ALPHA I always did like to see a circus so I couldn't resist taking a peep at one on the outskirts o. town. I thought I might see some of my old friends and there, sure enough. I saw Bethel Fry advertised as the largest woman in the world. Think of it! In the magicians tent Lawrence Yetter was thrilling thousands with his mysteries. From there we went directly to Washington. D. C. where I was to receive my greatest surprise. Who do you think it was Lois Cronk. new president of the U. S. (she had some fine experience in the old O. U. H. S. ) and her campaign manager was Dorothy Campbell (Dot always was loyal.) I thought that after this, nothing could surprise me. but when I found Dick Cranston at the head of the army and navy I decided that nothing else could. (Fie owes his position to Mr. Onyett thru the Cadets. The White House was being done over for the new President and the architect was none other than Dorothy Cede. Of course she had to have someone do the heavy work and there was Bob Rutherford. He had the title of assistant architect. Alma and Jo Wickman were peacefully married (?? I didn't stay to see whether it was otherwise or not.) and were living in Los Angeles. Clyde Chase was running for mayor of San Francisco. (Did you ever think he’d take to politics?) Helen Gilbert and Anna Hayes were just leaving for the Philippine Islands where they are to sell a new mosquito killer. Wilbur Toothman (I knew his name would get him) is a dentist in the slums of San Francisco. While we were still at the wharf I noticed an elderly woman getting aboard ship for Europe. I recognized her as Bethel Turner. On the same boat Eisie Uchida was going to China as a missionary. The captain of the ship was Allan Mace (remember him) and the ship’s doctor was Clifford London. As we were going down Market Street. I heard a great commotion from the newsboys. They were calling ‘‘all about the new inventor, and when I asked who it was, I was told that it was Harry Welsh. I did not hear what he had invented. Well. Florence. I have written all I know about our old friends, so I will close, with love. Feme. P. S. How is Bill?

 4 ALPHA iMorrow Steadman Gladys McCutcheon President High Sophomores President Low Sophomores Sophomore History Did you say Sophomores? Step right up and look us ove and take it from us. Oroville Union High School didn t know what wide awake, wise, progressive, promising, original, studious, and ambitious Sophomores were until we came along. We re so wise even the Seniors ask us questions and receive answers sometimes. We have eleven Latin and fifteen Spanish students. The girls as well as the boys took an active part in athletics. Five of our members were on the Speedball team: seven on the 1 ennis ladder and several went out for Track and Volley ball. On the Girls' Football team our girls were the foremost particp-ants and Captain G. McCutcheon proved to be following in the footsteps of her big brother. I he team was a howling success while it lasted. At the Senior Farewell each class gave a skit. For our number we had a broadcasting station which proved a great success and was received with much applause. When we entered high school as Freshmen in 1925 there were eighty of us. Although we have lost fifteen of our members we are still a large class. Watch us next year! o
