SENIOR PROPHECY 1 955 The world has gone through a lot of changes, but holidays are still remembered. The Fourth of July is here again signifying Independence — for how long? An impres- sing display of fire works is being held. The men who are preparing the display appear on the field, lighting another exhibition, and as it bursts into flame it is a blazing American flag. I stare at the brilliant colors and as the flames die down and the ashes crumble I see one by one my classmates emerge from the smoking embers. In the distance I see a great city and in flashing lights is that world-known newspaper. The Daily Snooper, owned and operated by BOB STUMP of my old class. Mr. Stump ' s right-hand assisant is that key-hole peeper. JEANNE MISHLER. She always was a whiz on stories — most any kind ! I see also a busy corner and standing in the midst of the traffic is none other than SERGEANT YARIAN waving his billy club at intervals. At last he can exercise his love of fighting, in the name of the law. Glancing over to another smoldering ember. I see a ladder and at the top stands a hand- some, muscular fellow driving nails into a W. P. A. project. I recognize this fellow to be HARRY MIDDLETON. Poor fellow, he seems to be having a terrible time supporting his wife, PEG SEGHRIST and their three lit- tle West Pointers. Gazing at the smoke curling skyward I see a Broadway theater, and featured this evening is that glamorous CAROLYN GENTZHORN in the stage version of ' ' Seven Sins. Ah ! at last she has them numbered. Walking on down the lighted street I come to the entrance of the Metropolitan Opera. Some inside force pushes me into the house, and there on the stage, flooded with footlights. I behold swing- ing. Carmen ' s ANNIE STUCKMAN. I hear that tonight is her last performance until she ties the knot with some Indiana playboy. Looking off to the left at a dying ash. I see a large broadcasting station, and at the microphone is JOHN DOYLE. He ' s sponsor- ing the Missing Heirs program now. I al- ways did think John would find something missing. Glancing over to a burning ember I see a dapper dressed fellow leaving M. G. M. Goodness! It ' s TOM WEGMILLER. I hear he has a body-guard to protect him from the women, or is it to protect the women from him? Turning my gaze to another crumbling ash I see the Rocky Mountains, and winding its way along a narrow path is a pack team, and leading the mules is a tall, muscular fellow. Why. its LaMAR METZLER. I always did hear the Colorado climate did things for a person and its certainly stretched Metz. Changing my gaze to another ember I see a carnival, and immediately my eyes are fas- tened on a poster displaying a picture of a lion tamer. I recognize the fellow as BILL MUNTZ. Poor lions, if Bill is half as mean with them as he was with Mr. Foulke in Chemistry. The strong man with the carnival proves to be FRED STRANG, and it is no wonder; he was musclebound in 41. Over at the baseball pitching stand I see BILL STRAUSS. It s somewhat the same job Bill had in school, only instead of bowling pins, he is setting up milk bottles. Looking over to a smoking heap of ashes I see a well-known night club, and upon enter- ing I notice the hat-check girl is ETHEL GOULD. Ethel did have a strange aptitude for checking and doubly so. I recognize some chorines in the dance routine. There is HELEN MOORE. MAXINE MOYER. (to think that they are still together after all these years) and BETTY MILLER. The word is going around that all three have million- aire playboys on the string. Nice going girls. The proprietor is none other than AMOS SHEETS, and I thought he would be a minis- ter! Mr. Sheets has a specialty with his regular show this evening. It is the SE- GHRIST SISTERS doing a song and dance Twenty
