They were soon or- ganized under their banner of Blue and Gold, and after many hard won victories and a few notable defeats they completely conquered the Freshman outposts of the stronghold. Each succeeding year, the band, which has somehow dwindled in size to little more than half the number, chose Worthy commandants to lea.d t-hem in their various campaigns and to aid them in en- forcing rigid Uj -and militaristic UQ dis- cipline. During the Freshman year, the leaders chosen included Claude Markel as Presi- dent, Nadine Wilkinson, Vice Presidentg James Bricker as Secretary and June Den- nis Treasurer. For the Sophomore year, Walter Bricker took Claude Markel's place at the battle front, Nadine Wilkinson remained Vice President and June Dennis was Secretary and Treasurer. i.-...... These same officers continued to guide us through the Junior year. In our Senior year we again chose our leaders, realizing that only the most judi- cious selection Would bring the desired suc- cess. The following selection was made: James Bricker, President, Helen Laser, Vice President, June Dennis, Secretary and Treasurer. This last year has been decidedly the best. The Seniors have taken part in al- most every encounter, and succeeded in nearly every undertaking. In closing,'we the Class of '27 Wish to express our thanks to the Faculty. We have done our best, and although we at times failed in, or deviated from, the carefully chosen path, We have only the regret that we could not do more. The time spent in S. H. S. is to us the most precious memory that We have to recall, and we can only say to the future graduates of this institution that we Wish them as much happiness as we ourselves have enjoyed. We feel that We could not wish them more. Ji 4 ---- -- 1 frm -Q-grag'fig-M

Yi- T, New 4, , gflggmgl-Q55j',,,,.. L ...,.,,, . Glass Brnpherg Alas, twenty uneventful years have pass- ed ere it is my privilege to be seated by the bedside of the famous aviator, Russell Ans- pach, convalescing after his thrilling para- chute leap from the Moon. This morning he wanted me to read, for he was very nervous. I picked up the morning paper, and facing me, in great headlines, was the shocking news that President Bricker had caused Elsie Waines, his private secretary, to announce his veto of the Direct Primary Bill. It had been championed by Walter Elliott in t-he House and Ray Keller in the Senate. But even their unexcelled art of persuasion proved of no avail against the sturdy conviction of our President and his senatorial champion, Bob Johnson. Little we dreamed during our High School days that members of our class would play such an important part in the ruination of our nation. Our only hope is that Irene Dillon from her seat on the Supreme Court bench will adjudge this bill unconstitutional. We continued to leaf thru the paper. Suddenly we noted that June Dennis had been made Treasurer of the J. Pierpont Morgan Banking Company, and at last we were grateful that we had been permitted to give her such a, good introduction to the problems of high finance during our High School days. We turn ong the stock market discloses Emmie Buck still holding a corner on the chicken market, despite Evelyn Knapp's fight to break it. Much of Emmie's success, I hear, is due to his efficient busi- ness manager, Charlie Lysinger. fWe won- der if Charles has had time to growl? We looked on thru the paper thinking that we could not possibly find another classmate who had attained such fame, but just then we saw Francis Guthrie pictured as leader of the Civic Opera, which is being guaranteed by t-he philanthropic gifts of Ronald S-houp, Czar of Baseballdom. CD0 you suppose both are marriedlj We read an account of Harvard's 'victory over Yale. That brings to my mind the fact that George Reichert, Jr., is Professor of Municipal Government there. Time was dragging to the extent that we now glanced thru the advertising and there again I discovered names that were dear to both of us. Bill Knapp advertised as a bustling real estate dealer, while Mabel Snyder and Edith Waines were urging the world to buy sugar and spice and every- thing nice. And there was Paul Valk, now an engineering magnate, lauding his new viaduct from High School Avenue to Broad- way. We also noticed that John Moore, as President of the Shoe Shiner's League of America, is pushing the sale of discarded dental chairs for shining parlors. Ross Stroup is his purchasing agent. Hazel Arm- strong is still advertising as a. sixteen year old mannequin fand she looks itl. Evelyn Hunter is manager of an exclusive millinery shoppe. Laying the morning paper aside, I picked up the last American Magazine to read a short stoiry written by our own Doris Adams, but we could not decide whether it was impressionistic or of the humorous type. Here were also some good reviews by Alice Shoup. But Russell wanted me to read from the Ladies Home Journal, since it was ed- ited by Paul Pitney. We found there Aids for the Housewife, by Mary Allwein, and a course in home dressmaking by Phyllesse Tylocke, 300 Rush Street, Chicago. An ad- vertisement for Paramount Week told of Marie Strausbaugh, featuring with Edna Fisher, in Why Men Leave Home. There was also a picture of Margaret Barkdull's famous orchestra consisting of Margaret Boyce, Howard Guthrie, the portly Royal Kirkpatrick, and Thelma Randall. They say im '4 si E323
