THE ANNUAL R,EFLECTOB 33 -of I+ Class Prophecy T WAS a hot sultry night in June, 1942. Two suspicious looking figures were stealthily creeping down the corridor of Hotel Maitland, New York City, peek- ing in keyholes. I Looking thru the keyhole of Room No. 1 we see what might be termed massed hu- manity, for there before our very eyes are five of the largest men we have ever seen. Upon close inspection we find them to be old school mates of ours, namely: Joseph Horan, Jerry Cstler, Roy Esler, Geo. Hahn, and Malcolm Terwilliger. Room No. III. Here we find Donald Solomon fa successful business manj read- ing the paper. Glancing at the headlines we see, Miss Sally Howell, editor of The Daily Blah, resigns post to wed Chas. Brennan. Well, that's a surprise, Read- ing the article we find that Elizabeth Kim- ball will succeed Miss Howell as editor. Congratulations! Turning over the page we notice the society column by Misses Brown, Bennet, and Carmen. Reading the society column we see that parties were given by Mr. and Mrs. Whalin -fVirginia Woodsl, Mr. and Mrs. Fred Davis fAlice Chinneryl, and Mr. and Mrs. Al. Grigsby CJane Vvieneckej Turning the next page we- run across the gossip column by Elizabeth lWalter Winchelll McDonald and Wilma Jean CO. O. Mclntirel Miller. We also notice that sometime next week Mardelle Westrom is going to haul George Wesolek up to the altar. We spent an enjoyable evening at the Opera House last night listening to H. Rich- ter and Kathleen Kean. Just about this time the house detective Stan Clift, finds us and kicks us out. Walk- ing across ParkAve. we are nearly run over bya speeding auto. BettyKrohn isstill learn- ing how to drive. Glancing at the electric sign board on the theater across the road we see that Marg Kerr and Marg Piersall are starred in a song and dance revue. Walking past the radio store we stop and listen to the Drooper Dubs program featuring E. Michela, B. Jones, and M. Seaman, success-A ors to Clara, Lu, 'n Em. Just then a police- officer,no less than Willis Billmier,reminds that a business section is no place to loaf. Moving on to the park, we meet two old friends of ours, Dan McNiven, who teaches the boys how to ride horses at the Amsterdam Military Academy, and Jack Wander who teaches English at the same Academy. The boys have to go, but they leave us a newspaper. Headlines on the sport pages tell us that a meeting of the world's greatest athletes is to be held in Switzerland. W. Hagen L. Cartwright L. Galbraith, M. Clark, M. Garner and A. Dem- binsky will represent the best women ath- letes of the U. S. at Switzerland, and Jack Brennan, Tony Barowski, Sylvester John- son, Bill Inglis, Stanley Kulak, Jack Mur- ray, Vic Srnitn, I. Filary,Will Eager, Jack Thomson, and Stan Haremski, will repre- sent the best men athletes. Glancing at the next article we read that D. Peters, and H. Gibbs defeated Merrill Brown and Dorothy Mitchell to retain the six days riding cham- pionship. Mr. and Mrs. Roy Sands fHelen Fallierl are living in Los Angles, California, Doro- thy Robarge is married to +now who do you think? Mildred Schallhorn teaches' boxing at the Boston Athletic Club. Alice Judd is an acrobatic dancer on the Keath vaudeville circuit, Hazel Miller teaches elocution at the Southern Seminary, Helen Fox teaches Latin at Central Junior High. and Dot Maves and Vera Jean Crandall de- sign costumes for broadway plays. Betty- Graves is a senator fcr the State of Michi- gan, Marie Dulmage is a concert pianist, and Fred Lilja spends most of his time ex- ploring in the African jungles. Art Seltzer, 9A QJOWD Science I I This year in our science classroom we have learned many useful as well as inter- esting things, about 'The Earth on VVhich VVe Live. While studying this unit we made star maps. - Following this we studied about weath- er and climate of the world, providing a good food supply, obtaining a good water supply, protecting ourselves from disease, fire, machines for work, etc. We have notebooks in which we keep articles pertaining to science.

Mildred Clark, 9A. new The Value of an Education Name? Bob Booth. Education? 9th grade. What kind of work do you do? I-I don't know any trade. Can't use you. Next. Bob turned and left the factory in Detroit where he was applying for a posi- tion. Three weeks later Bob found a job unloading cargo. After working there three weeks he heard the boss say to the superintendent. I will have to fire some of the men. Why? asked the superintendent. Because we are getting in machinery for loading and unloading purposes, replied the boss. Who are you going to fire? Knap, Noise, Whal, Ross, Savage, and Booth. ' ' Why those men? Because they have been the last ones to be hired. Thus Bob found himself out of a job. He walked the street all day look- ing for a job. One day Bob found a card advertising night school, and looking it over he saw items such as, Auto Mechanic, 9512.50 for the course, Pattern making 851400, Printing 31350, Machine Shop Sl3.00, Drafting 15.00, Electricity 31450. Bob kept this card, took it to his room that night and decided to take a course in printing. Six months later Bob looked in the Help Wanted Column and saw, Lino- type Operater wanted. Apply at this ofiice or call Cherry 1-l889. Bob applied for the job and got it. Thirty years lat.er we find Bob sitting in an office with President's Office-Private on the door, and he acknowledges his suc- cess is due to his education. Fred Reidef, 9 A Qfefb The Woodwork Department Rooms C and D run by Mr. Peterson and Mr. Christie respectively, are given over to the teaching of woodwork. The beginners in this class are taught the simple facts of woodwork, while the experienced ones make useful articles for the home. Their products must be painted, so a small paint shop is run in connection with it. Here the boys are taught to paint, stain, shellac, and varnish. This department does it's share of making the play scenery and does it very well. When the ninth grade boys leave the shop they are expected to know the following things: how to plane, saw, square, chisel, and sand a board, how to use differ- ent wood-working tools and be able to pass a written examination on all the above. Mr. Christie is an expert boat builder and is teaching many of the boys the art of boat building. Junior Retting, 9A
