CLASS OP 36 FROPHiCY Because I have been empowered with the gift of insight the Class of 38 has asked me to contact the other in search of a glimpse of the future. I see a haze—maybe it's the atmosphere of Ye Old Studie Hall—no, it seem to be the smoke from a campfire. The smoke lifts and before me stands my old friend, Peggy Kilkenny, in front of a tepee. She appears to be at home. She's even wearing the ermine wrap she has always wanted. The scene shifts----Millions of women are clamoring for entrance to a movie house. They are eager to see none other than the ever-gentle, soft spoken, mati nee idol, Antone Cunha. He reputedly is a successor to Robert Taylor of our old high school days. I’m in touch with Detroit, Michigan where the Finance Manager of General Motors Corporation, Elna Pearson, is re-sighing her position because she's just realized a fortune on her latest invention. She perfected the auto head light dimmer so that it functions on the human eye, eliminating those dangerous and confusing lights in the eyes. Now I feel myself being wafted to Portland where the ’ orld Champion Typing Contest is being held. ’,rith all the excellent typists who have graduated from high school I should see some familiar faces. Ah I yes, there's Blair Coleman. He's keeping three adding machines busy tabulating his strokes-no, it's mistakes

they're recording. I hear Coley's been working on an automatic correction -vice that eliminates the necessity of knowing how to spell and punctuate. The mist clears again. I can see familiar figure through the haze. Vera Smith is combing the tangles from the blond curls of a little boy—Maybe she s a teacher!! .. . v Speaking of Vera makes us think ol Don Shcpshire whom we will remember as a lover of horses and as I find him now he is pursuing a likely profession. He is a successful Shetland pony bareback rider in Ringling Brothers Circus. The scene of the Circus changes to the scene of a contractor's large office where Lester Roberts is giving orders to a bevy of yes men . Les contracts the tearing down of obnoxious buildings school houses being his specialty. Last but not least, we find Dizzy Aus tin employed by the General Motors Corporation as Chief Architect and Designer of trucks and ambulances. We will remember the fascination dump trucks (espec ially green ones) held for Dizzy in her high school days.
