Next in New York, we see a Studio of Dancing and we decipher the name of Grace Bussel Instructor. She advocates the Castle Gait only. Then we see Bryn Mawr where Phyllis is coaching basketball. We notice she employs the pivot play only, so that the team resembles six smallcyclones. The scene becomes familiar when the prairies around Simla is next shown. Then Main Street. where we recog- nize Frances with her husband, a young Simla Million- aire. No his name is not Kimble. Margie is evidently married too, name withheld, but we see she is assisting the new proprietor of the Farmers' Union. And Ray runs a popcorn wagon on Main Street, and has alittle frozen-dainty wagon tied on behind. Then a flash of France where we find Mary Bowers, and from the setting, we judge she is pursued by many noblemen. Foremost amonga group of American Ambassadors next shown, we see Clyde Morgan, who is ambassador to Japan. We always felt his mania for high place s would secure for him some degree of elevation in this world. Then a church is thrown upon the scene. People are crowding and jostling in their eagerness to enter ard hear John Carner, the greatest evangelist the world has ever had. His methods are of whirl-wind variety --- even rivalling Billy Sunday. Then we are taken to a studio in Hollywood, where we see Thelma Barnhill, who has made a wonderful success in the Movies. They say her salary equals that of the President. Next We are shown Congress in session with Finley. Democratic leader in the Senate. Swaying all with his marvelous eloquence. Next before us is the City Auditorium in Chicago where a flaming electric signboard advertises to the world that Edna Kimer-ling is making a cross - country tour and lecturing in 33 different languages on the sub- ject The Perfection of Woman's Garrulity . From here the scene shifts to Ireland where Tom. who is called the American Caruso, is traveling. Mai ie is his pianist. Next we see the Palatial Palace of Iceland, and there is Edgar Haycook as President of that great domain. We see Alta teaching a school of cowboys in Jerk Water, Montana. The fading scene gives place to the tlush pink car- nation into vi hich our fairy vanishes with a parting wave of her nile gieen vsand.

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.

CLASS WVILL We, the class of 1924, being about to depart from this life as High School students, do hereby wish to draw up our final will and testament for the sake of bequeathing all the faculties we ever possessed to those prescribed below: To the teachers we will the obedience, love, and re- spect that we have failed to show them in the past four years. To the Juniors we sadly leave all the seats in the rear of the assembly, seats which only grave and dignified Seniors may occupy. To the school, on account of our departure, we leave much sympathy until the obstacle can be overcome. To those of the printing class we bequeath many hours of blissful pleasure of editing next year's annual. We leave our books to the District, in a worse condi- tion than we received them, on account of such inten- sive and thorough study, but regretting thatvie could not have done so long ago. Calvin leaves his throne as fusser to Albert. The cozy seat occupied most of the time by Tom and Pearl we give to Dwight and Mildred. Ralph Keating leaves his oratorical powers to Lloyd Kimble for the future betterment of the Literary world. Marie, Grace, Alta, Edna, and Marcella leave their membership certificates of their Nymph Dancing Circle to Alice Lewis, Lois Cusic, Agnes Symes, Lois Tefft, and Myrtle Moody. Ray Butler's speed while running the quarter we give to James Sims. May he use it judiciously for the
