 TEJEJnot THE RAINBOW Senior Class History) of 1926 By Audrey Couch A RETROSPECT see us as we were when we were Freshmen, twenty-seven in number. We are twenty-five now. but we have lost and trained during the past years. Lois Mott was with us one term only. She is now living out of town. Jeanette Jackson. Inez Scruggs, and Edgar Spicer, by their extraor- dinary energy and brilliant minds, left us behind and are now college students—the first, at Gallo- way : the second, at Ward-Belmont: the third, at the University. Girlie Risner left us after one year. She is now working at the telephone office. Mildred Spain, who stayed with us only one term, is married and living in Cotton Plant. Tolsie Williams, an out-of-town student, was one of us for one year. Lida Meyers, though a brilliant girl, has lost her health and had to discontinue her school work. Verlin Fowler, who stayed with us only one term, is now living in Hillman. Ark. Arthur Dalton, our Freshman President, who stayed with us only one term, is now living in Princedale, Ark. During our Sophomore year we gained Mildred Murphy, who stayed with us only one term. She is now living in Tennessee. James Modlin. our Sophomore President, is now living in New Madrid. Mo. Will Rlailock. whose football record we still look back on with pride, is now attending Jonesboro College, at Jonesboro. Ark. Leta Stutts, who stayed with us only one term, is now living at Hamlin. Ark. Ethel Watson, who stayed with us only one term, is now teaching school at Hamlin. Ark., and likes it fine. During our Junior year we gained Alpha Scott, from Colt. Ark.: Ruby Ethridge, from Earle. Ark.: and Wade Halk. from Cherry Valley, Ark. Now. our Senior year, we have gained Charles Dibble, from Earle. Ark. We have welcomed Sam Gooch and James McKie from the Junior Class into our own. With awe and reverence do we regard our Senior year, which seems more like a pleasant dream, from which we are to be rudely awakened by the buffeting of a cold world. As Seniors, we are leaders, as is befitting every Senior Class. Whether we have been competent leaders or not, it is not for us to say : but we have done our best, and we hope to be missed.

■ ■ Ii ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ « ■ ■ ■ ■ m k k m ■ ■ H Class Prophecy) By Mable Wallin X WAS present at a meeting of our Alumni Association of Wynne High School, and was surprised to hear that Dr. George Snowden had just discovered a successful and instantaneous cure of tuber- culosis. He was helped in his experiment by his two efficient nurses. Hazel Blair and Jeannette Primm. Billy Meyers had entered the movies and lived in California, but was interested enough to attend our meeting. We expected him to bring a wife with him. but he still pretends that he does not like love making. Mary Catherine Hall is a teacher of music in a young ladies’ seminary. Ruth Dorris is a concert player and an accompanist of Pauline Howell. They rendered us a beautiful number. Audrey Couch and Tommie Thompson are stenographers in the railroad office. James McKie owns a large farm west of town, and is very happy. Bessie Hale is an expression teacher in one of the State colleges, while Mary Alice Crawford is a Latin teacher in the same school. Ernest Brawner owns Barwick’s Garage. As he is making so much money, he had to hire Ruby Ethridge as his bookkeeper. Louise Stewart had married a farmer, and is very happy. Another wedding had taken place in the past week. Wade Halk had finally got up enough courage to propose to Irene McGinnis. She had readily accepted. Joe Carson had studied chemistry so hard and worked in the laboratory so faithfully that he had pre- pared some patent-leather hair tonic, which was guaranteed to keep your hair stuck down longer than any he had ever tried before. Charles Dibble is a rich bachelor, who hates all women, for the simple reason that a movie star had refused to marry him. Alpha Scott is a saleswoman for Stillman’s Freckle Cream. She sold each of us a jar before the meeting was over. Tennyson Howell is directing athletics in an Eastern school. I am sorry to say that Sadie Steinberg never got married, but is still a prim old maid. Heimie Saripkin is the owner of a large department store, and is doing a flourishing business. We are very surprised to hear that Sam Gooch Is making a good record at college. It took him three years to get out of the Freshman Class. The meeting closed after we had exchanged reminiscences of our school days at Wynne in 1925 and 1926. Senior Poem Classmates, one more day and then good-by. Through these twelve years we’ve toiled together. But now we depart with a sigh. And stand alone to brave life’s weather. There’s a sadness in each and every heart. As we leave our classmates one by one; But life’s game we all must start. Though in the past we’ve shared our troubles and fun. We can never thank or forget our teachers true, Who were always willing their share to do. Sometimes memories will make us feel blue. As we think of our classmates and teachers, too. Ha .kl Blair. Class Poet.
