Senior Class Prophecy Listen, my children, for this is the rhyme Of the fleeting years of Father Time On the fourth of June in '52 As he tells the fate of the class members true And we go with him on his journeys anew. Ott to the left in the deep, cold night Spurlock was plowing with a tractor with lights, While Barbara Brooks at the doorway stood Calling her husband to bring in some wood. Next was the place called the Country lnn That housed the travelers and welcomed them in. Mr. Leuthold was the pleasant young host And Cora was the cook, cooking nothing but toast. While onward the steed rode and clanking his hoofs, Came the tolling of church bells nearly raising the roofs., The sermon by Carson was soon to be spoken, So Sexton Englehard, with his ringing un- broken Called the people to worship and pray, And the choir, directed by Eleanor Day, Sang a soft, docile song and Welty, soloist Coached by his teacher Master Dick Willis Offered Anguish's B Flat Minor in A. On through the village and up on the hills To a confectionery store owned by Doris Mills. Stopped for a coke and then in the night Passed a young lady, none other than Lola Light Who was on her way to pick up Landes, you know-Hen Por now it's the ladies who date the men. Through the river he had to wade Up on the river bank, meeting Joyce Spaid Who watched the graceful fishes swim While in the doorway stood Betty Grimm The two kept a home for the aged folk With the special skill of Nurse Irene Volk. -24- The steed went on but there was a man in the way, Neill Teets was hitching his horse to the shay. He has won his bonnie sweet Barbara, at last, So before her mind changes, the ceremony must be fast. He calls for the Justice of the Peace, John Sears While Eva Hardy's eyes are filled with tears. She and Barbara have roomed together for the last ten years. ln the sky above was a yellow streaked lane Made by the exhaust of Crash Keller's plane, And up in the sky way out of sight Bill Beale runs a fuel station for fellows in flight, Marjorie Eaton right across the way Runs a lunch wagon, and some say She serves the best hash from Oceola to Bom- bay. Marjorie Dinkel is secretary to the mayor in Lexington. Louise Reininger is librarian-in-chief. Betty Fegley is town constable in spite of her sex And has tracked down many a thief. Chemist Pettit has found a cure to remove all signs of bite From Indian turnips-so other boys may eat them with delight. He crosses the bridge and thought he saw then Ruth Beall still feeding the chickens and hens. Mitchell and Oborn have taken the stock-barn in halves They've made a cool million selling pigs and calves. Murphy has an idea, new and fine For bringing Rehm more trade in the furniture line. Durr is selling rugs, wallpaper and paint. The work that he does never gets a complaint. Hissling is hauling coal from the southern mine While for him is working Outhwaite and Kline. Don Beer is yet a sailor on the briny ocean deep. , He has tried with all his heart to make a ship that will leap. Christman now is his own self's boss, But funds run low when a poker game hands him a loss.

We'll Never Forget SEPTEMBER 3 - It was the tirst day of school. Weren't we glad to leave our summer vacation and come back to see all ot our old friends again? We got into harness and settled down immediately and those teachers didn't have to scold us a bit! THOSE MUDDY FOOTBALL GAMES- Was there anything to compare with it? Faithfully we cheered on the football boys as they fought tor victory in each game. In all kinds ot weather the team, coaches, managers, band, cheerleaders, and spectators were doing their best. Didn't the cheerleaders have some novel yells? HOMECOMING - THE AIRPLANE When the band put on a clever exhibition by forming an airplane with colored lights on their caps to bring the Homecoming Queen, Marjorie Eaton, and her at- tendants, Joyce Spaid and Lois Ann Rockwell onto the field. Nolan Carson, presi- dent of the Senior Class escorted the queen and her attendants to their seats. CRACK-UP - that Fred Keller had. Everyone at school was startled to hear the bad news that one of the promiment members of our Senior Class had been in an accident. Fred was able to anchor himself alright, but the plane was a total wreck. He was very calm about it, wasn't he? He must have been born under a lucky star. THE GIRL RESERVE SWEETHEART BANOUET- RUBINOFF - when the Girl Reserves entertained their boy friends. Under the leadership of Lois Rockwell, the girls planned a unique Chinese setting. with his interpretation of Oh Johnny, and the thrill it was to hear him play the beautiful strains of Intermezzo. With stirring enthusiasm, he directed our band and praised their work. We wish to thank him for the sincere words he expressed on the radio that night. WHEN THE NAVY- took Donald Beer under its wing. We lost a faithful member of our class in the fall when Donald telt that his services were needed elsewhere and he joined the Navy.

CHRISTMAS VACATION - and how it flew by so fast that we hardly had time to catch our breath. The basket- ball team played the alumni during vacation and won in an overtime game 37-31. OUR SPECIAL ASSEMBLIES- Everyone enjoyed the voices of the Boys' Choir from Columbus. These boys were all under twelve years of age and they surprised us greatly at their remarkable talent. The Ohio Wesleyan octet also gave a splendid performance. Although not entirely musical the assembly about the Indians, and the minister who lived in Africa were excellently prepared and held the students' attention. There were many others which are too numerous to mention. THE HI-Y BARN DANCE- -26- when everyone came rigged up in overalls, slacks or gingham dresses. It was held at the Y. M. C. A.
