fied, and the present junior class,
wMch will have to stage a similar
performance next year, is decidedly
pessimistic in regard to the chances of
working up something new.
The morning was spent in the high
school auditorium. The class pro
phecy, supposed to become true in ten
years, waa acted on the stage to the
satisfaction of the performers and
their parents, who formed a large
part of the audience of 500. ' v -Each
person acted out the prophecy
as written for the annual. The whole
made a "revue" that had a Ziegfleld
Folly show beat hands down. Songs,
short acts and other devices were ar
ranged for the members of the class
to demonstrate exactly what should
happen to them.
In the afternoon the show was
transferred to the scboolgrounds, and
the girls had a conspicuous part in
the festivities. The afternoon's pro
gram started at 1:30 and a parade
around the grounds was staged, the
girl clowns being the feature of the
procession. Following came series
of folk and other dances, a Maypole
dance, down dance and tightrope
walking contest being presented.
The boys also staged a field day,
this being sensational in the extreme.
A bicycle relay race with Merl. Bueh
ner and Edmqnd Way pitted against
Mertice Buchner and Edward Umph
rey, was held, the distance being one
mile, each contestant racing a half
mile. Three-legged races and potato races
were also held, and the girls indulged
in a discus-throwing contest. Those
contesting in this event were Ethel
Bussard, Helen Livengood, Amna'Ho-
flich and Irene Barrett.
