We did forget the bleakness of the monthe of Marche by participating in ye entieinge, enchantinge Senior Balle helde in the Elks’ Temple. Very gay were the senoritas and dashing dons who attended. Happie and snappie were we on ye Senior Sneak day. Our individuality and originalitie were displayed on Dress-up daye and oure mental-itie shone forth at the assemblie given on that memorable daye. “White Collars,” oure Senior playe given April 5, was but another convincing proofe of oure class ability. To the literary, dramatic and athletic fields we did contribute many. We, ye crewe of 1928, deeply regrette leaving Weatherwax high, but thatte regrette is overshadowed by the joy in knowing that we have done all in oure powere to uphold and maintaine the high standards of oure schoole. Prophecy of Ye Class of 1928 By cALar aret Levi It was a stormy day in January of the year 2023. Ominous dark clouds covered the sky and howling winds tossed the heaving waters of the Pacific to and fro in a most threatening fashion. Few boats sailed o’er the main; the most impressive vessel on the high seas was a large and sturdy craft bearing the bold emblem of a pirate ship. Aboard this massive skiff was a pitiful aspect of woe; the noble captain was seasick! Agonized groans of pain came out of his cabin; worried flunkies hurried to and fro on various errands of mercy; several vicious looking pirates were sprawled on the deck weeping bitterly and wiping their tears upon their blood-stained garments. Suddenly the moans of the sick captain ceased and a deadly quiet broken only by the fiercely beating waves seemed to fill the atmosphere. The group of pirates stiffled their sobs and gulps, and tip-toed to the entrance of the captain’s cabin. There a swarthy iooking man with a deep rich voice was reading from a scroll. He paused and said in an explanatory tone to the gathered group, “I just found this here scroll an’ the master is so pleased with it that he went and forgot he ever wuz seasick! It’s an old record left by the master’s great-grandpa, Cap’n Neil Ulysses Cams I, the feller who started this pirate ship way back in 1935. You know, I’ve heerd lotsa stories about that chap; they say he wuz the jolliest old feller-” But this reminiscence was interrupted by the feeble and impatient voice of Captain Neil Ulysses Cams III, who commanded, “Read me that document and read it quick, before 1 brain yuh, worm.” And so the fellow read in the following manner from the scroll: “February 29, 1940. — Up betimes, and dydde have a verrie enormous day, as dydde attack and plunder an rival ship run by Skipper Oliver Kelly, an former classmate of myne in ye institution of learning. I dydde consent to spare the life of this man when he dydde offer to tell me what has happened to all ye other classmates who completed theyre education in ye yeer 1928. Kelly dydde inform me that Bob Weatherwax was head cook aboard nis vessel, and so I immediately sent word to have Bob’s life spared as well.

It is sed that Karl Karshner and Bud Davenport made a small fortune by selling the copyright of their photographs to replace the picture of the Smith Brothers on cough drop boxes.

Alberta Allen, Helen Studebaker, Fern Ross, Helen Wylie, Gweneth Chamberlain, Lucille Shoun, Carolyn Hopkins, Lila Jean Robinson, and Myrtle Gustafson, are all enthusiastic examples of the ability of any woman to have both an marriage and an carreer.............” At this point, even tho ye scroll was only half finished, the boatswain coughed surreptitiously. As he was about to continue, a shrill whistle resounded throughout the pirate vessel. “Stir your stumps, ye lazy rat,” wheezed the bedridden commander. “Doncha know that’s a Fire Drill?” And groaning with agony, Captain Neil Ulysses Cams III of the pirate ship Mary Anne turned to his nurse and mumbled innarticulately, “Quick! I’ve had a relapse!” Ye Class Will By cA4ay G. Hall and Warren CAustin W’E, the class of 1928, the most brilliant, versatile, oratorical, literary, athletic, dramatical and peppiest class ever to grace the annals of Weath-erwax history, finding the weather favorable; being in sound body and mind; having complete control of our senses and realizing that we must bequeathe something of value to the needy; do hereby make and publish out last testament, to-wit: To the Juniors we leave the school, knowing that it is now on its way to the dogs. To the Sophs we leave them — flat! To Mr. Balkema we leave some new alibis to be used when refusing the next Senior class various and sundry favors. To Mrs. West we leave peace and quietness.
