SENIOR PROPHECY In the year of 1953, We wander back to the gymnasium of old C. C. H. S. to celebrate the tenth anniversary of the graduating class of 1943. Here we meet with several classmates and notice the changes that have occurred during our absence. Let's look around awhile- Oh, I was afraid of that-A. W. Ashley is still an old bachelorg and here is Elza Barbre, now a high class fisherman on Crooked Creek . Quiet Emma Jean Burt is the wife of a big naval officer, and Arthur Charles says he enjoys being the principal of -Crossville High. Some say Joyce Carr is helping Charles Davis avoid paying income taxesg Stinky , by the Way, is teaching a course in English III at C. C. H. S. He took it so llong that he is well learned in it. We always knew Leo Endicott had ambition. He is now the pro- prietor of a pool room and soda fountain. And who is that gentleman? Behold! Crossville's most outstanding lawyer-Kelley Fitzgerald. Joe Graddy has started a dry goods store. He found so many hair rib- bons in the car that it made a profitable business. And Janet Hughes is a WAVE at the Great Lakes Training Sta- tion. Who is that intelligent looking crealture with the horn-rimmed glasses? Why, of all people4Lelonard Perkins, who is teaching Eng- lish IV. Now he can sympathize with Miss Munzenmaier. Yes, we have 'our share of uniforms . . . Here is Glen Piland who is a pilot instructor at some WAFS camp. Who could that be talking so much? Paralee Ridenour, of course, who is the wife of a prosperous farmer and lives near Carmi. Earline Slankard is helping our country 'by working nights in an airplane plant. She says she can take the grave-yard shift quite well. Of all people, Lauretta Schalk! We find that our queen is la com- mercial teacher at L1ockyear's Business College. Wilma Sturm is the prosperous owner of a bird farm. She now helps care for little Robins , and Willard Sturm is the publisher of the famous book, How to Graduate in Four Years . Virginia Way- land gave up the restaurant business land now is the wife of a prosper- ous oil wlorker. Nadine Warren has been married and divorced several times, but is at last content, having decided there is really only one. Kenneth Warren is a successful officer in the Army Air Corps. Our gaze has traveled over the guests and we again become heartily familiarized with all of our previous classmates. The evening is turned over to entertainment and everyone is carried away with the spirit of their school-days. Page Thir een
