SENIOR PROPHECY The members of the class of 1945 have been very much Interested In psychology. Many of them have taken profound oouraes In suoh awe- inspiring phases of the subject as psychoanaly- sis and naturally they got all wrought up about their regressions and Comdexes. When the renowned psychiatrist. Professor Lebdullah Freudson-Brilllng came to town and opened a consulting room for the mentally unfit and the intellectually unsettled, all these earnest students rushed in to see him. Now don't misunderstand me. I am not im- plying that they were unfit, unsettled, or un- anything. They all went to be psychoanalyzed. Of course no one ever found out what Professor told them, but it was generally reported that they were most anxious to learn in what field of endeavor they would be most successful. And now comes the exoitlng part of my story. Last night I, too, had occasion to enter Pro- fessor Abdullah Freudson-Brilling s office. No, not because of any mental weakness; merely to collect the rent. My father owns the build- ing. And what do you think? The Professor wasn't in, and to kill the time I read the mag- azines you find in a doctor's offloe. After reading through them, I looked for more mate- rial and all I could find was a blaok-covered notebook at the very bottom of the pile. It was filled with cloeely typed notes. As I was about to close it, I saw, to my amazement, the names of ay classmates. I looked again and discovered that those notes were the Profes- sor' ■ private and genuine opinion of those who had consulted him. I confess it without shame: I read that notebook. And what I found out I oopled down, eo I'd not forget. PHYLLIS A8BURY--hae artistic ability, keen business sense and an understanding of the so- called human race. A dozen years from now she will be a wealthy cosmetician proprietor of the Beautlfler Shoppe, alterations while you wait, an up-to-date shop, combining the arte o f beauty, culture, and plastic surgery. People— men as well as women—will enter looking like 60 and emerge looking like 16. She will become the most famous renovator and face-lifter in the world. WILMA BOGGS—1s a composite type with no in- hibitione and few ideas and loves publicity. She belongs to no type in particular and to all In combining the features of each, with a comely appearance and striking personality. She hae a good strong voice, can elng two entire songp without losing the tune and doesn't mind doing anything no matter how silly so long as she is well paid for it. Ten years from now your favorite motion cathedral will be display- ing huge signs announcing Miss Wllma-America'e Girl Friend 1 n Cinderella's Sandals. Mise Wilma talks, sings, dances, and plays three musical instruments including the vaccuum oleaner. ■ MINNIE JEAN BRADY—is a rare type with a great interest in being prompt and hae a won- derful memory. This manner would express a very efflolent stenographer. Ah—but you are wrong for the Profesaor predicts her as going to be the most famous girl Jockey In the world, she will travel all over the U. 8. A. and meet many prominent people. BOB HEDGES—zhe wonder child of the senior class, not in the sense you would believe but wonders what he will get on the test he didn't study, predicts a very prominent future for himself. Twenty years from now you will see the owner of the World's Fair none other but Bob Hedges. If anyone asked which part of the fair he preferred he would reply enthusiastic- ally, The Bearded Lady. VERLE HUTTON—is a strange ease, troubled by a recurrent dream in which she is a canary bird being chased by a oat. She told me she thought the dream meant that she would be keeper of a pet shop. Quite wrong. She will be a great singer. In 1960 she will be singing the title role of any opera you may name in the Coamopol- it n Opera House and will not recognize her friends. Cheerful, lively IDA LEE KENNEDY will not remain a email town girl but will be one of the most important people of the United States. She will achieve her popularity beoause of her ability to decide what she wants and go after it and because she is not afraid to say what she thinks. She will become famous as a speaker and eventually she will run for the presidency of the United States. She will not win but in the following eleotion, however, her eldeet daughter will be candidate for president and will win. This mill be only the beginning of the unending String of women presidents and in all the history books Ida Lee will be called The first woman to run for office as Presi- dent. ■ BETTY KINGSLEY—takes great interest in her work and will continue to improve her abilities as stenographer in Rosedale, Tennessee. Be- cause her employer of that city will not have enough employment to keep her busy she will use all her spare moments to increase ■peed in writing short-hand. After much prao- tioe she will enter one of the famous Gregg Short-hand Teste and win the'coveted diamond for talking dictation at 200 words a minute. Betty will obtain the position as private sec- retary to the President. LAWRENCE KLAUZER—is not a modern type. He is persevering, not easily dieoouraged and never gives up. He will find it hard to fit into the life of today but one great opening awaits him. In this great age of endurance contests, he will become the champion of cham- pions. By 1960 he will have become America's champion pole sitter, dancer, nonstop aviator, radio listener, bicycle rider, pretzel eater and mammy singer. He will be the world's un- disputed swimmer, as, once dropped in,he will •wlm back and forth until hie manager remembers to oome and fish him out. FRANK LABREE—the always alert enthusiastic oaptain of the famous Bulldogs from Ekal ka, Montana, will gain fame as the years roll by, as one of the greatest athletes the world has ever seen. He will star in football, basket- ball, and swimming. He will earn the title of •Wlmming Champ by swimming the English Channel. MAX LOEHDING—has a quiet disposition which will oause him to further hie interests along (oontlnued next page)

SENIOR Upon behalf of my client, the class of 1945, of Carter County High School, City of Ekalaka, State of Montana, U. S. A., I have called you together upon the solemn and serious occasion, to listen to her last will and testament and to receive from her dying hand the few gifts she has to bestow in her last moments. Cutting so rapidly loose from life and find- ing so many things of gigantic proportions to be attended to before the end should come upon her, realizing at the same time that she has no longer any time left to spend in cultivation of her own virtues, she did collectively and in- dividually do her best to distribute wisely un- to those who will make the best use of such gifts she has In her power of bestow, the tal- ents that have served her so faithfully these four years. These are her decisions, as at last defini- tely arrived at through very deliberate consid- eration. We, the class of 1945, in 22 individual parts, give and bequeath to our beloved Princi- pal W. C. Rowley, our sincere affection, our deepest reverence, our heartiest gratitude, and the whole unlimited wealth of our eternal mem- ory. In an attempt at partial payment for all that he has done for us during our long years at Carter high, we make over to him, here and now, a heavy mortgage on our future In the great Unknown Beyond. It shall be his to watch every step of our upward and onward flitting, to note each trail, each attempt, each victory, each success and honor that we may achieve in the arena of the world and to acoept for him- self, as interest on our deathless debt, every honor, knowing that is all due to his faithful instructions. We give and bequeath to the dear faculty of Carter County high school, who have been our instructors in all the wisdom of the ages a sweet and unbroken succession of restful nlgnts and peaceful dreams. No longer need to lie a- wake through the long watches of the night to worry over the uncertainty of whether this one is doing her English, or that one will have her shorthand in the fifth period, or the other one will have read his history, and can recite without his book open. It has been a hard strain on them, for seniore are said to be at all times and under all conditions difficult to manage. But they have all done their duty, and verily, now shall they have their well-earned reward. We give and bequeath to the Junior class our well-known nerve which they will need next year, and sill the questions in our American history tests. We believe an examination like history repeats itself, and the answer never owned entirely have long since been mislaid by us and are not included in this legacy. To our good friends, the sophomore class, we leave our patience. It will be found useful as the only means by which they can endure the Juniors. Freshman, soon to be sophomores we leave them the intelligence we have gained during our four long years at Carter high. This gift is rather small so use it generously in order to make it last till you are seniors. For the coming freshman class, we leave our ability for at least half who start to become seniors, we leave but little to this class, be- WIL L cause we took us so long to learn. Individual bequests, are but small but we hope they may be accepted not as worthless things lavishly thrown away beoause we can no longer keep them, but as valuable assets to those who may receive them, and a continual re- minder of the generosity of here displayed in our and full bestowal. PHYLLIS ASBURY leaves to Floyd Bailey her ability to decorate the BROADCASTER. We know Floyd will eucoeed, due to interest he has shown during the year. WILMA BOGGS leaves with Helen Rozdal her constant giggle and hope that Helen will find the funny side of life as Wilma has.

artful linea. When Wilma Boggs haa attained fane as an actress, Max will be efcarting on a oareer of painting. Many of hie palntlnge will beoome world famous because of the delicate ooloring he has affected. HaTe you noticed that lively, peppy student In the class of '45? Tes, sir, you re right. It s none other than FERN MCCAMISH. In 20 years you will see in Bob Hedge's World, the famous lady trapere performer swinging In the air 500 feet above her net and dives down to catch a swing 26 feet from the ground. MADLON PEABODY—one of the most pleasant people to consult me, says the Professor, will not become famous In the world but will fit in- to her place in life with ease. This young lady will work as a telephone operator in the Denver, Colorado, exchange. She will take the cake, when she finally chooses her mate,who will be right from Hollywood and the envy of all women. DAN PETERSON—a most energetic boy Is one of the newest types on this old-fashioned earth. He was really born a hundred years too soon but now that he's here he will make head-lines. He Is of that clear to come that leave their wives to the drudgery of life In order to free them- selves to provide entertainment for the public. He will be the most remarkable tap dancer the world has ever seen. The National Television Network will present him every night for the world to see and he will be No. 1 pin-up boy of his time. ANNA ROZDAL—is now a quiet person but when she has attended Cupid College, a famous school for women, she will enter into her life work as a public speaker. She will attain distinction In all parte of this world as well as Mars and the Moon being well versed on all problems. It will make no difference to her whether she is arguing for or against but one day she will meet her iratch whom she later marries. ELEANORE SCHWEIQERT—a quiet, dark haired, brown-eyed senior promisee a very successful future for herself. Twenty years from now you will find Eleanore achievelng her wealth by be- coming the greatest Interior decorator 1 n Chicago. Later she Is world famous for her decorating and goes to the White House to de- corate. A few years later she will go to Paris. ERVIN SCHWEIOERT—who because of hie ability to mix with others and knowledge he obtained while In service will find his position In the political world. He will work for and obtain and eminent position as ambassador to Slam, one of the most prominent countries of the world. Here he will become the president of that coun- try and promote Its welfare to the interest of all. BOB SENRUD—is a stolid, listless, slow-mov- ing chap who will never display speed or ani- mation, can be trusted implicitly never to hur- ry. He will find the proper position in life early. He will become a plumber's assistant, the one who goes back for the monkey-wrench and can't find it. He will continue In that rest- ful occupation until he dies of old-age. JULIA RAE STRAIN—that distinguished piano- let of today will become a famous vocalist, al- so, in year6 to come, but with a very different position. This person of reknown will gain recognition in France, as the chief hog-caller for King Portguae. She will be at height of her fame when in 1987 her booming voice will carry acrose 30 miles of woodland calling in the pork needed for the grand Golden Jubilee in honor of the king. ERMA LEA TAYLOR—la one of those people who doesn't especially care to work but when it is necessary she is very Industrious about it. She is destined to beoome a oook for a well-to-do family in Baltimore. One day while cleaning fresh oysters she will suddenly come upon a large pearl. It is real and government officials report that it is the largest pearl in the world. Erma Lea will immediately become rich and she will buy a very fine house to live in. Very seldom you will find her home because she will make her hobby seeing the world be- cause she is not compelled to work for a living any more. LORRAINE THOMPSON—a nervous, inquisitive type, will be a reporter and because of an in- tense interest in everybody's business and a cast-iron nerve which enables her to penetrate where she is not wanted, without embarrassment, she will be an excellent one. In ten years time she will be a natural celebrity known as Princess Pry of the Miles City Star. She will be so alert that she will interview a criminal while he is commltlng the crime and get tomor- row' e news last week. SARAH WALTER—is a quiet type, domestic and capable, but with slight inferiority complex, due to the unfortunate fact that onoe she re- ceived only second prize in an international bread-baking contest. Ten years from now, she will be the happy wife of a prominent business- man with the nicest home with the best meals in town. She will undoubtedly grow fat as the re- sult of eating her own cooking, but she will always be a cheerful and model housekeeper. Her husband will probably become bored and e- lope with the cashier in a tea shop, but I can- not be sure. ALBERTA YATES—belongs to a great body of people who have a superiority complex. Evi- dently someone when she was very young praised her excessly for something she did and she has never recovered. Her delight and skill In getting others to work while she watohes and her ability to answer all questions sometimes correctly, to say nothing of the snappy and forceful manner in which she orders other people around, point to but one calling—that of the school teacher. Fifty years from now, gray haired, perhaps, and a trifle wrinkled but young at heart and still going strong she will be found in Carter High School bossing not only her own pupils but everyone. Now that your anxieties as to your futures are all at rest, it Is only fair to tell you that I learned this morning that Professor Ab- dullah Freudson-Brllllng is not a psyohiatrist at all, but an escaped lunatic from the state asylum.
