Mr. and- Mrs. Pifer had such a large family, including two pair of twins that this statement suffices for their lack of money. In the lVilson building Grace Lenkard and Fay Mitchell were busily engaged in teaching. Grace Lenkard told me that she had just previously graduated from a conservatory of music. Later as I was traveling through a pleasant little village I chanced upon a little log cabin. The place looked so interests ing, a11d before l was aware of where I was going. I was already up to the door gently knocking, I could sca.rcely believe my eyes when Katie lllaicllonald opened the door, and after we had ex- changed greetings she tried to outline her plans. I am writing poems you know and this spot appeals to me because of the solitude and quietness of the place, llecelitly one of my poems brought me a nice little sum amounting to 21B1000, well from this I assumed Katie was making her mark in life which all her class mates had once predicted. Vivian lVolfe, who had been our president in high school, was made the gcwernor of our state, and although she once did not believe in Woman Sufferage, she now realized that politics held a place for her. Gllaaa We, the Seiiior Glass of 922, being sound in mind and body, and about to leave the school where we have diligently labored for four years, do hereby bequeath the following things with the full power of the receiver to sell, trade, or dispose of in any way he sees fit. FIRST: To Mr. Stouffer we will the future Problem of Democracy class with the hope that he will not need to do all the reciting. SECOND: To the Junior Plass we will the title Senior , and may they prove to be worthy of that name. THIRD: To the class of l23, we will our chapelseats, and Alice Landis and Ruth Brown were private Secretaries for her. Une day while attending a great play which was given by a New York Company, I saw a lady who immediaitely drew my attention. f'0f all things, I said, 'tl never expected to see Ruth Bailey as an Actress. But she evidently was talented for this work for l heard sometime afterward that her fame was known abroad. But. who would ever have expected to t.he dialogue prove a. truth where Lillian Lewis and Blair Hetrick were married. llow plainly I can remember when they were practicing their parts fo-r the acts, if anyone suggested that some da.y it would be an event in their lives, they would remark rather emphatically, f'0'h its just a dialogue? Mary Rupert had settled down on a peaceful little home- stead out west and her letters stated that she was spending her life happily taking care of her flock of one thousand chickens and five cats. ..... . The day had been so full of experiences and surprises that it soon flitted by, but in my heart was singing the songs of those dear old school days which are no more. L. E. P., '22 ill '22 may they be as fond of the front rows as we have been. FOURTH: To the coming Seniors we will our dignity, in hopes that it will not be a strain upon their nerves and muscles. FIFTH : To Ruth Bundy we will all wads of chewing gum which may be found anywhere near property of Alice Dodd. SIXTH: With the consent of Laura Parry, the remainder of the class have taken it into their hands to will her to George E. Moralee. SEVENTH : To Lee Clark we will all dice tnot destroyed by rolling over study hall floorj belonging to Frank Paese.

While Mary Rupert has a. wild eye and many ad- mirers, she shows good judgement in handling the reigns of government. Jack Pifer is the society man of the family. Many IJ. H. S. girls Stly I think Sandy has the swellest fellows tlook- ing at Jack Pifer and William Slatteryj. While Frank Pease runs a grocery store on the street, nothing else. Allen Dixon, oh, you've heard about him in il'll0f.lll-'I' paragrapll. Faye Mitch- ell is the pianist. Evelyn lleberling tl1-e speaker, Lillian Lewis the seamstress, Blair .Hetrick the wood-hick, Alice Dodd th-e actress, Ruth Brown the candy-maker, Lillian Long the chemist, Alice Landis the postmistress, Kate Mcllonald the stenographer, Laura Parry the milk maid, Ernest Ross, Oh! he's the autllor. The time was now approaching when we would leave the mild sea of higher education and hoist our sails upon the rough deep seas of life. As this could not be done without having proper ceremonies and celebrations, the Polony met and ap- pointed the following members to perfo-rm some duty which would go down into the history of the tlolony. Ernest Ross was elected hist-orian, Katie Mcllonald poet, Laura. Pa.rry prophet. The invitations were also decided upon at this meeting. Among' the conveniences acquired by the Colony was the auditorium in which the dramatic ability of the Colonies could be tested. This was promptly made use of by a. drama put on, entitled t'T'he Maid of Plymouth . The Seniors talking part in this draana. were Alice Dodd, Ruth Bailey, Ruth Brown, Grace Lenkerd, Vivian Wolfe, Ernest Ross, Jack Pifer, Blair Hetrick, Allen Dixon, and Frank Pacse. Under the direction of Miss llamilton, this was a big success. Un May of the s-ame year, the Athletic Association, under the leadership of Mr. McNeal, put on a. comedy including from the Senior Uo-loiny Willifalll Slat- tery, Ernest Ross, and Ruth Hailey. This comedy was closely followed by the Senior play directed by Miss Ha.milt.on. The title of the play was 'fStep Lively in which all Seniors took part. Amid both sorrow and joy this very busy and eventful Epoch was brought to a close, likewise the long Epoch of our associ- ations, each to leave the happy family and separate from each other to go into the great sea of life, long to remember and to be remfembered and recall in old age our happy association, and wonder about the health, wealth, a.nd whereabouts of our Pol- ony Associates. When we meet in our IIPNW life may the same spirit of friendliness and fellowship be felt that was a character- istic of the good old days. May the great Guide and Adviser guide and protect us in our long rough voyage of life for now we launch, where shall we anchor? ERNEST F. ROSS, '22. Gllaaa Igrnphvrg, 1922 1932-Just ten years after l had graduated from Sandy High, one day while reading a newspaper which was 'edited by Ernest Ross, the following announcement was drawn to my at- tention: A program was to be given in the High School Audi- torium over the Wireless . The time came at last and whom did I see, as I entered the door but William Slattery. After inquiring I found to my great surprise that he had graduated from Princeton and had accept- ed the position as the Principal of the High School. He sa.id as he was drawing a large salary, he had decided to make Lillian Long his wife and' make a cozy home for hier. Mr. Slattery invited me to his office and there introduced his private stcnographer, Evelyn Hcberling. lVhile in the office he asked, Do you remember Allen Dixon . Yes , I answered, Well he is going to giv-e a lecture over the wireless tonight. But, can he? l questioned. 1lh! hc lccturcs daily to large audiences, Mr. Slattery remarked. Of all the great surprises I thought, 'tWhat would come next? Frank Pease, a much noted inventor had given two great in-
