SENIOR CLASS PRGPHECY The time: May 22, 1975. The place: the large airfield just outside Ber- lin. The event: Professor Wilbur Dean Inks, head scientist at the Berlin University, has just returned from a trip to Mars. After many interviews he decides to visit Milo Troyer, one of his old classmates. Milo is at the head of the conservation department in Holmes County at the present time but it is rumored that he has received some correspondence from Washington regarding a job for the national government. Since Prof. Inks has not seen the city of Berlin or any of his other classmates since graduation from high school, Milo agrees to show him around town. The first place they visit is the Kaser Trucking Co. which is owned by Richard Kaser. They stop to tall-1 with Dick but his secretary tells them that he and his family have just left for Europe on a vacation. Continuing towards the center of town they pass the Johnson 8a John- son Engineering firm which is owned by Jim Johnson. Jim married Velda soon after graduation from high school but he went to engineering school anyway and is now doing a fine business. He also has a half dozen little en- gineers that keep things buzzing around the home. The next building they see is the City Hospital. When they enter the hospital they are greeted by Maurice Mullet who is one of the head doctors. Dr. Mullet also informs them that two other classmates are also employed there. Lorene Miller is a registered nurse and Joan Kaser is one of the medi- cal technicians. They are just ready to leave the hospital when a new ar- rival is announced. It is a seven pound baby boy born to Mr. and Mrs. Ivan Boo Stutzman. 1The former Eileen Mast.J This makes number four for them. After leaving the hospital, they choose, as the next place of visit, the new elementary school. Here they find that Faith Kieffaber is one of the teachers. She and her husband also own a large farm in Charm, one of the suburbs of Berlin, on which they raise some of the best thoroughbred hor- ses in the country. Also teaching in the same school is Joanne Miller. She, too, is married and has a couple little ones of her own. When they reach the downtown area they enter one of the many fine restaurants. Here they find Shelba Kaufman employed as a waitress. While she serves Prof. Inks and Mr. Troyer she tells them that the proprietor of the restaurant is none other than the Husband of Mary Stutzman. The next place they visit is the television station. At the time they ar- rive Ada Kaufman is just finishing her program, Toys for Tots.

CLASS POEM OUT OF SCHOOL LIFE INTO LIFE'S SCHOOL Four rather long years of labor Of toiling day after day Four years of joy and excitement Four years of work and play We've labored hard and long, And now the time is near When we must step into another world- A world of excitement and fear A world full of opportunities, With many decisions to be made And we must choose which way we'll travel As Life's plan before us is laid Many times will our thoughts return To our good old High School Days When our teachers, with great love and patience Helped us along Life's rugged ways Now forgetting the past and looking ahead Tis not far that we can see But we'll trust God to lead the way And thus be led successfully By Elsie Yoder
