VALHALLA SKULD Of course you know mother's name was Edna Faye Moore, said mother a trifle wearily, as young John David XVolf, jr.. came bringing a battered old copy of the 1934 Scarlet and Gray up to her. Yes, that's your father's picture-no. father didn't preach in the pulpit, then. And where are they all now? XVell, let me think. The last I heard of Bob XViley-he was the editor, you know-he was out on a dairy farm in Kansas with Dick Still. And Lucien Jones? Oh, he owns most of the South American peanut farms. Yes. Ronald Harte and ,Io Friend are down there too. helping Bruce Ewing and Ruth Owen investigate the terrible measles epi- demic among the mosquitoes. And I heard that Arthur Peterson and jean Leckie are flying down this week-end to spend the winter with them. Oh, where's Virginia Sidwell? XVhy, she's Senator from Indiana, who's just persuaded Congress to appro- priate ten million dollars to build a Na- tional Home for Eriendless Cats, and they say that she's appointed Irene jackson, Mary Grace Mytinger and Norma Baker to manage the institution. The chief die- ticians will be Frances Glaze and Cather- ine Robertson and the head doctor will be Dr. Heine, assisted by Helen Howard. Ruth Brandenburg? No one ever seemed to hear what did b:co.ne of her. And who were the ones that got so rich? Oh, that's when they discovered the diamond mines in Iow.1. Richard Ainslie, Bill Billings, jim McClintock, Allen Chris- ty, and Lindley Schofield were among the first ones to get there and they made mil- lions! They gave the money for the new high school buildings which Howard Knaus designed for XVest Lafayette. Ron- ald Creek is principal there now and Iva Swaynie is Dean of Girls. NVhich one was the general in the war with Japan? Oh, that was Eugene Swank. That nice-looking boy? XVhy, that's Ken- neth Barnette of the Bosco-Barnette Ile- tective Agency. Their finger-print exper,s are Mary Shriner and Oscar XVarnock. Oh, you like the policemen? XVell. here's the boy who's chief of police in Chi- cago-Claude Harper. He helped Ed Smith and Vernon XVakeland put on that big Swat-a-Ely campaign in Chicago, Oh. yes, you hear Georgia Lugenbill, Dorothy Wfierenga, and Juanita Kellar singing the songs over XVLW' about Sander's Sudsy Soap Scraps every night. Marjorie Blalock is the announcer. And you know in the movies the other day we saw a picture of Henry Kraybill's Butterfly D a n c i n School. where Virginia McFarland, glean Brown, and Evelyn Britt were the star dancers. And ofcourse Margaret Ann Little and Ernestine Brown are the most famous movie stars since the days of Mae XVest. By the way, Peg Eantone and Bill Kim- mell have succeeded Gracie Allen and George Burns. And Chuck Coe inherited Paul W'hiteman's orchestra and his waist- line too. they say! Stan Emrick, who was expected to be Purdue's band leader, spends his time dodging grapefruit as he croons for Eleischman's Yeast. And speaking of yeast, reminds me of the dated biscuits Maxine Eisher and Dor- othy Bryant make. Carl Brown and Bill Douglas deliver them by plane all over the country. And now instead of Oscar it's Ed Kellogg who's chief cook at the XVal- dorf-Astoria. Did mother forget the cir- cus? XVhy, to be sure, XVard Greiner and Lewis Pence are the two famous lion- trainers of the Ifleming-Ifryback circus. with Helen Jackman. famous trapelc ar- tist. They say that the Curts-Iipple air- planes will take nsost of the circus to South Africa this winter. You know Paul XVnlfe manufactures his famous non-run silk hos- iery for smart women in Capetown. XVell. I hear father coming frnni his study. He must have his sermon finished. SCARLET and GRAY

V ALHALLA Tl1e Senior Class we now present, Qur high school days are almost spentg In a few more days-a few more hours Tl1e coveted diploma will be ours. Friendship's fires will still be burning, As we leave this hall of learning, And though to teachers and classmates, too, XY'e must now forever say adieu, Yet in spite of this--our last farewell, In memories they will always dwell. URD The class of 1934 has had four especially Of course the senior year has eclipsed all happy and profitable years .1t the XY est I-a- previous years. For our senior play, Booth fayette High School. During our Hrst year ive listened much. said little, and thereby learned .1 great deal: .1s .1 result we started our sophomore year with .1 confidence that was surprising. Ed Smith was elected pres- ident and. with him as our leader, we staged a very fine class party in mid-win- ter. In the fall of 1932 we again elected oih- cers. and XY'illiam Douglas w.1s chosen our president. Plans were immediately made for the class play and ln the Light of the Hoon proved to be a big success. A party it as l1eld in the middle of the year and was an outstanding event in the history ofthe class. However. the -Iunior-Senior Recep- tior. in Slay capped the climax. Following .1 delicious chicken dinner at Morton School. dancing was enjoyed in the audi- torium. 'lilac gungle theme was very effec- tively used throughout tl1e evening. VIKING EDITION Tarkington's Seventeen was chosen, and much credit is due to Miss Sinks and Mrs. Mueller for the coaching ofa splendid pro- duction. A Hne annual staff was elected and, with Robert Wiley as the editor-in- chief, and Miss Schaaf and Mr. Berkey as advisors, a most successful year book has been published. To the advisors and to the staff the class feels indebted for ai fine piece of work. We are now looking forward to a Gala Week which we know will leave us many happy memories of parties and picnics and pleasures unlimited. We are saying fare- well to many dear friends, both teachers and schoolmates, but we hope to come back for frequent visits during the coming years. The ofhcers for the Senior Class were: Robert Heine, Presidentg Ruth Owen, Vice-Presidentg Eugene Swank, Treasurer, and Howard Knaus, Secretary. i .
