Schoolmates for Twelre Years The Class of 1941 is proud of the ten students who have had twelve years of schooling together, at Delta. These people have stuck together for twelve years and all are still the best of friends. Now, as these ten people are about to step out into the world, we hope they will remember the rest of our class as good friends along with their classmates of twelve years. Seated: Arlene Cooper. Elizabeth Soule. Joy Lehman. Ruth Newill. Sadie NJaim. Back Row: Clifford Leu. Kermit Hatfield. Billy Abbott. Richard Falor. Not pictured: Bertha Nash. 23

Class Prophecy • Continued his players on Pine Tree Milk. The other four boys are coaching at the four largest colleges in the country. Good luck, boys. Now Miss Rhoad, I’ll have some of the rising powder that you’re holding. Here we see the famous chemist, Elizabeth Soule, intent on a new formula. Her helper, Louise Murray, is holding her ears, and the secretary, Betty Lambert, is busily taking notes in shorthand. Look out, girls, it may explode! What’s this? Reverend Carol Smith is performing a double wedding ceremony. The main characters are Ruth Newill and Betty Nugent. The minor details are Max and Punk. The wedding ends and we see the party leave the church. One of the last to leave is Marie Hoffman; she seems to be looking for someone. Dale Linn hurries up to her and they leave together. That’s right. Mr. Ruggles, I did almost forget to use that particular acid. Just one drop added and we’ll see what happens. We seem to have joined the Navy. At least there is Clifford Leu in regulation naval uniform. Virginia McGhee is on the upper deck. She is one of the nurses aboard the ship. There is Wilma Watkins; she’s always on hand when the fleet comes in. Watch out! Duck! Here comes a plane. Well, well, if it isn’t Wayne Lenfestey showing off. He must have lost his engaging bashfulness. He is hurrying to the dinner for the F. F. A. (Famous Flyers of America). Wayne McQuillin is guest of honor. He is going to give a talk after the dinner. What have we now? Mm-mm, not so good. Paul Osterhout and Charles Keeler are having trouble with their track teams. How about helping them, Mr. Koppitch. Since we have put together everything that the formula calls for, we’ll cork the flask and see what happens. Well, well, still more scenes. This is the Metropolitan Opera House. Just look at that male trio. There is Herbert Thayer, Herbert Frey and Paul Savage. Their voices are good, aren’t they, Mr. Hartman? You say you haven’t heard from Eileen Trigg and Virginia Trowbridge? To tell the truth, they’ve probably gone on a vacation between pictures. Yes, there they are on a ranch. The pictures are gone. Miss Nau, what have you to say about this wonderful discovery? It will revolutionize the world. One can buy a small bottle of this marvelous compound and locate all one’s classmates. What name do you think should be given to it? How about Class-of-One-Thousand-Nine-Hundred-Forty-One”? Is that satisfactory? Good! Now let us adjourn to a more pleasant place to have tea and a pleasant little chat. 22

Senior Class Play Front Row: Wayne McQuillin. Joan Williams. Elizabeth Soule. Sadie Njaim. Marie Hoffman. Virginia Trowbridge. Joy Lehman. Ruth Newill, Arlene Cooper. Second Row: Carl Bratton. Junior Shelt. Paul Valentine. Kermit Hatfield. Clifford Leu. Richard Falor. Glen Gamber. What a Life,” by Clifford Goldsmith, was presented by the Senior Class on the evening of May 9, 1941. The action of the play is centered around the mischievous Henry Aldrich of radio-fame, with the setting supplied by a time-scarred, slightly decadent school building. Henry’s many misdemeanors result in his being constantly reprimanded by his teachers and the principal. His activities are culminated by the accusation that he was responsible for the disappearance of the band instruments. Foreboding as this may sound, the story is delightfully humorous throughout, with a romantic element furnished by the assistant principal and the secretary. 24
