Remember, Before us stands the Future, A shadow robed in vapor, With a far off sunlight shining through. The Present is around us—passing away- passing away. And We? We must look not mournfully into the Past. It is gone; Improve the Present— It is yours; So go— Go joyously into the Future. A book is a key, for as a key opens a door, so does a book open a way to knowledge. Opening your Edwardian won't bring you a wealth of knowledge, but perhaps it will be your key to some pleasant memories. 10

CLASS PROPHECY Gazing into our crystal ball we get a glimpse of the future. HAROLD ALDRIDGE is a Colonel in the French Foreign Legion. The Army life got in his blood when he was in Korea playing ping-pong. SONNY BULLOCK married an heiress and is on Easy Street. He builds sky- scrapers, you know. Papa-in-law is a multi-magnate. JANETTE CHAPIN has been Superintendent of Presbyterian Medical Center in New York for at least 10 years. Outstanding work in the field of medicine has given her this distinction. GAIL FULLER has just taken General Douglas MacArthur's position. The United States' Government has decided to end wars once and for all! CLINT HENDRICKS just awakened from a 20-year nap. High school just wore him out so he decided to play Rip Van Winkle. Glad you're back, Clint. SHIRLEY MANTLE just completed another box-office movie hit. The producers say she's the greatest thing in movies since Betty Grable. JOANNE WATSON is Dean of Woinen at Syracuse University. After many years of successful teaching she has attained her goal. We hear rumors of a coming marriage—Jo-Jo finally settled on a Fitzgerald. SNOOK ZALUSKI just opened another night club on Broadway. This tavern business has really expanded. . . . Zaiuski Incorporated now owns 12 night clubs and several other smaller establishments.
