We, the class of '44 have had many enjoyable times as well as trials and tribulations, in our four years in Wlausa High School. May the knowledge we have gained there bring success and happiness to everyone of us in the future. 00900 SENICIR CLASS PRCIPHECY Today as I was napping I heard a rap at my door. As I was greatly annoyed at being disturbed, I reluctantly came to my feet and slowly went to answer the door. As I opened it an aged Chinaman stood before, me. He said, I heard you sent for me. My name is Confucius. I have traveled from the home of my hon- orable ancestors so that I can be at your command. Now my dear readers, I trust you have all heard of Con- fucius, that superhuman with those mystic oriental powers. This aged man can see into the darkest corners of the earth and can foretell events to such an accurate degree that the wholeworld listens to every word he utters. He kindly consented to foretell the future of the Class of 1944 of Wausa High School. He did not know what a difficult task he had undertaken. During the four brief years of high school the Class of '44 added much to the history of the school, and set an example which future classes might well follow, Recognizing him, I immediately bade him to come in and be seated. The aged Chinaman seated himself in my favorite arm chair and lighted his long stem Nargile. The smoke begins to curl up toward the ceiling. Soon it starts to form strange mystic scenes which I watch in fascination. To my surprise, I see the members of the Class of '44 leaving the school building. As they trudge away each one casts longing looks back, as they recall the many pleasant days which have been spent there. This scene slowly fades and a swift series of events flash by. I am aware that time has passed with the smoke and it is now about twenty-five years later. I watch the varying scenes with a great deal of pleasure as the careers of my classmates flash by me, one by one. The first person I recognize is Eva May Dillman, deep in the heart of the African jungle. As usual, she is in an argument with an African native, King Wishy Washy, I gather from this that she is trying to persuade him of the little value' of ivory and is using all her salemanship as a foreign diplomat. n Quickly the scene changes to an office in California. Here I see an individual sitting in a large over-stuffed chair, with his
