gem Adelia Hendrickson, an artist who Will mural decorations do, And be, as well, a portrait painter, Who'll make poor Rembrant's glory fainter. Bob Wams1ey's really going places, He'll always see new sights and faces. His life will be neither dull nor drab, For he will drive a taxicab. Lloyd Daugherty, whose face will beam From every theatre's movie screen, Will be well known for the parts he'1l play. He may even out-Boyer Boyer. Soon Mary Jayne will have her fortune made, In alquiet refined tradeg She'll gain no small amount of fame As engineer on a railroad train. I see him as the foremost of our famous men, We'll all be proud we knew him when, 'I'o Congress by the people sent, Gilbert may wind up a president. And now, my next prophecy Will be about Marjorie. She'll be a Marine, freedom's protector, The nation's foremost leathernecker. I don't mean that he'll fiy a plane or join the paratroops. Harvey will rise to greater heights than any of us droops. He'll have his ups and downs, and downs and ups some more, For he will run an elevator in a department store. Not fond, himself, of overwork, He can't endure that others shirk. So Johnny Anderson will run with glee A great employment agency. And last, not least, I will relate The trade that will be Shirley's fate. In a beauty shop, she will keep fair, Her classmates figures, faces, and hair. Charles Ledford, who's composed this verse, Is the Senior problem child, there are none worse. In the Navy lies his biggest interest And as a Naval officer he'd do his best. 1943 Page l lfly-foul'

yew Class Prophecy or Nobody Knows the Trouble I See Charles Led ford You have all had your fortunes read By card, trances, or the bumps on your head. Now that you've gathered here today, I shall disclose a better way. You all have quite revealing features That made it hard to fool your teachers. To prove your faces don't fool me, I shall now tell you all I see. Roxana Ray's the first I choose. Her fame will come through Singing blues. She really has a quite nice voice And soon will be the nation's choice. Of Brands there is much to be said. Of course I mean our fat friend Fred. This wonderful wizard of flight Will someday fly a better kite. With gestures wide and voice intense, At speaking pieces she's immense. And so Vera Jones upon the stage Will soon become the nation's rage. I next will tell Bob Morgan's fate, That glib tongued master of debate. He'll argue morning, noon, and nizht, And always win though wrong or right. Anna Van is meek and mildg She's never been a problem child. I see her married, in her home, With problem children of her own. Charles McAllister, you all know, Is always putting on a show. He'll someday be an operator In a moving picture theatre. Al Coolidge, another Senior bold, Is an A-1 student I am told. He'll have degree upon degree, Ph. D., M. D., B. S.. A. B. 1943 4 lhwp I f.fIpf,-fflrff

gem Class Will Vera Snow Jones We, the Class of 1943 of Jackson County High School, being in as good mental condition as usual and in much better temper, do hereby make this our last will and testament. We feel that our brilliant record and our unusual achievements will live after us, but, not wishing to take any chances, we suggest that a tablet, on which shall be in- scribed our several names and a few of' our most astounding deeds, be purchased and placed into the auditorium of the school in a position where it will strike the eye of all who enter. And in this manner do we dispose of our possessions: We leave the Junior class our good luck. It made us what we are today, and it should satisfy them. In addition to this, all our privileges and rights as Seniors in the classroom will revert to them, also the Seniors will and bequeath to the Junior class our well-known nerve, which they will need in the future. To our good friends, the Sophomore class, we leave our patience. It will be found useful as the only means by which they can endure the Juniors. To the young and unsophisticated Freshmen we leave a map of the school building so that they will not get lost and roam about in everybody's way looking for their classroom. It will be noticed that, although we have left bequests to the Junior class soon to be Seniors, to the Sophomores soon to be Juniors, and to these who will, in the fall, become Freshmen, we have made no mention of the present Freshman class which will be known as the Sophomore class in the few months. We have left them nothing, be- cause by that time their self-valuation will have attained such heights that nothing in our possession would be regarded by them as worthy their distinction. To our dear old school building itself, we leave the peaceful quiet caused by our absence. Any orange peelings, wads of gum, from a year ago fsince it now is rationedj, pinion nuts, red heart candies, or crumpled love notes we may have left about. To our superintendent, Mr. Kellenbenz, we will and bequeath a sense of relief that we have at last been graduated, pleasant memories of our four years in this school, and a feeling of pride in any great deed or noteworthy achievements that our future may contain, realizing that such glories, if any, will owe much to his example and counsel. To the remainder of our teachers, the faculty of the Jackson County High School, we hereby give, free from all inheritance, luxury, or income tax, our entire store of knowledge. From them it came and to them it should be returned, that others may be 194? l'uyr' 1 ffIfrfi N 4
