Senior Class Prophecy of ’2.9 One Autumn day, in the year of 1950, I was walking along a faint trail in a lovely forest. I had not gone far, when I saw an old witch dressed in black, who was stirring some- thing in a huge cauldron which bore these words, Your Past.” I became somewhat frightened, but she smiled and said, Is there anything you would like to have me tell you?” I answered, Yes, I would like to know what my fellow-graduates of ’29 are doing.” The witch then poured some magic powder into the cauldron and soon the hot mixture was bubbling. Then, to my astonishment, visions appeared. The first one was of Margaret Miller, and the witch told me that Margaret was making excellent use of her Home Economics Course in Chicago, where her husband, Maurice Rockwell, was the manager of the City Power Plant. The smiling face of Calvin Finn was the next to appear. According to the witch, Kelley” was the Chief Ranger of Yellowstone National Park, where he was living a bachelor’s life! I then beheld the handsome face of Harry Billings. It greatly surprised me to learn that Harry was not a missionary doctor as I had expected, but that he was the feature editor of the New York Daily Times. Harry was living in a comfy” little house in the suburbs of that great city, and he rode the subway back and forth each day. Thelma Brown was the next vision I saw. The witch said that Thelma was gaining renown as America’s foremost actress. I also learned that she was engaged by a Film Company that was owned and managed by her old friend, Merl Hurd. The face of Roger Low then appeared slowly but surely. To my amazement, Roger was operating the U. S. Airmail Lines, with the exclusive use of his newly invented airplane, which was manufactured by the Chevrolet Company. The last picture revealed Ida Harris, giving a concert on the municipal organ in Chicago. As this picture faded, these words were clearly formed: Your fortune has been What you have demanded or decreed; You have been rich, or glad, or great, For you have been the master of your fate.” —Ida Harris « 17

Junior Class History We, the class of 1930 give a sigh of satisfaction and of relief as we pass the milestone of a successful Junior year. After three years faithfully served, we are about to come into our own, and it is with a feeling of responsibility that we prepare to take over the twofold burden of making the traditions of the school more permanent, and of further preparing the way for future Classes. Organizing late in the school year, Fred Clatworthy, Jr. was elected president; Arthur Robbins, secretary; and Edward Banks, Business Manager. Miss Stewart was chosen class sponsor. We organized with the purpose of continuing an old custom in every High School, the Junior-Senior Banquet. We worked hard to make this one of the bright lights on the social calendar of the year. Other outstanding successes were realized in scholarship and athletics. One of our greatest services was the help given the Seniors in the presentation of the Senior Class play and Operetta. Now we look expectantly forward to a brilliant ending of a profitable career at Estes Park High. —Ruth Byerly, ’30 19
