14 VV. S. H. .S. 1920 SENIOR cl.Ass PROPHESY OF 1920 JJ' J-8' J-'I' In the fall of the year 1948. a large trans-Atlantic passenger plane was swiftly speeding toward England. In the observation room of this plane, a man was standing by a window watching a large ocean vessel slowly drop behind the fast ship of the skies. He was seen to turn sud- denly and look at a man and woman, who were talking together. The man had just said, 1 wonder what Louis Johnson and Bob Zener are do- ing, now? The man at the window looked at the couple for an instant and then, as if he recognized one of them, he went forward and asked, Did I hear you mention the names of Louis Johnson and Bob Zener? The couple regarded him for a moment. Then the man said, Why, he'llo, Bob, what the deuce are you doing here? And what have you been doing since the days of old W. S. H. S.? Bob settled himself and said, live been drifting around considerably since 1920. Now I'm special investigator for the Governmentf' While he was saying this, he had been looking at the woman. Suddenly he said, By the holy bald-headed Mohammed, if it isn't the gir'l from Bingen What are you two doing here? With a smile, John replied, We are on a trip to celebrate our silver wedding. We are going to Paris where Donnell is to speak on the Evils of Chewing Gum. You know he is a real second Billy Sunday when it comes to sluggying the goo During the conservation that followed it was revealed that John was the unknown or rather mysterious writer of a famous series of stories called, Love, in the West, along the Columbia. The remainder of the history of th-e class of 1920, is as told to the writer of this article by Bob Zener, about a year later when he was again in New York. ........................ Arriving at London the three of us noticed a roof sign: Samuel Dallas, Teacher of Asthetic Dancing! '

1920 W. S. H. S. 13 A CLASS WILL R!! We, the Senior Class of Nineteen hundred and twenty, after being mauled, overwhelmed, and torn apart by the studies and teachers for four years, nealize that we will never recover. Therefore we make this our last will and testament after passing the most severe of tests for mental soundness: We bequeath the following articles to the school and members thereof 3 First-To the High School as a whole we leave two perfectly good Orange and Black pvennants to adorn the walls of the assembly room here- after and forever. Second-To the Class of '21 our greatly esteemed and beloved heirs and comrades, we do will and bequeath all our superfluous knowledge and brilliancy. We feel that this class has long been in need of such a gift and hope that the members ,of said Class will use it to the best of their infantile ability. ' p , The individual members of the class do bequeath their virtues and several possessions as follows: - Roscoe Branaman bequeaths a half bottle of Bandoline to Everett Bartholomew to keep his pompadour in place while he is executing some of his original fancy dances. Also to Alba Bartholomew his small pipe and one-third can of Prince Albert as he tRoscoeh isexpecting to pur- chase a second hand Mirschaum after graduation. John Dickey leaves his cheerful smile and winning ways to Floyd Williams with the hope that said attraction will aid him, in capturing some of the ever elusive opposite sex. Frank Hall wills his cleverness and Terpsichorean art to Jack Wright. ' Norman Hayes leaves his supposed prominence and power to Elliot Degman for future use as the son of a director. Laura Cole leaves her Charms to dilute the coquvettishness of Thel- ma Houston. ' A Ricka Claterbos bequeaths her dignined bearing to Georgia 'Thomas Marie Wyers leaves her souvenir from the stock show to Bernie Throop. Bob Zener wills his knowledge of connecting electric gongs -on April lst to Mr. Underwood in case he tUnderwoodJ should need any help in locating the trouble. Donnell Henderson leaves his 'last cent as a neward to the finder of several French poems which were for the French, page in the annual. Therefore believing that we have mention ed everything of dire impor- tance we appoint Supt. H. C. Lowden as executor of this Will. . tSignedJ The' Senior Class of 1920 Wltnessed by: Donnell Henderson Frank Hall Ricka Claterbos

1920 W. S. H. S. 15 When we arrived in Paris, we went to a Cafe for lunch. While there 501111 happened to read in a newspaper that a. famous French chef had been identified as an American woman, Miss Marie VVyers, from White Salmon, Washington. This chef was noted far and wide for his i?J won- derful pastries, which were made in animal shapes. Just lik-e those old animal cookies!! The next day I happened to meet the Dickeys again and learned that they had been conducted through a zoo by Laura Cole, who is the guide of the Institution. I learned nothing of any of the o'ld Class of 1920 until a few weeks later when upon returning to New York, I read in the Who's Who of a large magazine, that Louis Johnson and Norman Hayes are managing a large teacher's agency. Their specialty is young ladies. This article went on to say that they had been very efiici-ent -- no doubt due to the exper- ience obtained while in high school. Well, so be it, let 'em enjoy themselves. A short time later while going through Boston, who shou'ld I meet but Miss Ricka Claterbos. Naturally We talked of old times. Ricka is run- ning an Old Maids' hospital and a home for pensioned parrots and aged cats. She says that she enjoys her work, and feels quite at home. Just a few days ago I met Roscoe Branaman in a Western town. He is a trainer of wild animals, especially cooties. Also, Roscoe says that Frank Hall is back to his old tricks. Frank is farming at a place called Trout Lake. He raises peaches and has a peach of a wife. He said after all the strenuous work in High School, he thought he would take a rest for the remainder of his days. This ends the prophesy of the class of 1920, the Black and Orange Class. -R.Z.
