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.

THE SENIOR CLASS by Leland Cole With President Robert Tilson at the helm, Vivian Ashby as first mate, advisors Mr. L. G. Thome and Miss Margaret Jones as second in command, and Wesley Schneider and Mar- jorie Page making up the crew as Secretary and Treasurer, respectively, the Senior Class of 1938 has finally sailed into the port of graduation, thus climaxing one of tht most brilliant careers a senior class has ever en- joyed. As the ship of fate carries us farther and farther from our Alma Mater into other seem- ingly greater worlds even the toughest of us will weaken when we think of the good ol’ days way back when in 1938. — - COfeODflL 19)6
