W . I set the hour glassbefore me, for time was mine fas I'd plannedl, It was then I saw the future in each falling grain of sand. So.I looked into the future far as my wondering eyes could see Saw the visions of the world and all the wonders that would be. Dot is now a second Rembrandt, painting scenes to please the eye. Her sister Donna is in Russia work as an American spy. Lillian became a prospector on Mars' dry arid plain, She said there was lots of gold in Sitka but she couldn't stand the rain. Butch has bid for greater fame by outshining Toscanini While Rosie plays second fiddle in his Sitka symphony. Our fair friend Mr. David has the race tracks as his beat, Racing a horse called Fairy Foot' that hasn't won a heat. Fair Ethel is a farmer-she tried business but was a flop- So now she hoes her fields all day-with radishes her main crop. Lauretta, the famous surgeon, had fame even farther spread when She operated and made Virgil the only living man without a head. Archie invented the time machine and rose to heights sublime- He, traveled back to Cleopati-a's age and wrote a book on that time. Lloyd, it seems, went underground 'and has always stayed in that place- He lost his sweetheart Marilyn Monroe, and now can't look the world in the face. Larry, poor man, got married and is always kept very poor Trying to get enough money ahead to feed a family of 24. Ferdie and Norman are famous now as the first men to reach the moon. Bob planned on the trip, 'cause he built the ship, but he kicked the bucket too soon. Margie Klingbeil robbed a bank and was making her get-away when Her tire went pop, she was caught by a cop and is spending her life in the pen Shirley went to Morningside to care for the people gone mad: But all didn't go well, she was tossed in a cell when she thought herself Alan Ladd. The sands of time are running lowg the pictures fade away. The future is gone forever now, and the present is here to stay.

Nelson W'Lll1S Osbakken Vice-President First in brains-first in brawn' fat least in our heartsj was the class of '54, The activity enjoyed most during the year was in- itiating the newcomers several weeks after school started. Judge Mary Nelson was stern and unmerciful toward the frightened initiates during Kangaroo Court. All the deeds of the day were forgiven when our party rolled around that night before formal initiation. Four of our handsome boys proved the statement 'first in brawn by making the first string on the basketball team. These wonderful lads added to the fame of our class by winning the intramurals this year, with the other junior boys' help, of course. Hidden talent came to the surface in our minstrel show for the SGA, December 10. Willis Osbakken was inte rlucutor and Greg Ripley and John Abell were end men. Bringing the shores of Hawaii to Sitka, we gave our Junior Prom and Banquet on April 11 with everything from grass huts to tropical trees. DARKTOWN JAMBOREE
