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.

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!
