Class Prophecy MARY JANE FRANK, '48 ln this atomic age, we with our infinitesimal minds cannot quite depict just what will happen to our classmates in their future years but, hold your hats kids, it is always fun to sit back in an easy chair or stretch oneself lazily before the fire and be carried away by some supernatural power to that magic fairylancl we all call dreamland. So let's just for the fun of it, Eat a couple pieces of candy and a few pickles, since they are so enjoyable, for the purpose of hastening the reaction, of course. Whatls that? You say you're thirsty? O.K., have some milk. All set? Ah! I always have to stretch myself out before the fire. It makes me feel so lazy and sleepy. So as the sand-man tip-toes softly into the room and sprinkles- dust in our eyes, we dreamers are whirled away to a lofty city in the clouds and the Hrst human we see happens to be Roger Cramer, who is now a tiller of the soil, planting his crops. Further on our way we see the farm of Melvin Chronister who is now a swine raiser. Mrs. Chronister, the former Victoria Hoare, is his loving and faithful wife who manages the family with the greatest of care. Further on down the tree-lined dream, pardon us, we mean street, we see the beauty salons of Gladys Fourhman and Doris E. Walker. Right across the street is the general store owned and managed by jack Barbehenn who guarantees not to please or your money back. just as we near the corner of the street what do we see across the park, this side of the lake, and just a few feet from a railroad track? You guessed it-a baseball game. As we advance closer, very cautiously that is, we see none other than Lawrence Roser, known as Sas to all of us, behind the batter and wearing a catcher's mitt. We are told by an interested bystander that he sometimes catches the ball. And here comes the pitch straight from the paws of that all-American pitcher, Curtis Parrish. And the man is out, roars the umpire. Well so much for that. Pardon the expression but, does anybody need a haircut? If so you can get it done at Richard Graf's Barber Shop just across the corner from the hospitalg by the way, Jake cuts the fellows' hair before they are admitted to the hospital where those good-looking nurses Lovie Tracy and Lucreta Senft perform their many duties with the utmost care. Upon entering the hospital we come into a long corridor and stand before a bronze plate. Surveying the plate we find Clyde Miller and Mary jane Frank are among the staff of surgeons at the hospital. Leaving the hospital, we looked OK. to them so they let us go, we go on our way down the street to the residential section of the city and we are told by some bystanders that Louise and Melvin live in the house on the hill, and right next door live Tronie and Bill. Upon reaching the more thickly settled section of the city we enter a beautifully struc- tured stone church, yes, you heard correctly, we said church, where we find none other than James Miller leaning over the pulpit dishing out with that Don't do as I do but do as l sayf' stuff. - Not far from the church is a new modern high school where Doris NI. Walker is a teacher of Dramatics and Anna Snyder's cheery smile greets us from a classroom where she is a teacher of language. Driving down the street it suddenly dawns upon us that we are running low in gasoline. We drive up to a garage where none other than Harold Dubs is the loyal proprietor. As we once again go along our way we leave the city and begin to travel for miles seeing nothing but black space stretching endlessly into the horizon. We snap on our television set, which we have been fortunate enough to have installed in our car, and learn that Daniel Roser is the television expert who takes pictures of those- well you kids all know Danny-those gorgeous models.

Last Will and Testament of the Senior Class The senior class of 1948 A. D. of the Codorus Township High School, County of York and State of Pennsylvania. Being of well-crammed brain, memory, and super-efficient understanding, do make and publish this our last will and testament. Hereby we revoke and make void all former wills by us at any time heretofore made. To the faculty we bequeath orchids, and say Thanks for a job well done, in hopes that there may be some repayment for all of their time, efforts and patience. To the junior class we give room 2 with its trimmings and also the honor of becoming sophisticated seniors, To the sophomores and freshmen we hope for them to become upperclassmen and hope they will take advantage of all the privileges given to them so freely. To our community we hope that they may profit by our having been here for these four short school years. We give the technique of fumigating the building fbut don't kill anything but the teachers' nervesj to Francis Sterner who will take the place of Richard Brenneman. To any girl we will Senft's knack of doing homework for two because Bob usually has some leisure time. To Dennis McWilliams we give Melvin and John I-lamme's whiskers so that he may have some hope of becoming a man. To John Newcomer we will l-larold Dubs, ability to skate. Breaking one's arm in the attempt is very discouraging. To Dwight and Lamar we will a daily bus line from Jefferson to Hanover. To Freida Lehr we give James' splendid speaking ability so she too can have the pleasure of cashing some debate checks. To Elva and Dean we present the hrst publication of Victoria and Sonnyis book of De- voted Lovef' Lovie gives her skating ability to Delores Rohrbaugh. Not mentioning anything of the man. Pearl bequeaths her personality to Lillian LeFevre. Lillian, boys fall for that, so be careful. Doris M. Walker wills her dramatic ability to Marguerite Warner, especially in operettas. To Charles Tyson we will Sas Roseris baseball mitt and a superfluous liquid called hold iem. Doris E. Walker gives her back seat in French to Betty Wildasin. To Joyce Runk and Margaret Nafe we bequeath a brand new cook-book. Practice will make perfect, girls. To Jim Price we present Danny Roser's seat in Chorus. Jim, give the same service as Roser. To Betty Bohr and Grace Thoman we will Lois Kitts' and Mary Shaller's job as- being officers of the Man-I-laters Association. Remember, Faithfulness, is their motto. To Frederick Trump we give Clyde's hot trumpet and all the jazz available. fContinued on Page 50, i243

Finally reaching another city, we stop at a corner drug store, where Gladys Shearer is a clerk, to phone back to earth to find out how our kirh and kin are getting along. As the receiver is lowered the voice of Lois Kitts is recognized almost immediately. She tells us that Mary Shaffer is also there and together they operate the switchboard. Traveling on further down the street we are informed that behind the revolving door in the immense marble struc- ture on the corner is the insurance firm of Robert Rebert where Joyce Runk and Margaret Nafe are his faithful secretaries and Margaret Rudisill is his loyal accountant. Again driving down the street we pass a gas station and we see a huge tractor-trailer truck and as we come closer to it, it becomes evident that it is the property of Krebs and Stauffers Transit between Earth and Mars. Not having time to stop and chat with our chums, Hey! who woke me up? Oh, it seems Pve fallen from the chair, oh well, sofais better anyway. Now where were we? Oh! we were driving down the street and snapping on our television set when we are informed that it has suddenly gone hay-wire. fBless itj We stop at the first thing, or we should say person, we see and we are surprised to see Marion Hunt and Erma Kaltreider. They are clerks in a large department store. We ask them if they know of anyone who can fix our blessed television set and they inform us of Raymond Shaffer so we go to his shop, what do ya' know, we can follow directions, and he fixes it, guaranteed not to work or our money back. Raymond informs us that Robert Stine, now a great scientist, is designing a rocket which he plans to use for his trip to the moon. Good luck Stiney--hope you find her-the lady in the moon, we mean. Ah! sweet essence of the country, we exclaim as we pass the blacksmith shop of Marlin Lentz and it doesn't surprise us a teeny bit to see Melvin Hamme standing in front of the horse while Marlin shoes him-don't get excited kids, we mean the horse of course. We stop there for a few minutes and they tell us that Dean Glatfelter has now taken over the old man's work as a country school teacher. He also informs us that john Hamme is a prosperous farmer and that Pearl Meckley now operates a beauty salon in the heart of a very promising city-Glenville I believe he said and it doesn't surprise us one bit to learn that Richard Brenneman is now the driver of one of Krebs, and Staulferis Transits from Earth to Mars. Going on further all we are able to see is space and spots before our eyes. Then we hear a crash and a moan and then our eyes open and we learn that we are now nowhere than in our own little living room before the fire, which has long since gone out-and the crash? Oh! that, Torie's always dropping something. That was the plate, the dear little plate, that held our candy and pickles, that are always guaranteed to give you dreams either good or bad. Now as to whether this dream was good or bad is left for you to decide. The only thing we agreed upon was to never, never, again eat candy, pickles and milk before settling down before the fire because the results are more than we can bear, ' We remain your loyal friends who will not be responsible for any possible broken or failure-to-run hearts, neither do we guarantee the contents to come true and sincerely hoping you all realize this was done with malice for all and mercy for none, including ourselves, sign off and hope to be seeing you all at the corner of Moonbeam and Star Avenue in Dreamland.
