T II E 19 3 2 B I S B I L A The Fable of the Four Commissions or The History of the Class of 1932 THICK gloom had settled over all the occupants of the room. The depression had subdued everyone’s spirits, and no one even offered a solution for it. The opinion seemed to he that they would just have to “wait it out.” Now that is is contrary to all precedent, for the main ingredient of depressions is prediction—good or bad. Suddenly the old timer began to speak and everyone drew up his chair, for a story bv this ancient alumnus of the Class of 1932 was always interesting. “Now when I was young.” began the old timer, “we handled these depressions differently and to my mind, much more successfully. I remember the one that started back in 1928. We didn’t sit around as you do now. Right away we began to check it by electing a commission capably headed by Walter Coffey as president. Hoover had just begun to save the nations with commissions, so why shouldn’t we do a little local saving with one? The commission suggested a sleigh ride to remedy conditions and by this diplomatic move, enough general | ep was gathered to last the year out. “The next year Howard Kittleson was president of a new commission which held us above board. Our class party kept our spirits running high, and as for unemployment—the teachers saw to it that we never suffered from lack of work. Of course, the same condition prevailed there that was spread generally over the United States. There were some idlers who preferred to exist with bare necessities of life, rather than to accept the preferred jobs. It was this same year. I believe, that the income tax began to bring rumbles of discontent because of its increased size. “By the third year things were beginning to look brighter. The end was in sight. With Dan Harris as president and a new type of commission featuring the class council, the depression seemed bound to end. Our extremely successful J. S. at the Columbia Golf Course hastened this. However, in order to tide the class over, the income tax had to be raised once more. This time the highest level was reached, but as relief was promised soon, the opposition did not thrive. “In 1932, with Hill Pagenkopf as president, we looked out at prosperity again. At least, it grew nearer and nearer as spring approached, and even the youngest prophet could see that by the middle of June the greatest depression would be over. In that year, too, all income taxes were vetoed, and the resulting satisfaction with the government swung prosperity into line. The Senior Class Play, “Nothing But The Truth,” brought things to a new level and diplomas gave the final evidence of a complete recovery. “Now let this he an example for you to follow.” finished the old timer, and as he again lapsed into silence he was heard to mutter. “Ah, them was the days, but. times has changed, times has changed.” Pace
