n Class Prophesy The members of the class of .1938 have been very much interested in psy- chology, psychoanalyses and psychiatry. Naturally they get all wrought up about their repressions and complexes, defense mechanisms, and rationalizations. So when the famous psychiatrist, Professor Abdullah Freudson-Brilling op- ened.a consulting room for the mentally unfit and the intellectually unsettled in Way- nesfield, our earnest students rushed to see him-not that they were uiifitg- unisetjtled or un-anything-but just to be psychoanalyzed. 4Last night I went to Professor Freudson-lBrilling's office, and as luck would have it he wfasn't in. To kill time I looked through the magazines on the table-Mcd-' ern Priscilla, December, 19105 Literary Digest, June, 1927 3 The Etude, February, 19383 and Gramma's Home Companion, April, 1890. But I wanted something snappy. and then I found a black covered notebook at the bottom. Being curious I looked at it and there I saw the names of my classmates-:md what I found out! have no fear that what I'm telling you is incorrect as it's exactly what the psychiatrist wrote about members of the Senior class who had consulted him: Stanley Brown, a stolid, slow moving chap, will never display either speed or animation. Can be trusted never to hurry. He will become a plumber's assistant, the kind who looks for the monkey wrench and can'l find it. Erma Louise Sproul is a nervous, inquisitive type. Will be a fine reporter because of her intense interest in everybody s business .and her cast-iron nerve, which cnables her to penetrate where she is not wanted, without embarrassn ext. Gertrude Williams shows signs of a very fvast worker. She will be the first woman to commute from America to Europe by the great Northern Airway. She will operate two candy stores, where she will seil her famous fudge-one in london and the other in New York, and will spend the alternate day in each, traveling back and forth at night. Robert Blank has an athletic body and a lethargic mind-the patient type. He likes to sit and wiatch things, his calm disposition, combined with his ingrained inertness, makes him the ideal type for a sports promoter. ' Jo Anne Walters has a very cheerful and loving disposition. Her place will be no other than superintendent of nurses in a large hospital. Rosalie Sproul is .a strange case, troubled by a recurrent dream in which sh: is a canary bird being chased by a cat. She told me she thought this meant that she would be a pet shop owner. Quite wrong. She will be a great singer. Dewey Rinehart is a splendid example of perfect self control. He never stut- ters, stammers, hesitates for a word, has no complexes and no bad habits, and doesn't mind how'late hours he keeps or with whom he keeps them. He can talk very rap- idly and his enunciation is perfect. He will be awarded a gold medal by the internat- ional Academy for the Preservation of Speech as the world's most famous radio an- nouncer. Ruth Ulrey shows tokens of an undecided mind, a vacilliation of purpose. She has decided what she will do in life-and changed her mind-every day for a year. She will guide uncertain boys and girls into their proper life work for she will be head of the Vocational Guidance Department of a large co-educational institution in the Middle West. Lenore Bowdle is of the quiet type. However she will be a famous violinist and will be at the head of a concert tour through Europe. Don Bondurant is an interesting case. An overdevelopcd imagination and an under developed digestion are producirg a wonderful result-the ability to concoct 1he weirdest tales at practically a minutes notice. 'lhis .ability is so remarkable Ptlhat his conversation consists almost entirely of weird tales. 'lhose who know him well never believe him, and strangers se'dom. Being an intelligent young man, he will turn this talent to account. He will become ia real-estate salesman, selling Florida lots by the gross to inhabitants of Labrador and igloos to the dwellers in the Sahara. tContinued On Next Page!

Diff' s Q?f fi gs Senior Class History fContinued From Preceding Page! At the beginning of the year we carefully selected the following capable class officers to supervise the activities of our last year: President ...........i.............,............................................ Dewey Rinehart Vice-President ........... ,,.,..,.,,,,,,, R obert Blank Secretary-Treasurer ,...,.,. ,,,,,,, J 0 Anne Walters News ReDOI'ter ,...............................r............................. Carolyn Wilson A few weeks later a committee of three members, Byron Daw- son, Waldo Douglas and Edna Deck, was appointed to take charge of our candy sales for the year. At this time we wish to express our ap- preciation to those who have so faithfully patronized us during the year The most wonderful event of our high school days came in Nov- ember 8, when' we entered the new school building which we had stead- ily watched being constructed. It then became our place for the remain- der of our school days. Our sincere thanks and gratitude go out to those who have sacrificed and dilligently worked to provide rs vxith stch in rdequ-ately equipped building to make our work more enjoyable and ef- ficient. In January the annual staff was elected. The advertising manag- ers immediately started their work to make possible one of the biggest and best editions of THE WAYNE ever published. The individual pictures were taken February 10, and group pic- tures of the various classes and organizations in both Junior and Sen- ior high, and the grades were taken on March 18. And so we come to the last chapter. We linger wistfully over' it's pages, but finally the end must enevitably come. We all join our talent and enthusiasm in supporting and presenting our last dramatic attempt, the Senior class play. We regretfully receive the royal entertainment which the Junior-Senior Reception brings. It is with mingled sadness and anticipation that we come to Baccalaureate and Commencement. And now, we gently close the book and bravely and eagerly turn our gaze to- ward life's new and greater adventures. LENORE BOWDLE

W: f f-egg . f-fa-as--F2-fi i Class Prophesv lContinued From Precedimz Page? Edna Deck, a rare type is of great interest. Her reactions range from the blackest despair to sitting on top of the world. She starts in one mood and finishes. in another. Her vocation must be one in which stability, good judgement, and a lack oi prejudice ard open mindedness are essential. She wil be a basketball referee. Jeannette Sallaz shows signs of being an artist. As a portrait painter she will make us forget Rembrandt. Waldo Douglas is not a modern type. He is persevering, not easily discour- aged, and never gives up. In endurance contests he will become America's champion pole-sitter, non-stop aviator, radio listener, marathon dancer, bicycle rider, prellzel eater, mammy singer, and world's channel swimmer, for once dropped in, he will swim back and forth until his manager remembers to come and fish him out. Eunice Snider has artistic ability, keen bu-siness sense, and an understanding of the human race. She will be a cosmetician, proprietor of Ye Beautifier Shoppy- alterations while you wait-an up to date shop combining the arts of beauty culture and plastic surgery. Louise Gossard is an interesting case. Not fond of overwork. Yet so tlfilt' others will not shirk, she will run a great employment agency. Thomas Wells is a very ordinary case, having no outstanding characteristics He is fond of lig-ht music-the kind you play with one f'nger. he will be h success- ful song writer. He will be receiving royalties by the barrel iiom such songs as Monte Carlo Moon and There's A Ga-Ga Girl From Guatemala. Pearl Winans is a very qu-eer case, possessing psychic power to a remarkable degree. This is shown clearly by her vague. indef'nite manner. In a few years her seances will be attended by a'l the best people. Alice Snider is a charming type, domestic and capable, but with a slight inferiority complex, due to the unfortunate fact that once she received only second prize in .an international bread-making contest-. She will be the happy wifetof a prominent business man with the nicest -home and best meals in town. Also she will be a lecturer on home-making-telling people how to build a front porch out of pack- ing boxes and how to feed ten people for seven days on 23c a piece. Jack Yale has a vigorous plain nature, with an abnormal passion for truth and a. desire to rid the world of false and outmoded beliefs. He will write a life of Washington containing a list of all the places he did not make his headquarters. He will give the correct version off: Jack, the Giant's Catcher, ' and Aladdin, the Wond- erful Scamp. Louise Steele is a composite type, with no inhibitions and few ideas, and a love for publicity. She has a good voice -and can sing two entire songs without los- ing the tune. She will be featured in a motion picture: Louise Steele, America's Girl Friend in 'Cinderella's Sandals,' the all talking, all-singing, all-dancing, colored epic of the age. Miss Steele talks, sings, dances, and plays three musical instruments, includ- ing a vacuum cleaner. - Erma Carter shows ease in conversation and skill in argument. ,She will be a great speaker, for she will be sixtieth president of the United States. She will sponsor bills for defranchising saxaphone players, radio crooners, and talkative fisher- men. Noted for her unique foreign policy. Ut has not yet been made public and prob- ably never will bel. Will organize the club: League of Discontented Voters. Byron Dawson belongs to that great body of people who have a superiority complex. When he was very young, someone praised him and he never recovered. His deli ht and skill in gett'ng others to work while he watches, and his ability! to answer all quest'ons, sometimes correctly, and the snappy forceful manner in whic he orders people around point to but one calling-teaching school. Now that your anxieties as to your futures are at rest, it is only fair to tell you that 1 learned this morning that-Professor Freudson-Brilling is not a sychiat- rist at all, but an escaped lunatic from the state asylum. Of course that will, not af- fect the accuracy of his nmtes at all, but I thought you might like to know. . CAROLYN WILSON
