Emblem: Arrow Head Motto: Deeds Determine Destiny. From green Freshman, from superior Sophomores and from too Wise Juniors We have arrived to the dignified position of Seniors. Some of our members have dropped out of our class, but others have come from other schools so that we have about the same number with which we started. We won the Inter-class track championship when we were Sopho- mores. We have held the championship in basketball for two years. We also boast of sixteen Seniors who are lettermen. Our Junior play, The Charm School and our Senior play Dulcy were said to be the best that were ever put on in the High School- any Way We made more money by them than any classes have by their dramas. We have also had a party each year. In the Prune Festival last fall our float was said to be the most dignified and distinguished. During the four years we have been here as a class we have tried to the best of our ability to do our duty to our High School. When We look into the future-well We are sorry to leave old V. H. S.!

Twenty-four A L K I Page Fifteen As I slowly opened my eyes and gazed stupidly around, a white- capped nurse silently entered the room. She advanced toward my bed and laid her cool hand upon my burning face. Be quiet , she commanded. You have been seriously injured. I recognized the voice of my high school chum, Pearl Slothower. Where am I, and how did I get hurt? ' Well, as I understand it, she replied, you were knocked down by a taxi driven by Roy Wilson. An ambulance, driven by Willis Hatha- way, was summoned to bring you here. Dr. Simis and Dr. Weigel say that your recovery is assured. That's some encouragement. Have you any other good news for me ? Oh, yes! Here is a bouquet of flowers from Pauline Wrennf' I asked to have the flowers brought nearer. I noticed the inscrip- tion, Sara Scott and Roberta Richter, Florists. As I grouped these names with familiar ones I had just heard, I thought of the Class of '24, Determining to find out as much as I could about the rest, I asked Pearl to tell me about those of whom she knew. I'll be very glad to do so, replied Pearl. I shall return again at 4:30 when I am off duty. In the meantime you may listen to an ex- cellent radio concert. She had been gone only a few minutes when a voice that much re- sembled that of Clyde Schimelphenig announced: This is Station WXY of Chicago, Illinois. Selections by the Erickson-Thompson Opera Company will be given from the two operas, Cleopatra and Dr. Faust., Florence Santee is impersonating Cleopatra and William Brown Antony. Jack Blair will be Dr. Faust, Donald Harris, Methistopholes, and Doris Wheaton, Marguerite. Lovon Whitney is at the piano. As I was pondering over this unique situation, Pearl re-entered to entertain me. She carried with her two books, one, The Vices of the Age written for the W. C. T. U. by Willard Futtrup, and the other. The Evils of Jazz and Puplic Dancing by Juanita Leathers. I'll begin with classmates of my profession, began Pearl. Janet Begg, Lillian Thorton, and Marguerite Morgan, who are graduate nurses, are at present out on special cases. Eugenia Bennett is now Justice of the Supreme Court. Virginia, her sister, drew up the plans for the building which was owned by Elpha Moulton and Alma Peterson, but which has been given over to the homeless Siberian Sniff Hounds. Frances McMaster and Leona Lippe are members of Congress now. I remembered that they were excellent students in Civics. What about Dorothy Thornton, Arvilla Harrington and Viola Wol- verton ? I asked.
