CLASS PROPHECY 0 dear'. 0 dear'. With which shall I begin? Mr. George Ball would know if he may win Success in literature. Dear me . It looks As though the ink on this would fill big books. In literature——his compositions fair; His penmanship---but that's not here nor there For authors never write a decent scrawl; He may succeed---and then, again, may fall; Who dares to say? 'Tis all in his own mind That his success or failure has to find. Another, Robert Jefferis, wants to know If he can be a doctor. Surely so'. He can be what he wills to be, of course; I'm sure his Latin can’t be any worse Than those who do succeed each year, and so He probably will do better than we know. What? Clyde Pippin would really like to sing? How who would ever dream of such a thing? Well, if he has a voice (and it must be so) I'm sure the boy can sing for all of me. It needs much patience, in practice years. But that's forgotten as success appears. Now what? Joseph Klackle would be a millionaire! He knows not that great wealth is but a snare. To lay up fleeting treasures on the earth May cost him all his heart and soul are worth. If he would store with truer wealth his mind. More satisfaction he would surely find; Of riches, I would say to him, Beware! And to your higher self devote a care. Robert Nash writes a dainty note. He wants to go, he says, where women vote And be elected governor of the state. He feels that he was born for such a fate. Well, well! He's bound to win the prize, I guess; I'm sure I wish him every known success. MaryAnn Bodjack would be an actress fair. The idol of the public everywhere; She says she's won such honors here at school She feels ambitious on the stage to rule. 1 would not counsel her to step too far; 'Tis very fine to be a tragic star. But health and strength are taxed so much, they say, 'Tie hard for all but strongest ones to pay The price for every victory that they find; I hope, I really hope, she'll change her mind'.

CLaSS history One day as we were browsing about, we came upon a little memory book. We slowly turned the page, and to our surprise, we came upon the picture of the freshman class of 1932. It recalled to our memories the first day in high school. There were 22 freshmens Bessie Zaboynik, Lynn Miller, Margaret Krajacic, George Ball, Robert Jefferis, Elizabeth Oles, Fern Hart Mary Ann Bodjack, Lester Arend, Millie Davis, Lucille Wagner, Martin Howard, Robert Nash, Joe Klackle, Edna La Munion, Agnes, Schadler, Roy Kolberg, Charles Malkin, Clara Turner, Madeline Schula, Paul Schulz, and Clayton Edmunson. Our teachers were Mr. Shearer, Miss Knode, and Mrs. Myers. After we had become accustomed to the new routine, the teachers, and the unmerciful razzing of the upper-classmen, we settled down and began to organize. Our officers were Martin Howard, president; Mary Ann Bodjack, vice-president; Lynn Miller, secretary; and Bessie Zaboynik, treasurer. Turning the page, we saw a record of our first party on Oct- ober 28, a Hallowe'en affair. Remember how comical Clayton looked dressed up as a girl with lipstick and eyebrow make-up galore? We slowly turned the next page wondering what we would find. Why, of course'. The freshmen initiation'. How we dreaded it, but we cheerfully and optimistically survived the most diffi- cult of tasks, secretly resolving to take revenge at the first opportunity. We returned happily to school on a bright sun-shiny day in early September, attempting to impress the freshmen with our sup- eriority. Our class had dwindled to 17» The officers were the same as the previous year and so were our teachers. We selected our class colors, orange and black, and also purchased emblems. During this year we edited the CARDINAL newspaper under the dir- ection of Miss Knode. The remainder of the year passed quickly, and after a picnic at Indian Lake, we went home to spend our va- cations enjoying ourselves. We returned to school, juniors, glad that at last we were considered upper-classmen. We slowly turned the page of the beginning of the junior year and here we saw the names of our class officers. They were George Ball, president; and Clayton Edmunson, secretary and trea- surer. October 18 the chemistry class had an enjoyable day at the World's Fair. In this year Miss Larkin was added to the fa- culty as English instructor. Miss Knode had married and gone to live in Kalamazoo. On the second page was the picture of our state class D championship basketball team, and to prove their merit they brought more fame to Stevensville by bringing home a beautiful trophy which they had won at Flint in the finals.
