PROPHECY CLASS OF NINETEEN--HUNDRED FIFTY--FOUR Last night as I sat alone, leafing thru an Annual of five years ago, I began to wonder what would become of the girls and boys who held the position of Seniors here in our high school-the class of Nineteen-hundred and F ifty-four. Further thought caused my curiousity to become aroused concerning my fellow classmates. What would be our fate in the coming years? Suddenly I heard a faint tapping at the window. It grew more and more urgent and as I walked slowly toward it, a weird, ghostly voice said, Open thy window and let mein . . . Scared and shaking, but afraid to disobey, I lifted the sash and a black robed figure floated in. It was covered with a heavy black veil and the only visible parts of anatomy were two long, slim, bony hands. It threw back the heavy veil revealing a very ancient and bewitchful looking face. Long, stringy, hair led me to believe this thing was a woman. She limped slowly across the room and stood by the table. As I watched her she turned and fastened her hypnotic eyes upon mine. My mind was soon put at rest for she said, Fear not, my dear. I have been sent by the Spirit of Prophecy to tell you the future of your fellow class- mates . From within the folds of her flowing black robe she dr ew a large mystic orb which she placed on the table be- fore me. She began moving her long, slim, bony hands over the celestial sphere while mumbling her mysterious dialect. Suddenly her eyes began to roll and her general appearance became more superhuman. I see, I see , she cried. The future is passing before me. The years go swiftly. 1954-1955-l965-1971-1973-1974. lt has stopped! Into the future I shall take you. We will travel twenty years into the deep, There is , she said, an office . I believe it is the office of your dear old C.G. High. Sitting behind the superintendent's desk is Gordon A. Meyer and nearby is his assistant-the principal, Roger Ridinger. Coming into the office is the school secretary, Jeanne Stechschulte. She is really kept busy and it is doubtful the school could get along without her. flncidentally, we hear Superintendent Meyer never attended college. He passed his tests and got his degree all in one daylj Principal Ridinger is looking over Saturday's football results of the Michigan-Ohio State game. The score was 20-20, a good thing, because the Ohio State head football coach, Jim Hayden, and the Michigan coach, Dale Jenkins, are the friendliest of rivals. Neither team has lost a game since 1962 when Jim and Dale be- came the Big Chiefs . I see , she continued, a small, neat dress shop on the exclusive Fifth Avenue in New York City. It is owned and managed by 'Countess Doneta', your fellow classmate, Doneta Amstutz . She designs and sells her lovely fashions to the best-dressed women in New York. I The scene moves to LaGuardia Air Port. Coming out of the large Pan-American plane is Stewardess Beverly Sperbeck, 'Queen of the Airways', and behind her comes Detective Robert Eversole who is affiliated with the F.B.L He is on another top-secret mission. They are headed for 'Janet's Supper Club' located in downtown New York. It is a very swanky place where the best-of-the-bestest in food is served. Janet DeVelbiss is kept quite busy man- aging her place and doing all of the bookwork, but she is still as efficient as ever . with a slight quickening of speech, she continued, I see a very happy looking couple waiting for a plane. It is the very famous star Julius La.Rosa and his private secretary, Carol Kurber, who has secretly been his wife for fifteen years . Here we are, back in Grove again. See that tall man coming down the street? said my mysterious guest. That is Benny Baxter. He's the tallest mailman in Columbus Grove. Lookl He's reading postcards again. He knows more about everybody else's problems then they do. Now he's stopping at the Putnam County Vidette office. Inside Charlotte Lentz Heffner is working very industriously at her desk. The paper has grown in the past twenty years, and Charlotte is now assistant editor. CThis paper is a family concernl. Benny is moving again-slow, but sure. He is approaching a large garage. Here Glen Williams and Fred Wootten are partners. They don't have too much business today so they are just sitting around talking. There are Ronnie Fisher, Herbert Carpenter, Ed Davis, and James Goedde . Ed Davis stopped in on his way to the grainnery. He has a big chicken ranch out in the country. He raises six-legged chickens for people whose children like drumsticks. Ed developed this breed himself and it has made him a wealthy man. Mr. Goedde says he just dropped in to see how the other half lives. His automotive repair shop in Toledo is one of thebiggest inOhio. He is an expert on repairing Franklins and Stanley Steamers . Ronnie Fisher is telling about his big job at SOHIO in Lima, He practically controls the business. fHe's the J anitorj. Herbert is having quite a time telling of his experiences. He is a Fleet Admiral in the Navy and he's
