P I 'I943 MEMOIRS I x Senior Class Prophecy lt is sometimes astonishing, the things one finds between the covers of Webster's Giant Unabridged Dictionary. One day while looking aimlessly through the pages devoted to American slang, I ran across this:- I'll knock you into the middle of next week! Immediately I decided to take this slanguaged expression literally, and, with the use of some shrewd mathematical calculating, I came to the conclusion that if hit hard enough, I could be knocked into the middle of 1953. Of course, it would take a terrific blow to accomplish this experimental feat, but I knew just the man who could do it. After several written communications, I finally succeeded in getting the Brown Bomber to visit me. joe, being a fine soldier as well as a cordial gentleman, did not at first want to deliver the vigorous punchg but, after explaining how anxious I was to gaze into the future, he consented. I will not say that the blow didn't hurt, for it did. But in a moment I found myself floating through a universe of turbid blackness, speckled here and there with luminous stars, shooting comets, and whirling meteors .... It was an unforgettable journey. I picked myself off the sidewalk, and, after a quick glance around, discovered that things had really changed. Being in front of Sandt's Drug Store, I decided to go in and check up on the year. Much to my astonishment, I noticed that Donald Bieler was still a soda jerk. I learned that Donald had once owned half interest in the pharmacy, but one day while mixing a lemon phosphate he innocently got the lemon bottle mixed up with a bottle of Sloan's Liniment. The result was startling. The surprised purchaser, Thomas Carey, who had just left his post as traffic cop, accused D. B. of deliberately giving him an internal hot- loot. After finding out that I was in the year 1953, I began a trip through the bustling city of Pen Argyl. As I neared the traffic light, I was surprised to see a young man backing slow- ly away from the First National Bank, an ugly-looking automatic in his hand. Looking closer, I saw that it was Thomas Cesare. Aside of him, gun moll Nona Parsons carried two large bales of money. I watched in utter amazement as the two sped away in a black Packard. I entered the bank for the purpose of learn- ing how much money had been stolen. Behind the teller's sign sat Dwayne Honey: he wore an expression of absolute unconcern. When 1 inquired about the robbery, I was told that the two held tip the bank every week, just for excitement. They always returned the funds before closing hours. As I wandered down Robinson Avenue, I noticed a tired looking chap search- ing through his pockets. It was Douglas Harding, now a successful butcher. Alongside my old friend was a tall box. On the sides were printed these words- 'Give to the mentally alflictedf the witless ones being Adolf Hitler, Benito Mus- solini, and Emperor Hirohito. This charity drive was sponsored by those two likable political characters, Steven Krouch and john Tockash. james Gheller's newspaper stand was my next stop, and, since the newspaper tells the source of many happenings, I bought one. On the very front page was a picture of World War I1 hero, jack Williams. It seems that jack, some seven years ago, flew an unmilitarized Piper Cub over the Sea of japan and sank the entire Imperial Fleet with a fifty pound demolition bomb. Now he was going to visit his home town, accompanied by Congressman Sheldon Palmer, Secretary of THIIITY 4'-K4
