The Junior Play, Brown Eyed Betty , with a cast of twelve characters, was a great success, on account of Miss Tufford's persistent and efficient training. Junior- Senior banquet. at which the Juniors displayed unusual ability in entertaining, was one of the best ever given in Simla High and was the crowning event of the year. The Seniors in 1923 had 27 members, and class officers were chosen with Thelma Barnhill as Presidentg Francis Foushee, Treasurer, Ralph Keating, Secretaryg Calvin Thierfelder, Reporter, and Miss Boyd, Sponsor. The class was deeply grieved by the death of our classmate, Fred Morgan, who will always be remem- bered for his dependability and happy disposition. This year there were four Senior girls on the first team, Marjorie, Thelma, Phyllis, and Della, who helped bring the cup back to Simla where we hope it will remain. The Tattler, edited and published by our class, went into the homes of 400 people every month and was a credit to the class. In track and literary events the class furnished its us- ual number of contestants who won many points for S U.H S. The Class play, Welcome Home Jimmy, under the supervision of Mr. Summers, was a success and fully up to the standard set by former Senior plays. Now that we are leaving the school we sincerely hope that each succeeding class may accomplish and enjoy as much during their four years in S. U. H. S, as has the class of '24,

The officers for the year were: John Riley, President: Gif- ford Shipman, Secretary and Treasurerg Edna Kimer- ling, Reporter, and Mr. Gammill, Sponsor. The Senior-Freshman reception at the first of the year, gave the students a spirit of good will and loyalty which they have faithfully kept during their four school years. Maxine Magruder and Calvin Thierfelder were mem- bers ofthe championship basket-ball teams this year, and five of the freshmen were on the second teams.

PROPHECY Ihave always had a passion for moving pictures. Come with me toa show and we will see something that will be interesting to all. A huge blush pink carnation is the first picture shown on the screen. From the center of the flower a bright and smiling face slowly emerges, and before we fullv realize what is happening a beautiful sprite carrying a nile green wand stands before us. I am the fairy god-mother of the class of 1924, she says, and I will show you some pictures which not only move, but talk. So saying she waves her wand. The first picture thrown upon the scene is a build- ing resembling a school, where Gifford Shipman is pro- fessor in explaining the whys and vsherefores of self- threading needles. Our next picture, called The Invasion of Africa , shows Ralph Keating and Calvin Theirfelder trying to introduce a new compressed breakfast fond to the na- tives. Then back to the United States. An Old Ladies' Home appears before us. In the sun parlor Pearl Lem- ley stands near the window, her favorite airedale, Lad- die Boy, at her side. The next picture shows us a White Star Liner. There we catch a glimpse of Ralph Zentz, who is now a great horse doctor, in company with other great doctors of the day. Succeeding pictures flash by very quickly, but we manage to get a glimpse of the lobby of the Liberty Theatre, New York City, and we read the posters of a play Catching Eczema written by that great drama- tist, Della C. Hammel. Next we see a Broadway Roller Skating rink in New York, owned and operated by Leslie Wood. He adver- tises Ten cents a fall. Inside we behold Marcella demonstrating the falls. In an instant before us is a scene from the Grand Op- era Rigoletto , and, as leading lady, we see Mae Tip- ton, who has replaced Mary Garden.
