.- 1 ,. 9? I' v - - ny W ' , ' -: L- ' -J -. V . She was the wife of a farmer and the mother of' nine boys, who will probably be the future Cardinals. Gloria Sauer wants to be an interior decorator, but she was living in the slums of New York City, taking in washings for a living. 'ss W ' in Nola Garner was married to Lawrence Pattengill. 'They had a dairy farm and poor Nola had to milk ten cows every morning and night. 'UI think Edward Schiwitz plans to go to-college abd become a professor after leaving the barracks, but in hy dreams he was a janitor at Cape College. I guess that is as close as he could get. r Eugene Haney's highest aim is to be a first-class detective, and I thought to uyselfn-wasn't it too bad to see him sittingfin the courtroom whittling on a piece of cedar, with his Ucudn of tobacco in the side of his jaw, and his feet crossed on the table above his head, while his learned colleague elaborated on the innocence of his c ient., James Diebold wants to be a mechanical angineei.'- I could plainly see a large pick in his hands and at dif- ferent intervals it would be swung high above his head. QI thought to myself about how I had. warned him against ,being such a reckless driver. Otto Diebold wants to become an efficient bookkeeper, but in my dreams I beheld him driving an old skinny gray mare around and around a sorghum mill. ' Clifton Hensley's desire, after the Senior Play, is to ,be a minister. And I thought it was so strange to see him sitting on the banks of a little stream fishing with a hook, line and pole. 1 X p To be a nurse appeals very much to Virginia Hunt. In 'my vision she was in a little labratory out on her farm 'with hundreds and hundreds of lipsticks mixing and mix- ing, trying to get a shade of lipstick dark enough to suit her. Q up Beatrice Stike wants to be a stenographer in St. Louis, but when I went into a large building there she was 'very gracefully descending the stairs. The photo- grapher was waiting inlthd lobby to snap her picture for the Sears and Roebuck nbargain dressn page. .slr e -4 1 Q - C 1

I had had a very tiring day at the Barracks of Benton High School walking tours as the hot sun beat down on me. In my dreams it seemed as though it were twenty years from now and I saw all the Ser- geants of 1943. Shall I relatef f ' I visualized Billy Reed as plain as anything living all by himself--a miser counting his money every day-e after all the chances he had with the girls. 5 I really think Geraldine Kraft will make something of her typing ability, but in my dreams I could see her teaching the first and second grades at Commerce. - Pauline Pobst plans to be an old maid. But I could see her married and living on a very large farm on Big Alsland. She easily 'made a living for herself and her husband. f I saw that Dan McPherson had just divorced his sixth wife and had re-married his first by mistake. g , Nema Evans still had her job at Frobases--Qbut it a large night club and Nema was the leading chorus girl. Instead of Carrie Brunke's becoming a stenographer like she wants to be, I dreamed that she had gone to Hollywood and had become a famous ----- wash woman. ' , Janet Johnson's ambition is to go to France and learn to speak French fluently. But I could plainly see her cutting and pasting pictures, and there the gvision faded. Maybe working so much on the Bentonian affected her mind. v ' I' Mildred LeGrand, who's chief desire is to be a fa- mous seamstress was sitting in the back yard of her lit- .tle cottage with an old fashioned cradle in front of her and an old fashioned churn at her left side, she was rocking the cradle with her foot and churning 'with her hand. I almost forgot--hor name was still LeGrand. I beheld Davis Caldwell in an Admiral suit. He must have left the Benton High School Barracks to join the navy and there became an Admiral. A in A - ,W Betty Yount wants so much to travel and see the world. A
