldreher was a quiet capable nurse in the St. Elizabeth's Hospital. At Fort Wayne. Indiana, whom did we meet butour old class mate. Bernice MeMahan. During our conversation we learned that she had erected a millinery shop on Jackson Street. Leaving this state. the next place of importance was our stop in Chicago. While there we espied a familiar face at the wheel of one of the recently invented Armored taxies. The driver turned out to be our old school mate John Rose. After a few minutes of consulation we learned that he had. after four years of risky driving in Chicago, made himself the inventor of this new taxi, and was at the head of the company. While in St. Louis. we stopped at a theater and heard to our surprise, the well-cul- lured voice of Bernice Williams, with Claire Simpson at the piano. We certainly were amazed at the wonderful accomplishment they had made with their grand opera interests. Wandering on thru Omaha, Nebraska,we met Marion Lynn enroute to Des Moines as representative of the May-Tag Washer, with Olive Heeter as demonstrator. In Hollywood we paid a visit to the studio, where, to our surprise we found our talk- ative friend Esther Matthews preparing for a noted picture. After learning that Mary Daley was located in Dallas.Texas we stopped there on our return trip to call on her. She had taken up public speaking at various club meetings. We found Lou Rene Laramey in Jackson. Mississippi, with her husband as an evangelist. Going through a fertile valley along the Mississippi river we passed a large farm which we afterwards learned was owned and managed by Henry Young. Back to our starting point at New York, we will resume our work, having had the pleasure of meeting our old friends again. Jeanette Anderson Arrnia Lejfingwell Tuienlyifour

VL1928 - THE RIDGE MIRROR - 1928 We started on our last year's journey with Mr. Taylor as pilot. Mary Louise Pearsall was selected class president. This year we organized our first foot-ball squad. Henry Young who was the only Senior on the squad, was also captain. Being the first Senior Class we wanted a record of our high school memories, so we organized an Annual Staff. We have at last reached our destination, the joys of happy commencement week. Since our Freshman year vast changes have taken place. Many of our classmates have dropped from our ranks, much to our regret, and have already taken up various lines of work. Although they will not be able to share the finished yet beginning on the eve of Commencement we shall always remember them as members of the class of twenty- eight. Now the time has come, when the members of the class have finished their high school careers and are considering different vocations. We leave the never to be forgot- ten school. which has sheltered and instructed us for four short years, regretfully, yet eagerly, with firm determinations in our minds to have Ridge High School ever proud of the Class of '28.
