Edna:-Yes, talking of holding some office, we can well be proud of another member of our High School, Doris Livesay. Here's a note from the Chicago Trib- une- Illinois Woman selected as attorney for the 'Vacuum Case.' I see that she's been Attorney-General of Illinois, and you must have heard that the Livesay Law School has a nation-wide reputation. Josephine:-Hazel, Kenneth Wohlford has invented a way of making sugar, so good-bye beet and cane. He now finds himself a millionaire. I 'guess he learned his business wisdom from a certain banker of Orangeville. Anyway, he saves his money and can rest easy for the rest of his life. Edna:-Did you see Esther Folgate while on your travels? Josephine:-Oh, yes. I saw her in Paris. She said Latin wasn't enough for her, so now she's mastered Greek and French. That is only her side line however, for she's employed as a designer in a fashion shop. And such gowns! The Queens and Princesses of Europe have become her permanent patrons. Edna:-I saw Laura Dietmeier, now Laura Moore, out near .Cheyenne, Wyo- ming. They live on a ranch and Laura actually rides those bucking bronchos as if she'd been accustomed to them all her life. Out there she is called Fatty. By the way, what ever became of our studious boy, Raymond Dean? Josephine:-I saw Raymond Dean in Cincinnati. As I passed through, my attention was directed by a sign which read. Don't miss the great iight tonight. Dean was a Jack Dempsey, Junior. He challenges The National Champion heavy- weight. Seats 535. I went and there was Raymond, our class poet of Orange- ville High. How did he ever become a boxer? I don't know, but he won, and of all the cheering! I never heard anything comparable to it. Edna:--I just ran across this note. While stopping in Kansas City, I went to a popular grocery store. Whom do you suppose were the proprietors? Why, Eugene Herdman and Clarence Zeigler! They specialize in squirtless grapefruit and love- tablets. You'd be surprised at the number of people who buy them. While I was there Echert Ebel came in and bought two boxes of them. By the way Eckert is manlager of the Morning Glory Follies. Yes, modest little Eckert just loves his wor . Hazel :-There's only one more noisy boy I'd like to know about. Josephine:-Oh, Allen Auman? He's manager of the Wild Jazzadiers Cir- cus. I took in one of his shows and there he was blacked up, clad in grass cos- tume dancing away and playing the slide trombone for dear life. Hazel:-Well, if that doesn't sound just like him. But come-you must see my La Espana Pequena. ' gs 4 ' l 19,

SENIOR POEM Four long years are past since we entered this school As Freshmen with worthy intent, And now through the strife we have kept our goal, And are Seniors, the self-confident. We are sorry to leave the dear school we love, Which has sheltered us through all our trials, But wherever life's fortunes may lead us, we know That sweet memories shall shorten the miles. Our thanks from the heart, to the teachers, we'd give Who have been our best friends all the way, Who have always been willing to lend us their aid, Tho we came to them day after day. Our sincerest hopes will always be held, For our school to win fame above all, And for us who go forth to fight the battles of life, Hope our places to wiser ones fall. To those whom we leave we would give these few words Of hope and encouragement and aid, That the lessons we learned through experience hard Shall in mind and in heart never fade. Never shun any task that might ever arise, But attack them with vigor and vim, After years of struggles and trials have passed, For our class has been proud with a prominence rare, Your ship of success will come in. l Looking back o'er those years of patient learning, A feeling of pride e'er enthralls, For the class has been proud with a prominence rare In activities where our school calls. We Seniors who stand on the threshold of Life, Join hands to wish all success, And where'er our paths lead our footsteps of life, Naught can dim the fond memory of our dear 0.
