T0 THE SENIORS OF 1924 Seniors, we walk in your footsteps And we look to you for the way: Oh, beware, lest you should falter, Beware, lest you lead us astray. There is only one road you should follow, There is only one path you should take, The path that leads on to victory Let no one that straight way forsake. Seniors, too soon you'll be climbing Up the narrow steep pathway of life. Seniors, you soon will be struggling In the world's turmoil and strife Seniors, hold firm in your courage, Hold firm in the work you begin, Go out in the world with a purpose, And the battle of life you will win. -Marion Rider, '26. unior- I wonder what m teacher meant b ivin me a ticket to the Y Y 8' 3 lecture on Fools. ' Senior- You poor boob, can't read? The ticket reads Admit One. The Freshman stood on the burning deck: But as far as we could learn, He had no reason much to fear For he was too green to burn! If a grass widow married a grass widower, would the children be grass- hoppers? Eddie Quinn- Pa, you remember you promised me five dollars if I passed in school this year? Pa- Yes- - , Eddie- Well, you ain't gonna have that expense. Harry Hulse- Mamma, am I a canoe? Mrs. Hulse-- Certainly not, Harry, what put the idea into your head? Harry- Well, you are always saying you like to see folks paddle their own canoe, and I thought maybe I was yours. ,,-..... .i- Father Qto Wallace Colej- You are now in the very morning of life.

Ruby Rumsey, '24. Teacher- Can any of you tell me what an epistle is ? Myron England- I can. An epistle is the wife of an apostle.

SENIOR CLASS PROPHECY One evening as Arthur Garrelts and I were sitting by our campfire in Central Africa our talk drifted back to the old Salida High School days. I wonder what has happened to all the old class of l924, he said to me. So do I, I replied. Suddenly, as if in answer to our question, a small elf appeared before us. You want to learn what has happened to your old class, I believe, he said. Yes, we both replied, in the same breath. , He waved his hands and a column appeared before us. We looked and saw that it was our old class of '24, ' Norman Parker headed the procession. He, the brightest in our class, by use of his brains has become the president of the land. Cecil and Laura came next. They, of course, are married and are lifing very happily. Next came Joe Stewart, Charles Savage. John Mohrman, and Wallace Cole. They have formed a druggists' syndicate, and own a chain of stores that stretches across the United States. Mary Jensen came next. She owns a large modiste's shop in New York City and is an authority on fashions. Margaret Sandberg was the nert in line. She has not become Mrs. Lang, but is a teacher in the Pennsylvania State Woman's College, the largest of its kind in the world. Frances Mahar, the High School Y. W. C. A. worker, has become the federal president of that organization. Elaine Miller was next. She has become history and civics teacher in Salida High School, which has become one of the largest high schools in the state. Stuart Smith looked worn. He has become the head football coach in Yale University, and turns out a team each year that wins the U. S. cham- pionship. Ida Miller has become the editor and manager of the Salida Daily Times. She, with the most able assistance of Emile Cole as business and circulation manager, has built up a very large paper. Both Ida and Emile have made their fortunes in this paper. Margaret Morris followed this pair. She has become the highest paid and the best known pianist on the Lyceum stage. Maxine and ,Phyllis Goddard came next, each at the side of a man- Here the line became misty and we could not see who the lucky men were. . jim Dilley, our high school baseball star, has become a professional player and is the manager and biggest drawing card of the New York Giants.
