sor Hunt who had tried to sell the natives some Flit. As he switched dials to 5i-W, George Tiefel, George A. Davis, George I.owery, George Bit- ter and Ernest Gentle appeared clinging to driftwood in mid-ocean. Even when they were sinking, Tiefel was endeavoring to collect the seventy-five cents that Ernie owed him for the Tamarack. A charming domestic scene was revealed when Pamela Warren, nee Persons, and Luckie Warren, her dearly beloved spouse, were seen entertaining their intimate friends Mr. and Mrs. Gordon Heckord. Mrs. Keckord was formerly Miss Lillian Watson. At this point the silence was broken by Hetty Agrippina Brown who cattily remarked, I don ' t see how Lillian rates V Back to dear old Spokane we came to see Harold Hinkle, Al Dimond, Beryl Monfort and Dave Slee. The four of them are the new owners of The Spokane Theaters, Incorporated. Then old N. C. flashed on our screen. Bob I ansdon, assisted by Eleanor Kennedy was running the school. Eleanor had replaced Miss Wiedeman. Allyn T. Luenow was the new head janitor and his assistant was none other than M. Gale Beals. At about this time Dave Tinling came skat- ing into the room to replace a weak tube in the television set. On the University of Southern California ' s quoitennis team we found Bert Colburn, Gene Conklin, Harold Sanford and Norman Cooney. Their coach was Miss Constance Jordan, with Muriel Glayzer assisting. As the scene changed we found ourselves face to face with that All-American explorer, Clarke Miller, who was gayly tripping around the North Pole with three or four Polar bears in a barber pole dance. In the background we see Elsie Meyer, Norman Lamb und Marguer- ite Treffry picking away at a petrified Goof- euse bird so that they might satisfy their longing for good old white meat. They no doubt had been living on Christmas seals and dead fish during their trip to the frigid regions of Arctic. Now my children, quoth John Agamemnon Cook as he twirled the bakelite knobs of the televisor under Zimney ' s instruction, we will see what is happening in that interesting little monarchy of Graustark. Margaret Sievert and Theodore Roe were the new plenipotentiaries of this great country. Arnola Sharpnack was heading the police force in the capital. Living in this quaint principality which was so favored by members of our class was that eminent author, Al Bed Walsh, whose great- est work is entitled, Brains Win, or Up From the Gutter. We shifted our television scene to a fast traveling continental train. The porter was none other than Dick Ellarson. We saw the following traveling salesmen in their Pullman car: Jess Hancock, Ralph Whitmus, Marshall Jones, Ray Steffey and Valaire Van Hook. At about this time, we grew weary, the set blew out a half dozen tubes and we all went home to bed. SIGNED: JUNIOR METCALFE BETTY BROWN JOHN H. COOK +• GOLDEN HILLS OF ST. JOHN Fihst Prize Pokm Mary Roller Pierced by the desert ' s golden gleams, I lifted trembling hands; Then opening wide my blinded eyes I strained to see again. Lying there a golden pool And from its sloping edge Rose hills of dazzling splendour, A shining mountain hedge. Hills of glimmering yellow That shrank and seemed to fall Till my madness called them haystacks; The hills— not hills at all. Then, as the sun sank lower, The world began to grow ; And from the dim receding hills, I i erceived a dull, pale glow. [29]

the last name of Viola Tsehirgi, we will it to Marco Bruschi, hoping that the unpronounce- ahles may live on in unforetold glory. Bert Colburn leaves the exhuberant enthus- iasm displayed by him upon seeing a comical show to Beverly Bradley. As Junior Socrates Metcalfe says that francais est tout grec a lui, we will his knowledge of French to the entire Grecian populace. The remains of Lillian A. Watson ' s sprained right knee is to be left, that is, to any lead in the next class play. Chester Prague and Dick Bennion will be honored by Margaret Wittman, who will leave them her ability to interpret the dance. We will the experience that Janet MacDcm- ald and Bob I.ansdon derived from the count- less rehearsals of that last passionate love scene in the class play, The Patsy, to Rodger Bankson. You surely will slay the femmes now, Roddy. Betty Blake wills her rosy cheeks to Dorothy Oliver; Dorothy Overmyer, her tremendous height to Mr. Kennedy. Betty Brown presents that box of angle worms she once collected to Miss Franck with her blessing. Helene Johnson bestows that long sidewise glance to the next star on the North Central stage. Walt Boomer gives his knack of whirl- ing a baton to Zona Gable. Just think. Zona, someday you may be a great band leader, like John Philip Sousa. John Aggie Cook leaves his art at getting inside information to Mrs. Winchell ' s bad little boy, Walter, so that he may make tomorrow ' s gossip today ' s news. Reed Rhea bequeaths his ability to play hokum on his horn to Gabriel. Good ole Gabriel ! And now, ladies and gentlemen, here is the announcement that you have been wating for. We are very sorry to say that it is now time to lend thine ears to Au Revoir, Pleasant Dreams ! ' Twenty words more or less — tabulate them, (prolonged roll form a snare drum) Thank you, until fifty years from now at this time, thank you. This is station S. A. of the N.C.H.S. Broad- casting System. SIGNING OFF, GLENN STARLIN ELEANOR KENNEDY GENE CONKLIN Class Prophecy Reading time — 3 minute . 2 second The sign on the door read, Clement Zimney, Phrenologist, Pathologist, Archeologist, Phys- icist, Psychologist and expert in all other branches of Science. As we reached for the door handle, the massive portal receded slowly into the wall before us. As we passed through the aperture, we perceived in the distance four frosty-headed patriarchs. The constantly moving floor soon brought our little party of three into close proximity with the great professor and his trio of illus- trious cohorts, George Taschereau, Stewart Sparrow and DeLoss Seeley. Howdy, Prof, genially remarked our leader. Junior Socrates Metcalfe. The professor bent his eagle eye on us three optimistic investigators of the human race and remarked, Gentlemen, be seated. We sat. You no doubt have come, chortled the man of science, as a smile played over his lips, to uncover certain vital facts which have to do with your classmates of that extinct institution of learning. North Central high school. As you are no doubt aware, after you graduated in January ' 32, the members of your class scat- tered to the four corners of the universe. How- ever, I will endeavor by means of my super- television set to give you an intimate glimpse into the life of each. He whirled a dial and threw a switch. All went dark, and on a large television view-plate was thrown a life-sized picture of our class president, Benton Roberts. Ben had his shirt sleeves rolled up and was industriously leading the chorus of Allan Miles ' new Follies. Janet MarDonald drummed on the piano to keep the dancers in time. The scene changed. The next panorama that spread before our eyes showed Margaret Brod- recht, Betty Blake and Catherine Baker in darkest Africa busily preparing the evening meal for their cannibal husbands. The meal consisted of boiled roots and Donald Glenn Starlin, Raymond Jacob Langenbach and Win- L2S1
