VVQ-hster l 1 o 1 - 0 0 TUIIUUIUII' BVHCW K In our second year, we regret to say. we caused the faculty some concern. This is how 9 it happened. VVC gave a number of debates and invited the members of the high school to t , G attend. We showed such oratorical ability that it was necessary for the faculty to deliberate three weeks in order to decide if it would be better to have us carry on the big debate, , 2 thereby disgracing the Seniors, or by allowing them to carry it on. thereby bringing disgrace x 1 on the entire school. It was only because of our age and the usual privilege for the Seniors O 3 that we declined the proposal. Here we feel it our duty to say that the Seniors really did , their best. i Thus we ended our second year, a credit to the school. Q lu 1028 we entered upon our Junior year, sitting on top of the world. Now we report to all. that we have put the high school in wonderful shape. In our spare time we gave a I . . . . . . 5 program called The Spy . lt, without doubt, surpassed all programs lntherto given within ' l the worthy walls of Our Lady of Lourdes auditorium. lYe are resting now, our daily work l considered nothing compared to the great tasks already accomplished. As a tribute to ourselves we say, may we complete our Senior year as we have completed ' l the other three years of our high school course! 1 O I L 1est'r..x l..xt'1cku.xx, '3o. -1 I t f I A 1 I ' ,l f 5 , , L a l ff N 1 '- , 1 5 1 L.

Golneke ll.lllI'lLli0lI EVTLCW Most classes in graduating from the eighth grade, enter upon the Freshman year, green, green as the grass in a well-kept park. But we, ah, we were an exception indeedl Our teachers were surprised, not- l assure yon, at an improvement, for there couldn't be one, but at our marvelous progress. All through the grades, improvement was not needed: we were the class. The faculty of the High School remarked upon the display of dignity we put forth. VVe would not listen to the folly of the Sophomores. Wie gave them an example and they soon got into line, much to the relief of the teachers who had applied every method to- get hold of the reins to no purpose. K The upper classes spoke well of us. VVho knows, perhaps it was through fear of being rivaled. At any rate, we were consulted on all deep questions, which puzzled their clouded minds. Our opinions were accepted as final. As a climax to our Freshman year, we, of course, honored the other classes by giving a Longfellow program which, to say the least, was a huge success. Xlfe don't know just how many, but we know that several seniors departed from this honorable school with a number of pointers that we gave them on that memorable occasion. From the beginning of our second year we held sway over the other classes. VVe were true Sophomores. Once again we saw our duty and performed it. The Juniors, whom we had squelched in the preceding year, gave us little trouble, but it was the Freshmen who needed an eye. They entered upon their high school career as an ordinary class, so we in pity upon their misfortune did our best to impart to them through our example those things which they lacked. l 1 l -lFz'fly-fwolb 5 5 ' CT 4 7 9 1 QKQ. ...... 3 2-,,.

That Algebra was a sticker though. I don't like mathematics anyway. Sooner write stories. You said it, jack. Isn't it funny we both have a tendency for story writing? We might be related because someone told me last night we did look alike. I wonder-if we are re-lated. But the question remained unsolved to both boys. They knew they were adopted, but just took it for granted that they were real good chums. Jack Robinson and Robert Faraday attended the Fremont High. jack was a Sophomore and Robert a Freshman, but as there were only a few high school stu- dents, roll call was taken in one classroom. Arriving at school the teacher summoned the two boys to her desk. ' The new York Press is putting on a short story contest, open to all high school students in the United States. Both of you have excellent story writing talent. Wouldn't you like to enter? Here's a leaflet giving particulars. Taking the paper in hand they noticed: First prize 35,000-Second SIOOO- Third S500-Minor prizes. Well, we might as well, huh, Jack? It would be only fun anyway. Story writing seems to be right in my nature. Same here, repeated Jack. Hand over the pen, and I'll sign my J, R. The following weeks were spent in diligent silent work on the stories. At the appointed time the stories were handed in, Jack's and Robert's being among the four stories that were sent to the New York Press. . On the twenty-first of March, the day of the announcement of the results of the contest, Robert and Jack received telegrams very early in the morning. -Iack's was: Your story has received first prize S5,ooo. Check will follow. Robert's: Story brought you second award SLO00. Letter and check will follow 1 Both boys were spellbound, but were the happiest boys in the town. Their slgories and pictures were published in every newspaper, far and near. Fame was t eirs. About two weeks later, when they were still enwrapped in their success, an elderly man arrived in town and inquired about Jack Robinson and Robert Faraday. i When the boys appeared before him he began: Good afternoon, lads. I sup- pose you don't recognize me. Well, to make a long story short, I am the executor of the will of Mr. Cassin, the noted story writer now deceased, who was your father. He stated in his will that you were sent to an orphan home when very young on account of lack of funds, and were adopted. Pictures were left and by comparing them with the ones in the paper, experts have found you are his lost sons. You are the sole heirs to the two million dollars left by him. I will see that everything is O. K. Let's be on our way to your home now, boys. Embracing each other and crying for joy, the boys exclaimed ,Tack - Rob- ertf' Now we are real brothers. It was' the result of our stories. Oh! but all that money. Let's forget about it. GERALDINE STRICKLAND, '30, of- ge '?Of1-5192991-50?--5 O41-1-,D lFifty-four?
