..,. Class Prophecy As we gaze into the crystal it clears, and we see one of the most original and most successful classes ever graduated from New Holland High School. The Class of '36 has now given to the world inventions, services, artists, manufacturers and politicians. The first person whose life we gaze on is that of John Ressler, who was president of the class for the last two years of school. He and Samuel High are making famous names for themselves by performing as comedians with the well-known Bar- num and Bailey Circus. Next we see Mildred Shuler who has just returned from Europe from making her debut as an o mera sin er. I Robert Wright has indeed made a great fortune for himself by discovering a type of bread which not onlv is healthful, but also contains the proper vitamins for making the user beautiful. Q A few months after we graduated Eva Mellinger entered into the holy bonds of matrimony with Gib. They have lived happily ever since. The most studious member of our class, Benjamin Brubaker, is busily engaged at Washington, D. C., as Secretary of Agriculture. We also have learned that Phillip Brubaker is head of the National Farm Loan Bureau. Mildred Troop is the owner of a famous beauty shop in Philadelphia, where she gives weekly treatments to Dorothy Snader, who is the wife of a Philadelphia millionaire. Harry Witmer tried his hand at inventing a lie detector machine but failed. He is now trying to invent a trackless railroad. Ruth Stauffer is touring Europe with a show as the smallest girl in the world. Paul Laukhuif has slept so much that it is now decided he has slept-outg he is now the suc- cessful manager of the Blue Ball Dairy. The dress designer about whom everybody has heard so much is none other than Vernon Rey- nolrls. Blanche Hoffard embarked on the sea of matrimony with that famous house painter from Churchtown. She is kept very busy caring for all the little housepainters. That famous cornet player of the Blue Ball Symphony Orchestra which everybody has hea1'd so much about is none other than Lester Kutz. Dorothy Mohler is now teaching a tap dancing class in the Harner Theatre, New Holland. VVe learn that Harold Martin is now busily engaged in writing up his experience for the True Story Magazine. Robert Good has always been such a faithful buyer of life savers that he is at last the owner of one of the factories. Eloise Bachman is kept busy posing for drawings for that artistic husband of hers. Eli Martin is NOW busily Gnilaifefl making political addresses for the coming election. The American Stores are still in existence and the wife of the New Holland manager is no other than Kathryn Farrer. Her maid is Helen Myers. Kathryn Steffy is one of the head nurses in the Jefferson Hospital. Anna Mae Shepler has just been given the position of private secretary for Sam Rubinson's Store in Churchtown. Robert Rutter is still in the business of heart-breaking, as he is now the Romeo of Hollywood, and breaking twice as many hearts as he did in New Holland. Jack Maser is married to a famous roller skating champion. They are breaking records to- gether. Kathryn Zwally is busily engaged as librarian in the new Public Library which has just been established in New Holland. Richard Sprecher is living retired as he has gained a large fortune by submitting his picture for an adve1'tisement on How to Gain Pounds Easily. Pauline Gehman has just returned from Europe where she has been studying as an artist. The only aviator of the class is Robert Shirk. Richard Geist is now owner and instructor of the New Holland Riding Academy. Elizabeth Grotf and Ruth Witmer have again returned to New Holland, but as teachers. Ruth instructs in Physical Education while Elizabeth is head of the Latin Department. Donald Witmer has gone from paper boy to radio. He is announcer over WGAL. Last, but not least we have Carroll Stokes and Helen Wentz, who were the champions of the class. Helen has won the championship over women hurdle races while Carroll has proved his in wrestling. The crystal is now fading and we can see no more, but the mystic sights have given us a most interesting view of the lives of the Class of '36. ' ability .lwrrv ., f . f .-l. Page Twenty-four

, , C12 Poem WE'VE CLIMBED THE HILL ,' THE MOUNTAIN LIES BEFORE US High school days of fun and labor, Victories made and battles won, Twelve fond years of constant friendship, Years containing work and hardship, 1. Years that strengthened schoolday kinship- gif These are ended . . . life begun. fl. I All this time we've been a-climbing X 3 Often stumbling, falling backward: ' l Teachers dear then to the rescue, Protected us from savage vulture, , Strengthened us with staffs of virtue, 1 Urged us onward . . . ever onward. il I l l After twelve long years of climbing, I oked so stately, H Soon the summit was upon us, E The same crest which had lo 5 Seemed so steep from valleys shadyg sa But, lo, from here a far more lofty HN Towering mountain lies before us. -. --Elizabeth Groj' Class Song Now at last our high school days are over, We have climbed the hill, and we've succeeded, We into the field of life must go, Though the mountain lies before us still, Though the path was rugged and we stumbled, We will always love our Alma Mater, We our courage never failed to show. Which our later life with joy wi.ll fill. -Mildred Troop CLASS FLOWER- CLASS COLORS- THE WHITE ROSE NAVY BLUE AND WHITE Page Twenty-three

' ,V A l l Class Will ln September 1932, we of this graduating Class started on the road towards building up a gen- eral fund to be used in climbing the hills of life. Through the cooperation and strict supervision of the faculty we know that we have climbed the hills, even though the mountain still lies before us. At this time we have many things that we can discard and without which we feel sure we can fight the battles of life. We also feel that many of these traits will be of very great benefit to some of the future graduating classes. Therefore, we, the class of 1936, being of sound mind and having the sanction of our faculty, the Board of Education, and especially of our parents who are inclined to think this is a good move, bequeath to them our superior knowledge, experiences, and traits.
