The Tamarack ❖ January 1933 Class History I.adics and Gfiitlcmen — We are gathered here for the sole (jurpose of aiictioiieeriiif? the History of the January Chiss of ' 33. Here at the right we have the football team. They de- feated their jfreatest rival in the year of ' 29 by a score of 19 to 0. Are we to let this pass us by unawarded? All right, then someone start the bid — what Wf»s that ' Did T liear st n)e- one say $5,000? Just a minute, jilease. There seems to be some disturbance in tlu- l),icl . What ' s wrong, young man? (A young boy steps forward) I Kili here, Mister. I ' m a Senior B at N ' ortli Central high school and I ' ve got something important to say. I don ' t think you ought to auction off this footlmll team. It ' s true that they ' ve served their inir|)o.se, l)ut we don ' t want to sell them. Very well, then— I ' m sorry, folks, l)ut I guess we won ' t be able to auction this s(iua l. Well, to get along — here in this section we have the b isketball team, liefore we continue with the auctioneering, I should like to know if anyone has any objection to our .selling them. I have, i)iped up a voice, if we are going to kee]) the footl)all sijuad it .seems to me that we should keep the basketball team too. Well, it seems as if we won ' t be able to have this auction sale today. It api ears that the North Central high school does not wish to .sell its athletes. Supjiose I have one of the memijers of the grailuating class address yOu — come, young man, stej) up here and tell us about your class and i)erhaps when you get through we can understand why the school docs not wish to dispose of its triumphs. (A young man ste])s forward and begins: — I only wish I could give you a very original talk, however, I shall have to resort to facts and give you a somewhat hazy idea of the doings of our class. Four years ago, into this great edifice of learm ' ng there wandered a class of green freshmen. Before we had definitely discovered if there were elevators to transport us from one class to another, we knew all about the Athletic Glory that overwhelmed the school. That was the first thing we learned. Then football sea.son ended with a bang and liasketball came. I ' m i)rou(l to say that our team won .second place in the state tournament. In this year, the handball courts were finished. These courts i)roved an asset in aiding the students of the school to rid themselves of their excess energy. We took note of these things during (uir freshman year along with discover- ing that there really was no elevator. lu January, 1930, there entered from Hav- ermale, a group of bright and shiny Sopho- mores to strengthen the foundation of our ' la,ss. In this jieriod, we grew very romantic and had fond hojies of becoming football or liasketball heroes or to secure a lead in the class play. This year, the Golf club, which aroused the interest of a great many boys, was org.iiiized. Ill iMir Junior year, we l)elieved ourselves lo be in the realms of supremacy. We were upi)erclassmen. In the midst of our glory we were disheartened by the fact that our ath- letic laurels had taken a slunij). We were for a short time discouraged by the fact that our swimming pool had been abolished. These dis- ai)))ointments, however, only made us struggle harder to regain our prestige. At last, we reached our Senior year which had come all too soon. One of the many inter- esting things that liai)])ened in this year was the l)eginning of recreation games played in the cafeteria one night each week. When foot- ball .season came around again there were dis- covered in our class stars who helped send the Lewis and Clark Tigers to two defeats. Our Senior Dramatics class i)re.sented The Mob by John Galswortliy, which was one of the best Jilays ever jiresenled l)y any class of any high school. There were other jirojects suggested by our class that will probably be carried out in the near future. Among them is the planting of gra.ss on the |)layfield. Plans have also been made to cement three of the tennis courts, three of them having been cemented during our stay. In my short resume, I hope that I have given you sufficient reasons why our faithful Page turnly tico

he Tamarack ' ■ Jan u a r y , 1933 Class Prophecy As we sat watcliiiip the crowd of mostly 1933 graduates during this year of 1948, we saw them gayly riding on the fastest steeds at the Merry-go-Kound at Xatatorium park. We were quite suri)rised to see Cleorge Ham- mond, our most honorahle mayor, driving his beautiful brown-eyed mare at an unusual rate of s|)eed. Claire Harris, who has become a horse trainer since she found that her honey was being led from the path of righteousness by a blonde, was showing her ability by forcing her horse to lead all the others. Cilda I»ace, the comiietitor of Cook ' s Nut Shop in her ability to make fudge, was flirting still witlh Harold .Anderson, wlitor of the Whatsit News at Springd.de. John KoiH ' t, now running the Koiiet Drug store Jr. was feeding strychnine to all the black horses as he i)refers blondes. Kleanor Woods, who has succeeded (iarbo, was riding about sedately in a coach as she felt it beyond her dignity to ride a horse. As a winner of the Olympics and the goo ily sjxiu.se of Mildred Harri.s, Jack Yeager was quite provoked becau.se he could not make the horse understand that he was a goof (meaning the horse). Mark Koehler, the man with a thousand faces, was frightening the hor.ses until the whites of their eyes showed by the |)resenting of one of his grotesque faces. Don Deeter, who has advanced from the traffic .squad to the Unemployment scjuad, was giving a s))eech liefore a large audience con- sisting of Mary Mae Howard. Orven Fischbach, who is editor of the col- umn, advice to the lovelorn, was leaning gracefully from his horse to tlwt of Zelphia Rowe in order to advise her about her affair with Avery Mills. James Hobert.s(ni, in his normal state of hav- ing lost his collar button, was being tram|)le l on by racing jH.nies as he searched for his lost valuable. Roy English was pulling, his hair as he stood in a dark corner watching Ed Woellner steal his girl, Hildur Anderson. Ix)is Smith, now a famous author of stories printed in College Humor, was giving the (■rowd a treat l)y riding about majestically. Crace O ' Kourke, who has Ijeen visiting Gary C ;oper ' s dude ranch, showed her excellent horsemanship by spurring her hor.se and then riding at such speed that she failed to see the admiration bestowed upon her by Fred Wink- ler. .John Mallow, who has become a famous ac- tor since his success in The Mob, was mak- ing Helene Mattila understand that the weaker nuin must be uplifted, at least that is what we think he was ex])laining. Mack Koon, who is one of (ianglaiiil ' s lead- ing figures, was frightening the crowd as well as the horses by his apjjearance at the .Merry- go-Hinmd. Dorothy I.cxjuvam, who is missing the good old trii)s to the morgues in St. Ixjuis, was showing Lo Rayne Tuttle how to catch gold rings for an extra ride. .Alice McCannon, a popular chorus girl in the Run Down Revue, could not find it pos- sible to ride because of the large audience of male admirers around her. Ral) h Ro.se, the peanut vender, and I,ou Williams, Spokane ' s most brilliant lawyer, were seeing how many peanuts they could eat. Ruth Nelson, who is a very successful nurse, was carefully wrap|)ing the necks of the horses in order to iirevent their catching cold. CJarda Fyhrie, trijiping the light fan- tastic in the kitclien at the Rean Pot res- taurant, was so happy becau.se she caught a gold ring that she could hardly contain her joy. We .saw a few other members of this grad- uating class, but we believe that we had col- lected enough gossi)) to s.disfy the readers if this issue.
