The Prophecy As I travel around the country I meet my classmates of ’41. In the past ten years they have all gained their goals. The first one that I met was Jean Hiles. She and her husband have a large office in Portland. He was once her boss but now it’s just opposite. As I was walking down the street in New York City I saw a tall woman dragging a weary little man by the collar, toward a hat shop. I followed them into the shop and found that it was Gwen Howard. Upon inquiry about the past ten years, I found she had married a wealthy lawyer and now has a family of twelve. Next I stopped at the Glanville Airplane Manufacturing Co. There I found that Carl Glanville is the owner of the plant. He once said that he would never marry but he has changed his mind for now he has a wife and twin daughters. In San Diego I met Admiral Jim Nichols. He was having the usual trouble of a sailor, with a girl in every port. He couldn’t remember with which one he had a date. Next I went to Honolulu, where I met Eugene Carpenter and his wife She is a typical Hawaiian girl. Eugene, after six years of the navy, has joined the Army Air Corps and is now stationed at Honolulu. I went to Pango Pango, South Africa. There I met Elwood Townsend, the last of the Senior Class of’41. He has a large diamond mine which he has been working for the last five years. However he has had some very tough luck. He said, “When my ship comes in, I will go back to the states and find me a wife.” I am now back at my position as head nurse in a large hospital in New York.

Junior History In the fall of 1939, nineteen students entered Riddle High School as freshmen. They were: Dorothy Shobert, Mildred Hamlin, Maebelle Hendrick, Stanley Dean, Edna Rigsby, Virginia Griggs, Bill Randall, Jerry Sackett, Reta Gillespie, Willard Boyd, Patricia Ball, Charles Sullivan, Donald Boyd, Jane Hausotter, Edward Hart, and Delton Pruner. Although we were somewhat green and backwards at first, we soon adjusted ourselves to high school life. About a month after school started we were formally initiated into high school activities. None of us were treated badly and we all thought we would enjoy high school. For the rest of the first semester our primary concern was getting our lessons. Due to various causes, four of our members had left us by the beginning of the second semester. They were: Reta Gillespie, Glen Gillespie, Charles Sullivan, and Donald Boyd. Despite this decrease in numbers we took an active part in sports and other school activities. During our second year we lost Stanley Dean and Gerald Chaney, but gained one new member, Covie Robbins. The class had several representatives on the ball teams and continued to take an active part in school activities. As we started this term we gained two new members, Glen Gillespie and Vivian Thompson, but, having lost Cameron Boyd and Willard Boyd, the total was the same. The class continued its good record, all members having high scholastic standings. On March 14, we gave a dance and basket social to raise money for the Junior - Senior banquet. It was well attended and everyone present had a good time. We have now completed three years of high school and are looking forward eagerly to being the Seniors of next year. We all hope we will continue to be an active class and that we will keep up the good reputation of the Riddle High School. -(19)-
