We see the lights of the Brawley mansion down near the Gila River And as I inquire I find that the Seniors of � 47 arc having a class reunion at tho homo of Mr, 0 and Mrs, Clarence Brwlcy. Wanting to sec it all, I find a big tree right over the front door. Through tho oocn doors I hear divine music. As I strain my neck, whom do I behold but Frank Dillinglscy? Frank has his own orchestra, which is called Frank Billingsley and His Frolicsome Five. He seems to be swingin and swayin' to an audience of two. Yes, Sarah and Clarence arc waiting for tho arrival of their guests. Sarah has lost her olcasingly plume figure but exhibits still her great charm as a ocrfcct hostess. A car drives uo. The two rise to groct their first guest. A very distinguished woman stocs gracefully out of her car and whom do I behold meeting the hostess but Verna Loo Johnson! As I listen to tho conversation, I hear the Miss Johnson is now erivate secretary to the President of the United States. Who's this I see in the next car? Not Geraldine Finch--not with all those Persian cats I I soc oaintod on her car in bold letters: CAT FARM--PROPRIETRESS—MISS JERRY FINCH--Wo have the kind of Cats You Liko—Call Doocvillc, 8731. A bright red Ford (model 1947) coitus up and Eddie and Everett ' Edington stco out, both carrying small boxes. ,.s they enter, a shrill scream echoes through the mansion. � Tis Jerry Finch--and . (Continued)__I n PROPHECY (Continued) why? The Edington brothers seem to have brought some of their prized fleas from their Flea Circus, I have to laugh at the thoughts of Jerry’s cats and those fleas together! Gaily step ing out of his convertible, Max Perkins seems t« be in high spirits! From the sound of things inside, I gather he has a right to be happy! He is telling everyone that he has just won the world championship in tennis—boys' singles! My eye catches a couple coming across the lawn, I try to make them out, but my attention is suddenly diverted by hearty laughter from the crowd inside. It seems that Buddy Davis has come in and has passed out his book of Davis Corn’ . Davis, the Supreme Court Judge, has just published his famous joke book, and it will be studied in all law schools. Turning my focus to the couple on the lawn, I see it is none other other than Warner Foote and Ada Mae, Seeing them brings to my memory one of Foote’s cartoons. It seems he is a second Walt Disney and Ada Mae, now Mrs. Foote, is his bootiful lady, My goodness, is that a lumber truck coming up the drive? No it is merely a 20-passenger bus. My first thoughts were that it was a school bus, but on taking a second look I see that Milton Reeves is behind the wheel, and in the bus are Marjorie and one dozen children. As Reeves bids goodbye to his fair maiden {and family) to enter the gaiety inside, Marjorie takes over the wheel and lumbers off. A sleek black Buick is slowly coming up the drive, and ’tis no other but Karl (or.Boch) Jellinghausen at the ..heel. He is Continued__| Prophecy (Continued) now a bishop of his church, and supposed to be very dignified, but uffaen I see a bottle of Schenley's I begin to have misgivings. Rattle, crash, bangi A brilliant red jallopy is ohnrging up the drive; a flashing young girl pops out and dashes up the steps. A closer look, and I see that it is only Ima Lee Robertson. What do I mean only? She is now editor of the Dirt Page for the Nev. York Times. It seems as though she doesn’t want to miss a thing at this bright affair--nothing is too good for her noge. Coming down the walk in a black Senior cap and gown garb, is Speck Bourgeous. It seems that Speck hrs finally passed out the high school doors. But, all honors have been bestowed upon him. He is Valdictorian of his Senior class. Up the drive comes a prison cor--what the heck sez I? At the wheel is Jerry Perry end beside him—Helen Gpodncr Boyd. Jer- ry is a Warden at Florence and Helen is serving out h r term for the brutal murder of her husband A rather short, plump woman comes proudly up the walk. Tis none oth r than Nita Fern Webster She still holds her great position as Mr Murphy’s secretary. She is so good that Mr. Mur- phy just simply won’t let h-r go Coming up the drive is N or ale a Haby. She is escorted by four elderly women. As they are all dressed in drab colors you would think they had just come from c. funeral. Nora is a professor at the Vaasar College for Women, a professor of Science. A snazzy Buick is coming up so quietly I can hardly hear it. Doyle Sexton, with his wife Illcen Bennett Sexton, is driving up. Continued| “1 PROPHECY (Continued) They get out carrying huge piles of books. I can see only the title but is sounds Good—the title?—Ma Sexton's Cook Book—The Pood Doyle Loves, Cloppety, clop—what on earth is that? Two horses are Grace- fully trotting down the drive. It is Lauralea Haby (Bott) and hur husband. They have just cone back from the round up at their ranch in Klondyke. The refrain, For He's a Jolly Good Fellow, For He's a Jolly Good Fellow is heard male voices seem to be booming to loud for one’s ear drums. .1 crowd of yeung men are carrying none other than Jake Rowden on their shoulders. Jake, Still dressed in his football attire, is gently l«-t down and he enters the house with pleasure. He is the star football center for' the kll-Aaer- icon Team. Coming up in what used to be a good car is Barbara McNair. She is dressed gaily and is all smiles. She is the Great lady r t Mulecreek. -he is the l..dy who leads all women, in h.r great Ay—1what was that? I peer down the hill end see a d nkoy finishing his braying. Dick Stewart is walking up the hill and petting his dear Petunia. It secrnd Dick is a prospector in the Black Hills and he has at last found his true love, Petunia. V aaaaa-L'aaaa—a baby's cry! It seems as little Polar hates to sec his mother, Lllcn Foote Merrill, leave. Pelar Senior is trying his best to console the woe one but without good results. And so ends the line of people entering the Brawley mansion. town. Here's hopxn those Seniors of '47 enjoy their reunion!

The j Thanksgiving dance, sponsored by the Juniors, opened the season. It was a huge affair, attended by everyone. A large cornstack centerpiece on the gym floor, with pumpkins and squash, dominated the decoration scheme, and sprays of corn tassels and loops of orange and black crepe paper streamers continued the theme. On Christmas Night a dance sponsored by the Student Council highlighted the holiday festivities. It was without doubt a big success. A huge Christmas tree placed in the center of the dance floor accentuated the spirit of the season. A Senior Ball was almost completely planned, but wa3 called off due to conditions beyond the Seniors' control. To add a touch of sentiment to Valentine's Day, the F.H.A sponsored a dance. The decorations were clever and with fat cup- ids sitting on hearts, set a mood of romance. Maurine Jelling- hausen of the Junior class was crowned queen of the occasion The St. Patrick's dance called the Irishmen forth. The dan- ce, sponsored jointly by the Student Council and Y oman's Club,wa3 a big success. Easter was ushered in by the Easter dance, sponsored by the Sophomores It wa3 the first dance of the Sophomores' high school care r r but that didn’t daunt them The hall was attractively decorated with bunny rabbits, ea3ter eggs, and crepe paper stream- ers on the doors.
