16 INKLINGS Senior Prophecy The return of prosperity this Spring didn’t do me much good It’s 1946; and for the past two years I’ve been washing dishes here in Keiser’s Inn! Ah me, such is life. Anna Kelsey is the head waitress. Edith Mathias and Lois Riley were waitresses; but they got so excit¬ ed while serving John Wachter (Socialist Candidate for President) that they spilled hot soup down his back! Mary Abramson has the job now. Awrrk-! Darn that radio! Too bad Bob Bunker perfected tele¬ vision. It doesn’t HELP the broad¬ casts at all. “All right, all right” —well, if it is’nt James Watt, the Major Bowes of 1936—-‘“Slewfoot Sue,” sung by Mrs. B. Brown and Mrs. A. Place.” Ha! I knew them when they were Thelma Pettit and Georgia Hennin. Sylvester Kors, George Laben, and Jack Ross are giving the latest flashes from the Boy Scout world. That announcer’s voice is familiar “Oh, YASE, YASE;” it’s Ray Bjork- lund. C. P. H. S. debate work trained his voice, at least. Clyde Taylor, Albert Fiegle, George Cooper, and Milford Steuer are releasing bellows known to radio fans as “Harlem Harmony” Harmony? “All right, and now the Silly Syncopators.” M’gosh, they call it MUSIC! Jack Cannon is faking “Wabash Blues” on his sax, while Arny Henderlong tickles the ivorys with “Nola,” and John Mecklenberg puffs away on his bass horn, wan¬ dering what a certain orchestra leader thinks of him now! What’s this? Lorraine Margison singing “Runnin’ WILDE.” I won¬ der if Deane agrees ? “The winner: Warren ‘Ted Lewis’ Houk.” I guess I tuned in after he had finished. News flashes by Betty Seberger, Marjorie Muzzall, and Cleo Dance. “Station G-A-B-” etc. They cer¬ tainly ought to be able to get the news first-hand if anybody can. Whhf! Is that an owl, or some¬ body trying to sing? Oh, am I em¬ barrassed! It’s m’fran’, Wilma “Toddy” Trump, better known as “Sournote Sue, the Songster.” She’s singin, “I Found a Million Dollar Baby in a 5 10c Store.” Well--’ Marie Mikuta, Ella Hofferber, and Ida Lerch will now explain an Algebra problem sent in by Ein¬ stein’s grandson. I couldn’t find a better excuse to turn off the radio! Boyd Seramur is “king of his greasy domain” around here. With him as chief cook, no wonder there’s such a demand for Anderson’s An¬ tidote for All Ailments. Marian certainly coined money on that in ¬ vention. What a coincidence: she just came in with another charm¬ ing young lady. It’s Aimee Parry. Aimes models for Coldblatt’s Colos¬ sal Clothing Company. I hear she’s quite a hit. Myrl Peterson (alia? “Miss Information”) shows the cus¬ tomers around the shop. Joe Weinberg, who abandons his school days forever this spring, is doing a flying trapeze act out in the lunch room. He swings, misses the bar, grabs for the chandelier oooh! Joe and the chandelier plopped down right on top of Joel Davis, who was delivering today ' s supply of eggs. What a mess! M’gosh, who’s that laughing? Sounds like a thunder-storm. Oh, it’s Ruth “Kelly” Scblueter. She writes continued stories (and they’re enough to finish anybody) for Borchert’s Bodacius Bugville Bugler. John is putting his paper over in a big way. Dick Joyce has the Pernicius Pun column. Audrey Smith has a column in the Bugler, too. In fact, she has proved her¬ self indispensable to John! Fred Krull and Kenneth Hamil¬ ton have taken time out for a bowl of chili “away from the clamor and hammer and riot.” (Their wives kicked them out!) What, another vaudeville? It’s Alys Frame this time. She’s on the road to fame; although they say that when .she made her debut tan-dancing, she gathered enough fruit and vegetables to live on for , two weeks! Speaking of dancing, Ralph Can¬ non (disguised as a girl) trips the light fantastic with Elmer Gard, the Don Juan of the ballroom. They’re certainly increasing- the popularity of the tango. Four young men are seated at a corner table. Bill Harper’s a p’lice- man; but he’s off-duty, helping John Hershman trace his family tree. Aided by Roland Lisius and Crowell Knight, renowned rival lawyers, they’ve discovered that many generations ago, two or three of John’s ancestors were throwing cocoanuts at each other! Mabel Buckley, Kathryn Deitrich, and Lillian Fritch have been arg¬ uing about malted-milk flavors for he last half-hour. Who’s the forlorn-looking feller suckin’ milk through a straw? Jim Louis! My, how he’s changed since he lost all of his teeth. And he was going to be a dentist! Harold Wente, Bill Ford, Morris Heldt, and Rufus Kara are enjoy- ! ng a glass of water and a tooth ■lick after canvassing the town all day with tickets to Lawrence Toomey’s latest picture, “Love ’Em and Leave ’Em”. Lawrence is just another Clark Gable. There are Viola Heick, Helen Howe, Elizabeth Steinman, and Marie Neises. They have swell jobs with “Darn ’Em and Scaley’s” cir¬ cus. Elizabeth and Marie hold a cement block on Viola’s head while Helen socks the block with a mallet. Carolyn Johnson has a job there, too. She’s a tight-rope walker, and does she wow ’em! Jack Heide’s experience in his dad’s store comes in pretty handy; he belos Bob Kolar sell tickets in front of the tent. Where’s that silly giggling com¬ ing from? Oh, Pranklvn Ber» Bernard Wallace, and Bill Brown just came in. The giggle belongs to Frank, who has beeen on a five- year vacation because of competi¬ tion. (I mean he was trying t. make bank notes like those th Government makes!) Bill, now (Continued on Page Eighteen)

In this space it is impossible to list every achievement and success¬ ful activity of the class, but one thing especially worthy of mention is the Junior Class Play, “Grow¬ ing Pains,” staged on March 27. In producing “Growing Pains” the juniors ventured, under the able direction of Miss Evelyn Richey, the first class play in Crown Point SENIOR PROPHECY (Continued from Page Sixteen! known as “Swingbad, the Sailor”, Junior Class j High in two years; and it was a huge success, both dramatically and financially. The class roll is filled with fine athletic material, and many letter- men in both major sports were juniors. Allen Danks, Howard Hartung, Charles Van Denburg, and Homer Randolph were four of the [ heaviest men on the football squad, and made a good showing during | the 1935 season.

Georgia Carroll and Marjorie Frame, who made up the affirma¬ tive team, represented the class in the field of debate; and the school’s outstanding clown is a jun¬ ior too, a fellow by the name of Dudley. Three words, pep, ability, and versatility, describe the juniors. More power to them next year! years! “Woozle”is trying to break up the conversation in order to re¬ late the latest report on the White Sox. Oh, agony!
