i 1116 Dapqrw K . X Q: PEN DELLTON SEZ: Dere Cuzzin: , I spose you have herd the news. Me an my pals is leavin skool this yere. I dont mean we're playin off, but I gess the teechers realize that we no too much all red?- Cuzzin, I'm reel sorry to no that you can's come to the finishment--I mean com- mencement, but since you can't l'll tell you about us. Twelve yeres ago fourteen of us left our mammas an starte o s burg. Them who did it wuz: Ruth Dickinls Son, Mary Golf, Myrtle Gale, Alberta Knew, ' H d L. C. Ridgway, Ester Shoe Man, Helen Siss Son, Geneva Stone Her, Horlss ar ee, Robert Fry, Mauruss Vanhoy, Pearee Loy, Wil1umvKramer, an Clarunz Stevenlns. After these fourteen had gone throo numerus cases of measles an whoopin coff we children wich added to hour class d t kool in this same wuz freshman. Then we met sum more handsome both in number an--well, I spose it awt to be called branes. Now thereis 30 of us. This is the largest class that has graduated for a long time. We are also noted for our beuty, for we have nineteen perty gurls, an well-eleven not so worse looking bois. As I have tole you, cuzzin, our class has been quite favored for we have sum very exceptshunal members. We have four furst team Baskit Bawl men, two noted orators, one clown that can't be beet, a prize home-keeper, sum well known musicians, singers, an the wlike. We also have sum that's just a good hand at anything, an them's what makes a real class.-Of course, l'll have to spoil it awl by 'sayin that I'm in it too, but remember, cuzzin, the class can't help it. Wen we wuz Freshman, Bud Reger wuz our president. Altho our problems then wuz not very weighty, Bud did his best to keep us under his thum. That yere wuz Mister Miners furst yere in this town an he's been here ever since. I gess he took such a fancy to us that he decided to see us throo skool. Mister Hariss wuz our sponser that yere an he has been this last yere too. I gess its cauze he has such a fatherly disposition. When we wuz Softmores our class wuz greatly affected by the case epidemic, an sorry to say, we're not all cured of it yet. That yere Helen Siss Son wuz elected presi- dent an as she surved urs well she wuz elected again in our Juneyor yere. Our Juneyor yere wuz one big triumph from beginnin to end! It wuz that yere wen we copped the prizes in the track meet. Our athletes wuz fast an furious. At the end of that yere we gave the glorious Juneyor-Senyor banquet. Oh, cuzzin, it wuz grate-all ceptin the worms that dropped on the gurls necks. The hall wuz decorated like a garden with locust blossoms all over. Inclluding the eats an music an excludin the hard chares an worms, we had one gran time. But not till this yere did we really get acquainted with each other. Now, oh boy, we don't hesitate at callin each other dummies, an no counts, an big simps. We can have the most fun wen we take a noshunto,cauze now's the time of all times! This yere we lected Horriss Hardee for president, Geneva .Stone Her for Vice, an Mary Golf for secretary an treashur. Conslderin who Horriss has had to work with he's sure dun fine. His mane truble has been to keep Bill Kramer an his associates quiet in class meeltins. As I've tole you our colors is green an white. Now don't laff, cuzzin, it ain't my fault. Just cauze I'm green is no sine we all iz. We got a most butiful flower, sweet an innocent just like us, the lilly-of-the-valley. Success awaits at labor's gate is our motto. I don't no wot it means, but I spect Shorty Moore an Perry Loi an sum of those kids can telll you. They always wuz work brittle. But say, cuzin, you askt me to tell you bout the kids so I gess I will. There's Peg Ackles, she's that gurl that's always laffin an tawking. Peg's awful talented but she's a specially good cook. Queer tho' for she likes Fryfdl food the best. 1926

He's sum SCTRDDST all W0l11d be Sure to :lock you out. . I toie you bout Ruth Dickins Son. She's the only Bed Head in our class. W0't She don't no bout race drivers, movie stars, and Jello, aint worth knowin. Farrell Fox is also in our class. He's the funniest guy, why he always gets the blame for everything cauze we make him giggle. Marjorie Franklin is one of us too. Boy, she's sum pippin!-I ain't the 0HlY 0119 that knows it tho'. Bob Fry is our blond Apollo. He makes a hit wherever he goes. He sez he's goin to be a doctor an I gess he'd better, for he'll have to mend the harts he's broken. There's Myrtlle Gale too. She's a midget an always in a fidget. She's a grate ad- mirer of men, specially Mister Hariss. - Mary Golf is the one that's got the black hare. I used to pull her brades, but that's all past now. I've herd tell that she's got intoxicatin eyes too, that's wot our ex-janitor tole me. Horriss Hardy, our presdent this yere, is a fine feller too even if he iz awful good at the Charleston an likes the Freshman gurls. K Mildred Keniger is a quiet sort of person. She's extra good at raisin chickens too. I think you an I'd better call on her this summer. Ole Bill Kramer i.s our star performer. Wot I no bout that man wud fill a book. No danger of him ever havin cold feet, he's always got 'em in hot water. Perry Loi is our he flapperf' His graceful antics will surely get him sumwheres. His languidge is always modest an refined. Martha Mac Callister is one of our aspiriin classmates. Wen she reaches Holly- wood, I'll let you no. Shorty Moore is my ole pal! Bein so little an sweet the 7'th graders sure have fell for him. Dot Moore is our loud spoken indiffrent daughter of Eve. Dot's boy hare cut has excited us alll. Alberta Knew is our freckled nosed skamp. If Bert ever kept still a minut it's news to me. She's got a lot of suitors, but. they don't seam to suit her. Mildred Palm Her is to pleasant fer this hard wurld. Her big brown eyes wuld make your ole hart thump, cuzzin. Bud Reger! Gee, he bon won big jollie giant. Sweede or no sweede, he sure duz teeze the gals. His sister, Thelma, iz more quiet like. Oh cuzzin, she's SUM cook! Her candy an cakeiMmmmmmmmm Boy! Opal Rose Ell is a studius gal, but wen it cums to Guy Players an all the trim- mins, that's where she shines. Marquerite Rumbler is won of hour quiet members. She's the Latin shark of our skool. N0 ponies for her! Elsie Ridgway is a motherly soul, at least she has been in the plays. L. C. intends to nurse us all wen we get old an feeble. Ain't life grand? Murle Shaul's another quiet piece! Her quiet speech has taken up quite a good deel of our prashus time. Esther Shoe Man iz our tom boy. She laffs reel often an can make sum very mean- inful remarks. Helen Siss Son is shy an small, but not insignificant. She wants to hold the high office of either president or govenor an she don't give a rap for us bois. Clarenze Steve Ins is our jazz bug. Just lately has he stepped out, but he intends to make a grate sensashun in the future. Geneva Stone Her is wot I call a peach. Her big brown eyes often wanders far an wide. I'm wonderin if she'd make a good farmers wife. Mauruss Vanhoi is our fashunable man. His apeelin voice an graceful carriage will surely get him a job as a chorus girl. Blanche Vest Tail is one of our rotund members. The main truble with her is that her mind's of de Paw. Here's hopin she don't take a. notion to give him a mitten Emile Wills Son is our quiet prince of whales. We doubt if he stays single as long as the prince has tho'. - Now ain't this a fine bunch, cuzzin? It 'ess ca ' ' to the finishment, You'll see one fine show!
