THE SWATARA SWATTER-Swatam Township High School fqpwnumm zvmmnagv Senior Glass fllrophecy We journeyed to Youngstown in Harry's Rolls Royce roadster and while passing through Akron I sug- gested that we visit a barber so that we might look our best when we meet Melvin and Catherine. A good idea, john, I'll park here and we'll do just as you say. We walked along the crowded sidewalk looking for a barber shop when suddenly we saw a tall redfheaded fellow with a broad smile on his face coming down the sidewalk toward us. 'iWhy that's Tom Eitnier, said Harry. Why hello, Tom. Sure enough it was Tom and when I asked him what he was doing in that outfit he cheerfully replied, Why, I'm captain of a United States war vessel. Really? replied Harry, and where are you going in such a hurry? Well, I'm going to see how my iirst and second mates are making out. Of course we didn't understand what he meant and asked him to explain. Well you see ,' Thomas slowly went on, Francis Moore is second mate, and best prize tighter on our crusier, while Krieder Douglas our first mate is his trainer and promoter. Right now Moore is lighting the heavy weight champion of the S. S. Saratoga cruiser for the naval heavy weight title. Another thing that might interest you is Pennod Dunlap's success as minister on our cruiser, but who at this time is serving as the radio announcer for the fight. This information was interesting and we likewise told Tom of our experiences. Sorry, replied Thomas after a brief conversation, that you can't come with me, so I'd better be going. Well, so long. And away he went with a rapid pace while we again moved along to locate a barber. While Harry and I were discussing Tom and our sailor friends we came upon a large barber shop and after entering to our great surprise recognized the barber as George Lock, who greeted us heartily. Turning about in my surprise, I saw a beauty parlor on the other side of the shop in which two more of our former classmates were employed as beauty specialists namely, Mabel Wingert and Gladys Henning. What does this mean replied I, surely -ff- Here being nearly speechless, Mabel calmly remarked, I don't know what you want to say, john, but George and I went into partnership and he's running the barber shop while I, with Gladys' assistance, am running the beauty parlor. We then exchanged information concerning other members of our class. Gladys told us that Viola Ricker was a nurse in one of the foremost hospitals at Washington. She likewise told us that Robert Metzler had received an A. B. degree from Penn State College and that Elmira Yeager was teaching French and English at the University of Maryland. We were all in a happy delightful mood while relating our experiences but we were all astonished when the door flew open and George Hall came in, asking us if we wanted to buy any Fuller tooth brushes, tooth paste, combs, etc. We felt sorry for George and after inquiring concerning his success he laiughingly replied, 'kMy success in this business is ffff well, I'm a millionaire ffff and the only reason why I still work is because I like to be a salesman and am doing it as a hobby. We listened with great interest as George continued. About a month ago I was over in Paris visiting George Snoke who is also a millionaire. He lives in a mansion along the Seine River. Here curiosity over took me and I replied, George a millionaire! What do you mean? Why it simply means this, john, George continued, George Snoke played the stock market in New York and acquired a fortune. Cf course, Snokie then decided to settle down and share his wealth with Erma Freeland, and so he did. We were silent for a moment when Mabel Wingert said Tell us some more, George, and he continued. While over in Europe I journeyed through Germany, England, and a few other countries and met some more of our friends. Here George briefly told us about Elizabeth Kapp and Eva Wigand who were stenographers for President Hindenburg. He also gave us information on Irvin Eshenour and George Sheaffer, who were successful partners in the great Endicott Shoe Manufacturing Company of England. The discussions conf tinued until Harry made a suggestion that all go with us to see Melvin and Kate on the stage. The entire group responded to the suggestion, but while we were passing by a news stand my eyes fell upon these head' lines on a newspaper, Search for missing air mail pilot. I bought a newspaper and read the article. 'iGreat Scott! Look at this! Frank Vukmanic had started a nation wide search for me and thinks that I have met with foul play because I didn't return when I told him I would. ffff Well I'm sorry I can't go with you, I must go back to 'Puggyl and stop this useless search. In my hurry to return to Frank Vukmanic, I forgot my purse, having left it in Harry's roadster. just my luck, now I can't ride back to Frank, I'll have to walk. So I hurried along the street with the intentions of getting a hop. Hello, john! Could you direct me to the Railroad Station? Who can that be, I thought, and going a little closer was overjoyed to see that the speaker was Mary Edwards. She told me about her success on the screen and stated that she was on her way to Hollywood to appear as the leading lady in Ramon Navarro's next picture. I was pleased with the news, and after telling me she had to go as her train would leave within ten minutes I told here that if she wanted me to, I'd be delighted to take her in my airplane as I would pass by Hollywood on my way home. Oh Boy, Mary cheerfully replied, Will I go? and we hurried to Cleveland, and after a brief visit at 'Puggy's' took leave to Hollywood in my airplane. While on our way she told me about Meade Aungst who, she said, was owner of a large confectionery store in Pittsburgh. Meanwhile, Mary was constantly playing and fooling with the controls until she finally broke the aileron and rudder and wire controls causing the plane to fall. Helpl somebody save mel Oh, John, don't you think we're going to kill ourselves? yelled Mary in a very frightened manner. By this time. we were getting closer and closer to earth and all the time traveling faster ffff faster ffff Ouch! My head. Where am I? In a hospital? No. Cause there's my own bureau. Why, I'm in my own room and on the floor at that. Only a dream but what a revelation! I'm glad my schoolmates succeeded even if only in a dream. JOHN SCI-IENFELT oballcsomz ltcfbcnil V490

This curly-headed young man is one of the popular members of the class. Meade is vivacious type, always bustling and hurrying. He has many friends, feminine and masculine. He is a soda jerker which accounts partially for his popularity. In any school activity he may be relied upon to do his share. While not taking active part in athletics Meade is interested in all school contests and may he seen at all games. We wish brown eyes success in his chosen occupa- tion of running a carbonate machine and we hope he gets rid of his dislike for the Oberlin street car service.

His genial per- sonality combined with his mischievousness makes him the class cut up. Melvin has descended from an Attick Cthat being his mother's maiden namej, so we guess he is all there upstairs. As a speech maker Melvin says he would make a good paper hanger. His main ambition other than walking Kate home is to be a mule driver. We hope he succeeds for then Kate won't have to walk home.
