5395590 iThe Memoir 1 -1675? , 'Ei Winnie Senior Class History Twelve long years ago saw a joyous and carefree band of children enter the door of the kindgdom of knowledge. There they stood on the first step, like all children, curious to know what was in the cup called Graduation , which sat upon the top step. Each year they battled with knowledge until they had been in the conflict eight long years. At this time the little group put away their instruments of play and pushed open the door of the ninth step, which read High School. This little band consisted of nine members, Fern, Violet, Bruce, Richard, Wilhel- mina, DeForest, Nathan, Hazel and Thelma. The time Hew swiftly on. We had now gained another step and assumed the name of Sophomoies. During this year we lost two members, Nathan Doty and DeForest Hitchcock, and gained one new member, Dayton Gerber, from Brimfield. The following September we again entered the confiict on the eleventh step of knowledge. Two members, Hazel Bartley and Thelma Ewalt, departed from our band to join a similar band of Peoria High. Wilma Burt from Elmwood High joined our band on this step. The most exciting and remarkable' epoch of our journey has now arrived for we are Seniors and stand on the twelfth step of knowledge with the cup of graduation in our hands. Another member, Wilhelmina Burniga, departed from among usg but we were joined by Mary Boone from the far East. This little band of seven stand on the top step of knowledge, about to separate. Long ago they dropped the title of carefree, but they still hold the ones of joyous and gay- CLASS ROLL Wilma Burt ..,. ......,,................ P resident Violet Quin . . . ,,.........

Class Prophecy fTaken from Diary of Dick Gregory, Manager of New York Giants.J April lst, 1946.-I Was in Brazl with my gang fthe New York Giants, I being managerl. Today we have just defeated the Rio De Janerio's Llamas by a score of 14-0 and our lives were in serious danger all afternoon. However, we escaped by the use of a fioating carpet. This device hasn't been patented yet, so I'll try to explain the mechanism of this jitncy. It makes its own power by gathering electricity from the air, running a propeller and the air force of this makes it go something like the pre- historic airplane. Anyway, it bears the name of BRUCE TURL ,the inventor. This name set me to thinking. Of course I remembered who this scientist was. Also in the back of my memory I was reminded of that five' hundred dolllars I had loaned him back when his inventions were not planning out. I decided to cancel this debt as this machine had been very beneficial in our escape from the riotous crowd of disappointed fans. I turned on the radio and lo-behold. I heard a lecture from Chicago. Thb sub- ject was very dry, something about the Pre-Raphael Tendencies of Babazion School, I think, but the voice of the speaker along with his sharp arguments, witticisms and his gay humor fascinated me. On listening longer, I discovered it to be a MR. DAY- TON GERBER. These two incidents caused me to wonder about the rest of the Class of '26. Page Eighteen Sl Hemel?
