time the officers are: President, Gerald Whittaker; Vice-President, Mary McClorey; Treasurer, Dick Wallace; and Secretary, Tom Schwaderer with Miss Hunt as their advisor. Parties seem to be the main objective of this group but now the picture is fading so quickly draw the third card. I dropped the card on the table and the what she was seeing. This time it was Tom Whittaker, Vice-President; McClorey, Treasurer, and she said, “Is this a dinner Suey dinner in candlelight. Own can be seen by the ready to place the card on mysterious garden filled besides the Prom “May put on for the Seniors as gypsy picked it up as if to make sure of Schwaderer for President; Gerald Joyce Harris, Secretary; Mary Mr. Cardew as advisor. Ah, I see ? But of course, a Chop Now a play, “A Mind of Her wise one. Just as she was the table with the others a the view what else could it be Day Romp' which the Juniors a farewell to them. Should I take this fourth and last card or should I let the still remaining card the still untold future be, and wait as most people do? Three years had been unfolded in the few minutes I had been in the fortune telling booth and now I hesitated to see what the fourth and last card, would bring to me. Curiosity getting the better of me I drew the fourth and last card, with trembling hands and a frightened anxious heart I handed the card to the outstretched hand of the gypsy. It revealed Ron Posluszny as President of the Senior Class, John Agar, Vice-President; Joyce Harris, Secretary, and Bonnie Benkelman, Treasurer, with Mr. Holmberg as a helpful advisor. “Quickly go on I urged as she hesitated. Is it a Hollywood First Night Show or a Senior Play? It's hard to tell as all the actors are doing such a good job at making “Strictly Formal an entertaining play”, she said. “Now I see a table laden with cakes, pies, cookies and many other inviting foods, the Seniors must be at it again, this time with a Bake Sale to raise money for their trip. “Oh, what is this I see ? I never before have seen a picture like this one in the cards. It seems to be charts of the Seniors, a Senior Poll of some kind with Alex Salas and Bonnie Benkelman the two most popular Seniors, and Barbara Morell and John Ellis the class brats. As that picture fades out many other faces that are outstanding in the '52 class appear. My what an ambitious group of students, first dances, then skating parties, plays, bake sales, a movie, concessions at the games and now maga- zine sales just to make money for a trip. This trip really must be something to make students work so hard for it. And it is, for the Seniors are going to New York. Now I see a prom but as the picture fades a group of anxious Seniors in caps and gowns re- place it. It must be Senior Swing Out. Quickly the fading picture is replaced by a speeding train and the 1952 Seniors are finally getting their reward for all their work as it races to New York City. That being the last card I grabbed my coat and left to face the future as it would come. So, too, with the closing of school we, the Seniors, will take our coats and leave Cass City High School to face the future. It will be with keen regret that we leave CCHS for it has grown to mean very much to all of us in the last four years and shall be missed by everyone. 17

I was curious about the future and I could wait no longer to find out what was in store for me. The room was a dark, frightening room and I could scarcely see the gypsy who sat in the middle of the room. I was asked to draw four cards and from these she would read my future. As my trembling hand drew the first card she began to talk. I see a large brick school building and over 100 bright- ened Freshmen entering its doors. The students are choosing leaders and Dick Wallace is President with Gerald Whittaker as Vice-President: Bonnie Benkelman, Treasurer: Tom Schwaderer as Secretary and Mr. Parker, Advisor. “Ah, but now the picture is changing for the school doors are wide open and everyone is leaving for vacation. Three cards still remain so I pulled out the second card. She began again “Vacation is now over and the school is again filled.” I see people voting again, this 16
