Foretellings ln The Year 2000 A. D. Oh stars! Stars of the heavens. I, Zora, the queen of the gypsies, plead with thee. On this night of May 22, 2001, reveal to me each memb'r of the graduating class of 1941, from Madison High School. Prove 'to me their success. Reveal sgme incident in each of their lives that will verify to me that they have well planned their careers. Stars of the heavens, reveal! Ah yes! I can see the names appear! The letters in the firstname are J-a-c-k, Jack Amos, and after his name, I see him as a successful New York banker. And then I see Eleanor Au, a matron in the Old People's Home. The names are clearer now. They appear like this: Ethel Backensto, who has been a physical education director, is living in a small apart- ment in Chicago. Helen Barth has proved herself as a successful house- wife. Clifford Bemiller is a retired gentleman from the real estate busi- ness. Dale Berry is spending his later days in life cruising in the South Seas with the money he has earned as a movie actor. His sister, Lois Berry is - but wait -, her present life is too dim. I can see, though, that she has been a stewardess on a Transatlantic Airline. The res- ent life of Richard, Bittinger algo is not visible but he has been an em- ployee in a physics lab. Ralph Bowman is working on a rapid assembl line. Now, I see Gertrude Brightbill standing before a group of children. She is a kinder- garten teacher. The names are appearing more quickly now.

In a fashion shop in Paris, I see Eleano-r Harrison, designing dresses. One of her best-designed gowns was worn by Margaret Hawks for her second marriage. And now in the ofiice of the F. B. I., I can see the name of Bob Heichel on the list of leading detectives. In the Detroit probate court, Walter Henry is pleading a case. Olive Jean Hughes is a retired pianist for WLW.

Honor To Them To Whom Honor ls Due This year honor has been bestowed upon Helen Getz and Olive Jean Hughes as valedictorian and salutatorian, respectively. Although this honor is based only on scholastic standing, these girls have both been examples of good leaders and followers during their four years in high school. It is only by hard work and industrious study that this goal may be attained, and the senior class of 1941, as well as the faculty, wishes to extend its congratulations to these students. May these girls be successful in accomplishing their lives' aims as they have been in their school days. Page F lfteen
