D-is Mr. Dallas, whose knowledge of law, Beats anything that we ever saw. E-is for Everyone, we all stand together, And cheer for our school, in all kinds of weather. F-is for Football, that game can't be beat, Through fairness and squareness, we've taken defeats. G-is for Good-that's how we all act- But in the study hall our work seems to slack. H-is for Him which is all that you hear. Then a crowd of the fair sex start arguing near. I-is for Invalids, who seek rest room permits- And complain of diseases from toothaches to fits.

P-is for Principal, yes we have one too- W'ho is always interested in whatever we do. Q-is for Questions, we ask a full score, And fail to reply to that many more.

T-is for Thompson and Oh! what a man- He teaches you woodwork by the use of your hand. U-is for Universities, where our seniors will go To teach lots of things that they do not yet know. V-is for Vischer, a boy that is keen, The finest librarian we've ever seen. W-is for Whitmer, the best in the land- The right road to progress it beckons its hand. X-is for Xmas, the break of the year, When books are forgotten until the New Year. - Y-is for Years that we have spent here, They'll always be filled with memories dear. Z-is for Zeal-which we all must possess, In school or out, to be a success. -MYRTLE BROWN. Page Twenty-one

Solon burst out in laughter when the Oracle has completed his reading and had turned around to join him. Fate surely played some queer tricks on those people, but I suppose they are all succeeding in whatever they are doing. Solon replied with a laugh and bid the Oracle a fond farewell, forgetting the many questions he had come to ask. ALDA BODETTE 32 ROBERT THORNTON SZ CLASS HISTORY Early in the fall of 1928 the present Senior Class began their high school life proper. At that time the class was composed of ninety boys and girls, all eager for a higher education, and most of them were willing to work and to work hard for it. Leah Jones was chosen the president of the Freshman Class. She proved to be a very capable and industrious leader. During the sophomore year many of the fellows held important positions on our athletic teams. A sophomore play and several successful parties were given, but best of all, Whitmer's place in County scholarship contests arose. Under the leadership of Charles Blacklidge, we passed a very interesting year. DeNell Meyers was our president the third year. Be an Optimist and the junior-Senior banquet, given in honor of the graduation class, were out- standing attractions. The ball room was decorated in oriental style with pyramids and sphinx to make it realistic. Now, in our Senior year, we have exceptional confidence in our leader, Harold Vischer. For the last four years we have worked together, played together, studied together, and perhaps even sorrowed together. The class has dwindled to almost sixty, but the spirit we had when we were freshmen still prevails. We are on the threshold of a new life. The world is expecting the best that we have. We are willing, even anxious to go on. -DENE LL MEYERS. Page Twenty
