of the fourth year was eight, which were these: Hlvera, of the House of Miller; Dagny, of the House of Owen; Esther, of the House of Kari; Ksther, of the House of Hansberry; Jenny, of the House of Long; Gladys, of the House of Ramsey; Shirley, of the House of Caldwell; Aster, of the House of Moore, who now speaketh these words of wisdom unto you. So, it has come to pass, that of the ten and one who did enter this land in the nineteen hundred and fifteen, only eight will depart, for verily, verily, I say unto you, that broad is the gate and wide is the way that leadeth to the High school, and many there be that go therein; but straight is the way and narrow is the gate that leadeth to graduation, and few there be that find it. Four years hath the class of nineteen and twenty so- journed in the land and gathered the fruits from the tree of knowledge. Now, I say unto you, they depart hence to go each a Separate way to lands they know not where, to do they know not what. But it is written, ‘“How much better is it to get wis- dom than gold and how much better is understanding to be chosen than silver.’’ And now, may the blessings that ever attend the noble and good, rest and abide with us each and all. Class Prophery June 8, 1950. It was in the year 1950 while making a tour of the world, in an airplane, that I met all of my classmates of 1920. I remember the days we used to spend together at the U. H. S., talking about the airplanes. Little did I think that I would ever be so lucky as to tour the world in one. In my plane for the tour I decided to visit the Old World first and then tour the United States. I started from New York after an early breakfast, and landed in Paris in time for a French dinner. I rested that night and saw the sights of Paris the next day. While walking along the busy streets, one of the large “SEA BREEZE”--PAGE 17 er hel

that things were as they were, and did give them thanks to the class of nineteen and twenty for the pleasure they had provided them. And it came to pass, in the same year, that each in the class did sit for a picture; and that, when it was done, disgust was upon the face of the whole class, and they were very much angered, for each said; ‘‘My picture looketh not like me, but the other pictures are true images of the persons whom they represent. ’’ Now, the fourth year in the history of the class of nine- teen and twenty hundred has been one of much labor; for pre- parations have been made for them to take their departure from the country. Now, it came to pass, that the class began to wish for badges befitting their station; and many messages were sent to the neighboring cities to the merchants thereof for samples of their fine jewelery, and at last the class was satisfied with their choice, and rings were purchased and the class rested well content. Now, it did happen long years before, that a. certain writer of much skill did write an poem and he did make a captain of a ship say, ‘‘Tonight we launch. Where shall we anchor ?’’ Now, it came to pass that the class of nineteen and twenty hun- dred, finding themselves in the same place as the eaptain, in that they knew not where they should go, also did give utter- ance to the words: ‘‘Tonight we launch. Where shall we anchor?’? and did adopt them as their motto, and they and those around them did rejoice. And it came to pass that a certain fair member of the class having been given the one talent of making words rhyme with ‘the other, did write for the class the words of a poem. And another did write a will, and other a prophecy so that each member of the class did write upon sheets of palimpsest all the great and wonderful thots they had learned. . And also did the class, feeling themselves most brave, chose to be one of their colors the crimson hue of courageous blood; and for the other color, the green of the trees to show that they did mean to be strong and be seen by many people. And they did chose the red rose bud for their flower. Now, it came to pass, that many did depart from the land and some few did enter so that the whole number at the end PAGE 16-- SEA BREEZE

theatres attracted my attention. Looking at the pictures in front of the theatre, I saw a photograph which looked very familiar. Upon examining farther, I saw it was Esther Kari, who had become famous as a fancy dancer. I decided to find her and upon consulting the manager, I found she had a beautiful home not far from the show. I im- mediately went there and luckily found her at home. We had a wonderfhl time talking over our old school days at the U. H.S. She served an elaborate dinner and invited me to attend the show. I must say she danced beautifully, quite fulfilling the promise of her high school days. After spending this delightful time with Miss Kari, as she preferred to be called, I went across the channel to England. T had taken a room in one of the large hotels in London, in the congested portions of the city. All of a sudden I heard a crash and some glass breaking. I went to the window and looked out to see what caused the con- fusion. There was a woman of about medium height standing by a little short man. He was holding some books and a ham- mer. I then went outside and to my great surprise I found it was —I know you all know, for who could be a suffragette leader but Aster Moore. I went up and talked to her, but she said she couldn’t wait very long, as she had some more windows to break. She introduced the little man as her husband. She said he was very devoted and took care of the children and did the housework while she was out in the political world. I was very sorry she couldn’t talk longer, but I found much about her in the English papers. My next visit was to the Sahara Desert. I don’t know whether our landing place could be called a city or not, but nevertheless there were a group of tents here. One of these was the tent of a group of philosophers, who were touring the world, interested in Hinduism, Mohammed- ism, and other eastern faiths. One of the women, a dark haired, still very young and at- tractive appearing one, was busily chatting with an Arab PAGE 18--“SEA BREEZE“
