The future isn ' t as uncertain as it appears, as there ' s still a prophet breathing upon this colorful globe — ME! Young am I, but well informed on the subject. For I am a conscientious believer in astrologial superstitions and an observer of constellations. One starry night I sat on the steps gazing up at the heaven ' s living diamonds, hoping they would reveal the prospects for the future of the seniors graduating from Darden High, 1952. Occasionally one may interpret a meaningful prophecy. That night the brighter stars were clustered, filling one fourth of the glittering sky. This, to me, indicated a brighter tomorrow during the next quarter of the century. Bit by bit, I interpreted more. Generally, our little talents that were discovered in high school were to be developed gracefully. My smoothest, free-spoken mates in school would become successful social workers; my fussy, debate-happy, chums shall find convenient hot-air outlets as lawyers and judges. The scientists, nurses, doctors, and pharmacists were the seniors interested in Hygiene and sciences in high school. Most of the girls will become wonderful house wives. I can ' t readily call them house- wives, as there shan ' t be houses as such. Houses then (1975) will be intriguing laboratories, and wives will be nothing short of scientists. They shall have to gauge atomic cooking meters very precisely. If not, who, they ' d have carbon instead of the intended roast beef for dinner! They ' ll have to serve the proper amounts of atomic vitamin tablets to the kiddies daily, plus having to watch the other atomic household operations. Other seniors shall build future America , structurally. There will be a profusion of archi- tects, brick masons, and carpenters, who have received their beginning lessons right herein Darden. With the .energy, courage, zeal, and intelligence of this senior class, Old Man Future is ours exclusively, to mould as we are able to, and as we see fit. It can and shall be shaped into a great success for us, as it has for others.
