First and most important was our initiation, i. e. whitewashing the “R”. Then came a dance given by the rest of the school. As we began to find our way from one class to another we felt quite important. On February 17, 1928, we gave the Freshman dance. The school year closed with a picnic at the river. September brought the class together once more as Sophomores. After initiating the Freshmen, we gave a dance on November 23, 1928. Again we closed the school year with a picnic. Our Junior year opened with many of the original members gone from our midst. New members, however, partly made up in number those gone. On December 18, 1929 the Junior class play “TOMMY” was presented in the school auditorium. The play was a great success from every standpoint. In May came the big event of the year, the Junior-Senior Banquet, and the Prom. Of course this was another huge success. All the class are looking forward to a bigger and better year as Seniors.

THE SENIOR CLASS PROPHECY The scene is laid in a dungeon-like room in the slums of the great city of New York. The old Chinese wizard is seated in his deep chair and gazing intently into a mammoth crystal which stands on a table in front of him. The heavy prison-like door slowly opens and into his presence an old black servant ushers two visitors, instructors in Harvard University. The professors, Harold Albright and Bennett Wills, seating themselves in the offered chairs, begin the business of their call. A deep silence falls upon the dungeon, the lights are lowered and as the low rumbling voice of the Chinese wizard is heard, the precious crystal begins to glow with an increasingly brilliant light. Three pairs of eyes are fastened upon the globe, and as they gaze into its depths they see these pictures: The light thrown out now is a deep lavender. The spectators are gazing upon an opera curtain that is about to rise. As the heavy velvet curtains ascend a world-renowned orchestra is seen, with Hilda Roach playing the piano, and two other prominent figures, the violinists, Clarence Crum and Doris Beavers. They play a beautifully touching accompaniment to the enchanting strains sung by George Hutt. Seeming to appear out of a mist in the background of the stage a lovely dancer comes forward. During the dance which she gives, the onlookers realize that it can be no other than Barbara Bible. Now the globe grows dark and somber, and the spectators feel the spell of its powerful presence. Ah, this time the scene is that of the senate chamber. Many speakers make an imposing appearance, but none so sway the audience with their masterful oratory as do Jerry Housel and James Hansen, senators from Wyoming. Now they are watching a production given by the Ziegfeld Follies. Very artistic rhythm and music is expressed by the chorus girls among whom are none other than Esther Hagan, Myrtle Carter, Katharine Jacobson, and Helen Meininger. Now the three gazers find they are faced by a dwelling of majestic beauty, and gazing through its walls they find it is a home for retired business and professional ladies. They see as the owners and directors of the institution Lois Barkhurst, Mildred Gray, and Anna Hansen. Among the residents they see Eleanor Buckles, a retired journalist; and Grace Tully, retired magazine-seller. The scene again shifts to a beautiful home in Coulson’s Canyon. The professors see someone. Raymond Smith, chasing a small white dog which he catches and takes into the house so that the famous American beauty expert, Frances Nelson, can give it a marcel. The owner of the dog, Constance Shaw, kisses the darling, which she calls “Shakespeare,” and goes to finish the book she is now writing in collaboration with Julia Kirton. The old wizard shifts his position as if we were bored but our two friends are too much interested to notice this. They find themselves looking upon a quiet mountain stream in the Alps. Resting peacefully on its mossy banks they see three of their old basketball stars, Dick Anderson, retired broker; Francis Johnson, a banker; and Roy Nordlund, a famous chemist. The two professors suddenly find themselves in a building where Raymond Harper a painful dentist, and James Davis, a chiropractor, have adjoining offices. In Dr. Harper’s office they see a familiar scene—Harriet Bates taking dictation on the typewriter. The globe again throws off a bright light. The gazers see a crowded street in the city of Denver. Around a large home-like structure are gathered a group of ragged-looking, neglected children. In their midst are three women who are none other than Clarice Innes, Helen Beeler, and Corinne Le Masters—three young ladies who have devoted their lives to charity work. Mary Ann Val Dez is entertaining the children by telling them stories of knights and gallant ladies. The light from the crystal grows dimmer. This time the scene is laid on the seashore. Edward Lowe is spending his time acting as life guard and rescuing beautiful ladies, while overhead soars a new model airplane piloted by Ross Jamison. As the light fades the gazers see Frank Lujan diving into the water, he is a deep sea diver. The two dignified professors rise, and looking happy and contented, make their way from the dungeon of the Chinese wizard. “You know,” Professor Albright is saying, “I always thought the Rawlins High School class of 1930 had the makings of great men and women.” “Yes,” answered Professor Wills. “We were a fine group.” J.
