Class Prophecy Bob Snell spends all his time at his hobby —Reading Burma Shave Signs. Jim Klutz is giving jitterbug lessons at the Odd Fellows Hall. Pauline Hippensteel decided her ambi- tion was to become a nurse, so she has started a nursery and cares for handsome trees and shrubs. Marlene Schroll is still winning high honors of distinction. Only recently she was awarded the Pulitizer Prize in re- cognition of her superb painting called Covered With Snow. Everything is white, and if one does not have the artistic sense, he might think it a blank piece of canvas. Tom Dillman is a famous doctor at John Hopkins Hospital. He also is memorizing his 274 th dictionary to see that his patients never mispronounce or misuse a word. Theron Rupley and Ronald Metzger are those two world famous instructors of that never dying language, Pig Latin. Ronald, by the way, is a great threat to the neon in- dustry. It seems his face has a tendency to light up with no expense involved. Virginia Brandenburg has retired from her appointment as Head Drum Majorette of the Marching 100 at I.U. and is now co- owner of the Speedking Racer Company, south of this city. Jack Kissinger has brought honor to the United States by winning the high jump at the Olympics. Norma Graham has joined the Royal Canadian Mounted Police in the pursuit of a—man. Charles Gibbs is a bell hop at the Sheller Hotel and is quite often left holding the bag. Marie Betten is the Dean of Women at Manchester College. Her job was obtained after the high recommendation given to her after her portrayal of Miss Watkins in the senior class play. Lee Dick Reiken received his Junior G-man badge last week; he's still waiting for his Dick Tracy gun. Coleen Warren is now playing 1st chair French horn with Phil Spitalni's All Girl Or- chestra while not playing her electric guitar with the Melody Rangers. Don Mosher is president of Boy's State at Indianapolis. He has the job of investigat- ing all government books to see if the laws are legal and apply to the rules used at Boy's State. When each piece had been fitted into its proper place and the globe had regained its shape, I suddenly noticed something written across the bottom of this mysterious globe which read: Best Wishes from the Chester Panthers.

Class Prophecy Recently, I had a strange experience. A mysterious package was sent to the Class of '49 through the mail. It was a gradua- tion gift. When I got this package at the Post Office, I rushed to the school and started up the stairs. Just as 1 reached the top, I stumbled and fell and the package dropped to the floor. The wrapper was torn from it and the gift broke into many pieces. I started to pick up the pieces when I noticed some writing on each piece. I found to my surprise that this was a crystal globe. It was broken in such a manner that on each piece was the name of a 1949 class member and what he would be doing in the future. This appeared to be very in- teresting, so I sat down and put the globe together again. This is what I found on the globe: Wayne Clark, having acquired his knowl- edge from his high school experience of working on the railroad, is now engineer on the Flatwheel Special, a slow freight. Carolyn and Marilyn Garrison are now seen in current magazines with the ques- tion— Which one has the Toni? Betty Brandenburg is president of the Fannie Farmer Candy Company. She secured her position by having preliminary training at the Morris 5 10 at North Man- chester. John Penrod is professor of Shakespear- ean drama at Oxford University, while not creating blue ribbon recipes for yeast rolls and angel food cakes. Louella Blocher, better known now as Mrs. Eugene Clear, is kept quite busy with her many household tasks. Janet Metzger is working with Charlie Fleck on his chicken farm. She is trying to discover which came first, the chicken or the egg. Darletta Cox is manager and chief super- visor of the Servia Bucher shop. Carl Bechtold is the present owner of the Fox at Indianapolis. Lois Cunningham has secured the posi- tion of janitor at Spartan Hall, better known as the boys' dorm at M. C. Bruce Pottenger is chief interior decorator of the Quality Baker Shop. Barbara Barker, now Mrs. Dick Piper, is busy raising her third set of twin boys. Their father is hoping to have his own na- tionally famous basketball team known as The Piper Panthers. Gene Metzger is famous out West for his drink called the Prairie Martini . It is a glass of formaldehyde with a black widow spider riding the olive. Ann Snavely, the name by which we used to know her, is now playing the lead- ing lady in the dramatization entitled The Gump Family. Compliments of J. W. Strauss and SoSn Pa e Sixteen
