Class Prophecy The other day while in Study Hall the Senior class of Hermitage High School was in a group recalling memories of their past high school ex- periences. During the recollections dignified class president Bob Penny, better known as HBucketsU, remarked that it would be wonderful if they could only foresee what the future held in store for them.' HOh that would be impossiblen said some of the more practically-minded of the group. Derrell Barnes, less practical, said HI know of an old hermit living near here who claimed to be able to see both the past and future by use of a crystal ball with magical qualities.H Although somewhat skeptical the group departed in haste to find this old man who claimed mystic powers. The group was somewhat surprised to find that the old man did exist and even more so when he produced his crystal ball and said in a gruff voice that he would open up the future for them. Where- upon the old man seated himself before the crystal ball and after much rubbing and magical utterances unveiled before the amazed Seniors their hidden future. The first scene revealed a large beautiful home in the process of being built. A tall sun tanned man was poring over a set of blueprints of the structure. From his appearance we knew that this was Robert Penny now a prominent architect who had designed the beautiful home. Bob was now married and had a family of five boys and six girls., Checking over the details of the house with Bob was the owner, a glamorous actress who had just finished a triumphant run on Broadway in the celebrated hit play HHome to Hermitageu. This was revealed to be Dorothy Lightfoot still un- married but still trying. Accompanying Dorothy was her publicity agent, an athletic appearing man dressed in the latest sports attire, who was easily recognized as being Leonard Gardner. Leonard had recently been divorced by his wife because, as she put it, his attention toward women had not been reserved strictly to her. Also on the scene was Dorothy's dress designer, Elizabeth Blackwell Smith, who was married to a movie photographer, had six children and was working only because she preferred not to be idle. The next scene revealed through the magic eye of the crystal ball took us to the courtroom in a large municipal courthouse. As the scene unfolded we saw approaching the judges stand a tall very dignified man with curly black hair and dressed in a conservative blue suit underneath his flowing black robe. This was Judge Lyman Crouch ever faithful to his duty and to his wife and two sons. The first case to appear before the judge involved a traffic accident. It seems that one of the principals, a muscular handsome auto mechanic, had been driving home from work at his normal rate of speed when he ran into a car guided by a woman driver. This lady, Adeline Downs McNulty, says that she had been to a basketball game involving the team she coached and was planning to meet her husband also a coach when without any reason the car driven by the mechanic named Derrell Barnes smashed into first witness, Catherine Button Crabtree, when called to testify she was wheeling her second set of triplets along in their buggy witnessed the accident. She estimated Mr. Barnes speed to be 75 hour in a 35 mile per hour zone and also disclosed the fact that McNulty was driving on the wrong side of the street. hers. The said that when she miles per Mrs.
