WESTFIELD SENIOR CLASS PROP!-IEC! To see what is going to happen to the class of 1952 let's go to Madame Cm-13 and look into her cry- stal ball. What do we see in the crystall ball? We see Shirley Andre as head of the Commercial Department of our dear Alma Mater. Another image comes into view. It is Sterry Root, and Hugh Clark. The Crystal tells us that they are two of the most successful farmers in the Cowanesque Valley. When this image disappears another takes it's place. In this one we see two nurses, Anna Mae Hurd and Joyce Safford. Anna is the school nurse at West- field and Joyce is on the obstetrics staff at St, Joseph's Hospital in Elmira. As quickly as this vanishes another appears. Here in the crystal ball we see that Jack Edgar has fulfilled his ambition and finally got to college. Gene Van Gorden is playing college football. We see Marcia Dibble has now established a cute little beauty shop in Westfield. Geraldine Eaton has now become the world's greatest concert pianist. Dorothy Swayne is now teaching Math at Westfield. This picture slowly fades as another comes to take it's place. In this we see Marilyn Mack and Ella Mae McFall as private secretaries to business executives. Keith Simmons is a State Trooper, and Harry King. a professor, of Chemistry at a large university. Marie Palm, now Mrs. Ransom, is enjoying herself by keeping house. Alyce Morris has fulfilled her dreams by making her own living. Glenn Skinner is now a young multi.-millionaire because he thought up a scheme to get rich quick. Richard Lovell and Wallace Whitmire are mechanics who are very skilled. When this picture fades into infinity another takes it's place in Madame Carla's crystal ball. Here we see a speed demon who is none other than John Lee Olofson. William Fitz- water now owns a large chain of self-service stores and is very successful and prosperous. His friend Charles King is now married and still working at HGl'Id91'8h0tS Garage- And Ruth Atwell is now the first woman President of our beloved nation! When this picture has past no other comes. Madame Carla dismisses us with a brief statement. And we go out still wondering if all of this will come to pass. 35

KNOXVILLE SENIO CLASS PROPHECY The Gowanesquean presents 'Jeanie with the Light Brown Hair', their roving reporter from way 'Down Yonder' with the hi-lites for 1962. After the rel1ni01'1 of the class of '52, which was held 'On the Sidewalks of New !ork', we dropped into a night club called the Nut House. CThat's right--only nuts were admitted.j Guess who owned the Nut House? None other than Clyde Howard. He recognized us and we were all served on the house. We heard lovely strains of a violin and who should be playing it but Mary Baconl We talked over old times and also about the latest. Edith and 'Sonny' were very excited about their new hit 'Noontime Winter's Nightmare.' Bev, Margie, and Arloween were quite elated because they had all landed good jobs as typists in the business part of the 'Night and Day' Co., owned by Darlene Wilson, who is her own head designer We will 'Always' remember the dynamic sermon we heard in 'The Church in the Wildwood' delivered by Reverend Nathan Eaves. From all reports we hear that Ed is getting on well as a vet. His favorite quotation, is 'I thot I saw a putty cat-where is she now?' While we were leaving the city by way of 'Hocking Bird Hi1l', we came upon two lovely little cottages with mailboxes lettered Gill and Bacon. Working in a flower garden was, of all people, Luva. She said, 'Ies, it was Dot that lived next door and tnat she was probably at 'Home by the Range Ckitchenl.' Dot said she had just had her house fixed up with all the latest types of elect- rical equipment by Duane Doan. While riding in our 'Merry Oldsmobile' we had a flat right in front of a school. A tall, handsome teacher came striding out to keep the children away from the car while we changed the tire. He looks familiar. Wh ! no wonder It's Gene Seelye. A little girl standing close by looks like someone we should know, but she is too young. She tells us she is 'Helen' Watson, Don's little girl. Don is one of the nearby farmers. Again we get started on our way and we come upon a 'hopped up heap of Junk' which has been wrecked. Cut and hurt standing by, surveying da- mages, was a marine--I say, it's Paul McCarth . Right on the scene we have with us two registered nurses, Lela and Onnalee, who soon fix him up in good shape. we 'Hurry on Down' to Nantucket where a circus has just come to town. Here we see Hervey caring for the elephants, Larry'training the lions, Winnie collecting the ticket money, and the barker at the main tent is none other than our old president and favorite master of ceremonies, Ernie Jacobson. As we munched cottoncandyand peanuts, we all decided that the best years of our life had been spent in high school. 3h
