221 CLASS PROPHECY We have never believed in fortune tellers. But recently something happened which has changed our unbelief to belief. Back in 1937, some gypsies came to Columbiana. They were fortune tellers, and we realize now that they were really good. When we took a list of the Class of 1937 to them, without seeing the people, they prophesied the future of each of them. And upon investigating now, in 1950, we discover that all but a few of the prophecies have come true. We have had some scouts out checking up on the Class, and we have discovered a lot of things. ' One of the first persons we have seen ourselves, is Eldon Strausbaugh. He has dis- covered a new element which will talk, eat, and breathe. DeWayne Anglemyer has gone far too. He is the 1950 Olympic Champ for the low hurdles and the 100 yard dash. We are told that Elouise Beesh has married an oil magnate who, it is rumored, is very successful. Yes, Maurice Bell is a farmer, but not an ordinary farmer. He raises canned-com and peeled-potatoes. With these inventions he hasn't had any trouble in getting a wife. lane Staley is working in the Hershey Chocolate factory. lane always did like to taste candy- ' Bill as We knew him, is now Dr. Clendenin, and is healing his patients with his songs. He always had a soothing voice, or something. As for Eleanor Harrold, the fortune tellers made a mistake. She isn't married yet, herself, but is employed in good old C. H. S. as a teacher of Courtship 'and Home- Bui1ding. Beth Warner is making millions from the new typewriter she has patented. Even children can use it, because it has no keys. The woman's place may be in the home, but the former Louise Smith is helping her husband to run the Harrold Feed Mill. Because of their special scratch feed, they have merged with Roger Moser who is raising chickens that lay fried, scrambled, or hard- boiled eggs. s ' Mary Henry is the Women's Plea-Weight Champion of the United States. She is now appearing at Liberty Gardens in Washingtonville. Lenore Uselton has proved that a woman can many and have a career too. She is now appearing at Ye Old Opera House wi th her husband and his dance band. Charley Fullerton is one jump ahead of Atlas. He is running a health resort on Fair- field Avenue, and is guaranteeing a new 'body in 3 days. Bill Baker is president of the Yankem 6: Pullem Dental School. His success is mainly due to the tireless efforts of his wife, the former Consuella Brooks, and to his ability which has been handed down through generations. A X We have just received some more reports from our scouts. They report that Ruth Kurtz has married, settled down, and is now raising-chickens. Betty Funk, whose oratory has dazzled jurors from coast to coast, owes her success, in part, to her red hair. After being disappointed in love four times, Leonard Reisen has retired to the depths of the Huckleberry Swamps and is living the secluded life of a hermit. Anna Hammond is running the Hammond Home for the Mentally Deranged- She specializes in cases of Obsession Ideation, and Schizophrenia. Evelyn Moore has departed from our fair country, and has landed in Paris. There she pursues her art of dress-making, and is rated among the best. Ruth Wilson is leading a very quiet and peaceful life as the wife of a minister. Queer things have happened on busses. . Betty Hoover is operating a savings bank. She says Don't wait until you're old. De- posit now. Hodge Way is tired of dil1y-dallying and has taken over the management of the foundry. His wife, the former Anna Exten, has taken over the management of his home.

CLASS PROPHECY Esther Bell is getting rich because of her new writing system. Her slogan is Clear as a Bell. A Betty Allyn has been chosen the first poet laureate of the United States, in recognition of her very famous poem Time and Tide. Edith Moore has gone far since her high school days. She is now a very fine botan- ist in the Ditherdale Institution, and has the largest collection of leaves in the World. Emmie alias Vera Harrold, is now singing good old mountain music on the N U T network. - The reports are coming in all the time. We see now that Dorothy Harrold is the proud owner of the Tweet-Tweet canary farm. She uses Singmore Bird Seed, a Harrold Mill product. Ada Newell, B. A., D. D., M. D., and Ph. D., is clerking in a grocery store. She has tired of education at last. Iames Bender is now a registered pharmacist, and has taken over the former Bowles' Drug Store. It has been said that wives don't make good models, but Bob Culp has proved this statement to be false. He says that his wife, a former C. H- S. cheer leader, makes a very good model. Bob Patchen holds the world's record for flag-pole sitting. He has broken the old rec- ord of three years, four months, ten days, four hours, three minutes, and forty-six seconds and is still sitting. Mademoiselle Young has tired of appearing on the stage as a tap-dancer, but rather than let her talents go unused, she is training the young in the art of tap7dancing, lest it be lost. Back in the good old days at C. H. S., we never thought we had a movie star in our midst. But Lady Christabelle Actwell, the former Rachel Brown, is now appearing at the Globe twhich has been remodeledl, in Love, Where Art Thou? , the picture so ably directed by our old crony, George Herrmann. Ioe Feicht has made good his old threat, and has joined the navy. After many years of faithful service, he has been appointed Bear-Admiral. Howard Clawges is selling his own products now. He has a complete line of Tognol and Zastad kitchen supplies. ' A Herbie Sponseller has set a coast to coast record in his originally designed plane, Mabel. Fred Lower is managing a summer resort overlooking Pine Lake, and attracts his customers with auto races, featuring Olan Crum who has won the races nine consecutive times with his daring and speed. We remember when Olan got his start as a racer. Howdy Manchester is nowla pitcher for the Shady Hill Hucksters. It has been a long, hard struggle, but, with his wife's encouragement, he has finally achieved his ambition. Uncle Sammie Lindsay, Dick Iohnson, and Bob Todd are featured on the Quaker Oats Kiddies' Hour. Uncle Sammie tells the stories, Todd offers the vocal- renditions, While the sound effects are by Iohnson. And now we have a confession to make. We have been fooling you. We didn't really send out any scouts to check up on the class. We did it ourselves. Of course, we had to do some travelling, but it has been worth it, for we have found everyone happy and con- tented. We only hope that each one may continue to do as well as he is doing now.-Wil- lis Lesher and Caroline Hoffman. P. S. We also have done a little checking up even though the scouts didn't know it. We find that Willis Lesher has become quite a success on Broadway, where he has commer- cialized on his artificial nose. And, as for Caroline Hoffman, due to the practice she got cutting out pictures for the annual, she has become a silhouette artist and travels from school to school illustrating her skill. l23
