SENIOR CLASS PROPHECY Hello folks, we are greeting you from the Lina- weaver YVinter Resort. Mr. Linaweaver, being a member himself, has invited the class of 1952 as his guests. He seems to have made quite a thing out of this resort. Starting only with a sled and a pair of skiis, he has enlarged the resort to one of the largest in the state of XVisconsin. As we walk around the premises wc find the for- mer Eleanor Ray, and her husband Ivan Mark, pre- paring to take a ride in one of the many sleighs. VVe notice a very distinguished gentleman already in the sled. YVhy, its none other than that famous usher, Mr. Phil Hand, who owes his entire and most success- ful career to his old job back at the Royal theater in Sheffield, Illinois. As we walk a little further we see Miss Kathleen jones, Miss Edith Marie Newman and Mr. Dennis Morrasy, who have made great starts in the teach- ing porfession. Miss jones is now principal of the new high school in Sheffield. Mr. Morrasy, who is head English instructor, and Miss Newman, Head Physical Education Instructor, have been employed at the same school for four years now and are making quite a record for themselves. Mr. Steve Speakman, the world's most famous pro- fessor of commercial studies, specializing in book- keeping, arrived with skates in hand, daring the ice. Mr. Russell Hansen has been seen demonstrating to a group how he acquired the world's most undevel- oped VVeight Lifter's Championship. VVe notice that in one of the vacant lots, quite a crowd has gathered. Let's go over and see what's go- ing on. WVhy, it's Mr. Marvin Frank and his wife, the former Cheryl jones .of Sheffield. They are dem- onstrating their ability to train white horses. Mr. and Mrs. Frank have made themselves quite well known throughout Illlinois by the performance of their white horses, which they train on their 1,000 acre farm north of Sheffield. VVe have just received a telegram from Miss jean Sprowls that her arrival will be delayed, due to the fact that she has been unable to locate her chauffer for the trip up to the Linaweaver Resort. Off to my right can be heard the loud bellowing of a moose. Wait a minuteg No, I'm wrong. It's Mr. Marvin Van Meir, the famous star of the Can You Top That , now a nationally broadcasted program. Mr. Van Meir got his start by his boisterous stories at the Sheffield High School. Here comes the former Clara Gibson and her hus- band, Mr. Robert Lee Oloffson. They are residing at their home in NVyanet. Mr. and Mrs. Oloffson were married right after Miss Gibson graduated and have raised a family of four. They are planning to move to Georgia before too long. WVell, here's Doctor Sipes. Miss Sipes started her study as a chiropedist Cfoot specialistj, after her many hard years of misery during her high school days. VVe have just spotted the noted fashion designer and model, Miss Eileene Chasteen. Miss Chasteen de- signs and models her own clothes and has started a string of ladies clothing stores throughout the coun- try. Miss Chasteen got her start as a designer, due to her deep interest in fashions as a teenager. Admiral Cunningham and his wife, the former Marlene johnson, have just arrived with five of their ten sons, to prepare the lunch to be served after the arrival of all the guests. Admiral Cunningham has been stationed aboard the U. S. S. Cunningham, which he himself designed and built. The day was brought to a close with a grand and glorious music concert, conducted by the famous concert and orchestra leader, Miss Mary Catherine Sullivan. Miss Sullivan played a mean clarinet during her high school years and majored in music while in college. VVe hope that we can all return to Mr. Linaweav- er's resort 10 years from now. Until then, good-by all!
