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

Class Prophecy The Seniors of 52 were a very fine bunch indeed. We knew, without exception that they would all succeed. WeTl tell you some secrets that we hap- pen to know. To find out all about it just read these lines below. John Agar has an office that is very fine indeed. With Joyce Lounsbury as his secretary, no doubt he will succeed. Charlyne Bartz has now become a great professional skater. She and Paul com- pose a team which is definitely a top rater. Bonnie got married just like we all said and just guess who to? That’s right, it’s Fred. As doorman at the Park Sheriton, George B. caused quite a boom. He got his practice from answering the door‘i Mr. O’atley’s room. Dale Buehrly ha settled down never more to roam. He is the proprietor of a bachelors home. ---- Dorothy Butler really does grand. Play- ing base drum in an all girl band. Carolyn Chapin finally got her shorthand we see, for now she’s a top rate secretary. Frank Creason, as you all fehould know, is the proud owner of a burlesque show. Rosemary and Rudy have long been settled down. We find them living on a farm that’s three miles south of town. Virginia S. and Judy D. have a good busi- ness arid you can see. What else have they done but set up a Reducing Agency. Playing on the team, John Ellis made quite a few baskets. Now as an under- taker we find him carrying caskets. When Patty E. became a scientist, she really caused quite a fu y. She is known around the world as a second Madame Currie. Violetta F. must really be brave. As an African missionary souls does she save. Wesley Fredricks was destined to be, a hard boiled General in the Infantry. Grace Ann and Evelyn will be back with us soon, they are just returning from a trip to the moon. Albert Griffon now has a farm, just as good as any. He is now content with his latest wife, who is Annette Pinney. Dale Groth as a photographer was always very able. Now we find him photograph- ing $uch stars as Betty Grable. Joyce flarris went to Texas, so the people say. Gee Joyce, did you have to go so far away ? Charles Hartwick is known in many coun- tries, for writing such blood thirsty murder mysteries. It all started out with just hugs and kisses, now Elwyn and Shirley are called Mr. and Mrs. Maynard was always so little and short he had to stand on his toes. Now he walks on stilts and wears a sign that says, “Eat At Joes’’. He is not for the farm and making hay. Dick Hendrick works in ladies lingerie. In basketball Alvin was on the beam. He is now coach of an all girls team. Senator Keller is a man of respect. It’s always the best man the folks elect. Now Lemoyne, who was known for her grace has just taken Eleanor Roosevelts place. We see Miss Mitchell has finally retired and to take her place Irma L. has been hired. They fly through the air with the greatest of ease, the “Little Sisters’’ on the flying trapeze. 19
