this important occasion. Another year has elapsed. Gib, after giving up the idea of coaching high school athletics, is a foreman at Plant 5 at Allison's. He's doing quite well, too. Still a bachelor, but not for long! A class wouldn't be complete without an office girl or two. Freda Smith is the representative, and a red head tool For a class so small, they certainly have enough bright headsl Freda has just received a promotion at the Mutual Life In- surance Company. Eight years have passed by before the big event came for this student. Don Ruark is now a doctor! There he goes prepared for his first tOHSi1lectomy.'He looks confident enough. Golly, think I'll have mine removed again.

SENIOR CLASS PROPERTY We had a carnival in our town recently, and just for curiosity's sake, a friend and I went to visit the fortune teller. We were quite concerned about the seniors of Sl and wished to know how they were thriving in the wide open spaces, Well , she said, 'first let's see what occurred that was important during the first and second year upon graduating. As I look into my crystal ball, the first thing I see is a happy sight. There are Norman and Joyce and let's see--Yes, there are the darling twins sitting between them at the breakfast table 3 they look so happy. Now the scene is changing and in its place I see a young couple stepping up to an altar. lliss Jeanne Tharp and Gerald Carpenter are being married by Rev. Norris Webster. Rev. Webster has made a bright future for himself in the church. Lois has been a loving wife, full of understanding. Now Gerald is slipping the ring on Jeanne's finger, and they're off on a wonderful adventure! Now let's move to the third year after graduating. There he goes down the floor, and it's a good one! Dave Grimes scores again for Purdue! Great boy that Grimes! He'll be a wonderful coach if he doesn't decide to enter politics like his dad. My! What's that coming down the road? Why it's Charles Phillips in his old ford hurrying to see Middy! He's an hour late again. Why doesn't he propose and get it over with? She can't wait forever. Goodness! This is about the quietest scene I have seen yet. There goes Bette Chestnut up to the platform to receive her digloma from the Methodist Hospital School of Nursing. She looks so gretty in her starched white uniform. I'm sure they will welcome her to the Putngm County Hospital, Why, it's Sergeant Robert Broadstreet of the l0lst Airborne Division checking to see that everything is ready for the take offf No women for Bob. He's come a long way in his climb up the ladder of success. While we are in the arm' scene, isn't that Mary Ann Cash going down the street? Yes, it's she, all right! She is dressed in a brown uniform. She's a- bout the prettiest WAC I have ever seen, and she looks as if she likes her work. Still, Bob Gray is stored up in the back of her pretty head, but she'll have that career first. Gross we had better move on a year or two. What's that I see? Edwin Jackson is coming into town in his jeep station wagon. Due to taking bookkeeping in his senior year, Edwin has no trouble with the revenue man taking all his yearly prof- its! He now owns a too hundred acre farm and is prospering well. Another year goes by, and into my crystal ball tramp more readin' writin' and rithmetic' . Preston Webster is standing in front of his English class. Whydoes he keep looking at the third seat in the second row? Why it's a cute little blond! We ought to look back on Press a year or two from now! Whistle! Whistle! What a pretty little red head! This must be Miss Jean Selsor. She has been away three years in nurse's training and has come to Putnam County Hospital for her duties. Doctors, beware both Bette and Jean! I had better watch out here or my crystal ball is likely to disappear as Stanley Blackstone Smith steps into view. Stanley is on the stage making his de- but as a magician. He can make a spoon jump in a can by uttering a single, magic word I A glad reunion. DeVona Henderson is meeting her soldier boy at the railroad station. Better say Henderson now, because it won't be that very 1098- Devon has been ,orldng at Blocks: fer the 15st, few years and has saved quite a sum for 18
