20 Prophecy As we gaze into our old crystal ball, we see that the Seniors are very busy. Let’s find out what is going on in this year of 1961. Dale Altimus, who used to dribble a basketball down the floor in his high school days, is now mopping up the dribbles on the deck of the A.H.S. Battleship. Harold Arney, who has just finished four years of college, is now a chemistry teach- er at the Ashley High School. In his younger days he said that he would like to blow up the school. We wonder what he will do now. Marie Bell is still trying to decide whether to choose a soldier or a civilian for her dream man, ‘‘What’s the matter, Marie, doesn't Army life agree with you?”’ Mona Boyd has finally decided to join the WAVES so that she can be near her husband who is a Naval Officer. Harold Buchs is now a star forward for the Pistons. We saw him play the other night at Fort Wayne Coliseum. Dixie Casselman, who’s great ambition was to become a stenographer, is now a private secretary. We hear her boss is very handsome, No wonder she works overtime. Bill Chrisman, who is now Vice-President for the Shore Publishing Company, was advanced from accountant since his marriage to their daughter, Carl Dilley has become the oil tycoon of Ashley, Indiana, Since he has become a millionaire he has done quite a lot for the city of Ashley, and can now be rightly called ‘Diamond Jim”’. Francis Ellert, star pitcher and first baseman for the New York Yankees, just passed Babe Ruth’s home run record by hitting sixty-three home runs last season, Pat Ferris, as we predicted, did marry Ora Stackhouse, (By the way, Pat, what is that old saying, ‘‘Cheaper By The Dozen’’?) Max ‘‘The Flash ’ Gipple is breaking all records as shortstop for the Detroit Tigers. Last season he was voted the most valuable player in the American Leagues, Bob Hartman, who was piloting a plane for TWA, is now piloting a baby carriage around central park for MAMMA! Duane Heller, who used to shine up cars for his customers, in his garage, is now shining up the brass on his Commanding Officer's uniform, Pearl Kessler now has her own beauty salon. We hear she is doing very well. Congratulations, Pearl. Donna King is one of San Francisco’s famous fashion designers. Why is it that the women are talking all over the town, is it because of Donna’s shocking de- signs ? Rita King has moved from office girl to the President's private secretary. Lately most of the government workers seem to be women, could Rita have anything to do with this ? Ernie Ladd (Tennessee Ernie), famous Hollywood cowboy star and western songster, has married his cowgirl sweetheart, ‘‘Cactus Lil’’. Gene Miller is now a great television actor. He was discovered while he was a cameraman when the camera turned around and shot him instead of the love scene that was going on. Joan Miller, the popular Ashley High cheerleader, is now leading the cheers for the Fort Wayne Zollner Pistons,

Although this was the only year that he has been our sponsor in name, he has guided and lead us for four years, At one time or another he has helped us all over a rough spot and en- -couraged us when we needed encouraging. His sense of hunor has cheered us up many times when we felt all was lost and we were on the verge of giving up. His assistance and advice have invariably proven to lead to the right path and now as we near our graduation, we say the only thing we can that will cover everything he has done for us: Thank you, Mr. Frederick, for everything. --Harold E. Arney, Jr. 21
