R. H. S. SEARLIHLIGHT 21 Magoon: Yes, it has worked well. Let's try some of our teacher's names. I wonder if any of them, who were our teachers, are still at Richford? Wilson: We can find out any way. Whose names shall we take? Rushford: Try Mr. Rustedt and Miss Bush to start with. Wilson: fWrites names down and takes them to machine.J Here they go. flnserts names and moves dials and switches as be- fore. Suddenly there is an explosion and the apparatus completely collapsesj There! I knew those names were too much for the machine. My ten years work is completely ruined! fCurtainJ Alice R. Magoon Doris M. Rushford Ralph H. Wilson CLASS PRESENTATION As it has been the custom in former years to present the graduating class with souvenirs with which they may remember the many good times that they have had in Richford High School, we thought it proper to do so this year, and therefore: We, the undersigned do present to the members of the Senior Class of 1926 thc following: To Wilbert Patton, a bottle of Slickum, to keep his hair straigther and neater. To James McKenney, a hammer and nails so there will be some chance of his becoming a carpenter. To Cyril Chaffee, a tin can and spools with which he may construct a Ford car. To Laura. Rounds, a cushion to use when riding in Cy's car. To Hilda Demar, an alarm clock so sl.e can get up in time for dinner. To Estella Greene, a cook book so that she can learn to cook for her husband. To Alice Magoon, a bottle of Malted Milk that she may grow a little more. To Doris Rushford, a book ent'tled Methods of Flirting, which we believe will come in handy.
