(Utoa bunion On the twenty-fourth of May. 1935, the citizens of Osceola were in a state of great excitement, and the town was gaily decorated. An old farmer from Platte Valley came to town that day and noticing the hub-bub, said to the Mayor, Mr. Verne Clark: “What in tarnation's goin’ to happen in this town? Looks like a Fourth of July celebration.” “What’s going to happen! Why. the class of 1915 is going to have a reunion tomorrow. What do you suppose is going to happen?” the Mayor answered indignantly. Every train which arrived on the twenty-fourth of May brought members of the Class of 1915. Some of them would scarcely be recognized. Eda Wieseman and Vera Marquis, who lived together in the little village of Millerton, came with a bird cage, a cat, and also some ginger-bread for the banquet. They were fashionably dressed in the styles of ten years ago, and had noticeably sweet (?) dispositions. The evening train brought a distinguished foreign looking, bewhiskered, pompous gentleman. who was scarcely recognized as Mr. Martin Silverstrand, a United States diplomat in France. Vehicles of all sorts from aeroplanes and automobiles to one-horse shays and lumber wagons, conveyed the members of that distinguished class to the Osceola High School building, where the reunion was held. Lawrence Shaw, who was a great surgeon in Chicago, journeyed to the scene of action in a pneumatic tube which has lately been invented. His practice is so large that he could not spare much time away from his work, so he came the quickest way possible. Fulfilling the promise of her youth. Lalia Hinemeyer is a beautiful and stately lady and a prominent figure in high Chicago society. All the members of our faculty, with their husbands or wives were present. Mr. Moore’s hair was turning slightly gray and he now wore spectacles. Mr. Pearce had acquired a dignified look at last and was also a perfect speaker of the Swedish language. He entertained us with some Swedish recitations and they were greatly enjoyed. Miss Simpson, Miss Snyder, Miss Codings and Miss Walker are all married, though we can scarcely believe it. We feel sorry (?) for their poor husbands, but such is life. By nine o’clock of the morning of May 25, all the members of the class and the faculty were gathered at the schoolhouse. After the greetings (which took some time, as many of the class had not seen each other for years) were over the 1915 Commencement program was repeated just as it had been given that evening twenty years ago. A four-course banquet was served in the evening in the gymnasium. After the banquet, toasts were given by Mr. Moore, Agnes Newcomer and President Pike. We are glad Irene’s wish of 1915 is granted. After the banquet the members discussed their various experiences. Glenn Shelmadine, following the good advice learned while studing “Liberecht Huhnchen,” in German class, is happy and contented though not rich. An aunt has left Beulah Michener a large fortune, providing she never marries. Everyone who attended the Commencement exercises May 25, 1915, remember how well Bess Gylling’s vocal solo was rendered. She again favored us with a beautiful solo which proved even more successful than the one given in 1915. Her husband acompanied her on the piano. John Bittner is a very able lawyer, so we know whom to employ if we want a divorce. Vera Marquis has grown considerably and her wish to be tall is now fulfilled. We are glad that Lawrence Shaw is now wealthy (?) enough to afford all the mashed potatoes, chicken gravy and cold milk he wants, as he once said he was very fond of these articles of food. Fortune has favored some of our class and “Miss Fortune” has visited some of them. But all were happy and cheerful and every minute of the day was thoroughly enjoyed by all as were all our good times together in High School days. SENIOR. Fifteen

ahr S’pntur-ilmtuir Stmpttmt On April twentieth the Juniors were surprised and pleased to receive nifty invitations from the Seniors for a fall festival. We met at the home of Lawrence Reed at eight o'clock. As soon as we entered we noticed that everything had the atmosphere of fall. Even if it was April, autumn leaves seemed to have been gathered from some trees which are unknown to us. After choosing partners, cocktail was served. This was followed by having Mr. and Mrs. Moore suggest that we play “Follow the Leader.” which we all did, and after some walking (.and unnecessary walking) we found ourselves at the home of John Bittner. Santa Claus must have been visiting here as no decorations could have been so beautiful unless Old Santa made them himself. While the heavy course of a grand dinner was being served, we had the pleasure of having Miss Cooper and Miss Bittner entertain us by vocal duets and solos. We again followed our leaders and soon found that there was a long walk for us. but nevertheless these walks were enjoyed by all. At Lawrence Shaw's the atmosphere was spring. Here we danced around the May poles to the music of the Victrola. We were glad to again choose partners, or perhaps find them, and were served refreshments. Our leaders, Mr. and Mrs. Moore, now led us to their own home. Here it was good old .summer time. Our sherbert and cake was relished under the trees while the Victrola furnished the music. Then a different game was played. Instead of “Follow the Leader it was “Choose your Leader or Accept (except) your Leader.” This game directed all to their homes. There could be nothing but sweet dreams afjer such ;.n enjoyable evening. (Lhr (Earks During House (leaning season the Junior girls all of a sudden became Tacks. We don't do much “tatting but lots of “chatting at our regular “Klub” meetings. If you hai pen to find a room full of tacks that may be our club room. Our meetings are so very important that one Tack walked two miles to attend. Although she was almost kidnapped the Tack Police Force res- cued her. So you had better be on the good side of our Tack Police Force for they may help you out of some trouble too. some time. The Tacks are much honored by having a member of the Faculty as one of our Klub. So here's to the Tacks of 'sixteen. Who are just about to close this scene.
