We ended our years at the Iunior High with a very fine record and a graduation exercise. lack Storms won the honor of being all-round boy and Dane Prugh and Bob Stein won the athletic honors. Nancy Ohmer won the girls' all-round cup and Ianet Gates and Milly Hostetter received the athletic awards. X. The Reformation New members whom we met in this period were Bob Engel- man, Hu h Howard, Iim Kuntz Cwith Mr. I.ewis's consent, although ine had been with the class ahead since the seventh gradej, Warren Loudon, Marfield McSherry, Charles Reitz, Carl Welhener, and Ted I-Iarroll. These inmates ushered in the period of Reformation, a new attempt at going brain-trust. XI. The Renaissance In the eleventh chapter an Industrial Revolution took place. There was a revival of learning, a Renaissance, when people decided to change their old ways and get down to work. The class average, at this time, rose three or four points and mem- bers of the class got more scholarship awards than ever before, Steve Gilman leading this group. Eleven junior boys received football letters this year. Important personages encountered for the first time were Ioe Hendrix, George Langley, Evelyn Hartzell, Virginia Humberger, and Eileene Smith. Jackie Wolfe, having left us after a certain party at Huffman's farm in the ninth grade, returned after a year in St. Louis. XII. Absolutism Under the Ahsolutism of our senior class the school has pros- pered as it never has before and never will again. Three people came this year to help us with our New Regime : Lewis Rock, Ira Iones Cthat accentlj, and Mary Wysong. Mary, coming straight from Washington, was sent as a government agent to supervise activities. We studied assiduously the long- lost Oakwood Constitution. The new Student Council was started with Lew Rock at its head. This year the football team was undefeated and unscored on through an entire sea- son. The girls' basketball team lost no games. It was a mem- ber of our senior class that won first place in the scholarship tests given at Steele. It is our class that has the best Acorn ever published. We feel that the effect of our senior regime will long be remembered and will dwell in history forever and everl if ir EPILOGUE The last chapter of our historical biography is yet to be written. Its contents lie in the laps of those gods who have so far successfull directed our achievements. I wish to express, at this time, tllie gratitude and appreciation of our class to the members of the faculty, especially our advisers-Mr. Harsh, Miss Harvey, Miss Stilwell, and Mr. Martin, who have helped to make us the extraordinary class we are today. We add but one short word in closing. Realizing the limited ability of the juniors, we trust that the history of their uneventful lives may be one-tenth as thrilling and epoch-making as ours has beenl Polly Frank SYA A Y 4- - . , f I g rf r f.

And then we saw before us tive lovely damsels fair Who wore bright red mantillas and white roses in their hair- Senoritas Hartzell, Liming, Miller, Snyder, and Burns, Who twirled and dipped in a Spanish dance and bowed to us in turns. ln gay Paree we found some friends who were modeling in a shop, On Eileen Smith and Barbara Beem we wanted to eavesdrop. There were Iane Ohmer and Ianet Gates who owned the little storep Behind a counter was Eugenie waiting on Ieanne Moore. We strolled along in silent thought beneath Napoleon's arch: From two gendarmes, Welhener and Stein, we learned where the soldiers Brass buttons shone 'gainst bright blue coats as the men gave a saluteg Then Major Kuhns raised up his sword and gave the command to shoot. A street cafe not far away was run by Solomon Maeder. The singers, Humberger, Ohmer, and Evans, with Langley for a waiter, Pleased all old customers like Gibbons, Thrasher, Young, and Prughg And Schuster, Worman, Deuser, and Roth, the patrons also knew. Italian troops were marching by and brilliant flags were raised, On prancin horses by his side were Mussolini's aides. Baker, Huffman, Allen, and Mack in uniforms uite grand: And there was General Davie Paull from the Egmiopian land. In vineyards of fair Sicily we heard three maids in songp Among the clusters of purple grapes stood Adkins, Boyles, and Wysong. In a seaside villa lived Doris Van Patten. an authoress of fame 5 She wrote the life of Marjie Davis, who'd made herself a name. Where flows the wide and cooling Nile into the turbulent sea, A lighthouse stands in the edge of the rock which has in it keepers three: They're Walter, Burkhardt 'n' Storms 5 their cook's Miss Sonnanstine, Who visits the Cornells whene'er the weather's line. We met then Doctor Gilman, who di s into p ramidsg George Nicholas, Glen Callander, and Myers fielped him to rid The mummies of their wrappings and Qiueen Knoll of her gold. Her slaves were Kiefaber and Frank, w o by now were rather old. That Loudon man was selling skins in darkest Africa, He found himself a native queen who was Frances Canada. A sound of tom-toms echoed far, and native tribes arrivedg march. Great chiefs-Broadstone, Hendrix, and Engelman-for many honors strived. In the land of the Turks our Stevie Smith ruled o'er a beautiful harem: On silken cushions he did lie with lovely girls to snare him. The fair beauties, Arnold, Rehling, F einerer, and Rice, With Matthews, Manney, and Headington for him made paradise. Prof. Morier took on a tour most any girl at all. Our Phil and lky, Marge and Mary gazed on the Taj Mahal. The two'Betties and Martha Lou were visiting the sages Whose tales of future happiness have come down through the ages. Dwelling in northern India where mountains reach the sky, Miss Hollinger had written books which all of us should buy. Our artist Marianna Will, climbing up a Himalayan peak, Was cheered by Martha and Rosie as her goal she did seek. On to Hawaii's sandy shore our shi did make its wayg We were to reach our own fair landpin just another day. A plague had covered all the isle and taken many lives Until Doc Biechler had arrived and cured them of the hives. So after days in foreign lands, we saw the Golden Gatep Mayor Siebenthaler met us there and welcomed us in state. The Lumherjack has come to dock within the port called Present, YVe trust that you've enjoyed the trip and really found it pleasant. Mildred Hostetter Virginia Hopper Page Twenty-fu
