Class Prophecy del VALLE BODY WORKS We Make Everything Hollywood and Vine Hollywood, California Alumni Secretary, Lakeside School Seattle, Washington Dear Sir: ln reply to your letter of the fourteenth, requesting the whereabouts of members of the class of ,49, I submit the following account based on various sources, including material from the Adjutant General's office in the Pentagon: Pfc. R. G. Rotton has served four years as a laboratory assistant at Fort Lewis. His specialty is blood tests. Pvt. Paul Mountcastle has been detained six years at the draft center without assignment. His various aptitudes have so puzzled the classification specialists that they have been unable to agree on a category. C. R. O. Harold Alldred has earned his red hash marks as third assistant line coach ut Camp Peroxide Pre-Flight. T. 5 Warner Scheyer by reason of his medical training spent the first five years of army life at a reception center making urinanalysis. Lt. tj. g.J Willis Brown, who was put in charge of a four-masted cutter by reason of his small- boat experience, is, now reported missing on Lake Washington. Red Cross worker John Anderson, declared 4-F, was sent by the army to disseminate Ameri- can culture to the native population of the Solomon islands. Cpl. C. H. Stewart, ballistic expert of the class, looked forward to a similar career in the army. He was assigned to the band, apparently because he is tone deaf. Pvt. Poe Fratt is Colonel Benson's jeep driver while Benson is a liaison officer with the British on the upper Nile. Fratt's main duty is retrieving his commanding officer from his fre- quent safaris into Ethiopia. Jim Gravely by some quirk of army classification is in G-2 under the personal command of Lt. Gen. C. R. James. Pft. Bill Bell, who earned his chevrons after serving in the infantry for eleven years, was finally promoted and given the responsibility of serving as Lt. Cravely's orderly. Pfc. Ronald Rickles rose through the ranks and sweated out the war as a teletype operator in the Pentagon. He was attached to a W. A. C. S. R. John Cronkhite has gained recognition as a ahead specialist, his techniques have been widely copied. Col. Fred Guenther now heads the mathematics department at West Point and, by a strange coincidence, Comdr. Dan Creveling serves in the same capacity at Annapolis. Lt. Don Etherington first applied to the air corps because he liked the looks of their uniform but was assigned to plain clothes intelligence work. Cpl. Tom Symons, who had no particular desire to be G. I., found himself in the M. P.'s, and was soon noted for the whitest belt and shiniest shoes. Sgt. John Vanderspek was particularly pleased with his job in the M. P.'s and was noted for picking up more speeders than any other patrolman. This happy career came to an abrupt end when he arrested Brig. Cen. Edward Brady, youngest general in the air corps. Vanderspek was quickly assigned to overseas duty. ff Mess Sgt. R. Forgey has become a big man in the army, weight 312 pounds. He is known for the zeal with which he attacks his work. Extsrogert Jerry Petram escaped military service through his work as an entertainer with the U. . . V ,A Bill Jensen spent the war in the safest place in the United States, Fort Leavenworth, as a result of selling dogfish hash to the U. S. army. gs, G. Pritchard rose not only to influence but affluence as the sergeant in charge of the Fort Lewis P. X. until his books were examined too closely by the Bureau of the Budget. He is now 4 Jensen's cellmate and the two while away many hours talking over old times. . Lt. Jack Bate, C-2, was betrayed by a beautiful Russian girl in whom he had complete confi- dence. She used him and left him on the Nile. Yardbird X. L. Anthony, because of past experience at Lakeside, is now digging latrines on J' QE the Rock of Gibral'ar. g 25 Major Zoffel, B. S., M. S., Ph. D., reported that he and his assistant, Capt. C. Logan, B. S., 3 ' M. S., have been making progress on radiant energy. 1' 2 Capt. R. L. Rodbury entered the navy as a plebe from R. P. I. After fifteen years he reap- Qt i. 5 M 2 peared as a four-striper. No one can explain it, but apparently his responses were uniformly filllg X corrrect. Capt. Walt Bush when last heard from was spreading enlightenment and joy among the upper Amazonians, whom he classified as similar in mores to Portlanders. 1 Yours very truly, bf, fi Q Big Bore del Valle, ss E Class Secretary. is ' Q74 ' - -- .E 12

Charles Stewart Charles Stewart entered Lakeside two years ago from Ellensburg -a fact that no one was ever allowed to forget. He had a wide vari- ety of activities, and managed to get in a few hunting trips when he was not busy getting 4LA,s,'. He was a two-year letterman on the foot- ball team, and the star center for the Bw Brownell basketball team. Because of his popularity and ability he was elected student body president and secretary of the dorm council. He was a reporter for the Tatler and co-editor of this ycar's Numidiau. J olm Vanderspek John Vanderspek was Lakeside's Model A fanatic. The morning arrival of his 'thot rodw fwhen it was runningj always drew atten- tion. Later in the year, he built an A-V8 which was outstanding. 'gSpec, a scientist at heart, did his best work in physics and chem- istry. He was one of the school's most promising devotees of the scientific method. The Tatleris neat organization was the result of his skill, and the student body public address system wouldnit have run without him. Bob Zoffel was last in the class roll call, but certainly not the least of its members. His laugh first echoed across the campus as a junior, but Bob earned real recognition as an athlete. His pitching sparked the baseball team for two years. A dependable Lion back in foot- ball season, he starred for the Whitcolllbs in club basketball. In spite of his loyalty to West Seattle, Bob was active in all school affairs. He was a member of the Senate, secretary of the Whitcombs, and co-chairman of the Shipwreck dance, one of the most successful in recent years. 11

To the juniors we relinquish the several privileges generally accorded the seniors, together with the right to use Cordie Hamilton's office and personal belongings at any time. We also bequeath them four years of accumulated prestige which we will not be using next year. To the sophomores we leave the right to be stubborn and obstinate, to have a negative atti- tude and to accomplish in any way the complete disruption of school life. ' To the freshmen we bequeath a quantity of second-rate telescopes so that with sufficient effort they will be able to look up to the seniors. Chuck Stewart wills to the school the half-bale of hayseed he has succeeded in combing out of his hair, as well as'a ten-year subscription to the Ellensburg Police Gazette, published by the Ellensburg Chamber of Commerce. Bill Bell wills his illuminating smile, the pride of the dormitory, to Art Harms. Fred Guenther wills his four-stripe white letter sweater to Steve Bannick with the stipula- tion that the four state champ emblems and the letter that glows in the dark be returned. Xenophon Lusby Anthony bequeaths his middle name to Harlan Nathaniel Vale and offers to pay him six dollars if he will take it. Art Morgenstern wills himself to Northwestern University and leaves 51 per cent of the stock in his fertilizer business to Rolly France. Bob Zoffel directs that a standing order be left with Mr. Logan for Bob's soon-to-be-published book, entitled A Year With Logan. or I Suffered for Science. Ed Brady leaves his Charles Atlas ubicep builders to Jim Bailey. An anonymous senior wills his head to the physics lab for use in total vacuum experiments. Warner Scheyer bequeaths his prowess and style on the basketball floor to Dexter. Ronald Rickles, upon due consideration, wills his Bible, personally autographed by Brother Ralph, to Mr. Marx. Harold Alldred bequeaths his place on the north end of the senior bench and his private ashtray to Jerry Donovan. John Cronkhite leaves his very best pair of alligator-skin elevators to Pete Bishop. Dick Rodbury and Merritt Benson regretfully leave the Tatler office with this year's improve- ments-overstuffed chairs, a television set and a built-in bar. Don Etherington leaves his undisputed record of seven minutes, three and three-quarter sec- onds between Lakeside and Laurelhurst to Bruce Bordeaux. Don Creveling secretly wills his plans to capture the dorm and establish a dictatorship to Wiswall. Cal Dickenson wills his fund of information about George Santayanna to Mr. Adams for the edification of future philosophy classes. The math class also wills to Mr. Hendricks land Mr. Loganl one Cyclatomic Astronomical Expander so that they can stretch the days sufficiently to allow Mr. Lambert to teach all his Senior Math on weekdays only. Poe Fratt wills his smoothness with the opposite sex, together with three broken-hearted Bush girls, to Pete Heussy. To Mr. Logan the chem class leaves three vats of trichlorobenzanastic acid, the result of using green hops in an extra-curricular experiment. This fluid is guaranteed to make an impres- sion on the toughest substance known to man, with the possible exception of a chem student's cranium. At the behest of Fred Boldt, John Vanderspek and Juan de Valle will the fantastic collec- tion of junk which has dropped off their hot rods during the last year to Commissar Smallotov so that he will be able to whip the buses in shape for throttle-jockeys Hamilton and Johnson. It is hoped that with the addition of Willfield carburetors and straight pipes Number Nine will not have to wheeze out its life trying to climb the Twenty-third Avenue hill in low gear. 13 ,
