-wif CHRONICLE 10- The following took part: Edna Kritz, The Flag on the Firing Line, by Theodore Roosevelt, Stephen Blazek, Farewell Address , by George Wash- ington, Eva Roberts, Speech to the Virginia Colonies , by Patrick Henry, William Manware, Second Inaugur- al , by Abraham Lincoln, Michael In- gelido, The League for Peace , by Woodrow Wilsong Ruth Cushing, Makers of the Flag , by Franklin K. Lane. Ruth Cushing and Michael In- gelido received two dollars and a half in gold for their efforts. In one of the corners of the trunk I found a small coin box. When opened, a bright ten dollar gold piece shone up at me. Surely I had found a real treasure, but no, a tag was tied to it with the name of Mary Mastrianni written across it. It seemed that she had been awarded this ten dollar prize by the League of Nations for writing the second best history examination in this state. Having found the contents of the first three chests most interesting, I ventured to open the fourth. This chest was battered and appeared to have been through many hardships. With difficulty I lifted the cover and found the contents entangled with a large spider's web. In the center of the web was the black demon himself, and I recognized him at once to be Depres- sion , that much talked about evil. I soon made my way through his web and found the familiar book containing the Roll Call of the Class of '33. This book had decreased many times in size and showed a list of ninety members. Be- side the names of four people was a gold star and these stars were to indi- cate them as leaders. They were: Pres- ident, Michael Ingelidog Vice-Presi- dent, Barbara Bryant gSecretary,james Kaneg Treasurer, Eugene D'Angelo. These four stars followed on under the guiding star, our class adviser, Miss Bedford. In one corner of the chest I found a carefully tied sack. Did it contain gold? No indeed, again I was mistaken, for upon opening it I found it to be only half filled with smaller sacks. Each of these was numbered and tagged as fol- lows: No. 1-Proceeds from dance held September 30th, ten dollars. No. 2-Proceeds form Cake Sale held Oc- tober llth, six dollars and a half. No. 3-Proceeds from dance held Novem- ber 25th. No. 4-Proceeds from Hot Dog Sale December 7th, five dollars. No. 5-Proceeds from Tea Dance held April Sth. In another part of the chest I found a box with a picture of a large black cat on the cover. I re- moved the cover and there lay, all topsy-turvey, twelve little dolls all dressed to represent characters. On each of them was pinned a little card telling whom they represented. Among them I found a japanese butler, a bride and groom, and a maid. Yes, I remem- bered them all as they performed their parts in the play The Cat Came Back. I was about to leave when I heard some one laugh at me, and peek- ing out from under some papers I saw a jolly negro on the front of a piece of paper. I picked it up and found it to be the program of the Senior Min- strel which did a lot to help the sack grow heavier. Reluctantly I closed the cover. There was only a small space left and I real- ized that that was just large enough to hold a debate program, a class night program, a Chronicle, and a long, white diploma. When those souvenirs have been added, the class of 1933 will be simply a chest of fond memories. Page Eleven
