CLASS PROPHEC Y Crystal balll, crystal balll Your duty is to tell -us all About the lives of our '48 grads, As they tread through life on their various paths. First I see Radio Station B. H. S. This is the largest television center in the world. The owner is Warren P. Williamson., Ill. Shh, We must be quiet as the show, Songs by Downie , is about to begin. The sponsor, Paul Herald's pharmacy, is now advertising plastic baby toys made by the famous Shornhorst Manufacturing Company. As this program progresses, let us move to another part of the building where the program So You Want To Be a Model 'is now being tele- vised. Today Choo-Choo Fullerton and Candy Snodgrass are inter- viewing some young hopefuls. Both the glamorous young models are wearing creations by Doris Beck. Behind the scenes of this hustling, bustling station, I see two 'talented radio engineers, Henry Gorgas and Dick Bauman. The ball grows hazy. As it clears again a large office building comes into view. As I enter the building, I hear a cheery voice as the valued receptionist Jo Ann Smith greets the airline stew- ardess Beverly Sinkle who has just returned from a trans-Atlantic flight and is making a report to her employer Melvin Mansfield, the respected aeronatic expert. I see the personnel department, if you have any problems this is the place to come. Verna Lee Dodson and Carol Bow- man will give you some needed advice. And now I venture into the world of sports. I can see a huge arena-crowds of people-and in the center a boxing ring. Can you feel the vibration of that punch de- livered by Knock em out in the first round De Marinis? Presently I see that spectactular Olympic star Don Pinhey-I wish I were there to get his autograph. I would also like the autograph of that All-American basketball player Don Simon.. Gradually the scene changes, and now a huge newspaper establishment looms into view. The editor-in-chief, Ann Warnock, is holding a meeting of the important department heads. Over there is Raymond Green, head of the advertising department. Next to him is Martha Sandstrom the efficient head of the office force. Her staff of able assistants includes Ellen Jayne Mahan, Jeanne Field- house, Ruth Deckant, and Jo Ann Senn. There is Flash Gun Dougherty noted for his unique photographs. The crystal ball grows misty, and suddenly the long halls of a school loom into sight. The Dean of Girls, Miss Janet Banninga, is discussing the problem of a wayward student With the principal, Robert Clayton. Down the hall comes Miss Ruth Smith, the commercial teacher, accompanied by Mr. Nelson Doyle, the history teacher. The steady line of patients to the hospital room re- sults from the attractiveness of the nurse Nancy Swanner-and the handsome doctor, Richard Mills. Piercing shrieks reveal the addition of a new department. Dr. Nelson Gustafson, dentist, is operating on an unwilling student patient. ' For the last time the ball grows dim. We can only guess what has happened to the remaining members of our graduation class of '48.

Many worried hours of study were climaxed February 7, when nineteen seniors chosen by Mr. Tidd assembled at South High School to compete with other seniors from Mahoning County in the Ohio State Scholastic Examinations. Although a superior rating on this test does not insure a scholarship to a college, it is an important factor in deciding if an applicant will receive aid. Boardman made an enviable record, George Schultz, Warren Williamson, and Robert Clayton having placed in the upper ten in the county. Of the more than 8000 competing seniors from all parts of the state, all nineteen Boardman participants numbered in the highest fifty per cent and thirteen in the first twenty per cent. Congratulations, Seniors!
