CLASS HISTORY In 1918 a class, small in number but one that was far From being insignificant, entered the Monroe High School. This was the class of 1922, and at the time of entry, strange to relate, was composed of twenty-two members. This class has successfully edited “The Bugle,” a paper published monthly by the class, for three consecu- tive years. It also presented, with artistic and financial success, three plays: “Safety First,” “Turning the Trick,” and “Her Gloves.” The first two were ably directed by Miss Sherrill and the latter by Mr. Hallock. Among other achievements the class has never failed to have one or more representatives on every football, basketball and track teams since its Freshman year. It has also successfully managed and financed this the third issue of the Sahalie. Of the twenty-two entering as Freshmen, only ten of the original members remained long enough to become dignified Seniors. Five left before they had become Soph- omores; two moved away during their Sophomore year, while two others dropped out. In our Junior year Ruth Anderson left to be married, and Henry Hooper and Gladys Halverson finished the year but failed to come back for their Senior year. With twelve dropped and but four entering to re- place them, the class of ’22, with but fourteen members, is one of the smallest to graduate from this school in recent years.

CLASS PROPHECY THE day was hot and sultry. The little streets of Paris gleamed white hot in the sun, and as 1 wandered list- lessly up and down the streets, being jostled here and theie by the hurrying crowd, I found my thoughts turning suddenly back to a little brick building, a stage decorated with pink roses, girls in white skirts and blouses and boys in their best suns. Then as in a dream I found myself repeating, “The Class of Twenty-two! Where are they now? Six years had passed since then, and here was I, way out in nowhere; and the rest—how could I find out where they were? Then directly in front of me, staring me in the face, I saw the sign, “Madame Latour, Crystal Gazer. Let me tell your friends and your future.” No sooner had I read the sign than I found myself in the room. In the very center of the room, almost three feet high and one and a half feet in diameter, stood a large crystal ball. Sparks of fire seemed to issue from it, filling the room with red, yellow, blue and green lights which dazzled the eye. I stood as one paralyzed, gazing directly at the ball, when a figure began to rise out of the light and came slowly toward me. She was dressed from head to foot in a soft clinging material, the color of silver, which shone and glistened in the dancing light. She wore a head- band of rubies, emeralds and sapphires, and as I gazed upon her I thought she was the most beautiful creature I had ever seen. She came within three feet of me, then turning, beck- oned me to follow and wen slowly back to the crystal. Then passing her hand lightly over my forehead she bade me look. I gazed into the crystal. For a minute my eyes wrere filled with a dancing light and a dull shooting pain. Then my vision cleared and I sawr a hospital room, with twenty-nine white cots neatly arranged in a row'. They were occupied by soldiers. Some wore bandages on their heads, some on their arms and some across their chests. As I gazed upon this piteous scene I heard a faint hurrah and looking to the other end of the room I saw the door open and a nurse, clad all in white, carrying an armful of pink roses, entered. Ah! Thought I; pink roses! Quietly she went from bed to bed, smoothing the feverish brow or holding some poor fellowr’s hand, and as she moved I sawr their faces light up and heard a murmur, “Nurse Catherine,” go around the room. I raised questioning eyes to Madame Latour. “Yes,” she said, “that is Genevieve McGinn. They call her Nurse Catherine because it reminds them of their native land.”
