HICUIIZDUS L14-4-L-I-L 44-LA. SENIOR PROPHECY Thelma found a kitty cat. She heard it say meow, but she thought it said, Oh, Maw! And so she took it in her home. Meow followed meow, until today Miss Moore has the largest retreat in the United States for poor defense- less kitties. Margie and Paulita, in the remote days of their high school life, were forced to walk home from an automobile ride in the country. As a result, they admin- :stered unto each other a solemn oath that they would never marry. Koleta has for years managed Xill's Drug Store, but, lo, it couldn't hold her. For she is now the business manager and star trombone player of the Gsborn Dance Orchestra. Gene Swan is happily married to a neat little brown-eyed fiapper, and together they are living on a small farm in the foothills of the Mojave desert, where they are raising earthworms and frogs for the biology department of the Kern County High S: hools. Earl Higginbotham, President of the student body of McFarland High School in 1933, has disgraced his class by beipg the owner of the largest brewery and gambling house in the lfnited States, located at Famosa. He tells us that after he has succeeded in taking all the people's money he will declare himself President of the United States. :Xt the request of his fiancee, George Alexander spent many years culti- vating a natural wave-and then she didn't like it. He gave up the idea of marrying a movie actress and has taken up professional football as a life career. Are you disappointed in love? Have you any matrimonial difficulties? lf you have, write to Mr. Ralph Shick in his second-story office in the League of Nations Building, Geneva. Mr. Shick a specialist in the art of mending broken hearts. Clarence will make some girl a lite husband, said his mother, but he will never set the world on tire. Imagine her disappointment. Today Dr. Robinson, the successor to Dr. Albert Einstein, addressed a learned assembly in Ava, Missouri, on his famous theory. After three hours of lecturing he was horrified to find both of his listeners wrapped in peaceful slumber. In 1033 Glen Crockett's picture appeared in the McFarland High School annual. The annual came to Hollywood and landed right in the studio of Cecil De Mille. Crockett is a movie actor and at present is illuminating the lives of scores of American girls and women with his irresistable red hair. After vainly trying to decide between his two great loves, George Perry comes to the conclusion that women are not worth the worry and is living his life in seclusion at a Benedictine cloister in the Swiss Alps. 1401

SENIOR PROPHECY tContinuedl Frank Boardman has turned over a new leaf. No cards, no dances, and no drinks-for Frank is now the president of the Young Men's Temperance Union. And has be a temper! You should have heard him when that old motorcycle wouldn't start. At the conclusion of twenty years of arduous love making VVilbur at last won out, and Mary Thompson consented to become his life partner for better or for worse. Her diversion now at odd moments when she is not caring for the children consists of writing popular songs which XVilbur puts over to the general public with his mellow baritone voice. Eugene Allen and his wife, who weighs 875 pounds and is six feet tall, have entered the Al Barnes circus. VVe wish them success and hope that his dear wife will never have the ill luck of falling on him accidentally-or that Eugene will never quarrel with her. lVhen Glenn Erath left McFarland High, folks said, Here we have a man of the soil. They had a man, but not of the soil, for Glenn has traveled to the nearest and farthest corners of Africa and is known as the great international evangelist. Lawerence Huddleston, who for years tried to apply the principle of winter hibernation, has finally given up the idea and is now farming a 2000 acre ranch in Arvin. There he is raising everything from Hsh eggs to tumble weeds. Florence Hubbard came to McFarland High in her senior year. Wie all knew she was more than graceful, but never did her classmates dream that some day she would be of such fame as Florence has attained. Everybody knows the heart-snatcher of the Broadway Follies. Do any of you remember VValdo, who was so bright in all his studies? XVell, that boy wasn't bright for nothing. Now he is Professor of languages at the bniversity of California. lt does Miss Lourenzo's heart good to see one of her students go so far. XYhat changes time has brought to our tall, handsome Joe Roberts! Xllhile in high school he could hardly open his mouth wide enough to recite his lessons- Now he is U. S. Senator from Texas, with the reputation of being the most determined and the longest-winded politician in the United States. The senior class is proud to say that among the various ones we have a noted inventor and salesman. Wloodrow Vfiimberley is selling Comfort Special, in the form of colored capsules. Dissolve a capsule of Comfort Special in your bath water and for a whole week no mosquitos or other insects will bother you. Incidentally, it is effective against all undesirables, women included, according to Woodrow. And won't you be surprised to hear about Osie Turner? Everybody expected him to be a lawyer, or something of that nature. VVell, sir, he became so popular with the girls that he has established himself in the business of rejuvenating worried faces. He is in the height of his glory, with his name in the XVho's Vlfho and his pockets full of lucre. -41--
