PROPHECY After much labor and mental anguish we have come upon an idea (period)t Any resemblance to persons living or dead is purely intentional. It is the year of our Lord one thousand nine hundred and fifty-nine. We --Snoz2le Sparks, Casonova Sinclair, Babe Venell, Jitterbug Wiseman, Punkln Abrams, and Beautiful but Dumb Tunby--decided to bear each other's company long enough to take a Slow Boat To China . So bear with us, please 1 Just before we embarked from New York we met one of our old classmates, Peggy Lund was standing on a soap box, dressed in the uniform of the Salvation Army lassie. She was preaching against the liquor and gambling that nipped her budding youth. As we passed the Statue of Liberty who should we behold but Herb O’Donnell. He was slinging whitewash on the statue in true Tom Sawyer style. See what literature done for him! When we landed at Balm Beach, we saw a pretty little gal dressed in one of those snaz gay ninety bathing suits yelling, Cigars, cigarettes. It was none other than Betty. Scheulur. As the bellboy showed us our rooms in the hotel, we noticed a familiar figure polishing the gold door knobs and taking an occasional peek through the key holes. Imagine our surprise when Arleen Stieg Randash Smith Jones Browr Welles Peck Grant Vanderbilt turned to waddle down the hall. At Havana, Cuba, we stopped to see Jacques Moorees starring in Macbeth . (Back in '49, he was Just plain Jack Morse, pest.) Just as Macbeth was about to stab King Duncan, the film broke. Up the aisle he lumbered, hands in his pockets and a wad of gum in his mouth--you guessed it, Bob Burkett. Next wa stopped at Jamaica. While we ware there, we visited their famous rum distillery. Who, to our wondering eyes should appear but Jimmy Jessup. He was dashing from barrel to barrel with a gallon pail In his hand performing his duties as Chief Sampler . Hie! As we passed through the locks of the Panama Canal, we saw in the distance Charlie Schenck. He was locked in the arms of one of those toothless native gals we heard so much about in our civics class. On the beach of Tahati, we ran Into Dixie Lee Biffle painting a scene of tropical splendor. She always did like ART!I When we stopped nt Jarvis Island to refuel, Mr. and Mrs. Nature Boy (alias, Lloyd Irvine and his native wife) came in with a new shipment of exotic orchids. He never did go for any of us gals back in '49. At Wiakiki we investigated a flash of color behind a palm tree ar 3 found it to be Allan Wang. He was hula dancing under the direction of his very able teachert Delores Hopperle. The fasnion center has now turned from Paris to Honolulu. Who should we see in a beach show but Ramona Phebus modeling her latest peek-a-boo bathing suit. Also while in Honolulu, we attended a football game between M. S U. and the University of Hawaii. We were very proud of our old friend, Ronnie Molatad as he broke through the line for a thrilling touchdown for the Grizzlies. While we were touring the University of Hawaii we saw another of our class- mates. We were especially surprised to see Horace Schenck teaching his favorite subject, chemistry. As we cruised by Midway, we heard a very familar voice yelling: Stasaen in ’SO! Guess! (Larry Senator Busch) In the deep solitude of Wake Island, we found Arthur Stieg writing a book on child psychology. He always did like babes . (14 or 15 years old, that is!) Flash! News from Montana. That notorious Francie Hayes is on trial for the burglary of the one and only saloon of Plevna, Montana. He is being defended by the brillant criminal lawyer, Betty Phillips. On the wharf at Guam, we saw a powerful body cut the water In a dive. Going closer we found It was Delbert Hudson collecting pearls. Oh, JOY! What a life! At the mouth of the Yantze River, we saw Bill Randash drifting along in a Junk. After his fifth marriage, anything will do. al Shangnal, we visited one of the greatest cathedrals In the world. W were pleasantly shocked to find Dale Stanhope behind the pulpit. As we ran out of the church we hailed a rickBhaw and found our driver to be Llewell Johnson. What happened td the Ford? As we jogged down the street, we saw a sign The H K Club. We decided to take a look see and found Howard Koenign was the proprietor. The special attrac- tion was none other than Shirley Traweek singing A Kiss Kissing In The Corn. On this bright note we each departed on our separate ways for our homes in the good old U« 3 A Signed: Beautiful but Dumb, Punkln, Jitterbug, Babe, Snozz, Casonova

POEM' Elaine Abrams is first in line She does her studies and Is in bed by nine Altho her lessons are always the same She goes with a feller, and I think hefs from Rhame. Dixie Biffle is tall, studious and dark And In every subject she gets a good mark Some day she will marry, so she has said We wonder if it will be with her boy-friend Red. Bob Burkett's the fellow to whom we all go When it's time for a movie in class, or a show His lights for the Prora were a joy to behold; Electricity is his line, we don't have to be told For fast driving, Larry Busch we all know That he can make that Chev really go. But he does slow down when be wants to eat And when it comes to that he's one you can't beat. Hark, listen to the rumble, the rattle and the roar Hayes Is headed for Plevna with his footfeed to the floor. Although we all know he can play basketball real well. When his car heads for Plevna It goes pell mell. Look over in Plevna whenever you can And you see Hepperle and Schueler in a big sedan Around in school they are quiet and shy But it's late at night when they say goodbye. Out in shop Delbert Hudson spends his time Also as a sport football was In his line But when it comes to the girls he's very coy Say, isn't there a sophmore girl named Joy? Lloyd Irvine, too, finds sports in his line; When It comes to basketball, he's right on time. We find him out practicing, doing his best. And keeping his grades up to meet the worst test. Jimmy Jessup is the other who goes to Plevna every time. That's why he comes to band late every morning at nine. But Mislc and Shop he does adore He's also soda jerk down at the drug store. If a black Ford whistles by, it is Johnson, by gad. There Is a feller that's a studious lad. When he played football, he would go right through the line But when he goes out, its Betty right on time. Then comes Howard Koenig, a tall, rangy boy As basketball center, he's our pride and joy. He's pleasant and friendly, with manly good looks, And he really does well when it comes to the books. Our Peggy Lou Lund has just what it takes She plays and she sings; she sews and she bakes. She is tops in Home Ec. and other things too. But manages somehow much dating to do. Ronnie Molstad Is quiet and shy as can be Till he grabs up a football, and then you should see How he'll tackle and run till he piles up a score And then doesn't mind if he's all bruised and sore. Jack Morris we all know--a good looking guy— At whom all the girls cast a worshipful eye. Altho we're afraid he finds lessons a bore, When he playes his accordion, we clamor for more. Young Herbert O'Donnell is our studious lad For creating dlstubbances, he's never bad. He's so pleasant and friendly we like him a lot And as for nice manners--they're just what he's got. For tall, dark and handsome, Ramona Phebus we'll pick Her dimples are something to make one's heart tick But, alas, her affections are already taken. By a fellow named Wang, If we're not mistaken. The reason Betty Phillips always looks so Jolly Pretty soon she will be living In that big town of Ollie. We know that she will never get lost Because she will always be with Rost. Bill Randaah Is the boy with the cute little grin When It comes to school doings, he's always in. Class plays, sports, music and all. And still he finds time on Arleen to call. 13
