EL SUSURRO I, Grace Layton, advise Vincent Enea to continue in his dramatic pursuits. I, Alta Lyons, advise John Carton to try the remedy for darkening red hair, noting the successful results of my own application. I, Phil Salterbach, advise all the fellows to go minus a hat. It has saved me much time and expense and in addition I have gained my crown of golden locks. MARY SALTERBACH, HOVVARD HATTON, HALLIE HITCHCOCK. Class P oem Q Four long years have glided by us, Since, as Freshmen full of glee, Scarcely looking toward the future We began so joyfully. Thinking high school a pleasure, Soon we found to our dismay That for all our idle pleasures NVe must later dearly pay. So with grim determination Bearing high our banner bright, VVC, with steps toward nineteen fifteen, Launched ourselves into the light. Rough our path, with many straying, Our brave number lessened fast, Yet we closed the ranks left vacant By the ones that could not last. Always upward, ever striving , Each to help his friends along, Thus we finish as we started, With our number ever strong. As the class of nineteen fifteen Drifts apart, each going his way, Though apart, the ties that bind them Shall be thoughts of Monterey. -ELBERT HITCHCOCK. I3

E L 5 U S U R R O Senior Advice Q VVe, the outgoing class of 1915, leave the following sage advice and few suggestions to those whom we feel will be most benefited by the same: I, Louis Vierra, advise Frank Bordges to follow my example and find a companion to brighten his long, lonely walks to and from the depot. I, Maude Scudder, advise all Juniors to think long before accepting the editorship of El Susurrof' I, Karl Klauman, advise the girls to refrain from the use of crimpers, and let their hair go in natural waves, like mine. I, Hallie Hitchcock, advise the Freshman class to follow the example of the Sophomores in their careful selection of otiicers. It is seldom one finds a president so eager in promoting class picnics, etc. I, Howard Hatton, advise Wilton Gunzendorier to remember that silence is goldenj, and practice it in future Student Body meetings. I, Helen Thompson, advise all those carrying on extensive corre- spondence to cultivate acquaintance with a mail carrier. Prompt delivery is alwaysassured. , I, Elbert Hitchcock, offer this advice to all Freshmen: Dig, if nec- essary, the first two years, but above all things, don't wait until your Senior year to make up the remaining six credits. I, Mary Salterbach, advise Roland Noack and all of the Freshmen boys to keep up the good work begun so nobly on the evening of Friday, April 16. I, Loraine Gunzendorfer, advise all the girls to never allow their hearts to go adrift. ' I, VVilhelmina Clark, advise Nell Scudder to curb her boisterous ways and follow the quiet, sedate example that I have set for her. I, Deane Smith, advise the Freshman boys not to wait until the last three months of their Senior year to exchange class pins. I, Meyrl Pugh, advise the boys to cultivate a taste for music, as I have done. I, Louis Wolters, simply advise all not to accept Smith's or Pugh's advice. but to dwell in single blessedness. I2

Class Prophecy Q It was in the year of 1911 that thirty-four brightsclad angels en- tered the garden of Eden. They toiled industriously among the fair golden poppies and the tall murmuring pines. But in the following year these joyous angels lost some of their number, and when another year had passed, it was found that thirteen, through the evil guidance of other attractions, had been led astray to the realms of outer dark- ness. It is now four years since the angels entered this beautiful gar- den, and they have lost all but sixteen. Sixteen haughty, proud, in- quisitive creatures, so unmanagable that they disregard the guiding hands of destiny. Now, as you are all familiar with the Garden of Eden, you know that in it is the tree of forbidden knowledge. Is it strange then that these proud, unworthy angels should disobey? Our little trouble-maker, Meyrl, 'while wandering through the garden, plucked a basket of this rare fruit, and dared the rest to eat of it. All agreed, if he would taste it first. So he took no time in de- vouring one of the rare apples. Instantly, as in a dream, he found himself in a spacious room, filled with pianos and allvmusical instru- ments, assisted by a golden-haired demonstrator. Hungry Mary next grabbed a large, beautiful apple. Immediately she was on the vast stage of the Metropolitan Opera House, of New York City, rehearsing that world-famous opera. Lofhen-grin, which was to First appear in this metropolis. Louie, our little Frenchman, tasted an apple, and found himself busily working over a perpetual motion machine. Suddenly, as by magic, the thought came to him that by the simple device of cutting off gravitation, this wonderful mechanical device would run for ages. Unobserved, Loraine snatched an apple. The moment she tasted it, behold, she was in a large designing house in Paris, draping an exquisite wedding gown about sweet Hallie. VVhen the vision passed, ?oraine told Hallie about it, who was now afraid to indulge in the rare 1'l11t. In time our leader, Elbert, deigned to eat of this forbidden fruit, and lo, in an up-to-date dental parlor in San Francisco, he stood, instru- ment in hand, filling the cavities of one of the prominent and thrifty y'1fg?1ag lawyers of said city, Clayton P. Salterbach, commonly known as ll . 3 - Maud next devoured a rosy apple, and found herself wandering on the hot, breathless veranda of an -immense hospital in India. For, now time hadchanged, and she was matron of this charitable institution, which was doing so much good for the poor natives. I4
