ll, JI P. M.-By the way, you remember Mimi McGovern. She goes by the name of Madame Mimi now and is running a fashionable hairdressing establishment in New York. Her most fashionable coiffure is the new laquer hairdress. The elite of the city pay plenty to achieve the desired effect, but we remember Mim iwhen she lacquered her own. Well, busi- ness was good until Harriet Aplin, while preparing for her twenty-third debut, lost all of her hair, due to careless treatment at Mimi's. Dr. Ray Starnes, president of the Gros-lik Weeds tonic manufacturers, had promised to restore her beautiful greying locks by stimulating the brain, causing cellulose to grow. However, after a more thorough examination, he stated that he couldn't grow enough hair from her brain to cover the head of a flea. V. D. fpicking up Police Gazettel-Police have found, on investi- gating the murder of Howie the Heartbreaker Tice, prominent gang- ster, that the deed was committed by Honky Tonk Tormey, his former moll. She was assisted by Hatchet-Head Dondelinger, for reasons best known to himself. Me-Catchum McKee of the Intelligence Dept., said: If we catch them, the dame will fry, by jing. P. M.-On November 1, Lowell Semans started his final campaign speech for president of the United States. He was assassinated by Sure- Shot Kempel on the fourth, at the climax of his speech. V. D.-Look at this snappy ad for Two-Bit Tillie Bates' new night club. Among her famous dime-a-dance girls are: Mary Annis, Eleanor Davies, Vivian Vermilyea, Anita Hurry, Ethel Parrett, Alice Hager and Dallas McConkey. This club also features gigolos that understand mis- understood women. Among these are Carl Riecke, Herbert Bradbury, Selmer Hegvold and Thomas Hersey. The representatives of the Tem- perance Guild. Eleanor Jenks and Flora Harbart, demanded that Governor Petersdorf either close the doors or get them jobs dancing there. P. M.-Our class is well represented in the financial world. On the board of directors for the new bank are Honest John Talbot, Bob f Hold- up Harrv J Short, and Perry the Pincher Conners. V. D.-I suppose you remember Dub Kenton. Well, he and Har- riet Dowdell Kenton have reached fame and fortune with the largest dairy farm in the country. Professor Kenton has just discovered a pro- cess which causes cows to give chocolate milk. P. M.--Here, read this. V. D.-Why, it's an announcement of Bernard Johnson's graduation. P. M.-Did you hear about Admiral Nepstad, who caught John Elliot flirting with his fiance, Ardis Prouty, and while trying to shoot him wit'h a twelve-inch gun he blew the bottom out of the ship? Radio Operator Harvey Ransom immediately sent out the S. O. S. A thrilling rescue was made by Captain Dickey of the Crook Tour Company.

HISTORY OF CLASS OF '34 . The career of the Class of 734 coincides with the period of the de- pression. We entered as Freshmen in the first year of the panic, and we are leaving High School at the apparent return of prosperity. But the slump in business did not, by any means, cause a slump in school activities. On the contrary, in many cases the very opposite has been true. It was in our Freshman year that the new Athletic Field was opened, and our class put on an excellent play, The Absent-Minded Bridegroomf' The only set-back which we experienced during this year of our high school days was the defeat of our second team in football by Plankinton, by a score of 9G-0. As Sophomores we enjoyed Senior High very much, after we had be- come used to being referred to as those lousy little Sophomoresf' Our class put on no play that year, but this was somewhat alleviated by the fact that our basketball team won the State Tournament, for the first time in the history of the school. Our Junior year gave us our first opportunity to manageschool busi- ness, when we put on an unusually fine Junior-Senior Prom on a greatly reduced budget. We also staged The C-harm School before a large and appreciative house. The boys of our Senior Class were the first in the history of Mitchell High to have the opportunity to sign up for Home Eic. This proved to be a very popular course. As Seniors, we presented the play, 'It Never Rains, which is so appropriate for our state. Our basketball team, with six of our class on the tournament squad, after a glorious defeat of the Huron Tigers, lost the state championship by a scant two points, to the Sioux Falls Warriors. Despite the fact that the Kernels lost the game, critics and sportsvvriters conceded that Mitchell had the best team in the state. Our class was represented by one member on the debate squad entering the state debate tournament. Now we are about to be graduated. One of the distinct advantages which our class has enjoyed, is that we were fortunate to come through the period of the depression at a lucky age. We were old enough to un- derstand the depression, and the consequent changes in our social and economic age, and yet we had not yet reached the age when it was neces- sary for us to support ourselves during this trying period. Now, as we are leaving high school, recovery is under way, so our opportunities for making a living are distinctly better than those enjoyed by the last four or five graduating classes. We are all sorry that the time has come for us to leave M. H. S. and we hope that M. H. S. will feel just a few regrets at our going.
