I A 7 83' THE OCCIDENT I7 Benning Uhr Clarita NEWTON THATCHER, '15 Ladies and Gentlemen : Do you know how many cards there are in a deck? There are fifty-three, including the joker. Just as many as there are members of the Senior class, including the joker. With such a coincidence the foretelling of the future proved a very easy matter with the able assistance of Miss Hatfield in reading the cards and of Graber and Sperry in making them. It seems strange how a person's mind will wander from one thought to another. While I was thinking of myself as a Senior-you know we all like to think of ourselves once in a while-my mind went back to the days before school- days, when I first learned to say A, B, C3 and immediately every Senior came before me in alphabetical order appear- ing as he will twenty years from now. First came fpicture lj Magdalene Bainter, a high school teacher. In the picture she is saying to a pupil in her German class, Entweder setzen Sie sich, oder verlas- sen Sie die Stubef' Which means in English, Sit down or leave the room. The picture represents also Carmen Stocklin saying, Hasseyez-vous, ou quittez la salle, which means the same as the German. Alice Johnson is saying the same in Latin-sede aut descede, e ludo. Geraldine Holt is saying, Allow yourself to assume your original posture before you lose your equilibrium, meaning in English, Squat, kid, before your head gets dizzy. fPictureJ Carolyn and Josephine Brown and Marie Renner's activities since they used to come in so late at W. H. S. have finally resulted in the changing of the Arlington car schedule, which gives the villagers a ten minute service. fPictureJ Showing our Sisters of Charity, Gertrude Buchanan and Dorothy Luckhaupt. ' fPictureJ Grace Curran isn't a Sister Susie sewing shirts for soldiers, but is simply starting a star stitch. Grace, as you know, can sew anything under the sun, so so. fPicture 21 The Queen of Hearts, in black and white, can represent both Millicent Dowdell and Losha Gain. Un- fortunately the winning kings belong to another deck and can not be shown here. Yes, Losha still plays the piano in concerts and Ernie Howard, or Mr. Losha Gain, as he is better known, tags around after her tuning up the thing. CPicture 35 Mark Ruhl, present-day Speed King, got in the habit from riding around corners on two wheels with Frank Davis. By the way, Frank is a doctor now and uses a horse and buggy. fPictureJ Here we have a glimpse of either Glenna Evans, Hazel Linville, or Grace Robbins, as they appear after a rush hour at the Busy Bee.

16 THE OCCIDENT Uhr Gllana nf '15 ALICE JOHNSON, '15 Our class, for various arts renowned, Long exercised in studies, Muse! re- sound, Which, having gained the victory by toils O'er many books, and searched their in- most thots, Stands ready now to go into the world, Ideals high and perseverance strong. On stormy seas unnumbered toils we bore, Safe with our mates, to gain our longed- for shore : A few, the gods, it seems, have failed to guide, fAh mates unblessedlb this quest was not for thee. Now to the close of our last term we've come, Fifty, the studies, our last years sur- vived, And overcame the perils of Our World. Our battle has been one of twelve long years, A bloodless battle, fot by some, with tears, With others all the way Athene's gone, By them the highest honors have been won. At Freshmen, Zeus, himself, did seem to frown, And hurled his thunderbolts in anger down, Until our number Hve times five and twenty', To nine and ninety was reduced by him. The gods, to Sophomores, more kindly grown, From out our number took but twenty- one, As Juniors, we the smiles of Wisdom gained, And lost out of our midst but seventeen. The crowning glory of our whole career, To us, as Seniors came, our final year. Success, on us attended, from the first, We chose, and wisely, one to lead our class Whom Wisdom did but merely point the Way, And gladly did he follow, gladly learn. The others, who did safely guide us on, Were tried and trusty members of our class. Integrity, Proficiency, Fraternity, Have looked at us from folds of Green and Pearl, And seemed to call us, so we could not fail. The Olympian Council oft our souls dis- mayed, With symbols weirdly strange, and ominous, We learned the ones to fear, the ones to shun, By shocks, most rude, and sometimes terrifying. But now, to us, the circling years dis- close The day, predestined to reward our woes. Our twelve years' task is finished in the schools, We now commence upon another course, Where yet new labors our arrival wait. May we attended be in all our tasks, By Wisdom ever guarded on our way, Until our work complete, it may be said, A Bloodless Battle have they fought thru life.

Instead fI9icture 41 she is proving herself a perfect Irish lady. This picture was taken at the time she kissed the Blarney stone. fPicture 51 Poor Farshler is in an awful muddle. He canit decide which he likes best-girls or dollars. CPicture 141 Earl Graber's monkey has succeeded Polly and Her Pals as a laugh producer and money maker. Henry Ginsburg furnishes a surprise. He never buys books now simply because he has read them all. fPic- ture.1 Instead he writes his own books on the Art of Con- versation and Oral Endomebiasisv and in his spare mo- ments plays baseball. .QPicture1 eMinnie Huston, Hazel Ryerson, and Elma Robinson, all normal school graduates, are striking for higher pay for teachers. fPicture 61 Dorothy Holmes is chief of the Hello girls. She got our number long ago. fPicture1 Fowler Harper is on the stage with a rapid- fire act of piano and trombone playing, with a little preach- ing on the side. Somewhat on the Sunday style. Every deck has its joker, QPicture 71 so has this one. And Leonard Hartsook hasn't forgotten the part. CPicture 81 Dr. Hoff is in the business for money alone. He admits it. And- fPicture 91 Wow, that looks suspicious with Hutt, the undertaker, following right along after him. That's serious business. While we are talking about doctors I must tell you that Willo Hecker is still studying medicine. Urcil Jones is demonstrating ten cent music at Wool- worth's. fPicture.1 iPicture 101 Harry Johnson got tired stringing tele- graph wires, so he is now an electrical engineer, telling oth- ers how to do it. fPicture1 Hayden Jones, farmer, sings while he Works. You can see him singing a Welsh song. However, you won't mind that as much as hearing him. CBlank1 Here you see Raymond Kipp appearing to you as he ever did. Ethel Glick writes poetry in a modest way. She has refused to let us show her, so we pass on to CPic- ture 111 Paul Kershaw, who is a Quaker preacher. He never spoke till the spirit moved him. Matilda Stuart is his very able assistant. Harold Link graduated from O. S. U. with a farmer's degree fpicture1, but here his natural ability led him out of the furrow. He is now a dictionary demonstrator pro- nouncing forty heterogeneous, homogeneous, intermingled, anthropophagus words a minute. fPicture 121 Liles quit catching professional ball to finish playing his violin. CPicture1 Helen Miller raised a good he'ad of hair for herself and is now employed doing hair-raising stunts for the movies.
