l'T- Ml THE 1947 COMMENT lid SENIOR CLASS PROP!-IECY We had just about given up hope. The deadline for turning in this prophecy was almost up and our Helper h-adn't shown up yet! Previous prophets, you know, have been helped out by such omniscient beings as Kilroy, Far-sighted G-ran'paw, or Mrs. Ouija Board, Afterall, to decide right off what one hundred and thirty-some innocent school- mates are going to be doing in ten years and probably for the rest of their lives is a pretty serious thing to do, especial-ly without a Helper. But just as I said, we ha-d almost given up hope when the funniest, most coincidenta-l thing happened. Just as I was sort of unconsciously fingering an ink bottle I happened to say, Inky blinky block , and whether you believe it or not, a big, black genie rose up from inside that ink bottle and sat on my desk. It had a rather shapeless sha-pe, called itself Monsieur Scri.pto . It is to Monsieur Scripto that we are indebted for guiding our fingers as the following lines were peeked: ' After experiencing a twenty-two inch upshoot several -months ago, Speck Dowell replaced Charles Atlas as the World's Most Perfectly Developed Man. Among those taking Speck's muscle course is Coach Hap Miller. They live to dye and dye to live. Yes, that's JoAnn Biddenstadt and MarScine Roche who have made a fortune in Hollywood testing the new hair dyes for the stars. The current hair color is a fuchsia and yellow plaid--a striking combination. America's champion shot putter is Bernice Elllenberg. Ed Buckney is really on the ball -out in Oregon. He mana-ges the No-Par golf course. It was on this course that Floiyd Wyrick made eleven consecutive holes-in-one to win the 1952 American Closed golf tournament. Montgomery Ward catal-og has 'become a best seller since Jewel Henson and Wille-tta Smith became that firm's chief models. Sometimes they model coats and sweaters, other times--well--it doesnft am-ount to much. I I Phil. Myers has become a big gun in the munitions business. iAfter experimenting with chalk and paper shells during his senior year Phil shot into the bigtime by manufacturing a shell made of copper-pl-ated irium. Dick Rosa is a big wheel in the washing machine industry. He sells a- machine that washes clothes, dishes, floors. walls, bakes bread, changes diapers, and can be made into a spare bed room. Dick is doing quite well. Leonard Bryant is a big monkey wrench in F0rd's Detroit auto works. i The first woman judge of the U. S. Supreme Court is Barbara Howard. She has hand-led th-e international situation very well in th-at she has instigated only three minor wars a-nd has caused iniiation of the Lazurk, Hottentot fifteen cent piece. Margaret Ege has devised a sure-fire plan for saving money. She suggests burning all due bills at the end of each month and banking the money you would have used to pay them. Bette McVey always like-d to do things in a 'big way, like preparing a week's assignments all at -once. So it was no surprise when we heard that Bette, who thought the ideal family size was six, had recently been blessed with quadruplets. The biggest department store in the world, Goldiblatt-BarrfField-Younker and Co. hired nary a one of the grads. The stinkers! Everyone is agog at Clarence Skog who is a big cog in the nog and grog business out at Soganbog. Maine. Helen McFerson has founded the McFerson School of Language and has on her foreign language staff Dorothy Londrie, who has been doing missionary work in Brooklyn, and Delores Sale, former ambassador to East Transylvania-. Earl Depew, public relations man for Green House Dairy, says Mool to all cows he sees. , , gil g TW ENTY- FOUR m.n..l.l....i.. ...,-,,A,,-a. . -- - hi! ' ii
