. - s s ' - A The football and basket ball teams will lose McKay, Hendrick- son, and Lamb b graduation as well as many other members not associated with the teams. The Senior Girls won the interclass basket ball championship and also played an important part in other sports. The Senior class play, Second Childhood was given April 27, and went over big. The play represented lots of hard and steady work on the part of the cast and it was one of the best plays given by this school according to many who attended. The biggest and last social event of the year was the Senior Ball. Zona Pilon had charge of the General Committee and she and other members of her committee did their very best to make it the big event that it was. However, everything can't always be sunshine and success. Shadows of sorrow put our achievements in the background with the suddent death of Burl Hammond and Donald Ewing. These two students will always be remembered by the class of '28 with great respect and deep sorrow. Senior lDill E, that remarkable collection of still more remarkable boys and girls, officially dubbed the class of 1928, being of as sound and sane a mimi as could be reasonably expected at'ter our four years in this institution, have decided it behooves us to gather together a collection of our choicest treasures to bestow upon the brows of those in our midst most worthy of them. Our parting wish is that these desires be conscientiously fulfilled. ARTICLE I. Item 1. We leave to the faculty a needle and thread with which to mend all the bones we have broken i11 our mad stampede through the halls during our four years. Item 2. To the juniors we leave our nice shiny seats in the aud- itorium, together with all gum which may have accrued thereon during our occupancy, aforesaid they will find if they search dili- gently enough. Item 3. To the sophomores we leave the privilege of keeping Arthur Pearson in their midst, also the book How to Behave in Public. Item 4. To the freslnnen we leave a set of front and rear bump- ers, shock absorbers, and four-wheel brakes to be used for protec- tion purposes when rounding the corners and on the hall straight- of-way. ARTICLE ll. Certain members of the class of '28, realizing that they possess certain admirable qualities, have unselfishly resolved to share them with their more unfortunate fellowmen, and are here enumerated: Item 1. Neal McKay leaves his ability to race through high 'Fwenty-three.

1 fr .h . w- t Senior Prophecq QQ LITTLE more sulphuric acid, thought Ellis Hendrickson, as he stirred the dark mixture which was to be a world- famous invention, and into a thick mass he poured it. At once a loud report rang through the vicinity, the chemistry room filled with green smoke. When it cleared away nothing but a hole in the ceiling remained to tell the possible fate of our classmate. Fifteen years passed in a vain search for the lost man. Then one foggy night Neal McKay, star air mail flyer from the Pacific Coast, landed on a solid cloud formation and there beheld Ellis, still stirring his chemicals. After a whoop of joy Ellis continued on his invention. It would be finished next year and, until then noth- ing could make him return to earth. Loneliness was killing him, however, so Neal rigged up a radio receiver and after many groans and coughs a loud buzzing was heard and over the wires came the following: 6'Station S.VV.H.S., United States of America, broadcasting throughout the universe. Ellis became tense because he was hoping for news of his old class- mates, when be hadn't heard of for over fifteen long years. At least, after a few more squawks and screams the news ot' the day was sent out. Station S.W.H.S. On this date our new lpresident Donald Forsland will take his office, making the former sther Elbert the lady of the land. Vice- president Allen Freeman has just been impeached on account of carrying on a peanut race in Congress, the shells he threw behind the radiators. . Our great orator James Lamb, just returned from a trip a- broad, gives his views on the feminine sex. He says while in China he recognized a number of old peddlers among whom were, VVal- ter Bargewell, Helen Batchart, Donald Finch, Kathleen Coghill and Lamonte Grisham. All reported good business. Recently-SQUAWK'-G r o a ne-an automobile driven by Adolph Fredrickson collided with a Ford driven by Byron Byrne. As a result two green graves are attended to by-Della Montgomery Dewey, chief mourner. A raving maniac, Tom McGinnis broke his padded cell and killed his bed-fellow Arno Lockwood, Arno being here because he couldn't learn to lisp. Edith Anderson was wed to Jim Bettcher today, another wed- ding was that of Luretta Bishop to Elwyn Dameron. Both brides will live as near their husbands as possible. BANG!!! WHEEZE!!!
