Terms: Strictly cash, as we can not hang around here in future years trying to collect debts. What do I hear offered first? Frank'Fries and Eddie Amann: We have our famous wads of gum to oifer. We hear three and four cents. Gone to Richard and Sylvester Roth. Rose Schindley and Anne Minardi: Silence is Golden, but for more gold we will leave it to some one who is in need of it.

Kramer says fifty cents a lesson, Westrick oders fifty-five, but Frederick Cripps gets it for fifty-six cents. Fred Zurcher: VVho wants guarantees of neat English papers? An eraser, ruler, pen, and ink. Does no one bid? Then, they go to the L-A-H oilice and the future staff members may use them.

Genevieve Kuhn and Lucille Grossweilerz VVe don't know what to sell. Oh, yes, we'll sell our book entitled Punctuality . It is pretty well worn out from its usage. Nevertheless the remnants are sold to Helen Merner and Claire Tomosko. Ruth Fay: I have my job to sell-the work and worry of the Look-A-Head in future years. The Junior class gets it if they promise to continue the work hereafter and succeed in winning All-American honors as the staff achieved during the past year.

To St. Paul's athletes we will the vacancies at the demise of some of its stars. To the Juniors we donate an unlimited Supply of mid- night oil to be used before examinations. We also give our successors all our Senior Privileges and the joy of trying to get them. President Smith: No doubt by this time you're tired of our lengthy sale so we will sign off.

Secretary Englert: We leave all our books to the Jun- iors, and everything that is left to those who may have use for them. CLASS MOTTO VVe have learned during the course of our few years of life, that every day of our existence is in a large measure a preparation,-a building,-a laying of a stone in the foundation of the future. Every single act of our daily lives,-yes, even every thought,-is leaving its mark either for good or ill, for strength or weakness, upon the char- acter we almost unconsciously are busily engaged in form- ing. Every victory we gain over self makes us that much stronger, and makes the next battle that much easier to win: every good deed we do paves the way for a second good deed: every lesson we learn makes the succeeding les- son casier for us to master. We have been sowing seed all the days of our past lives,-we shall be sowing seed all the days of our lives to come, for as every day that comes is only a culmination of all the preceding days of preparation, every step onward in the journey of life depends upon the step we are taking now. The old maxin tells us: Sow a thought, reap an action: Sow an action, reap a habit: Sow a habit, reap a character: Sow a character, reap a destiny. Build for character, not for fame, Is the best motto in every way. One who's fair and plays the game Finds it easier every day.

Islay-Jane, 1930 Look-A-HEAD Page 25 CLASS PROPHECY ' NIC sunny afternoon while strolling through the O park I became exhausted from the heat of the summcr's sun and sat down heneath a tree to rest. While watching' the birds flying: through the air, my attention was attracted hy thc pictures which the clouds wcrc forming.: in the sky. At first they were very dim, Init the lllUl't' I looked at thcm. the more vivid they hccamc. 'l'hc lirst picture was that ot' a beautiful garden in which sat a young man, sketching: the scenery about him. As thc picture became clearer, I recognized the face of Victor llcss. Sincc Yic's graduation, he had hecolue an artist. At thc next change of the cloud's position there was a large door which seemed to open into a school room. At a desk sat the teacher as sclemn as could he. After a second glance at her I discerned the face of Monica Fay. Again thc picture changed and I saw before me a large gymnasium class. And of all surprises, it was conducted by my former classmate, l.aura Myers. This was I.aurie's ,lcrcatcst ambition, and I was glad to see it fulfilled. Another change took place. This time I was gazing into a large auditorimn, packed with people. Slowly the stage curtains were drawn apart and who should step forward but Frank Fries. llc was all dressed in his Sunday-go- meeting clothes and ready for a famous speech. At last hc could say all that he wished without any interruptions. As the picture faded away, a prominent hospital ap- peared. I was wondering if there would be anyone whom I would recognize, when the door opened and out stepped Marcella Bauman. She was all dolled up in a white uni- form. She looked handsome. At the same time an automobile drove up in front of the hospital, the door opened, and Norbert Englert alight- cd. llc handed Marcella a few packages which had been ordered from his drug store. These clouds gradually disappeared and this time showed the inside of a beauty parlor. .lt was beautifully equipped and each of live young girls, at a table of her own, was husy at work. The knoh on the door turned and one girl whispered, Here comes the boss. VVho should walk in but Genevieve Kuhn. I could hardly believe my evcs. A fcw minutes later a large New York newspaper of- licc Ulllllt' into view. I thought I recognized the voice of the editor as she was talking with the reporters. Soon I saw none other than Ruth Fay, our High School Editor-in- Chief of 1930. A slight movement of the clouds brought before my eyes the sign Miss ll. Rxeamer, Insurance. I became quite anxious to learn if it was Bernadette Reamer, my former classmate. Strange to say. hehind the sign I could sce llcrnie at a desk carrying' on her father's business. Another transformation hrought hefore my eyes an of- lice door on which was inscribed, F, Z. The Poet. I wondered who that could he and when the door opened, lo! behold! It was Fred Zurcher. The clouds rolled on and Agnes Merner was sitting at a cash register. This was in one of the large departlnent stores in New York. In the same scene Mary Logan was shown in charge of the ribbon department. Pictures of the town stores seemed to remain in the clouds, for it next brought a neat butcher shop before me. Just then, the butcher, Norbert Gallam came out to get some oysters which were in a can in front of the market. Again the picture altered add I saw Ruth Ott carrying a small brief caseg she seemed to be in a great hurry. I looked for information froln the inscription on her brief case. Imagine my surprise when I discovered that she had become a lecturer, going from school to school lecturing on Leisure Time. An altogether new scene was forming. It was an otiice in a large concern. The president of the company was at his desk ringing for his private secretary. What a shock to my nerves when in walked Mildred Camp in all her glory looking for a hard day's work. ' As the clouds kept rolling on I spied a cafeteria in their midst. What a surprise to see in brilliant lights the name George Wenzel's Cafe above the door. The next formation revealed a charming hat shop right in the heart of the city. It was called Ann's Hats. Anne Minardi was fond of pretty hats and now she had a shop all of her own. While looking into the shop, Lucille Grossweiler walked in. She was running a pretty little shop next to Anne. She wanted to borrow a red hat to induce a woman to buy a red dress. Another picture was formed. It was that of a large New York bank engineered by Edward Amann. Eddie always had been our class treasurer and now he surely had enough money to handle. Again a change of position took place in the clouds and 1 saw a beautifully decorated tea room called Rose Tea Room. I was wondering who the mistress of that place could be, when I saw her coming across the room. Oh! I thought it couldn't be, but surely, it was Elizabeth Metz. l was thinking and wondering what had become of Rose Schindley when suddenly she appeared in the clouds as the matron of a large home for orphans. I saw our jolly friend, Norbert Roeder, in the next change, as the lord of one of the largest farms in the world. He had many men under his supervision and was fast hecoming a wealthy man. Upon another alteration appeared Mary Smith in a class room surrounded by kindergarten children. She seemed to like her work very well. The last of my schoolmates now appeared. It was Louise Strimpfel. She was in the Real Estate business and doing fine. She was quite a busy woman. 1 now felt rested and had enjoyed the scenery of the clouds very much. I was very glad to find all my class- mates happy and well situated. So I will now continue my walk through the park.
