teams, and all other worthy activities of the school, including literary work. Three out of the five regulars on this year’s basketball team were Seniors. Doc Corbly and Carl Campbell were captains of the football teams of '22 and '23 respectively. The class play, the Junior-Senior Banquet, Commencement and Baccalaureate services are events of the spring. Others will take our places and old P. C. H. S. will no doubt go on without us, but if the Class of '24 has done nothing for the betterment of the school or for ourselves, our four years here have been wasted—so we hope that we have accomplished at least some small thing which will help us along life's way.

CLASS PROPHECY A very queer job is given to me. Foretelling what the fates should be Of our dear class of twenty-four— So the distant future I begin to explore. I see Elmer Corbly with a birch-rod in hand. Professor of language, in French he is grand. As master of chemistry, LeRoy we may see. With Gladys his helper—who else could it be? Great praise is due to Nina’s name, As our President s secretary she has won great fame. And a dancing teacher, graceful, polite, Is Mildred Kirkpatrick, her pupils' delight. Carl Campbell’s in politics, woe to his fate— He s running for governor of Idaho state. A real-estate man is Fred Elmer E., If property you wish, it’s him you should see. As farmers’ wives, 1 also can see Phoebe, Bercille, and Frances G., And Harriet 1 see a missionary brave, For Africa’s poor she freely gave. Harold Hagen’s a merchant, who’s getting rich quick; Pete Rasmussen I see a layer of brick; And the exquisite speeches Raymond has made On government troubles makes opponents afraid. As nurses in white and happy? Oh yesl In our class there are two—Irma and Bess; While Myrtle, artistic, beautiful and tall. Is the President’s wife in the White House hall. Engineer in mechanics is Russell J., And handles his tools in a learned way. As Sousa the second, Orren Pierce takes the stand— A leader of what 1 should call a large band. As school ma’ams also, there are quite a few— There s Evalyn and Sarah and Lily J., too. Stenographers swift, the number is three— I see Ebba and Zetta and Goldie C. —PAGE TWENTY-FOUR—
