SENIOR CLASS PROPHECY by Anna Marie Menefee and June Armstrong As the clouds of the future draw aside for for a brief moment, W e are permitted a short glance into the future, and the sights which meet our eyes are many and wonderful. These are some of the things which we see or hear; We learn that Jean Adams, Hollywood Glamour Girl, has thrown over her leading man, Tom Wilson, because he was being seen too often with that perennial debutante, Lou Mae Anderson. Probably no one would recognize our own Jack Murray in his black-face makeup, which he wears while playing with the well- known proTesional basketball unit, the Broodway Clowns. We read that Jim Sutton has recaptured the the critics hearts in his latest ingenue role in the “Rover Boys on Broadway. We also see Lawrence Key throwing off his tennis car- eer to settle down on his wife’s plantation in Texas. Robert Neutzman is growing daily more sophisticated in his well-established position as usher in the Corona Theater. Joe Ganahl has been digging ditches to keep in traming and earn some money for a happv future. Ellen Friestad is also saving pennies. Maybe she and Joe have something in common. Sam Amns is seen on a horse. S’nce Mr. W ley is teaching philosophy at Bryn Mawr, Louis Keller has taken a position as his assistant, in order to be near his idol. At present they are engaged in collaborating on a philosophical treatise to be entitled, How to Win a Wife and Keep Her.” Mary fane Copley, feminist leader, and Margaret Dixon, head of the New Conserva- tives, have joined forces after spending a night together in the Corona City Jail as a penalty for their demonstration at Sixth and Main last week. Barbara Root has left Mack Robinson for a newer and brighter flame in the person of Th oms Barber, drummer for the Hoosier Hotshots. Mack has joined the society of B. R. X. (Barbara Root’s ex’s). Marion Leonard has replaced our local librarian, and while she is not busy chasing high school students out of the children’s reading room, is to be found consuming tor- rid love novels. Because of a sad misunderstanding be- tween Barbara Claypool and Delbert Cleve- land, the latter has entered the House of David, let his hair grow, and is discarding his shoes. That strong silent woman-killer, Elden Veach is doing alright financially by giving music lessens to society matons. It is rum- ored that he teaches overtime at the palatial home of Maxine Moore. The Greene sisters, Juandell and Anna- belle are still dancing for the Corona High G ' rl’s League. Lorraine Conklin was recently seen being fitted for her new uniform as Sweetheart of the Corona R. O. T. C. Raymond Harris, contrary to all expecta- tions has entered the ministry and is rapidly establishing a reputation for his dissertations on Christian Work in Foreign Lands.” It is just a coincidence that Virginia Norton is doing missionary work in China Bill House has become a man of the wide open spaces. He is now living on an isolated ranch in Arizona, and employs a large num- ber of cowboys, chief of whom is Willie Hen- derson. who inaugurated the use of Fords in- stead of horses. Harold Sullivant has gone Bohemian in a big wav after the success af his latest surreal- ist of Wendell Ogden, whose face, they say, lends itself admirably to this type af art. A late news item headlines Miss Gypsy Rose Seelye as Billy Rose’s latest “find.” Thev sav a cheering mob of ex-classmates packs the house nightly. The Corona High Alumni Association has avoided all discus- s ; on in regard to including Miss Seelye in the the 1960 Class Night reunion program. The notorious Leland Pretty Boy” Cole, whos pugilistic record has gained him wide fame, has recently been employed as head bouncer for Hardy Kilday’s “Hot Spot” night club. Tubby Tilson, better known as numbe 371 has recently escaped from Alcatraz. A na- t : on wide search for the missing convict is be- ing conducted bv F. B. I. Chief Edgar (Bob) Otto The search is especially intense around the -outh-eastern portion of Corona. We h ear that Marion Hendrickson has a- bendoned her art career. We wonder why. Word has iurt come that Wesley Schneider has just bought a new farm in Norco, and is now engaged in trying to win a mistress for the mansion he has built on it. We hear that Maudie Clark, belle of “starvation acres” may be th’nkmg of taking on the position, for she was recently seen buying dimity cur- ta : ns inBeryl Brown’s Norco Emporium. Ben Dyer, latest and most noted Corona C : tv Attorney, employs Jeannette Shepard a- his personal ” (very) secretary. Jeannette tells us she is “very happy in her work, and intends to hold on to the position as long as she keeps v hat it takes. Charles Sutter, eternal flirt, has changed h : ? mind so often that he has finally lost his looks, and now can’t even rate Alberta Tib- bett. lune Armstrong and Marian Hendrickson, who have been pals for so long, have at last come to the parting of the ways. We sus- pect that Bob Gehring is the third corner of the triangle that has caused the rift.

SENIOR CLASS HISTORY by Anna Marie Menefee The class of ' 38 entered high school four years ago as a scared, green little group of freshmen. They had enthusism and original- ity, though, and proved it by overcoming their stage fright sufficiently to win first place with Barbara Root’s original class skit the night of Lemonv.lle. Under the able leadership of president Joseph Ganahl, the freshmen suc- ceeded in being well represented in almost every school activity. Six of our class mates became members of the scholarship society. Freshman girls also formed a large part of the membership of the Girl Reserves. Lc- land Cole was a most satisfactory executive board representative. Mary Joy Jameson and Jeannette Shepard upheld our reputation on the school speedball team, while we Freshies were well represented on the girl’s tennis team by Maudie Clark, Margaret Dixon, Barbara Root, and Anna Marie Menefee. Freshman boys were outstanding also. Notable among these were Lawrence Key and Billy House. Gaining rapidly in self-confidence, mem- bers of the class of 1938 were to be found in prominent positions in almost every school ac- iv ' ties included participation in such organiza- tivity during their Sophomore year. Their act- tions as Girl Reserves, Hi-Y hobby clubs, G. A. A. girl’s pep club, the A Capella Choir, girls and boys glee clubs, and in various school sports. President Kenneth Kilday showed ath- letic promise, and Delbert Cleveland and Bob Otto became our brightest stars by making the varsity football team as Sophs. Cleveland also proved his athletic prowess by entering varsity basketball and track that year. Joe Ganahl, Kenneth Kilday, Wilbur Joy, Wilbur Tomer, Ted Anderson, and Terry DeBeal al- so showed promise of future athletic fame. When we of the class of 1938 gained the rank of upper-classmen, there was no limit to our self-esteem. We find Juniors, led by Joe Ganahl again, represented in all fields of school endeavor. Our first, and probably most important act’vity was the presentation of the annual Junior play. We chose The Thirteenth Chair, a most successful mystery play. Barbara Root, Mary Joy Jameson, Virginia Norton, Robert Tilson, Terry DeBeal and Leland Cole deserve especial praise for their capablv portrayed leading roles. Two Juniors, Wilbur Tomer end Wilbur Joy were vice-president and secretary-treasurer, respec- t vely, of the lettermans ' club. Barbara Root served admirably as editor-in-chief of the Cor- onal, with efficient aid from Terrv DeBeal, Jeannette Shepard, Anita Seelye, Ellen Fr’e- stad, Margaret Dixon. and Leland Cole. The business of the Ko-Hi-Nur staff was ably man- aged by Wendell Ogden, and his assistant Bill House. Mary Joy Jameson, Marion Hendrick- son, and Maudie Clark held offices in the Girls’ league Cabinet, while June Armstrong and Jack Murray represented the Juniors on the executive board. Members of the class of 1938 also entered prominently into sports, for Junior lettermen were; in tennis, Lawrence Key, Joe Ganahl, and Bill House. Ted And- erson and Wesley Schneider proved their ab- ility in baseball, while “Turk Joy shone in track. In girls ' sports, Virginia Norton, Mary Jov Jameson, June Armstrong, and Jeannette Shepard were outstanding. As Seniors guided by Robert Tilson, the class of 1938 has ample right to feel proud of its record. Our student body president, Jean- nette Shepard, with vice-president Kenneth Kilday, secretary Maudie Clark, and treasurer Lorraine Conklin, have left a record in execu- tive ability which will be difficult to equal. The Seniors contributed several outstanding actors to the school play in March. Notable among these players; were James Pate, Harold Sullivant, Terry DeBeal, and Lou Mae Ander- son. For the first time, our class was represented on the debate squad. This was done by Mar- garet Dixon and Anna Marie Menefee. Outstanding football players were the Sen- iors Captain Kenneth Kilday, Wilbur Tomer, Wilbur Joy, and Jack Murray. Among bas- ketball s famous we rank high this year’s cap- tain, Jack Murray, Joe Danieri, Turk” Joy, and Joe Ganahl as well as the B stars Wen- dell Ogden and Wesley Schneider. Wilbur Joy. Terry DeBeal, and Jack Murray held up most of the Senior honors in track, while Ted Anderson and Wilbur Tomer showed their old technique on the base-ball field. Lawrence Key, Wesley Schneider, and Bill House were outstanding in tennis. In girls’ tennis we find the same four that began as Freshmen; Maudie Clark, Margaret Dixon, Barbara Root, and Anna Marie Menefee. Jeannette Shepard, Mary Joy Jameson.Maudie Clark, and Lorraine Conklin shared honors in other sports. G.A.A. was commendably led by the pres- ident, Virginia Norton while Barbara Root made an excellent Girls League president. Thoms Barber, Robert Neutzman, Wendell Ogden, Virginia Bess, and Raymond Harris still formed the mainstays of our excellent school orchestra. Hi-Y was ably led by presi- dent Leland Cole. Ko-Hi-Nur editor-in-chief Ted Anderson gave us a most satisfactory paper, while Ellen Friestad, as editor-in-chief of the Coronal was responsible for a very ex- cellent annual.
