Page Twenty THE FLAMBEAU Julian Hayes is located in Chicago also. He is superintendent of the stock market there and is very prosperous. lie married an actress hut is not very happy. He inquired about Avis Hetrick. Did you know she was running an asylum for deserted cats? Her old chums, Mary and Mavme Minns, are living in Florida. Mayme was the first to be married out of our class. Homer is a proud daddy of seven children. Mary lives with Mavme and takes great interest in the children. I read in the paper that Charles Slattery has been elected Principal of Sandy High School. He always tried to be that so I'm sure you will agree with me that lie will succeed. Remember how he used to tease Stella Rhodes' Stella married a man from Washington. 1 visited with her a few days. She has nine children. I was completely dazed when I came in contact with their nurse, for it was our old friend, Catherine Saluda. Sin makes an excellent nurse. Catherine always was so patient and willing to listen to one's troubles. Florence Xaugle lives in the southern part of Texas. After graduating she took up physical culture and was very successful. She married a very brilliant man. Do you remember Dorothy Roberts? What a simple question to ask; one could never forget her, for she was the pick of the class! She married a Virginia farmer. That doesn’t sound like Dot, does it? She was always stepping out with “cake eaters” as we used to call them. She took up the beauty profession but wasn't successful. She always gave me the impression that she was to become a novelist. Mabel Rankin and Krma Connor are in the teaching profession. Krma is a mathematician and Mabel a botanist. They are typical old maids. I don’t know whether they have cats on the brain or not. While in Europe I met Mary (Judinas. She taught French after graduating from Swarthmore. She is traveling with her husband, who appears as a regular dude. I’m sure this news will cheer an old maid like you, Xora. Please answer as soon as possible, for I am anxious to hear what profession you have taken in life. I will send you my latest novel on “Travels.” Your old school chum, ELIZA KEMP. —Nora C. Bailey, ’25.

THE FLAMBEAU Page Nineteen proved a humming success. The Christmas vacation and “mid-term” passed like the flying wind. The Flambeau play, “Mr. Bob,” was a bowling success. We hope The Flambeau will be as successful. The Senior play soon followed, “Hurry. Hurry, Hurry.” It did not fall down in the reputation made by previous plays given at S. H. S. The (iraduating exercises and activities and our four glorious years together as a class, we pass out never to return again as Students of Sandy, realizing that “Knowledge is proud because she knows so much, Wisdom is humble because she knows no more.” —Avis Hetrick, ’25. CLASS PROPHECY Dreams to Awake Year—1935. Date—May 2( . “Ten years tonight since I graduated from Sandy High, I wonder if my classmates remember,” I mused as I glanced at the calendar. “A letter for you, Miss Nora,” said the little maid. (dancing at the post-mark I saw the name of my old home town, DuBois, Pennsylvania. Opening it, I read: DuBois, Pa. May 24, 1935. Dear Nora: Do you remember the day in Professor Attinger's study hall that I told you of my ambition to tour the world! I have carried out that ambition, and it has taken me exactly ten years. During my travels I met every student in the class but you, so I am writing to find out what von are doing in the State of Vermont. The month of May always brings memories of our graduation; it hardly seems possible that ten years have passed since that time. It was so interesting to meet all my old school chums and to find out their occupations. The first person I met was Anthony Talasky, in New York. He has a chain of garages extending from coast to coast. He informed me that Andrew owned a silver mine in Nevada and that he had married Olive Stiteler. Visiting Nevada I looked them up and they have a little girl that reminds me of Margaret Smith—always talking, you know. I met Margaret in Boston. She is an elocutionist and hasn’t found a Romeo vet. My tour through China is one that certainly is worth while mentioning, for I mot Neil Walters, lie has become an accomplished scientist ami author. My visit in California gave me the pleasure of meeting Dan Lewis and Fred Engell. They are in the fruit growing business. They always were fond of peaches. You wouldn’t know Fred, for he is a three-hundred weight. I found Dan without a wife but he said he still had an eye for the women. Fred is married to a Mexican girl who has a mysterious past. While in Chicago 1 attended a style show. It was a very elaborate affair; the models were dressed beautifully. Who do you suppose they were? Etha (iuiher and Catherine Ellis. They always were the models of our class. Etha is a divorced woman and Catherine is still single, but still has many suitors.

THE FLAMBEAU Page Twenty-one THE SENIOR CLASS There is a class in Sandy High, Which is the best you ever did spy; It is the best in the whole school. Let me tell you, we never fool. It is the smallest class you know. But it makes no difference, we are not slow; We study hard from morn till night. Always willing to do the right. There are just twenty-three in all, But I guess that isn’t too small; We have come through many a struggle, And are ready to overcome any trouble. There are seven hoys, I suppose you know, That they are by no means very slow. The rest are all girls—sixteen in all. They are all sizes—large to small. We are the Senior (lass, you see. That is why we are all busy. It is the Dear old Class of ’25 Which is not dead but much alive. —X. C. W., ’25.
