9 PEAKS THE PEAKS STAFF J Here we see the Annual Staff hard at work (?), but each doing his work in his own little way. The bright little girl on the left is Eleanor Hicks and the guy carrying a large vocabulary is none other than James May. The boy doing nothing next to Jimmy is our efhcient business manager, William Anderson. Behind him, Eileen Brent has her little horse and next to her Alex Listoe is worrying about remote matters. At the type- writer is Owen Keeler, the Editor-in-Chief and behind him shines Ira Watson. Of course, we couldn’t leave out June Mackey, looking invitingly from the right. ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS The Peaks Staff wishes to make the following acknowledgements and to express its sincere gratitude: To Mr. J. L. Borden, for his interested and active assistance in getting out this book. To Mr. J. A. Dunn, of Brown-Morrison Company, for his help in arranging and forming the book. To Mrs. Owen F.

CLASS PROPHECY While touring Europe last summer, in a small town in the little country of Bavaria, I became very much interested in a so-called wizard, a native of that country. For a paltry sum, equivalent to an American dollar, he offered to project my mind into the future and I had the privilege of choosing the persons whose future I should learn. Needless to say I chose the future of Bedford High School’s graduating Class of 1937. I entered the place, which was dark and gloomy and the creator of magic silently handed me a pipe to smoke, the pipe containing some dream-provoking opiate. As I smoked, I fell into a trance and dreamed of the future of my classmates of Bedford High School. As I began to dream, I found myself approaching a huge building. I looked up and saw written in big letters, that it was a printing company and imagine my surprise on learning that the president was Walter Arrington. As I hurried into the building, I quickly recognized the head stenographer Miss Frances Lazenby. As I approached her desk, I saw that she was talking to a man, whom I recognized as Jimmie May. H seemed to be having some trouble. I later found out that he had compiled a dictionary with words so long that the publishers did not have Wide enough paper to print them. His wife was with him and I recognized her as the former Janie Holdren. As I left the building an airplane buzzed across the sky and landed in a field nearby. And whom should I see alighting from the plane but Mary Logwood; in her hand she carried a bunch of well known sket ches. The pilot climbed out and there Fred Turner stood, the boy was always sailing paper airplanes out of the window behind the teacher’s back. Behind him came Gordon Deacon, another classmate. After I talked to him I learned that he was co-pilot. To my surprise, Jane Hardy, the shyest girl in the Senior Class, was the stewardess. After leaving the landing field, I heard that there was a convention in that city. As I approached the crowd, my old friend, Reva Meador, stepped out. She told me that it was a married people’s convention and that she and her husband had come from Big Island, Virginia. As I talked to her, Eleanor Hicks came hurrying up to greet me and I saw with her a tall man in a navy uniform. I easily recognized him as Owen Keeler and of course Eleanor was Mrs. Keeler. A fat couple were having trouble getting through the crowd and when they came in view I recognized Mr. and Mrs. G. D. Hop- kins, Mrs. Hopkins being Ruth Wright before her marriage. As I dreamed, I traveled to another city, and soon after I arrived there I was at- tracted by a sign, Matrimonial Bureau. I entered and saw a door marked President, and being curious about a person who would choose to own such an establishment, I entered. Imagine my shock when I recognized June Mackey behind the desk. She said that she was tired of being married and had decided to put her experience to good use by opening a matrimonial agency. I realized that she must have had much experience in marriage when she informed me that she had just completed proceedings for her fourth divorce. I recognized the name of only one of her husbands, Alex Listoe, of the U. S. Army. I well remembered how desperately Fanny and Listoe were in love during their high school careers. One letter of her correspondence ran thus: “I am very lonely and I can’t find any girl to marry me. Can’t you find me a wife. Signed, Ralph Saunders.” And another letter from Earlie Stanley asked for reference for an eligible husband. The next lap of my journey was to a famous hospital. When I entered I recognized Jack Carter in the immaculate uniform of an interne. He was soon to leave the hospital
