CLASS PROPHECY It was the day that all my high school connections were .severed. I returned home very tired and weary. As I had not been able to sleep for some time I decided to take a large dose of sleeping powder that I found in the medicine chest. I soon became very sleepy .and lay down -upon my bed. Presently, I felt myself sinking into a state of unconsciousness and everything around me became all darkness. In my state of unconsciousness I seemed to see a large town. As I walked down one of the streets, the first person I meet was Charlene Exline, an old schoolmate of mine. I demanded to know what all my classmates were doingg this is what she told me: Charlene, herself, had invented an excellent new Hour for dog biscuits. The Exline Flour Mills .are located in Borneo. Lucille Kirk, is the first ?eaker of the house. She is very partial to Guam, as her most recent wooer, Clifford each, is a representative from that territory. ' Carl Kline, is preparing for trip to the South Seas with a cargo of furs. It's shameful, he exclaimed, how the United States has neglected thwe people. Perhaps they are freezing, never having had the necessary warm clothing. Poor Carl! Maybe he'll learn. Dorth.a Johnson has .advertised in the Ohio City Screwdriver and offered .a young fortune for a husband. A Duke or a Count preferred. Dick Prior has been recognized as ia rising young artist. He was not appreciated in the United States and so went to Rome where he is perfecting Leonardo Da Vinci's paintings. By this time Ch.arlene's knowledge was exhausted and her feet tired, so we entered a soda salon. To my surprise Mary Woods was the operator with Emma Lou Wiseman and Ethel Neate as her waitresses. They served only sodas th.at harmonized with the color of their finger nails. I asked them about many other classmates. They said that Vivian Roller and Wayne Kline had starring roles in the Broadway success, What Devil May Care , or What the Devil Do I Care . They were not sure of the title. They also said that the world famous chemist in the United States, Professor Ned Dull, had created a. new style' doughnut without the usual hole, thus saving time eating around it. While we were eating we were surprised to hear announced over the r.adio in a musical program broadcasted from Berlin, Germany, a vocal solo by Mary Louise Blossom, who was the Prima Donna of the German Opera, and selections by her accompanist, the world-famous pianist, Jestine Jo.hnson. AS we swit-ched the dial from a distant port to home, we caught the strains of Nobody's Baby . Following their rendition of -the song, they were .announced to be Bill Agler, Darrell Spahr, and Max Miller, who formed the Sour Singersn, a world famous triog each one thinks the other two c'a.n't sing. Perhaps ,all three are right. We left Mary and her waitresses and went on the street again, Charlene continued telling me of some of the other classmates. She said that Charlie Woods had left recently for Africa to ,hunt for big or little game. Preferably little and blonde. Isabel Harrison, after perfecting herself in voice, dramatics and on the clarinet. has lost her health and so has decided to enter the matrimonial state with Von Prichard, who has been bothering her for years. While walking dow-n the street, we neared a newspaper boy who thrust a paper into my hand. On the first page was a. big pi-cture of Elouise -Chilcote, a blonde beauty, who was sueling Doyt Stump, her producer, for embezzlement. Aaron Sutton, New York's most famous lawyer, was the attorney in the case. Glancing through the paper, we saw that Kenneth Arn has wasted ,away ten good years of his life. What is the matter??? It appears Luetta Brubaker, his wife, .had a black and white -checked coat. Kenny has not yet decided whether it's white with black checks or black with white checks. We hope he learns soon, for this is the first thing he .hasn't figured out. Glancing up from our paper, a familiar figure, whom we recognized to be Helen Hoghe, buzzed ,around the corner with a super-duper-duper deluxe, streamlined, torpedo baby buggy. Sitting sedately on cushioned pillows were her prize pekinese dogs, which she said ,ate their Exline Dog Biscuits daily. Having lear.ned something of my classmates future, I felt th.at my time in dreaming had been spent worthwhile. I was very happy to learn that all my classmates will be so prosperous in the coming years. MARGIE STAHL.

HERBERT WISE SPONSOR Lucille Kirk - President Ned Dull - Vice President Margaret Stahl - Secretary Elouise Chilcoite - Treasurer Vivian Roller News Reporter FACING THE OPEN RCAD During the last four years While thousands oi young people in Europe have been adopting various destructive methods of Warfare forced upon them by their totalitarian governments, We, the youth of the United States have been left free to pursue in a democracy any creative line of endeavor we Wish. Qur first participation in governmental affairs, the main element of a democracy, began when We were given the opportunity of choosing our class officers. Our dramatic achievement of our junior year was Dotty and DafTy g in our senior year, Bolts and Nuts . Another ideal of a .democracy is the right to happiness. Last year We gave the graduating class a very unusual J unior-Senior Banquet, representing the Wi.de open spaces of the Western states. After entertaining the senior class last year, we were delightfully surprised by the junior class, who on May 9, royally entertained us at the J unior-Senior Prom. Thank you, J uniorsl Dear Ohio City-Liberty High School, We bid you a last farewell and turn our faces to The Open Road .
