1921 — The Retrospect — 1921 Class Will And Testament We. the Senior Class of ’21 of Illume High School, in view of the fact that we are about to desert our proteges, the other three classes, and because they can never hope to attain the mark set by us. feel that we must at least make these slight provisions for the future: First: To the girls of Bluine High, we bequeath a new mirror, provided the teacher in charge of the cloakroom will permit that said mirror to be hung where it is of easv access to all. Second: We bequeath to the Cicero class the few (?) ponies in the possession of the present Vergil class. Third: To Marian Fischer, we bequeath the dramatic ability of Kathryn Gockc; to Vonda Blank we leave the beauty of Helen Wenk, and hope she can use it to advantage.

Fifth: To some deserving Sophomore, we bequeath the love affairs of John Shields and of Herbert Blair. Sixth: We desire that the musical talent of Arthur Zint should be left to Everett Turnbull. Seventh: To Evelyn Emerson and Dorothy I ongsworth. we bequeath the vamping eyes of Thelma Sillin and Virginia Blair, respectively, and hope we may never have cause to regret said bequests.

Tenth: To Miss Wintzer, we bequeath all the test paper remaining at the end of the year; to Mr. Stein, the janitor, all our waste paper.

1921 — Ihe Retrospect— 1921 barber of Toledo. Next stop was Lima, where we met Immanuel Rodeheffcr who was county superintendent of Allen county. He told us that Florence kaeck was a district school teacher, and Coda Crow was a physical culture teacher. He also added that Florence Pitthan was a stenographer of that city. As we were settled in our seats, we opened a story book. There we found a story written by Paulina Dembski, and another by Romaync Wertz. Before we left Philadelphia, we saw Emma Fisher at the head of a suffrage parade. After the parade we met and had a friendly chat. She told us that Persis Shultz was a teacher there and that Herman Swonguer was the editor of the “Philadelphia Herald.’’ She also said that he had Aurelia Rush and Norma Nickell engaged as typists. We purchased a lx ok “Easy Wav To Become Wealthy.” written by Herbert Rlair. That evening we went to a play in which Arthur Zint played the star role. Next day we boarded a train for New York. Finally we found ourselves walking on the broad streets, on cither side the huge sky scrapers meeting the ceil”. That day we decided to visit one of the leading high schools. Wc found to our greatest surprise Luella Kennedy as principal. She told us that Alma Monger and Elizabeth Locgcl were married and living in Brooklyn. Luella also told us that Trcssic Metz was a stenographer at an office in that city and that Vera Shaffer was a Domestic Science teacher. After our visit at the high school, we went to a basketball game in which Russel Ilangcn and Cletus Zaenglein were starring. The next day we bade America farewell! After five days of plodding and tossing, wc reached Liverpool. Whom should we find but Augustus Klipfel in the custom house. He directed us to one of the hotels, where we found in the entrance. Carvel Braun, who was leisurely smoking. He informed us that he had come abroad to write the history of the English people. The next morning we left the hotel and before going we encountered Oscar Rabcrding, who was Ambassador from United States to England. After a friendly chat we proceeded on our journey. Our next stop was Dublin, where we visited with Xelvia Spees, who had married a nobleman. During the conversation Nclvia told us that Edith Lyne was head nurse in Ireland’s largest hospital and that Catherine Berg was an under nurse. After a few days stay wc journeyed to France. As we have always been interested in science, we decided to visit one of the laboratories where wc found Floyd Bowman as an electrician. He told us that Robert Lee was touring France. After a week’s stay in France wc went to Italy. Whom should wc meet in the slums? No one but Ruby Wentz who was a missionary to foreign lands. She told us that Marjorie Moore was a missionary to China. Ruby gave us a newspaper from Wapakoneta and we eagerly read the contents. In the society items was stated: Thelma Sillin and Leota DcVore, social butterflies, were home from New York. Edna and Lc-nora Kattcrheinrich were kindergarden teachers in Wapakoneta. Millard Rohrbaugh purchased a merchandise store from Arthur Kattenhenry. Dolores Taylor had taken up settlement work and Opal Fry and Eamestine Sillin entertained Ethel Mollencamp and former friends. Hilda Holtkamp and Miriam Arnett were district school teachers. Arthur Doering and Cecil Ramge were enlarging the city of Ruckland by building a hospital. John Shields, minister of Lima Luthern Church, was a Wapakoneta visitor. On the front page was a notice for subscribers of the Daily News’’ to pay their dues—signed Glen Hardin. Editor and Eula Fisher assistant. The S cial Personal and Court items were edited by Bernice Wiles and Emily Ramge. Helen Kolter. a dancing teacher, had a large class of beginners. After wc had read the news and talked over old times with Ruby wc departed for Russia. In the custom house was Cecil Liokumovitz. He told us that Ida was head clerk of a dry goods store in Moscow. I’p-on turning to leave wc suddenly encountered a very tall man with two suitcases. It was Harold Schierer, who was a traveling salesman. So thus endeth the prophesied career of all the members of the class of twenty-one. Ye' indeed, wc have ever • one. Of the honored class of ’21. MARY LOUSE DELONG MARGARET DELONG TWRNTY-Kir.HT
