Omer Patterson, Jr., '36 Page Nineteen Class Prophecy Virginia Martin WAS walking down Main Street in Dayton feeling pretty lonely, because it was just after graduation and I was really missing school and all my school friends. I happened to be passing a dark-looking building which had a sign that read Lady Carita---Crystal Gazing---S1.00. I had always wanted to go to a fortune teller of some sort and this seemed to be a good opportunity, so I went into the mysterious-looking place. A small gypsy woman sitting at a table on which there was a crystal said, Whata you wanna know? I tella all about the future, the past, the present. I realized I had had no particular question in mind, however, I said immediately, What will my classmates be doing fifteen years from now? Lady Carita answered, I justa looka in de creestal and seea a peecture of everything you wanta. I shall pass on to you what Lady Carita told me she saw in her crystal, though I shall translate it into English without her accent. Paul Geiger, mightier than the mighty Barnum, is breaking up winter quarters in Florida. As the main attraction of his circus this year he is billing the Wonder Lady fDoris Steinhilberj, the Girl on the Flying Trapeze CHelen Boylanj, and the Lion Tamress flrene Marshallj. Also in Florida are the York brothers, Don and Kenneth, who are in the semi-finals of the national golf tournament. The scene in the crystal changes to the large metropolis of New York where Richard Hill and Virginia Oblinger recently made their Metropolitan Opera debut in Verdi's 'Aida'. Bob Gates, Broadway producer, and his protege, Kathryn Miller, also are making names for themselves in the theatrical world. Helen Hemm, whose great-aunt left her several million dollars about two years ago, is leading the women of the world as best-dressed woman. Laura Louise Wagner's hands are being used as models in some of our better magazines. They have recently been advertising Shine-On Finger Nail Polish. Also recognized has been Cleo Terry's smile advertising Clean-Easy Tooth Powder. Marie Benkert, an outstanding social worker, is among the leaders in slum clearance in New York. Earl Mac- Keller, who is with the New York Giants, is an example of small town boy making good. Next I see Chicago in my crystal, continued Lady Carita. The American beauticians are holding a conven- tion there this week. New types of coiffures, created by John Goldsborough, are being modeled by Doris Kruse for the blondes, Alice Klauer, redheads, and Eleanor Caserta, brunettes. Also present at the convention are Bette Soliday and Marian Barrett, recognized authorities on beauty culture. Bettie Baumgartner is a permanent resident of Chicago, where she draws illustrations for magazine stories. After a moment of silence, Lady Carita continued, this time Detroit being the setting. That peculiar building in Detroit which looks something like a reproduction of the Leaning Tower of Pisa, is the work of Bill Harris, the none too famous architect. lim Dawson, who is becoming well known on the tennis courts, resides in Detroit. Robert Woods is playing basketball with a professional team in the automobile capital. He is so small the players do not see him zip by with the ball. Marilyn Efhnger, who has followed out her high school wishes, is now a supervisor at the Detroit General Hospital. Beatrice Polasky is a nurse in the same hospital. Lady Carita's crystal then showed Piqua with some very interesting scenes. Paul Patterson is the head of the 'Thrill for a Dime' taxi company, and, by the way, his taxis are Fords from the Libbee and Libbee Company. :iii the new modern high school in Piqua are Franklin Bridges, public speaking, Betty Meier, Spanish, and luanith Laztham, physical education. Howard Valentine is the owner of a string of gas stations which run from coast to coast, however, he is still in his home town. Delbert Cornelius is in the Grab Your Own grocery business here. Richard Dorman is a sheet metal worker, also in Piqua. Tom Cuff owns a real estate business, his efficient secretary and oflice manager being Aileen Gillem. Martha Hill and Norma Foust have a very clever dress shop down town, the attractive windows of which are decorated by Kathryn Motter. Raymond Ford has worked himself up to district manager of the A and I fArctic and Indianj stores here. Loren Pitsenbarger is an expert auto mechanic and Dale Westfall is a leading aeronautical engineer. Robert Lukens, the poet, who still lives in Piqua, was listed in 'Who's Who' this year. Helen Cromes takes his dictation. ' Roger Stein, the new owner of the Piqua Call, has Bill Becker and Neil Bomhard working as reporters. You can see Bill scurrying about with his camera, taking pictures of everything from dog and cat fights to street brawls. Following these views in Piqua, Lady Carita continued with scenes from towns near Piqua. L'Charles Schuesselin, who has increased the size of his meat plant, is still situated in Sidney. Of course, Kenny Petry is always around and somethimes you can find him fighting the bulls in their pens. Charles Penrod is their traveling salesman, and Tom Smith is the manager of the meat cutting department. Some of the housewives of Miami County have organized a society to fight the price of dish-washers, which is Page Twenty very, very high. Among the members of this society are the former Beatrice Ellerman, Margaret Winkler, Martha LaChat, and Lillian Francony. Shannon O'Brian is president of Fletcher Tech, in that big metropolis a few miles east of Piqua. Fletcher used to be quite a joke in Piqua, but due to the television plant which has been established there, it is now a thriving city of 50,000 inhabitants. Mary Schrader and Dorothy DeWeese are blues singers for Bill Schneyer, director of the television concern, who lists them as one of his 'sister' acts. Glenn Badertscher and Harold Marrs are the joint owners of the new Grain Elevator in Miami County. Betty McMaken is keeping their books. Martha Nicodemus is one of the governesses at the Knoop's Children Home, from all reports a favorite. Elva Schmidlapp is on the board for this Home. ' Mildred Goins is the dietician at Wilberforce college in Xenia, and Margaret Hurd is a teacher in Dunbar High School, where Evelyn Sawyer is the girls' athletic director. Lady Carita paused, saying, The crystal is not clear. But after we had anxiously waited the crystal showed scenes from abroad. Carlton Dickensheets is the Tokyo correspondent for the Wirephoto of the New York Times. He has been exiled from some countries for taking too many pictures. Richard johnson is the athletic adviser for the Olympic teams, at present stationed in Paris, France. Betty Morrow, Olympic Swimming and Diving champion, who was scheduled to swim the Hellespont next week, has suddenly disappeared. William Speelman is touring Europe on a bicycle. The last time he was seen he was crossing the Alps. Barbara Williamson is a missionary doctor in the wilds of Africa and is now among a tribe of head-hunters. Helen Isensee has started an etiquette school in the Arctic in which Glen Morrow is teaching the Eskimos to change their clothes more than twice a year, while Edith Foster is'teaching them to have a warmer feeling so that they can make friends easier. Mary McMaster has translated the old classic. Dale Carnegie's 'How to Win Friends and Influence People,' for these Eskimos. ' And now, back to America. jane Denman is the active Secretary of State at Washington, and Miriam Long is reported to have been filibustering in the Senate. Also in Washington is john Hines, Supreme Court stenographer, taking down shorthand faster than the judges can talk. james Body, the little man with big ideas, is Secretary of Agriculture. We turn to Cincinnati, the city of radio. Bill Folkerth, the Piqua Maestro, and his lads broadcast weekly over WLW. Among the members of his famous orchestra are Don Trostle, known for his clarinet playing, and Shelburn Hill, who with his drums has made that old favorite of fifteen years ago, the 'Dipsey Doodle,' a new hit. Betty Brown- ing, the vocalist with this orchestra, is known as the LLady of Song'. Alex Ellerman is master of ceremonies for this nationally known program. An attempt was made on the life of Dick Hydeman, comedian, for telling some terrible puns last week. And by the way, the sponsor is none other than john Zollinger, who is doing very well as a pickle manufacturer. 'Kjessica Eleyet is also in the field of radio, with a program of her own. Her general adviser and manager is Evelyn Epperly. The Curtner brothers are announcers for this same station. Carl Wack is a leading radio technician at WLW. Nancy Bohlander is working as a reporter on the Cincinnati Times-Star. In this same paper the 'Aid to the Broken-Hearted' column is written by Norman Van De Grift. It has taken the place of the Betty Fairfax column. Ralph Schilling is drawing cartoons of the outstanding people of the day for the 'Star'. The crystal next showed that a few graduates of '38 were in Columbus. Norman Bryan, president of Ohio State University, has just published a modern encyclopedaea. Elwood Rose is teaching pyschology at Ohio State. Mary Campling and Lois Minton are leaders of Ohio State 4-H Club work, with headquarters in Columbus. Lady Carita then exclaimed that she saw Hollywood in her crystal. jane Cromer's personality, beauty, and talent have led her to the top in the movies. She is like the Ginger Rogers of sixteen years ago. The new picture just released from Hollywood, Men Prefer Brunettes is making quite a hit. The star of the picture is Rosemary Black, who fifteen years ago was said to have been an exact double for Sonja Heineg the only difference was that Sonja could skate. Her secretary and push about is none other than Mary Kiefer. By the way, Vesta Loffer wrote the script for this picture. On the set you will find john Hollis, a stage manager who is very popular with the actresses. Rollo Dunkle, owner of the famous Dunkle News Corporation, can be seen in all the big 'night spots. Also in Hollywood is Melbournejacquemin, who runs a very exclusive men's clothing StOr6. He specializes in bright-colored clothing. , jean jessup's salon is attracting many stars. Among her beauty advisers and attendents are Eunice McQueen, Evelyn Walters, and Irene Pollard. The scenes in my crystal have changed again, this time to Missouri, said Lady Carita. jean Hunter has be- come wealthy and well known with her 'Get Thin Quick' school. She even has a patent on her method, which guar- antees sure reducing. Also in Missouri are jim Campbell and Kenny Smith, who are coaches of rival football teams. Both teams have been noticed by famous sportsmen. The crystal went blank, and Lady Carita said, That ees all, my creestal shows you no mora de peectures. I walked out of this mysterious room feeling not nearly so lonely and much better about my graduation. Page Twenty-one Twenty Years Ago Robert Lukens Shake hands, old fellow, once again. God bless you! How the years have flown Since you and I were highschool mates, lmbued with knowledge all our own! The seniors' dignity we wore And cared no whit for things below. We knew it all and rather more For that was twenty years ago. Oh, well! Life's gold is mainly gilt And fancy fabrics, sorry rags, For all the castles that we built Are standing still on Spanish crags. But let's forget Fate's cruel frown And call to mind those days so great, When we were someone of renown, The senior class of '38. The dear old schoolhouse, on the square, Has grown and altered more and more, But students still will do and dare The pranks that we enjoyed of yore. But- ghostly forms of dreaded tests, Why come ye here to haunt me so? In days gone by, ye were my pests, But that was twenty years ago. A different system's used, l've heard, Gne subject's all one has to take, Exams, a long forgotten word, And homework's very out of date. They've forty teachers, maybe more, To tell the truth, I do not know. There used to be six and a score But that was twenty years ago. The dear Piquonian has outgrown The little sheets of former times And other fingers than our own Are writing roasts and weaving rhymes, The Piqua Call page, so well known, Has vanished many years ago, They've now a paper all their own, Theylve travelled far, it goes to show. Our choir has travelled through the states, And toured Europe, o'er and o'er, Directed still by Mr. Gates And winning laurels by the score. Before crowned heads they sang a hymn, It pleased King George, so news relates, ' As a reward, George knighted him And now we have---Sir Philip Gates! Page Twenty two Dick Hydeman's known throughout th He once was Einstein's protege, Till Einstein sent his resignation. In science now, Dick holds full sway. Perpetual motion he's discovered, He's solved the fourth dimension, too, All mysteries he has uncovered, He does what no one else can do. Goldsborough is our Governor And now Ohio's out of debt. Jim Campbell's warden at the peng One from our class he's never met. Ken Smith is coach at Notre Dame. His team is champion of the West. To Piqua, he has brought much fame. Of time he's surely stood the test. Poor Norman Bryan now is dead. He was an editor of note, But for some cutting thing he said An angry reader cut his throat. His life was like a beacon glow, To follow him is our intent, But ere we start we'd like to know Which way poor Norman Bryan went. john Zollinger now lives abroad, He chums with the nobility. His friends are earl or duke or lo'dg The life just suits john to a T. Do you remember Elwood Rose? He's president of O. S. U. Degrees? A dozen, l suppose, His name appears in Who ls Who. Bill Harris is at Tuskegee, In foremost rank he's won a place. He holds a Ph.D. degree And is an honor to his race. I chanced upon Bob Woods last week, His features radiated cheer. He teaches gym out at Spring Creek And makes two thousand bucks a year jim Dawson's in the far-off West, His is a forest ranger's life. With health and happiness, he's blest, A pleasant home, a charming wife. Bob Gates is now a movie starg The answer to a maiden's prayer. He drives a Rolls-Royce motor carg Is hailed an idol everywhere. I heard from Dick Hill once last yearg He broadcasts over N. B. C. He's worth a half a million clearg ls happy as a man can be.

Page Fortyeighr Football IQUA lndians of '37 completed a fairly successful grid' iron season by winning seven games, losing two, and tying one. They tied for second place with Xenia in the Miami Valley League. The most spectacular contest was that with Xenia. Both teams played a strong defensive game and depended on the breaks', for an opportunity to score. Having managed to score once to Xenia's once, the Tribe set out late in the game for another score, but due to a bad break on the four-yard line the game ended in a 7-7 tie. Had Piqua won they would have been co-champions with Sidney in the League.

The team won twelve and lost three games, only one of the losses being a League game. Piqua drew Dayton Dunbar in the district tournament, losing to them 37-31. Schedule Dayton Steele rr..r,.

In the dis- trict meet, which incidentally was held for the first time in Piqua, Elmer Harris placed ninth and Arthur Sullenberger twentyffirst out of sixty-three entries. In the state meet Elmer Harris placed forty-second out of one hundred fifty entries. The track squad, also under the supervision of Mr. Mote, held its first regular drill the first week in March.

Your home town has made a consider- able investment in your education, and other things being equal it should have first claim upon your youth and energy.
