secretary. We were very glad to welcome into our class, a new member, Dorothy McGail, from Indianapolis. As Seniors we have plenty to do. We are beginning to perceive what satisfaction is derived in procuring a High School education. Soon we will be Out of School Life into Life's School, and we hope that life's school will be as successful as school life has been. Class Cprophecgf g Ye Juniors, who have implicit faith in the divinity of the Delphic Oracle, list to the saying of Apollo as he speaks to the world through thc voice of his prophet who has lingered for many days in humble worship at his holy shrine that he might speak the will of Mighty God with power and understanding. After spending a period in faithful fasting and sacri- fice, the prophet is now through divine inspiration to reveal to th-e Juniors the future of that mighty band, the Seniors. List closely to his words of divine wisdom: After a few years spent in I. U., I see Rachel as one of the leading journalists throughout the United States. H-er articles are published in all leading magazines. Looking closely, I see one of th-e class traveling from place to place, in different parts of the country, in search of some vocation requiring small labor. At last, I find him, after several years, keeping score for the White Socks. This is Dale. I see Agnes spending a period of ten years faithful study in an Acad- emy for Music in Chicago, after which she becomes a renowned pianist for the Metropolitan Music Company on Broadway. Warren, after a trial at several vocations, including a position as traveling salesman for the Athletic Sporting Goods Company, finally winds up as a pharmacist in Bloomington, Indiana. Pearl, having spent a few years in the study of The Id-eal Housewife and in preparing a well-filled hope-chest, becomes the happy bride of one of alumni, who is a progressive business man. Again my vision reverts to the business side of life. Upon close obser- vation, I see two of the most influential members of the class, both em- ployed as stenogs in one of New York's big business houses and sharing an apartment there. They enjoy many good times entertaining friends, etc. and in fact-lead a really and truly fast life. These are Annis and Addie. Lonnie, the brave and fearless hunter, after a few years decides the game in this part of the country is entirely too small-so packing what supplies deemed necessary, he embarked on a voyage to the African Jungles, where he can now partake of the excitement of mowing lions, bears, tigers, etc., common to that region. Viola, noted for her bird-like voice, is employed in the largest Opera House in New York, having spent a few years of Voice Culture abroad. She is now living a happy lifwunder the Lights of Broadway. Virgil, I see in I. U., working for a lawyer's degree. He is quite as popular with the members of the fairer sex enrolled there as he was with the Shebas in U. H. S. - Effie becomes the happy wife of a prosperous farmer and basketball player, after a few years-and is a first rate example of the Ideal House-

DOROTHY MCGAIL 4-girls' glee club, 4-minstrel show, 4-class play: Cyclone Sally. We feel we have missed something highly desirable in having been denied the com- panionship of this adorable class male until the second semester of the senior year. However, so greatly do we love her that she seems to have always been a part of us. PICTURES ON PAGES TWO AND THREE L. D. MILLER GOLDIE SHANAHAN A- B- Indiana Central C01' A. B.

Nothing unusual was introduced to us during the two years of Junior High, but when Latin and Algebra became our companions, some doubt-ed as to the completion of their High School course. September, '27, found us ready to start upon another very important quest and to b-estow upon ourselves the name of Sophomores. I am sorry to say that a few had fallen by the wayside. We learned that to take the life of Caesar was no easy task. We were convinced when the year had successfully passed that we were mighty Sophs and were duly entitled to the honorary name of Juniors. By the term 1928-29 there were twenty-three Jolly Juniors in our class. This year proved to be a very busy one. Geometry was a night- maxieg all of us made an agreement among ourselves that we were to avoid, as much as possible, all math in the future. It will probably be a minor, Wie broke the monotony of the Junior-Senior reception by entertaining the Seniors and Faculty with the most elaborate banquet that the school had hitherto indulged in. The fact that we put our play, Deacon Dubbsj' over so successfully made it possible for us to entertain so luxuriously. This fall, feeling very important because of our past achievements, we came back twenty-three strong. We elected Rachel Barrow, president, Addie Hillsamer, vice-president, Lee Richardson, treasurer, Virgil Tucker,

wife. Recently, she won first prize at the County Fair for her Angel- food -which was artistically decorated. Now, looking in the direction of West Point, I see one of our squad training for a General there. Being of a patriotic nature, I'm sure he'll make good. It shouldn't be hard to guess that this is Austin. Thelma, our little bookworm, as in school, is a very industrious per- son. She leads a happy life keeping house for her father, brothers, and sister. - Lee, our basketball star, we have seen still shooting 'em high during a four-year course in I. U. He is now starring on the baseball team of the White Socks-satisfied and immensely happy that he can continu-e his athletic Cal'-EBT. Helen, after attending a Nurses' School in Evansville, has returned to Bloomington wh-ere she is employed at the hospital as a trained nurse. This is sometimes a pathetic life, perhaps, but nevertheless a romantic one She is at present serving as private nurs-e to a handsome young man who recently met with an auto accident. I'm sure she isn't disappointed in her choice of a vocation. Ralph, the industrious student, was deeded ia portion of his father's farm and is enjoying life as a prosperous farmer. He, too, has been for- tunate and secured a help-mate with whom he seems to be well pleased. Gladys, desirous of adventure, is enjoying herself on a big ranch in the West. She has learned the art of lassoing while horse-back riding, etc., and mak-es an ideal little ranch-boss for the cow-punchers who are her employees. Let's hope sh-e doesn't learn to show any partiality among them. Wilson, following his old hobby of talking has at last reached the place wh-ere he can profitably chatter, He is a joint orator and auc- tioneer. Recently, he demonstrated his ability in a big fire sale. He only wore out two hammers trying to control the crowd and shoes flew thick and fast. Mable, after a course in The State Normal School and Teachers Col- lege in Terre Haute is now a first-class School Marm. She likes her work and makes many friends among her pupils. Carl, upon leaving High School tried his ability at several vocations, with not very great success, gave them all up, and is now a minister. He is making good. Ellis, I believe, is the most fortunat-e of any member of that industrious band He has the honor of serving as Assistant Secretary to our Presi- dent, Mr. .,.....................,.... ? Harlie, after a few years wandering about, trying to find some phase of life to which he was adapted, has finally settled down as a Broker in Chicago, Ill. He has proven hims-elf a successful business man. Then Sylvia, of a roving nature, tried several vocations among which she equipped herself for a musician, school teacher, stenographer, etc., but all to her dissatisfaction. Then, too, her interest in the oil industry proved a failure, so she set sail on the sea of matrimony and after two unsuccess- ful, marriages, is now contemplating a third with the motto in mind the third time is the charm. Just as I finish there comes into our midst Dorothy McGai1 from the Indianapolis schools. We predict a brilliant future for her-the commercial world-even I-llosfield or Boling may be forced to relinquish their world titles--in her favor. However, she is interested in farming too, at the present, and might decide to forfeit the above title for the one of Mrs.- and become a farmerette near Unionville.
