Prophecy While in Brooklyn one day, I picked up a paper, News From the Gutter, and read about the Seniors of 1950. I see some of our seniors are getting to be great people in the United States. That famous Dick Paul and his swing band have recently played in Chicago and presented a very nice program. Mary Louise Clark is on that famous Clark Expedition in Alaska. I'm not quite sure what she is hunting for, but I'm sure she will find it profitable. Peggy Baker is making a fortune at hula dancing and is now at the Havana Club, and speaking of fortunes — lohn Rohrer has made millions, but has just lost everything and is now the official paper collector in North Manchester. If you have any dona- tions, just let John know. The Marburger boys still seem to be in business. Max is the grave-digger of the great establishment, ”U Bring 'Em, We Plant 'Em. Jack is the new Wabash County Cow Chiropractor. By the way, he acquired his position from Dr. Walters! Priscilla Kester is still winning honors with her Golden Saxophone and has just played before a capacity audience at Car- negie Hall. Kenneth Bucher has always been inter- ested in poultry, but it seems he over did it and now he is at Logansport believing firmly that he is an overgrown Leghorn. Lawrence Keaffaber is still singing, and has just been classed as the second Frankie Sinatra with the new look ! And speaking of the new look — Sue Anger has just won the National Dress Designing Contest in New York! Gloria Bolinger, known to us as Gloria Vance, was recently convicted of starving her husband, Ralph Bolinger. The Stanley Schnepp Oil Firm has just constructed a new filling station in the thriv- ing metropolis of Urbana. Pat Hathaway, having become interested in Music and Art, is now teaching private music. It seems Gary Walters is still experiment- ing, but at last he found something useful, his new superatomic, cyclotronic nut cracker! Connie Spann is doing allright now. She is working in a lawyer's office in Chicago. She has it easy though, she sits on his lap while taking dictation! We have another of our classmates in Chicago, too. Dons Lefforge is the head supervisor of the Atom Division in Chicago University. I imagine the world will soon come to an end. Don't you? Robert Walters has just graduated from business college and is now smoking ten cent cigars due to his business. Page Twenty

Prophecy Dick Workman finally got to the end of his career. He is judge of most of the bath- ing beauty contests. There is only one thing wrong — he prefers blondes only! Bob Yentes is the newly elected president of the local Anti-Woman League. He is handling his job nicely. Eunice Hatfield has just started her career of nursing. She was detained for trial be- cause she participated in the class prophecy of 1950. Einstein has really been doing some stiff thinking. He recently announced that Bill Doster was the biggest idiot of the year! Juanita Young seems to be having trouble. She was released from the pen for brutal beating of her husband. Bill, but now she is a form designer in Hollywood. Max Schilling is the manager of the new Fox Theater in New York. Bill Holloway has just perfected a new 'ease fall on roller skates, and believe me, it often comes in handy! Sylvia Young is the seamstress for Holly- wood. She has the job of making all the movie star's clothes. Keith Cripe has just completed The Little Red Book Series and is preparing for the new series of black books. Marilee Boyer is in New York doing sec- retarial work. She is earning scads of money and is looking forward to a bright future. Max Bucher is the newly elected mayor of the metropolis of Servia. The town is really doing things now. Beverly Steller is still singing and is a star in the Metropolitan Opera. Jo Anne Leckrone won the latest beauty contest put on by the A-P-X Fertilizer Com- pany. Wade Bollinger is the head psychiatrist at Logansport. We certainly know what is wrong with people when they go for a trip, now. Trula Penrod put her yodeling to prac- tice and is now singing on station WJJD. Leon Ritenour has completed his school of ministry and is preaching in the back woods. They have constructed a new Crosley with push-back seats for Gilbert Walls. It comes in handy, too!! Charles Swihart, with the bulging biceps and drooping eye-lids, is the national weight lifting champion. At the bottom of the paper, I noticed that the Chester Seniors wished everybody good luck. I laid the paper down thinking of the good times we had in school and hoping that it would also bring happy memories to others. Page Twenty-One
