CLASS PROPHECY CONTINUED- John Snider is on the State Highway Patrol, as Superintendent of the District Squad. His main interest is in the safety exercised in driving for the boys from 16 to 20 years of age. Betty Horn who was a Red Cross Nurse during the war, has taken up the Culinary arts and is head dietian at the New Jersey Institute. Richard Waitman has turned out to be a mechanic and expert Air- plane model builder. Maxine McGinnis, and Virginia May both married to former Army officers, were ambulance drivers on the West Coast and some of the thrill- ing experiences they can tell about. Maxine is a licensed aviatrix now, and Virginia owns a stable of riding horses. Dale Bondurant, Speaker of the State House of Representatives, got his position by his good arguing abilities. Dale is directly interested in the welfare of the capitalists, who can't take care of themselves. Richard Buffenbarger now owns three square miles of land out on the prairie. He is the big landlord over a well-organized farming corpora- tion and also directs an experimental station there on the farm. And as for me, I must busv myself at my daily column which I write for a chain newspaper. I'll be writing to you there. JOAN wana GLA We the Seniors of the year One Thousand Nine Hundred and Forty Two do hereby on this third day of April make this our last will and testament: ARTICLE I-To the juniors we leave our reputation as perfect Seniors, and the ability of coming in and sitting down in our seats quietly when the roll is being called. ARTICLE II-To the Sophomores we leave our ability to get along with the teachers, and the ability of keeping the Juniors in their place. ARTICLE III-To the Freshmen we bequeath our class picture in the study hall, so that they will realize the success gained through hard study. ARTICLE IV-To Jesse Newland we leave Miss Shaw's little red sprink- ling can, so that he will be able to sprinkle the school lawn this sum- mer, we also leave the old safe in remembrance of our S60.00, that the robbers took. ARTICLE V-To Jane Rinehart, Anna Mae Timmons leaves her nimble- finger swing piano playing. The classical music is all-right at times, but Anna Mae says, Let yourself to, it doesn't matter if you hit a few wrong keys just go on and the people will think you are playing Boogie-Woogie. To Roberta Moyer, Deloris Copeland leaves the right to be next years Sargent-at-arms. We are sure that by then Roberta will have found out the technique of the Sargent-at arms. To Bettie Roberson, Fred Focht leaves his quiet disposition, and his good humor. To Irene Patton, Betty Knotts leaves her sweet likeable manner. To come to think of it is that what you would call it? It is likeable, but I think she left the sweet with Her ---- man. To Byron Bondurant, Dale Bondurant leaves his ability to argue with the teachers. Because he has showed signs of wanting to argue, Dale feels safe to leave it in his hands to carry on the Bondurant custom. To Joe Pepple, Arleen Stiles leaves her ability to jitter-bug. It is very dangerous to jitter-burg on a crowded floor, but we feel sure that you will be able to take care of yourself. I-Iere's a warning Joe, be careful because the dance floors are very slippery and if you aren't careful the law of gravity may catch up with you. SS Wlll

GLASS PHUPHEGY In making out my registration papers here, for entry into the United States again, after living in Argentina for several years, I was asked to give references for identity. It came quite naturally to use classmates names and as I remembered some, I began wondering what the rest of them were doing. I soon found out. On my way back home, who do you think was the pilot of the plane? None other than Paul Cummings. During the stop-overs we had a good talk and he helped me locate some of the members of the class. Paul is a commercial pilot flying from Buenos Aires to New York. He's married and loves it. When he was injured in the war five years ago, and in the hospital, he said a little nurse, Audree Gossard, took care of him. When I asked him how Audree had turned out as a nurse he didn't have much to say but I got the general idea she's doing fine, anyhow she is doing research work as head nurse in the City Memorial Hospital in New York, now. Eugene Foor is the only one who stayed in the army after the war. He has been raised to Major General, and is known as the Napoleon of America because of his slight stature, and ability to handle men. Edythe Allison, wife of an Agricultrist expert, designs and models clothes in a Chicago salon. She had her maiden name for only a short while after graduation. Elmer Carter, after attending Business College surprised everyone by stepping directly into his present position as Broker in the Chicago Grain Market. Madalene Brown is a model for a tooth paste advertisement, because of her pearly white teeth. That just goes to show you what a daily tooth brushing will do. Bob McCreight, is a shoe store salesman whose motto is, Fit your heady your feet will take care of themselves. -and believe it or not he practices what he preaches. Arleen Stiles, fremember when she was chosen the best dancer in school?l is now doing her dancing and getting paid for it. Arleen uses fans-and gracefully. Her teammate is Anna Mae Timmons who is the Blues Singer in the same show. For good, morning entertainment you really should tune into WNUT to hear David Reynolds and his singing guitar with a program of famous songs for great lovers. His theme song is his old standby- If You Don't Love Me, Go Away and Leave Me Alone. Avis Kaufman, the quiet lass of the class, is still quiet and is married to a tall, quiet man. Quite a rowdy couple. They own and operate a restaurant in Bismarck, North Dakota. Fred Focht, the bachelor of the class. is the white haired executive president of the University of Colorado and teaches a class in Geology. Herman and Betty Blank, you will remember Miss Knotts, are living on the old home place, Maple Lawn, and raising the staple crop of potatoes. Herman attended college for two years and made a record on the University basketball squad. Betty attended a Home Economics Insti- tute and learned the essentials of housekeeping, before they took the final step. Barbara Heffner and Byron Edgington are featured in the Metropoli- tan Opera in New York as the leading team in the current production of The Country Doctor. Elnora Emrick is a Chemist, experimenting for the U. S. government in Vienna. She has written several books on her discoveries and is listed in the Who's Who in Science. Joe Webb and Joe Leatherman. after a few years, came together in the same capacity. They are models for Hair Oil advertisements and men's sport clothes. Deloris Copeland is still active in sports and a Physical Education teacher in Cleveland. She Roller Skates and Bowls.

CLASS WILL To Ruth Patton, Joe Leatherman leaves his Swing-a-roo saxophone playing. Don't worry about the sour notes you hit Joe, these are caused from a lack of wind, and we are sure that Ruth can easily take care of them. To Byron Allison, Betty Horn leaves her cute blue jerkin suit. You may laugh, but before the end of this war, the women may be wearing the pants of the family. To Mary Jo Slagle, Richard Waitman leaves his No. 13 shoes. Don't get excited Mary jo, you can always stuff the toes with cotton to keep them on, but because of the shortage of leather, Richard will be going around wearing the boxes. To Anna Mae Murphy, Paul Cummings leaves his hot temper, and his big Irish smile. To Mary Evelyn Bowman, Robert McCreight leaves his soft curlv hair. By the way Bobby, where did you get your curls? You don't need to think your fooling us, we know boys get permanents. To Inez Brandenburg, Avis Kaufman leaves the right to be the 1942-43 little girl Senior. Don't let it bother you Inez you wonlt need to diet, they say people get smaller as they get old. To Paul Shade, David Reynolds leaves his paper route. He doesn't seem to know what a help this is in getting current events for American Problems does he David? It really helped you didn't it? John Snider leaves his very becoming brown and beige pork-pie hat to Oscar Martin, and his come-hither chuckle to joe Sproul. To Paul Earl, Byron Edgington and Herman Blank leave position on the basket ball squad. We are sure that Paul will be able to fill both positions at once, with no effort put forth at all. To Betty Alexander, Madalene Brown leaves her hearty laugh, and Elnora Emrick leaves her shy disposition. Virginia May leaves her popularity with the Seniors to Flora Sue Bayliff. joe Webb leaves his permanent waving baseball cap to Wayne Murray, so that he may be next year's Senior Glamour Boy. You want to work fast, Wayne, because we know of some pretty stiff comp:- tition. Several of the other Junior boys are buying new ones. Joan Webb leaves her knowledge of dieting to Bob Mumaugh and her darling little white boots to Lawrence Ulrey. We are sure that Joan knows what she is doing in the boots case, because the weather thus far shows that the farming this spring will be a little bit on the uslushlyi' side. Richard Buffenbarger leaves his pipe- Organ ? to Anne Pcpplo. Old Wayne High simply must keep up with the styles, because in many colleges the flappers smoke pipes, and Richard figures that Anne is just about the most capable one of the Junior girls. To Joe Hatfield, Elmer Carter leaves his knowledge of farming. Elmer thinks Joe could handle the horses all-right because of his cutc little Horse-laugh. By the way that big W', you flash around certainly doesn't mean work does it? Elmer thinks it stands for women. Gene Foor leaves his nick name Shrimp to Dean Graham. Maybe Dean will misunderstand this for Shrink , Maxine McGinnis leaves her darling black curls to Roderick Gray. Wonit he look just too, too cute coming to school next vear with those luscious curls bobbing in the breeze, enrapturing his athletic face. Edythe Allison leaves her ability to take care of her precious little brother, Byron, to Vivian Wilson. ARTICLE VI-We, Barbara Sue Heffner, and Audree Gossard have tried to the best of our ability to make this will and testament stand out through the years to come. We hope you find as great an enjoyment in reading it as we have in making it.
