to talk loud enough to be heard. By mid-semester of the seventh grade we began to think all red heads were born with plenty of brains and were noted for using them. Juanita Reed had joined us. Ollie Bourne and J. W. Holtzclaw from Lancaster, and Robert Goggin from Hubble, entered school when we were in the eighth grade. When we were freshmen, we udmitted six new, green members: Henry Hester, J. A. Tucker, Joe Gilliland, Charlotte Bcrlepp, Myrtle Have, and Helen Price. While we were sophomores S amy Holtzclaw, who had left us after the sixth grade, cume back to us—still blushing! Gladys White became a valuable new member of our class during the junior year, and bids fair to become a permanent resident of Stanford since she has chosen a Stanford boy as her life partner. This third year of our high school journey was greatly saddened by the death of Nancy ann Gooch. She is sorely missed by all of her classmates. Our senior year, a much looked forward to year, is here at last! We have four new members who like Stanford well enough to wish to graduate here. B. G. Goode, with his keen way of getting around the teachers, decided to wait a year and graduate with us; Carl Ashley comes to us from McKinney; Margaret Chasteen moved into our midst from Lancaster, our rival town in football. In some w .y the new3 got down to Waynesburg about our class and it pleased Martha Belle Caldwell so much that she decided to come up and graduate from Stanford High. That's a feather for our cap, Seniors of 1937.

CLASS PROPHECY Madaiae Zabeide gazes into her crystal. She Sees the Class of '37. Ah! Here cones Christine Rankin. She has just left her typing classes where she has been teaching her pupils to tickle the ivories. I see another figure coming closer. It is Sammy Holtzclaw, a student at U. of K. with a stack of books under his arms. He has skipped a Physics Class in order to meet Helen Price on the corner of Main Lime. Helen is a student at Transylvania, where she has been doing fine. No wonder, with Sammy so close. Sonething terrible is going to happen! There is a great disturbance in the Crystal. Mercy, here comes Gladys White, I mean Burnside, chasing Durwood with a rolling pen. I can distinctly remember when she was saying, Durwood and I will be different. . We’ll never quarrel. How times do change. I see tragedy in the Crystal. Ida Belle Farmer, who has nursed a bad appendix for four years, is very fortunate in having Dr. B. G. Goode, one of the world's most famous surgeons, operating on her. The nurse standing by is familiar. Why, of course, it's Betty Woodward. I should have known. I hear the sound of someone scrubbing on a wash board. It is Myrtle Nave, who has discovered a new way to get clothes cleaner and you don't have to soak them in Rinso, either. I understand she is also the power behind the Nu-Way Dleaners. I gaze again into the Crystal for I must find some teachers. Here comes one, Annola Wilmot, the runt of the class. I see some X's and Y’s around her so she must be teaching algebra. Someone is following her. Well, if it isn't Jenny Katherine Miller, and I can tell by the look on her face she is teaching geometry. Wonder if she makes her pupils stay up 'til 3 a.m. studying. I hear the strains of a wedding march. What a beautiful, blushing bride coming down the aisle, and who is that nervous groom meeting her at the
