QCH DUPOO BOARD OF EDUCATION Only a few of us realize what a great task it is to provide an efficient and beneficial admin- istration. This responsibility is entrusted by the people to the Board of Education. This group devotes much time and work to solve school prob- lems which relate to finance and the administra- tion. This year our Board of Education is composed of five members, Mr. Guy McMaster, Mr. Ed. Clif- ford, Mr. Charles Holmes, Mr. Arthur Stauffer, and Mr. Ray Peterson. Mr. McMaster, President of the Board, has been a member since 1921; Mr. Stauffer, who has been a member since 1933, last year succeeded Mr. C. M. C. Brown as Secretary-Treasurer when Mr. Brown moved to Yates City to make his home. Mr. Clifford came to the group in 1929, and Mr. Holmes has been a member since 1916 when the school be- came a Community High School. Mr. Peterson became a member last year after the resignation of Mr. Dwight Metcalf. Mr. McMaster, Mr. Holmes, Mr. Clifford, and Mr. Peterson are all prominent fanners in our community; Mr. Stauffer is in the lumber business. Our Board of Education has always shown a great interest in the school life and by their untiring efforts we will be able to boast of a new school building, with added equipment and mere ed- ucational opportunities. V e wish to extend our thanks and appreciation to them for their part in making our education a worthwhile experience. Co ®C30- asp®om THE FACULTY The S.S. Oneida High School steamed into harbor, after another year's cruise. Under the expert command of Captain Sharpe, they braved many storms and strifes. The crew was divided into four sections, each under the command of one officer of the ship. The Senior crew, usually hard to handle, sailed under First Mate Pogue, a former ath- lete . Second Mate Whitmore kept the Juniors in hand. The Sophomore sailors swabbed and swash- buckled under the supervision of Stewardess Smith. Wireless Operator Calhoun put the Fresh- men on her line and held them there where she could keep them out of mischief. During cruise on high seas. First Mate Pogue took the athletic-minded boys on first deck and put them through their paces. Be- tween practices he gathered the math-inclined sailors into his cabin for chalk-work in Geo- metry, and Physics. In the lookout, one could usually find Second Mate Whitmore and her commercial crew keeping the Log books and Journal . Some of the sailors discussed Business Lav; and better Consumer Buying. Those most in- terested in skills became typists, and learn- ed to write shorthand. Wireless Operator Calhoun, knew how to lay down the laws of English. She knew Am- erican Literature so well she could chat the life history of any author you wished to know. Stewardess Smith could talk Latin as well as English, and she urged some of the crew to do likewise. She had a keen memory and could recite History like Mother Goose Rhymes. Captain Sharpe had the English bug, too� It must have grown in his Science Laboratory, which is on the fore deck. Anyway, he belay- ed the Senior crew and gave them some English Literature to think about. He was a genlous in his laboratory. He grew microbes, cut ap animals, and performed many interesting ex- periments for the Freshmen and Sophomores. This was no show boat; but after eight bells, when all v as well , there had to be a little amusement. With the assistance of the Stewardess, Miss Smith, the Senior class pre- sented the play, Trouble Ahead , the Juniors gave Drums In My Heart . Some of the sail- ors tried out their vocal chords, and sang solos; others became dramatic, and gave read- ings. The Wireless Operator, Miss Calhoun, trained a group of the girls to sing in chor- us. Then a new sailor. Lookout Mclnnes, was picked up, and unanimously elected. He waved his baton so infectiously that anyone who had a horn of any kind, started tooting. A real concert finally developed. Once in a while one of the crew would get together and throw a party for the whole ship. Some of the crew turned land lubbers , this year; so we're launched to find a new crew to take their places for next year's voy- age. ©as. ptfaooas ---------------O STUDENT COU.'-TCIL I The Student Council is an organization composed of the class presidents and one representative from each class. This organization meets at the call of the principal, Mr. Sharpe or the pres- ident, Ramona Peterson, for the purpose of consider- ing problems of interest to the student body, and which should be solved by them. The Student Council has been of special value in establishing the policies of the school. The Student Council met with Mr. Sharpe to discuss the problems of the school conduct, school parties, and honor awards. The Student Council started the high school part- ies which were held once a month. The Council sponsor- ed the Freshmen Initiation party.

Ernest C K1II M' Id ed _ CLASS PROPHECY Jane Peterson Martha Robinson V ilbur Quick Dear Martha: Your letter did me a world of good. It is always a pleasure to hoar from the old town althougn it is nearly 15 years since I left there. I feel quito proud to say that I have won the Nat- ional corn picking championship and I suppose the corn- oickers back in Oneida are nearly breaking their arms patting thornselvoo on the back for teaching me how to pick corn. , ,, , So you have just returned from a tour oi tie cress shops in Paris buying for Saks Fifth Avenue. Who would have thought that the members of the class of 3. WOUxd become so famous. . _ Have you heard about our famous Morgan Ino not J. P. but just plain J.A.) who has inverted a new system of bookless bookkeeping. Ho keeps all tae figures in his head. He is now with the New York Stock Exchange. He romembors all the ouotitior.s on stocks for the last two years. Mias Calhoun's prophecy has at last boen fulfilled. . i I mot Ernest Cahil3 a few days ago. He is devel- oping a new theory about braiding the star's rays and when he gets them braided he will u-c them ftr binder whips. I believe he will be a very fan us non in the near future. „ . Jane Pet or con our famous gum chower has c is i zed in this profession. She i3 chewing gum at the present time on the testing field for ' rigloys gum. While I was or. my way tc Hawaii for ny vacation whom do you think was on the plane? ilrrtha Helen Ling- wall. She is an air stewardess on the T.W.A. lxner old was very busy giving medicine to air sick passengers including myself. , , , T Vfhile there I wont to .an athletic fi ld where I very unexpectedly met Bob Mitchell who is the wer-d famous triple pluy short stop. His team is m tr ning for the season. On my way back I stopped at Miami and huriiod to the beach to judge a beauty contest. Ono of the bath- ing beauties pushed me in the water and whom do you think roocued me Charles VJeech, of all people. Who over thought ho would be a life guard? After he had roscued mo we stopped and chatted a visile and he told me about his trip over Niagra Falls in a ra.:.n barrel, and since then he has been in great demand for saving the lives of bathing beauties which pleases him very much. He told me that Miss Smith is running a kinder- garten in Oneida and has made a great success in teach- ing her students to be broad minded. After I left Charles I went back to my hotel. My attention was attracted to a gentleman who at first I supposed was an English nobleman, but when he turned around so I could get a good look at him you could have fanned me with an eyebrow, for instead of an Englishman, it was no other pornonage than our old classmate,glaas- es and all. Bob Holt. He is a drummer, in guess who1 s orchestra? Hone other than o ir old friend Helen Holmes. Helen grew famous overnight when 3he introduced a song written by Wayne King, who is now an old man. Helen hopes to soon take the place of the great Lom- bardo. I recently received a lettor from Lester Kronsted who is still around Oneida. He told me that Gertrude Nelson is a foreign missionary and that he hopes to join hor in her work in China soon. You said in your letter that you had seen Avis Mc- Ma3ter. It doesn't surprise me a bit to le jn that she is an opera ot r in the Metropolitan Opera, but it did surprise me to hear that she and Ralph v ere living in New York. I always thought they would live in some quiet place on a farm. I was very surprised to hear that Jeanne Andorson has remained an old maid. Everything seemed to point to a happy marriage between hor and R slph Britt when we v ere all in high school. I wonder what ever came be- tween them? Sam Metcalf, whon he was in high school never gsve anyone the impression he would be an eye specialist, did he? Whi l c picking corn I unfortunately got a piece ? ©C3 as □ 0006 1 CL- p of shuck in my eye. The town was unknown to me so I asked someone where I could see a Doctor. One of the pickers suggested I see Sam Metcalf. The name sounded familiar to me and when I got in the office I could hardly believe my eyes. There was my old schoolmate. He seemed rather surprised to see me and we were soon talking over old times. Sam told me That Mary Jean Henderson was chief dietician in a Philadelphia hos- pital. She is engaged to marry a young interne there. Sam said he thought it would be nice if the class of '57 could have a reunion. He suggested that we plan to have it in Oneida. Some of us would probably be glad to get back to that old town. Write me your reaction to this plan. Talk about your bumps; I certainly got mine last Sunday. I was stopping at Richmond. The day was an ideal one so I decided to take a stroll about the time church was out so as to get a glimpse of some of the sweet Virginia beauties. I hadn't gone far when around the corner comes one of those big red limousines that represent about 80 acres of good old Knox Co. soil. In it were two of the swellest dressed dames I had seen since I left Chicago. As they drew near, one of them leaned for- ward and gave the chauffeur an order and immediately the big car swung around and came up alongside the curb where I was standing. While I was trying to get through my head what they wanted of me, the lady near est me held out her dainty hand and asked if I did not recognize an old friend? After about 14 guesses and a lot of suggestions I finally tumbled—and who do you think it was? Mildred Grant Peterson and Miss Calhoun. Mildred had married Junior who has solved the mystery of patent medicine success and produced a repeater--that is, the second dose is reguired to re- lieve the bad effects of the first and so on. He put it up in a fancy package under a fancy name and ad- vertised it to cure anything and from that time on his fortune was made. This letter seems to have been written entirely on our old classmates, but I suppose you are like me always interested to hear about the old friends. '{OWING; NOT DRIFTING’ While talking of old acquaintances, I read in the paper the other day that our coach of former days, Mr. Pogue, has founded a training camp for children and be- gins teaching them how to play basket-ball at the age of 2. His son graduated last year and is now delivery boy in Leo Pittard's grocery store. You remember Miss Whitmore don't you? Well, she is now president of the Federal Reserve Bank in Oneida. She really watches the pennies. Her husband is only cashier. Of course you recall our principal, Mr. Sharpe. I heprd that he is now a second Andrew Carnegie. I al- ways used to think that ho would be something like that after all the books, magazines, and newspapers he made us read when we were Seniors. He has founded several voluminous libraries over the country to enable Seniors to read about current events and also an insane asylum for High School Seniors. I am leaving with Amelia Earhart for Honolulu to- night and as it is almost time for us to leave I will bring this letter to a close. Hoping to hear from you soon. Your friend and classmate, Wilbur Quick SENIOR CLASS HISTORY Helen IIolies We entered the freshmen year as one of the largest classes to enter Oneida High School. There were twen- ty-five members of the class--thirteen hoys and twelve girls. Although v e were '•green” and termed freahies” it did not take long for us to adjust ourselves to the High School routine. The members of this class were Jean Anderson, Mae and Marjorie Korkstron, Junior Peterson, Ralph Britt, Annabeth Wilmot, Gertrude Kelson, Mary Jean Henderson, Jane Peterson, Wxlbur Quick, Ernest Cahill, Helen Holmes, Avis McMaster, Sam Metcalf, Robert .Mitch- ell, Duane Rylander, Dale Bovman, Ilene Thalmann, Mil- dred Grant, Charles Veech, Lester Eronsted, Hubert Swanson, Martha Helen Lingwall, James Morgan and Dale Bowman. ‘Then we were sophomores, wo spent most of our year observing the upper classmen and hoping that some day we could do things as they did, such as working on the High School paper, the Annual, and putting on class olays. For our first two years v e chose Miss Tatman to help us settle our problems. We entered our Junior year anxious to take more part in the school activities. V e mt on the class olay, Lady of the Library”, which proved to be a great success. All the members of the Junior class were in- terested in commercial work, so v e all took shorthand and typing. e helped with the High School Journal and Annual by writing articles and typing stencils. The Juniors, with the aid of Miss Frey, gave the Seniors a banquet at the Custer Hotel in Galesburg. During our last year in High School, we took part in all the activities and members of the class have won ffl ©n 3. Qmem honors in singing, speaking, and track. Five of the girls have been members of the Girls' Glee Club each of their four years. The boys and girls of this class have cooperated in work and play, and have been together for class parties. High School parties, theatre parties, and ed- ucational and pleasure trips. We edited the Annual and produced the class play, Trouble Ahead. Our class this year is next to the largest class to graduate from Oneida High School--the largest being the Class of 1910, which had two more members than our class has. The following have been with us all four years: Wilbur Quick, Jane Peterson, Martha Helen Ling- wall, Helen Holmes, Gertrude Nelson, James Morgan, Mary Jean Henderson, Junior Peterson, Mildred Grant, Robert Holt, San Metcalf, Avis McMaster, Ernest Cahill, Robert Mitchell, Charles Weech, Lester Kronsted, Jean Ander- son. Martha Robinson came from V'ataga High School to take her senior year in Oneida. The Class of 1937 will bear the distinction of be- ing the last class to graduate from the old building erected in 1870. As a class, we wish to thank the teachers who have worked with us to help us make our four years of High School such a great success. e especially wish to thank Mr. Pogue who has been our adviser this last year. fOUMD h TrJ£ . .O £j Name Nickname Pet Expression Ambition Remembered For am Anderson (Andy) Cut it out I To be a farmer’s wife Her Kate Hepburn hairdress □stor Kronsted (Les) Can't hear you.

POG U E CLASS POEM Ey Gertrude Nelson and Mildred Grant The class of Nineteen thirty-seven , Ha3 sailed these past four years In the good old ship of O.H.S., Now the end of our journey nears. Did we say our journey in ending? Perhaps so it seems, to-night. But, in truth, we are only beginning Our cruise, for a port not in sight. Our craft has been guided efficiently By an earnest, faithful crew. Ready to assist in calm or storm-- The faculty--to you. Our motto, Rowing--not drifting . Should spur us to greater heights; Should bring us to fully appreciate The twinkling harbor lights. Our symbol--that of sweet roses-- Our colors, of blue and old rose. Adorn the decks this evening As we search for treasures disclosed. The passenger list informs us There are eighteen persons aboard. To you we shall introduce them As each, in his way has scored. First on our list is a captain-- Captaln Bob, of basketball fame. When you read of high school athletics. You are bound to find his name. Charle3--the ever-ready-- His lessons always well done; In class plays or declamation Our hearts he surely won. Avis ranks high in scholarly fields, A gifted11, sedate little lass Sweet voiced--nimble fingered,--and yes. She’s the youngest one in the class. His memory never failed him, Were it rules or poems long; And with his rapid reading-- To James--'twas one sweet song. When we heard someone play the piano. As the noon hour dwindled along, It probably proved to be Helen-- Playing the latest popular song. If current events you are seeking. Ask Lester--he knows them all; you see. He keeps up with the world--and history He knows, from A to :,Z . Martha Helen; her good humor A place in our hearts has won. And her high scholastic ability Has won her a place in the sun. George Sheridan--we know him as Junior-- Is a handsome likeable chap. If his red-wheeled Ford remains faithful. He'll find much need for a map. A dark, petite, little gal is Jane; .Hot bashful--and by no means dumb. 'Most always in classroom, or on the street. She's thoughtfully chewing gum. am pgpoo s Sam is the one w o's always about Whenever there's fun to be had. Classmates, and teuchers--he rates with them all- ..nd wherever we meet him he's glad. In shorthand liary Jean is dependable She has helped Mr. Sharpe through the year. Also quiet and likeable. She always brought us good cheer. Next in our group comes Wilbur, The one with a deep-bass voice. Looking over the sophmore girls— We know which will be his choice. Jean, who was always industrious, Has helped us through these years. She was a pleasant person But left many boy-friends in tears. Robert--our bravest lad-- Could always lend a hand. In music he was interested. And was drummer in our school band. Our newest member is Martha, Who joined us last September. Her friendly, jolly and likeable ways We shall always, always remember. Our meekest lad was Ernest, Famed for his mischievous way When school-work was all finished. He always found time for play. Next to the last comes Mildred, Who always has done her part; In spite of her giggles and enticing ways, Sl'.or has won a place in our heart. L st, but not least, am I. Perhaps I will obtain an excuse For having assisted in writing This jumble cf phrases profuse. CLASS WILL OP THE CLASS OP '37 SAM METCALF: We, the members of the class of 1937, of the Oneida Community High School, having realized the objectives of our scholastic career, and being somewhat fatigued by the incessant mental toil, but still of sound, jubilant mind and joyous memory, do make, pub- lish, and'ordain this to be our last will and testament, hereby revoking any and all former wills by us at any time heretofore made. JUNIOR PETERSON: As to our worldly estate, and all the property real and personal or mixed of which we shall have, seized or possessed, we devise, bequeath and dis- pose of in the following manner; BOB MITCHELL: Let's start out by leaving something to the school. Sam,what would ou suggest? SAM METCALF: I suggest that we leave to the school as a whole our loud voices echoing thru the halls. JUNIOR PETERSON: I think that's a splendid idea but what shall we leave to the underclasses? BOB MITCHELL: Let's leave to the juniors our senior decorum, privileges, polished manners, and imperial characteristics. SAM METCALF: We'll leave to the sophomores our ability to keep out of trouble. JUNIOR PETERSON: Let's leave to the Freshmen our abil- ity to comprehend everything taught us by our teachers. Now, its time to leave something to our faculty members. What would you suggest, Sam. SAM METCALF: I suggest that we leave Mr. Sharpe a rub- ber tired scooter, that he may detect and trace any sounds in the new school building, and to Mr. Pogue we'll leave the memories of our great athletes which we hope will be an inspiration to the teams that play on the new gym floor. BOB MITCHELL: I think we should leave Miss Calhoun all our spare pennies so she can ride the bus to Galesburg, and we also hope she can continue to ride in the 1936 Cldsmobile. , Now for Miss Smith, we'll leave her all the names written on the walls of the Park Theatre. cm PgWOflR.5 o JUNIOR PETERSON: Let's leave Miss Whitmore a set of hand-turned flat-irons which she may use for household purposes or otherwise, as she sees fit. BOB MITCHELL: That's a good idea. Now for personal be- quests. I was talking to Jean Anderson and she said that she would like to bequeath her ability to wear sport clothes to Ruth Amy Harmison, and she also said that she would leave the little boys to the girls In their own classes. SAM METCALF: Ernest said he would like to bequeath his dainty stride to Richard Dozer. Ernest also has a knack of writing cute little sayings at the end of his test papers, he would like to leave this ability to Kenneth Lawson. JUNIOR PETERSON: Mildred Grant leaves her shyness to Phyllis Thslmann, and in conjunction with Helen Holmes end Jane Peterson, she leaves Howard Anderson to the oncoming senior girls. BOB MITCHELL: Mary Jean Henderson bequeaths her ability to talk in history cless ana get by with it, to Jose- phine Wyman. She would also like to leave her modesty to Harry Ellison. SAM METCALF: How about Helen Holmes leaving her abil- ity to write notes about passing dated evenings to Genevieve Y.'eech? She can also leave her bright answers to English questions, to Phyllis Olson. JUNIOR PETLRSON: We mustn't forget Robert Holt. He seid he wanted to leave Ins athletic ability (especial- ly in indoor track meets) to Hjalmar Jolinson. Bob be- queaths his big Buick to John Lingwail. SAM METCALF: Lester Kronsted wishes to bequeath his curly hair to Carl Johnson and Oh Yes, he wants to leave his stature to Billy Adams, who certainly can use it. BOB MITCHELL: Martha Helen leaves her Katy Hepburn coiffure to Bertha Mon an, and leaves her giggle to Gloria Rathbun. J QOS. ggPODgg g SAM METCALF: If there is a thumbtack xn the school building someone accidently places it under Avis, so she leaves this ability to sit on thumbtacks to Sarah Robinson. _ . , . . , . JUNIOR PETERSON: That will be fine, I think it would be nice to leave your volumnious vocabulary of slang expressions to Peggy O'Connor. BOB MITCHELL: James Morgan bestows his gentleman-like manners on Jimmy Foster. He can also leave his abil- ity to memorize history and read slowly? to Housel Rob- JUNIOR PETERSON: Who's left? Oh Yes, Bob Mitchell leaves his ability to heckle the girls to Russell Oeh- ring. Bob also would like to leave his knack of get- ting along with the teachers to Garnet Peterson. S M METCALF: There's Gertrude Nelson. She should be- queath her ability to skip school to Doris McMaster. She can also leave her ability to dance well to Doris Olson. , . . JUNIOR PETERSON: Jane Peterson leaves her quiet ways to Pauline Strandberg. Jane enjoys square dances, to such an extent that she wishes to leave this longing to Ruth Hyland. BOB MITCHELL: Junior Peterson bequeaths his ability to st y home nights to Martin Cahill, and leaves his dig- nified manner to Junior Holmes. JUNIOR FETERSON: Now there's V ilbur. Why couldn't he bequeath his spirit to Harriette Adams, and his quiet chuckle to Bob Kenney? BOB MITCHELL: That's all r3ght. We must have nearly everyone. Oh, we can't leave Martha Robinson out. She leaves her sophisticated air to Marjorie Nelson, and she leaves her ability to get along with her classmates to Maurice Suydam. SAM METCALF: The last one is Charles Weech. What can he leave? How ebout his dis-interest in Girl-Friends? He could leave that to Rolland McKle, and his orator- ical powers he can leave to Kenneth Anderson. Well, that's finished. I hope everyone will appreciate our bequeaths. Signed and attested this eighteenth day of May in the vear of our Lord nineteen hundred and thirty seven.

A con- stitution for the association was made and approved by the members at the first of the year. A meeting was held once a month, some of them being in the form of a party. Organized hiking proved to be very enjoyable to the group. Sometimes lunches were taken; other times they had weiner roa sts, and in the sprang a breakfast was cooked in the open. A treasure hunt constituted one of the hikes. The girls also participated in organized skating this year. Formal initiation for new members was held in the spring. The G.A.A. boasts a membership of thirty. Several of the members attended play day at La Fay- ette in the fall. Our local girls were chosen to be hostesses for play day in May. Representatives from nine schools were present. To raise money for the organization, a minstrel, Dark Town Strutters , was held February 6. A sum of twenty-eight dollars was made.

These were for advertising purposes. A trip to a Court ses- sion in Galesburg was made by the Law class and their teacher. Miss v hit- more, during the first semester. This trip proved most beneficial to the students. n V' A £ V The four stiidents who represented the school in the sub-district declamc- tion contest at i-.ledo, March 27, gave t icir read- ings in the Study Hall. The purpose of doing this was to help over- come the mon- ster, stage- fright.

KEC30DDS fL -------------- As we are about to graduate Prom Oneida Grade School, We are going to describe ourselves From the best to the fool. Wo rate seven girls And eight willful boys. We girls have quite a time Putting up with their tricks and noise. First comes quiet Catherine A shy but companionable miss, She'3 a whizz at her studies But drawing is her blis3. On down the line we go To jolly Shirley Jean She 3 at the top in her studies A secretary she wants to be. Lois i3 our latest addition A likeable fair-haired girl Very good in her les3ons And in fun she’s a whirl. Doris is the next one The girl who gets high grades. And as a pianist She’ll find a likeable trade. Reva is an artist She likes to draw in school And very good in studies She'll never be any one’s fool. Mildred keeps us wondering About what she likes to do, But she's very good at studies And at quietness, too. Me?--Well I’m the poetess And Public Teaser No. One, I like my books and music And, on the side, a little fun. Now Jack is our star-athlete But does not work in school He'd rather draw wild pictures Than learn the Golden Rule. Paul has never stirred himself To learn an English rule. But he is good at basketball And likes to dream in school. Evert is a happy lad • The baby of the class. He does very well in school We think he'll probably pass. Ray the weak voice of our group Is very studious. He likes to pull quiet jokes He's shy without much fuss. Willis, a quiet boy Came to us last year. He's always studying in his books He'll earn a fine career. acos. psroa s Max, a rather mischievous boy Doesn’t like school very well.

Signed and attested to this day the twenty-first of May in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred and thirty g 0vcr ■ CLASS of '37—By Shirley Jean Bedford and Evert Anderson I was making a usual business trip to Paris in the interests of Marshal, Field and Company. I had just seated myself in a Transatlantic plane. Across the aisle is a man who looks familiar. The stewardess comes past the seat and says to the man in which I was interested, Mr. Stauffer, will you have a cup of cof- fee? I then thought where have I heard Stauffer before? There used to be a boy named Stauffer in our class but this could not be he. I became so anxious that I went over to him and said, You are Paul Stauffer, aren't you: To my surprise he told me he was the president of the !,Stauffer Engineering Company , which was build- ing Sears and Roebuck a new building. Paul said, Do you know who is piloting this plane?' Of course, I didn't. He said, I'll bet you Will be surprised; Jack Murray is our pilot. I asked, How is Jack getting along? Paul answered, Getting along alright, and sav, he got married last year to Alice, you know. I replied, Then the nice little stewardess is Alice. Suddenly the plane wont higher and some l dy fainted in the back of the plane. The stewardess calls the stewardess-nurse and whom should be recognize but Hester Adams. I asked, Have you heard or seen any- thing of Edward? Why sure, I left him in New York to’take my place for a while. He's an excelleht carpenter, said Paul. After a long ride we landed in the field which meant we were in Paris. I asked Paul if he was going to stay in Paris or some other city in France.- He said, Oh, no, I came to see Max Hiatt, the pu- gilist, The French think he is some relation to Schmeling. Paul was going one way and I another,so we took separate taxis. I heard there was to be a recital at the Paris Cathedral. I was anxious to go when I learned that the soloist was to be Doris Rylander. My time was up for staying in Europe so I was to start for home the next day. I decided I would go to some beauty parlor in Paris and whom should I find wav- ing hair but Lois Olson. She said, Reva Jordan is in the business with mo but she is in the Manicuring Parlor at this minute. The next morning I took a taxi to the airport but we didn't go far before we had car trouble. The taxi driver said that they h d a service man who would come soon and fix it. When he cune it was Curtos Holmes. We finally reached the Airport. This time the trip across the ocean seemed longer, but I reached New York glad to stay there for a while. I learned on my way o- ver that Shirley Jean Bedford had been a stenographer for a number of years and had married her boas. I wanted to see her, so I a3l:od. her to meet me in my ho- tel room. She came and told me she had something she wanted me to see. The next morning she took me into the business district. There a band was playing and children were grouped on the streets. Shirley 3aid that there was a circus coming and that a clown was at- tracting a crowd. She said, ' ' ait until you find out who the clown is. I waited and on the board that was advertising the circus was “See Evert Anderson, the best clown in the world. On my way home I decided I would go by car. Out in the country, coming out of a driveway, was a load of hay with a driver and three little boys with white hair. The chauffer waved to him and I said, Who was that? Ho said, That’s a friend of mine named Ray Kel- son. I said, Lot's stop, driver, and inquire about Mildred Strawhacker. I haven't seen her yet. ’ e ask- ed Ray where she was at. He explained that she was teaching in Oneida. I asked, By the way,what has happened to -Villis? Ray replied, Oh, he is a prosperous bachelor farmer now, and our teacher. Miss Johnson, is the mis- tress of a large colonial home in California. My trip to Paris was really a great benefit to me because I found out where all my old schoolmates were and what they were doing.

ROOM I School opened on September fir3t with twenty-three pupils enrolled in Room I. Early in October, Virginia Holcomb entered first grade thus bringing the enroll- ment to twenty-four. Soon after school opened the pupils of the second grade arranged a sand table showing the home of the three Dears. This was done for the pleasure of the first grade. During October the 3and table was used to illus- trate Indian life. Second grade pupils studied the childhood of Hiawatha at thi3 time, making booklets and also learning lines from the poem. The Indian work connected nicely with the study of the Pilgrims at Thanksgiving. Because of poor attendance caused by illness, the study of Eskimos was postponed until February, Inter- esting booklets were made and a scene worked out on the sand table. In March the pupils greatly enjoyed studying the children of Holland and the story of Kit and Kat, the Dutch Twins, was read and discussed. Booklets in the shape of wooden shoes were made during the Language period. Several parties were held during the year. At Halloween the room was decorated with jack-o-lanterns and an afternoon of games and fun ended with a treat for all.
