will BITTER SWEET Helen Dury and Marie Eckley had attended a Beauty Culture College at Kunkle Ohio and a few years later had started at Beauty Parlor at Alvordton. I was very surprised to hear the announcement of the marriage of Kathleen Crommer and Paul Ewing, the groom having become a noted politician of the Democratic party. At the end of two blissful weeks there was a great quarrel which resulted in Paul's application for divorce. I ,N 'S mg, if x N574 Z Q, .K - 1' '. ' Q 4Et Q ' . ,gwvaiif - f ' K New i, v , J K. 7 ! Ai 1 Arthur Steele, a famous lawyer of Ransom, Michigan, was employed to settle their estate. Doris Adair had accepted a position as floor walker in the Five and Dime Store in Bridgewater Center. Later she had become a member of the Senate, and was very influential on the Prohibition question. Kathryn Ely was successful as a saleswoman in the ready-to-wear depart- ment of a large retail store in the east. She made frequent trips to Paris, and brought back the latest fashions to Pioneer. Mary Hibbard went to Hollywood where she was trained to become a movie actress. Her first public appearance was at Steamburg, Michigan. Every Tuesday from XVAZ radio fans listen to Ruth Dunbar play her Grand Musical Masterpiece on the jew's harp. Martha Dohm had married a minister and become a valuable partner in her husband's chosen profession. She was very influential in assisting his little flock to walk the straight and narrow path. Dorothy Badgley, an accomplished pianist and Warbler had become a mem- ber of the Lyceum Course. While traveling through various little towns she had met a very enterprising young man, Leo Mull, who then accompanied lier. The picture faded, and slowly and reluctantly I returned to the land of reali- ty. But in order never to forget the revelations I had seen, I have recorded here the glorious future of the Class of '30, -Frances Som-mcrs. Course of Study The course of study for the year 1929-30 has been planned in accordance with the state regulations, and has been approved by the State Department of Education. Although the teaching staff is rather small, according to the number of pu- pils enrolled, we are able to offer a variety of courses, due to the competent teach- ers selected. These courses being sufficient to meet the 1'equirements for practi- cally any college. The High School courses may be classified as Business, Teachers Training, Liberal Arts, and Scientific courses. This year several new classes have been started. A full credit given in typ- ing domestic science and a half credit in public speaking. XVe feel sure that our High School courses are benehcial and that by careful selections of the difficult studies on the part of the student that our scl'ool will rank high in comparison to other schools of our size gm JI' lil fe' .:,. hm N 1 x 1 Q 7 .

QIT' fs 1, '-' X Z- Q , BITT ER - SWEET .-,RJ 1 mf' , lx, xg 1 .ggi The Class Prophecy It fl' L- For two years I had been grinding away hours in an office-never a chance V , to get a breath of good country air to relieve the monotony. My mind was al- A ways on facts, and statistics, without a single opportunity for imagination, or ap- dv b preciation of Nature. Never ending routine monopolized my whole life. Q' And then, there came a change. My company asked me to go to California, to transact some important governmental affairs. Of course, it was still business and I must still be concerned about facts, but nevertheless, I was to have four ' entire weeks to myself. Four weeks to make up for the two years that had nar- S' rowed me so. Is it any wonder I completely forgot myself in great outdoor country, and Q just roamed about aimlessly? It was on one of these strange wanderings that I met the most colorful crea- ture I ever encountered. It proved to be a gypsy woman who was clad in a very 'E I shabby but attractive costume, and was kneeling down in front of a small log fire. As I had not been able to communicate with any one for several days, I went : near her, and While standing there noticed that she threw some kind of a powder - into the flames. It must have been magic, for immediately visions of the ac- complishments of our own classmates were revealed. I watched intently, for I had not heard from any of them since graduation. Ralph Cummins had extended his executive authority by becoming manager and a well known actor of the Wild VVestern Show at Jimtown, Ohio. He had taken unto himself a charming wife, Marie Hillard, who was a celebrated typist H p and dancer. jacob Rigelman had become Americas most famous prize fighter. Delpha Spieth had exhibited her talent as an artist in the Bruce Anders Mu- seum at Frontier, Mich. Delpha had as her accomplice, Edmund VVhite. It was n predicted that the two of them would be known as the NVorld's Greatest Artists. Helen Creiser and Arlene Moore had taken up Nurses Training at Betzer, Q W Mich. and later established a hospital in Pioneer for all stray cats. Every Tuesday evening the radio fans turned to station SVVAK to hear Vtfar- ren Smith who had become the successful minister of the First Presbyterian church at Primrose, Ohio. Zatella Wolf had developed into an accomplished pianist who played at all the operettas, under the direction of Miss Hays. A Ralph Yoder had attended an embalming school and later had become a suc- cessful undertaker in Pioneer. Leota Ogden was his assistant. Fauster Hill and Edwin Mundwiler acted as Superintendents in the Child' ren's Reform School and they saw that all the occupants paid strict obedience to Ag the rules. E ' Dorothy Brewer, a well known Beauty Culturist, was employed at the J. S. ' H .- . ' Anderson Beauty Shoppe at Fayette. - - Clayton Converse was lauded as the greatest aviator of his time and second ence Sumner Loren Robison and Robert Keck accompanied him. w ,fi 19. , We ' Q Q- , . ju., , . myf3x.f?sQagfgA ' E14 Plnxmiclc HIGH scuoor. 1930 P9 s-'N-gap' - x A LY hiat- YW.
