Faculty Sponsor CLASS PROPHECY BY ANNA CATHERINE Biiis The 735 had just pulled in at the railroad station and the waiting room was a jumble of chattering excited people. From my stool in the Southern Pacific Cafe I could see one group, aside from the rest, whose gaudy appearance caught my eye. Those faces seemed to tug at my memory. My eye traveled to a large trunk on which was written in bright red letters, Hilley Brothers' Circus. Oh yes, I remember them now. High School friends. I realized that the group was entering the cafe, and as I got a closer view I rec- ognized many other school day pals. After much pushing and quarreling the uproar subsided, and I found myself seated beside a talkative young man whose elbows playfully probed my ribs. He turned to me, and after some seconds of contem- plation, he shouted, Well if it isn't Anna Catherine Bills. Remember me, W. J. Taylor? Hello, I said faintly. I think I know a lot of these people. Yeah, this is the great 'I-Iilley Brothers' Circus' I am Publicity Manager, and Dick Morriss there, is my assistant. Isn't that Lucille Carpenter over there, beside that funny looking fellow in the top hat? Sure, that's Lucille. She is Circus Queen you know, she leads all the parades. And that 'funny looking fellow' is Lynch Oratton, the ring master. And there's Eleanor Blake and her trained seals. That's Annie Laurie Sewell with her. Madam Sewell to you, she is a lion trainer. That lady over there on the two seats next to Lynch is Vivian Weaver. She is the fat woman, probably the fattest in the world. He paused and I took a deep breath. Could that be Elizabeth McNail under that huge hat? Yeah, she and Ellen Niemeir have CLASS WILL By a wild west show. Helen Rosenthal is their trick roper, and Olive Stewart rides bucking horses. And let's see, there's Patricia Mooney and Emma Lowenstein on the flying trapezeg Mary Potthoff, Dora Pendell, Dorothy Russell and Margaret Trueblood are the dancing girls, and, of course, our monkey-man, Henry Wainwright. Those fel-- lows over there with the musical instruments are Joe Dew, Jean Cook, Kermit Williams, and Buddy Wood. They are in the circus band. And remem- ber Edward Bolton? He leads the band. Carmen .larvis is the snake charmer, and Marion Fletcher is the bare-back rider. We shoot Cesar Mendoza out of a cannon sometimes, but only on special occasions. Arthur Lopez is our fire eater, and sometimes we can coax him to eat glass, but he says that ruins his appetite. Frank Gemoets is the strong man on the flying trapeze. Do you know anyone else? Yes, there are a few more I know. What are Lawrence Clifford and Ward Weaver? Oh, Lawrence pinch-hits for the fire eater and the strong man. Ward is our head Barker. He can make more noise than the rest of us put together. Tony Sanchez, Jose Fresquez, and Salvador Es- trada are the clowns. Hatsuko Shioji is Madam X the fortune teller, she sees all, knows all, and tells all, And here's Aurora Dominguez who walks the tight rope. I guess that's about all you know. What do you think of it? I lt's wonderfull lt's-it's marvelous! Do you think I could eat glass, or charm a snake, or just anything to be in your circus? Sure, I guess we can use you. Our magician needs someone to cut in two! ELIZABETH MCNAIL We, the members of the Senior class of I937, being of sound mind, memory, and understanding do hereby make our last Will and Testament. To the Freshman class we do give and bequeath the substance of our master minds which has so easily mastered the courses that were so difficult. May it aid you in your attempt to follow after us. We give and bequeath to the Sophomore class our grave dignity, which has upheld the honor of the school during the past four years, and we sincerely hope you may some day acquire the sensible mien which has won us so much respect from our fellow students. We give and bequeath to the next Senior class the west end of the hall, which has proved so convenient for rendezvous, We admonish you to look sharply for Miss Evan's quick eyes. As a final token of their appreciation, these the most magnanimous members of our class, leave to the following individ- uals, whom they have ever held in esteem, their special gifts: Olive Stewart wills her expressed love of grand opera to Mariann Randel. W. J. Taylor wills his astounding faculty of ob- servance, which enables him to attend ball games and read the account of them in the paper before he can get in his story for the INDIAN SCOUT, to Brady Shannon. To Hal Wofford, Dick Morriss leaves his argumentive powers, which have often even moved Mr. Cooper to releasing him from detention hall. In testimony whereof, We, the Class of l937, have to this our Last Will and Testament, subscribed our names and affixed our seals this 22nd day of May, l937. Page Sixteen 1
