Our first class meeting resulted in the election of Berniece Vickrey, president, Harold Penn, vice-president, Lorma Flott, treasurer, and Harold Zimmerman secretary. As Freshmen We enjoyed many good times, among them a Hal1oWe'en party at Sam J ackson's, a party in the high school gym, and a picnic at Sun Springs. Our Sophomore leaders were: Elra Noell, president, Joseph Aberle, vice-president, and Gladys Dexter, secretary and treasurer. The chief so- cial event this year Was a Freshman-Sophomore party in the high school gym- In 1925, a Junior Class of forty members again enrolled in S. H. S. to enjoy a studious and social good time. The officers elected for this year were: Harold Ralston, presidentg Robert Murray, vice-president, Melba Durst, secretary, and Clarine Christiansen, treasurer. The Junior-Senior Reception, our greatest event, was given in the high school auditorium, April 2, 1926. The Junior Class play, Green Stockings, Was also a big event. In the fall of 1926, the Freishies of 1923 entered S. H. S. as Seniors in all their glory and dignity At the beginning of the school year of- ficers chosen to guide the class in its many activities were Robert Murray, president, Thelma Carpenter, vice-president, Berniece Vickrey, secretaryg and Joseph Aberle, treasurer. The Seniors feel that they indeed have a class to be proud of as they are Well represented in athletics, scholastic attainment, musical ability, etc. Now, as We are drawing near the close of our four year journey, We trust that We may go on with our various pursuits in life with as much en- thusiasm and determination as we have lived up to our class motto Im- possible is Un-American. We wish our brother and sister classmates the best of luck and success. f' 'N i 1 ..,.,.,.,,, , .vs-.-.'..'..,...7.. K-1 97,33 7 .. in I, 20

, XO CLASS PROPHECY I was weary of the toil and ncrvous strain of graduation week and wishing to seek ri quiet haven where I could have perfect rest and recuperate before entering on actual duties of life for which my Normal Training Course had prepared me, I took the train and was swiftly wafted away from the scene of my youth. After riding for days on the train they called the Cannon Ball, I stepped out at the edge of a great body of 'water whose extent I could not guess but whose waters washed strange lands. Feeling that this was the land of perfect rest, I sank upon, the soft moss to cone- tcmplate my surroundings. All at once I heard a rustling sound and there appeared be- fore my eyes a phantom form and it said: am the spirit of prophecy, the angel of things to come, and with her mystic touch she rolled back the curtain of the dim Beyond and permitted me to gaz-5 down the vista of things yet to be, that I might be- hold all things that are, transformed into all things that they shall yet become. Then pointing down long avenues in the strange land she said, Now your eyes are epen and the future is made clear to you, prophesy to members of the Senior Class of 1927 in S. H. S. what things shall come to pass in their lives as the years roll on and the sands of time run out. In the distance I beheld a great building and rising from my mossy seat I sped thither to see what it might contain. I soon found that the Spirit of Prophecy had eli- minateil both time and space so that what seemed moments might be years and what seemed rods might be thousands of miles. As I entered the building I found myself in a strange land and among strange people. A brightly dressed guard bowed low as I entered and I asked himf to show me the master of the house. He led me through many hallways and at last into a splendid room. As I entered a young lady arose from her desk. As I approached her I fairly screamed-Fern Yost. Yes, there she was, having realized her highest ambition to be head of a great mission school. I soon found out that Camille Bowman was head nurse in the hospital connected with the school. Fern summoned her in. I soon heard beautiful music in thc distance. I went in the direction from which the music seemed to be coming. At last I entered another great building where a splendid orchestra was entertaining a large audience. What place is this? I asked of the usher. This is the Burke Institute of Music. That is the owner leading the orchestra. They are all his pupils. He employs dozens of teachers and has many hundreds of stu- dents. He is a musical and business wonder! As the music ceased I shook hands with him and sure enough it was our Elgin Burke. When I had recovered from my astonishment I asked him if he knew anything of Horace Moulton. Yes, he has made such a success that he- is now one of the head men at Anapolisf' Then I asked him if he knew where Earle Shulenberger was. Yes, he is pastor, with two assistant pastors under him at the largest Methodist church in New 'York City. The next day Horace came up for a visit with Elgin so we all went to see and hear our classmate Earle Shully in the pulpit. We happened to sit down by a person who looked very familiar, and who should it be but Frances Hughes. After a brief conver- sation I found that she was making money fast as an interior decorator. The crowded city vanished and I stood before a splendid home in the midst of a great orchard. While wondering who the prosperous owner could be an automobile drove up and a very self important gentlemen alighted and-ein spite of his mustache I recognized Joseph Aberle. He said he had developed a seedless white blackberry that Burbank had tried in vain to produce and from it he had made a fortune. After congratulating him on his success I began to inquire about our scattered class. Have you heard of Ina Root? Yes, he replied, she has just been elected state senator in Nevada. I told him I always knew Ina had executive ability. James Martin was always a smart chap. What do you know of him? I guess, we 1 1 .. . . , .f 'W .-ee ?' I.
