, RUSE BMP all my class mates and an idea struck me. I stayed at the gate and as each class mate passed me on his way home, I halted him. When the grounds were cleared of all the rest of the crowd we all joined hands on the acrobat’s platform and pealed out our old song,” Around the corner, and under the tree.” —Adell Munn SENIOR CLASS WILL We, the class of ’31 in the city of Waterloo, county of DeKalb, state of Indiana, and being of sound minds, keen judgment, and care-free ways, bequeath and publish this last will and testament, destroying all former ones made by us.

from his stand I stumbled over a tent stake and fell plump into the lap of a gaudily dressed fortune teller. I recognized her only after I read her sign Madam Vivian Wing. She whispered in my ear that her cares in society life in New York City had been so great that she fled to Chicago and had taken up this disguise as a lark. “See that negro medicine show over there?” pointed Vivian, “Well, that’s Helene Dunn’s show. She has the leading part. She tried to get into the movies in Hollywood last year but for some reason it did not suit her.” Just then a rickety sport roadster rattled up the roadway and rolled over on its side as a big limousine which had been chasing it crashed thro’ the fence and went into a ditch. A great crowd gathered and when Vivian and I finally wedged our way to the front, a sporty young couple, Hazel Gingrich and Lowell Strite, had been pulled out of the upturned car. Reverend Delos Kohl of the First Evangelical Church was standing over them repeating the ceremony of wedlock. As Reverend Kohl solemly pronounced them man and wife a stylishly dressed man came running from the limousine in the ditch. He was Gerold Griffin the big horse-shoe magnet from Denver. He had been chasing Lowell and Hazel. Lowell had decided that he must make Hazel safe from Gerold’s covetuous arms before another minute had elapsed. “Ah hah”! snarled Gerold as he sauntered over to the Hot Dog stand. The girl at the stand gave him a bold wink as she wrapped up a hot dog in a big bun. “All right, let’s go.” he said and piled Jessie DeLong, the hot dog girl into his limousine and drove off in triumph. As I stood on the front row of this scene I rubbed elbows with some one I knew from Toonersville. It was Mr. and Mrs. Harold Griffin, prosperous farmers, who had come to spend their second honeymoon at the fair. Mrs. Griffin, the former Miss Anna Wines was as beautiful a maid as ever. I decided I’d give them a treat of a ride on the Ferris Wheel. We all three piled in and as we neared the top Harold pointed down to one of the middle cars. In car number fourteen Charles Bowman and an auburn haired flapper were laughing together while unbeknown to them a tall woman was slowly sliding down from car thirteen with a rolling pin under her arm. It was Charlie’s wife, Mrs. Geneva McBride Bowman. We trembled with fear as we watched her slide down within reach and slowly wield her pin until Charles fell limply out of his car. Helen Kelley, the flapper, screamed frantically as he fell, for her compact was in his pocket and the mirror would surely break, but this calamity was averted for three acrobats who were performing near by held out their net into which Charles fell. The only injury he sustained was, that his mustache was knocked up on his nose. Charles Wilson, Chicago’s great tonsular surgeon was called and the injured cookie duster was removed. The Tumbling Trio, who had saved him were Hazel Childs, Eugene Bonecutter and Mildred Stevenson. Mildred spied a hole in their net so she turned a hand spring over to the tent of the Carnival’s seamstress. Helen Smalley, the old maid seamstress, noted all over the world for her fine work, soon repaired the damage. I heard the music of the merry-go-round so I hopped on a kangaroo. Beside me on a beautiful spotted pony sat an enormously fat woman. When I looked closer I discovered that it was Ruth Wheeler. I remembered how it had been her ambition to be a race horse jockey but she said that her increased weight had forced her to fulfill her ambition on the merry-go-round. She told me that Mrs. Grace Blue Boyer who found it necessary to add to her husband’s taffy income was selling weight reducing compound and Ruth had tried some. As I started to leave the fair grounds that afternoon I realized that I had seen Page Twenty-three
