Mineral Ridge Senior Class History On September 8, 1925, nineteen strong we entered our Freshman year in high school. We were the second class to enter this high school and it made us feel quite important. The following year only thirteen entered the Sophomore class. Five, girls and one boy were on the basketball teams and we all took part in other school activities. The Junior year only nine enrolled. We elected oflicers with Hyacinth Walton as presi- dent. This year three girls and one boy were on the basketball team, several boys were on the football squad and both boys and girls rep- resented us on the literary teams and student council. This year there are eight of us remaining to Hnish our course. Two boys and two girls are on the basketball team, and three of the boys are on the football team. We are the second class to graduate from the new high school and we are looking for- ward to the commencement season with great anticipation. We hope that we may leave a record such as succeeding classes will be proud to follow. RUTH WILLIAMSON.

A Mineral Ridge Senior Class Prophecy It was a bright, sunshiny day in August, 1950, when we landed in Paris on the first lap of our journey around the world. We were walking along the crowded thor- oughfare of Lafayette Avenue when we bump- ed into a policeman. Upon looking the second time it proved to be our old friend, Russell Lewis. After chatting awhile and discussing old times he told us we would find our class- mate, Fred Chittock at the airdrome. We boarded an omnibus for the air-field. When we got there we found that Fred was one of the leading aviator's of France. Jrourneying on we arrived in Germany. That evening we went to the opera and whom should we- see, but Gladys White, whp was delightfully entertaining the audience with her melodious voice. Leaving this country, we journeyed to Venice, Italy. The first place we went was to one of the famous sculptor's studios. On entering the studio we were delightfully sur- prised to see professor Shook who was modell- ing the bust of the Prince of Wales. After leaving Professor Shook, we went to the American Consulate. There We were re- ceived by the wife of the Consul who proved to be Ruth Williamson. She was gaining much prominence as a public speaker and charity worker. As our sojourn in Europe. was over, we boarded the Columbia for America. 'On ar- riving in New York we went to visit the city schools. On talking to the superintendent of schools, to our amazement we learned he was our old school mate Donald Rudge. ,J After spending a few days in New York we returned to our homes where we assumed our duties as a beauty culturist, and accountant.
