Page Twenty-Five SENIOR HIS'FORY The Class of 1930 started its career as high school students in the fall of '2'3. Through the aid of our advisor, Miss Vallette, vie upset the high school routine by entertaining ourselves at a party during the first semester eXa1ii3. Our second year started with the selection of Miss Kaull as a competent advisor. With the aid of our little sisters, the Freshmen, we gave a dance for ourselves. A bath, for Sophomores only, came near the close of the year with a journey to Chico. Miss Spaulding proved to be the advisor se- lected for our last two years. As Juniors we made a name for ourselves when we filled the auditor- ium two evenings for our play, Seventeen, by Booth Tarkington. A few Weeks later came the Prom, featuring the Eskimos with ice, snow and igloos. The calendar rolled around in time, and it found the Seniors busy. The play, Once There Was a Princess, promised additional honor. The publication of the Arrow was an event which was looked forward to by the Whole school. Senior Sneak day, Senior banquet, and graduation, will all come in their turn, and then we shall make our exit and leave our places to other students who will follow in our footsteps. , -ff, W agp'

slsiiiora CLASS PROPHECY The other day, April 1, 1948, to be exact, while I was sitting in my private suite at my hotel, the Park, the secretary announced that Mr. Sharp, a traveling salesman for the Ceze Medical company. wished to demonstrate some of his samples to the hotel's doctor. Mr. Sharp? Now. where had. I heard that name before? I had him shown in. and can you imagine my surprise when I recog- nized Don Sharp, famous student of the Class of 1930? After greetings were exchanged, I asked Mr. Sharp where and how he had been getting along. Well, he said, I've knocked around quite a bit. After I had learned to be a doctor, I found out there wasn't much money in it, and no excite- ment, so here I am. I've traveled over practically the whole United States and all of the European countries. My! I answered, It surely seems good to see one of the old class. I wish that we could all get together again. I see a few of them every now and then when they stop in here. I've seen a lot of the old class. You know I would, traveling around so much. And thus we started our discussion. Yes, the old class has done pretty well, so far as succeeding in life. I saw Rosamond Egeland the other day when I was canvassing from house to house in New York. She is still the same, and doesn't burn toast any more, Don started out. And isn't that great about Eleanor MacDonald gaining the posi- tion of editor-in-chief of the New York Times? I wonder why Francis Flint retired. I saw Joe Cummings about three months ago. He says that being Secretary of the Navy isn't such a snap. but he's steadily gaining weight under the strain, so I think he'll survive. Have you heard anything about Kenneth Kayser? Yes, I have. He's got a job in a department store, a very good job and it's awfully easy for him. What is it? questioned Don. He's a sort of a floor-walker. When a short sales-girl wants anything from a top shelf. Ken- neth is on hand to reach it for her. It saves a lot of trouble and accidents. Well, well, mused Don. He always did aim high. I went by Ferdinand's modern ranch on my way over. That surely is a dandy outfit. How long ago did he put in all those new buildings and equipment? Just lately. There are several other old class- mates here in town, too, I informed Don. You remember the Star Cleaners, don't you? George Shadoan bought them out over three years ago. and now he has that whole half-block for his business. Pat Almich went into the meat business and now owns a large market on Thirty-first street. Lawrence Carpenter is his chief delivery boy. Have you seen the new high school, the one on One Hundred and Tenth street and Triple A avenue? Joe Cosick holds the position of chief janitor. Didn't things turn out queerly, commented Don, I ran into Marie Bridges and Pauline Bowles in Hollywood last week, They own an ex- clusive hat shop, and Irene Day is sole proprietor of a beauty shop there which caters especially to actresses. Have you seen Maurice Barry in his latest picture? No, but I saw Mary Hamilton in 'Childhood Days! It was awfully funny. And Juanita Rueg- amer is making Fox comedies. Poor Dick Kyser. He's in Warm Springs now. Is that so? What was wrong? He was going to marry Benita Mahoney but she jilted him on their wedding day. Ralph Seideman is there also. They have to keep him in a straight-jacket all the time to keep him from bumping his head against the bars. But what was wrong with him? He married Benitaf' Oh! Don exclaimed. Is Marjorie Bodine still married? Yes, and her oldest boy is Park's best foot- ball player. May Arness is married, too. She's living in England now and George flys home every week- end from the Park, where he is general manager. Speaking of airplanes, I was in quite a smash-up. Gertrude Lauson was driving me on a rush trip to Paris and, becoming absorbed in a magazine, lost control and down we came. Luckily we crashed near a coaling steamer. which picked us up. Can you feature who the captain was? Willard Swan. We were sort of bunged up, and so they rushed us to a Paris hospital. There I saw Lois Taylor, Hanna Ponath, Harriet Nelson and Margaret Car- lisle. They're all nurses, each in charge of a ward, and Grace Evans is chief surgeon. It is run en- tirely by women. Isn't that odd? Lois Williams manages a home for tired young people in New Mexico. And so on, far into the afternoon, we talked about old classmates. Don asked if he might turn the radio on. Perhaps we could hear Harry Stach- wick's famous symphony band. I learned that Imogene and Harry were happily married and that Imogene plays solo Cornet in the band. Don. in his joking manner, told me that Bill Squires was just letting things slide. Upon asking him what he meant, he laughingly informed me that Bill was playing slide trombone in Harry's band. Bzzzz-urk went the radio. Station OKMNX broadcasting. Announcer, Iva Stolp. 'Battling Joey Bowles knocks out 'Pinky' DeHaas in the second round. Joey now stands a chance of becoming the world's-gurk-whezz-fmore weird soundsb-you will now hear a campaign speech by Hilda Johnson, speaker of the House. She is here today with her able assistant, Vern Lewis, and her secretary, Ber- thine Kyser. Immediately following this short talk will be a song. 'Far. Far From Here,' sung by Jessie Everett. We listened to the program until after Jessie's song. That reminds me, remembered Don, Iola Palmer is public stenographer in a Washington hotel, and Thelma Floyd and Mary Mayer are managing a commercial department in Maine uni- versity. When I was in Africa last year I saw Pearl Speak. She surely uses tact in her missionary work. How's that? I inquired. She keeps dieting. She's awfully thin. Then, you see, she won't look appetizing to the natives. Don mentioned various others. Norman Tripp is in the drug business, happily married, to Mar- garet Shepherd. of course. Charles Bisciglia is practicing law in Italy, as is Ernest Allen in Chi- cago. William Hanson and Keith Botterud are in partnership in a large hardware store in Se- attle. Victoria Chess went to China and dis- appeared. Bunny Shannon is married fto Fritz? and Ruby Roseland is just getting her fourth di- vorce. Renna Rigdon is marrled, also. to a famous medical doctor. Rhea Wayne. Gretchen Blakeslee and Ross Winans graduated from college three years ago. and all three of them are now taking a rest. ri Page Twenty-Six
