“This Changing World’’ SENIOR CLASS PROPHECY Here I am sitting on the capitol. steps gazing thoughtfully at the flag, which is waving gently in the late afternoon breeze. This flag continues to be appreciated more and mere by all Americans. The star representing the state of Illinois stands out most clearly to me because it is my home state. Another reason for its importance is that the President of the United States also comes from Illinois. Samuel Hancock, Student Body President of F. C. H. S„ 1940-41 holds that position. Many years have passed since Sam was Student Body President, and the world that should be in a turmoil is quite Deaceful under his guidance. The reason I say should be in a turmoil is because the older generation prophesied progress would be'retarded when the government passed into the hands of that so-called younger generation ; nevertheless, as the young people of our community have taken governmental offices, we find things running quite smoothly. Fixing my eyes on the capitol entrance, I see Elaine Zwick, who is the first woman to have the honor of being Vice-President. Leaving my post, I decide to eyter the White House. Crossing the hall to the elevator, I am greeted by 'none other than James McPhail, who hold - the governmental position of bell-hop in the White House. Stepping r ,ne elevator, I stand face to face with Elsie Mae Sheaffer. I question he jnd find that she has stepped into the shoes of Mrs. Perkins, Secretary ..f Labor. Leaving the elevator, I hurriedly walk down the hall. As I approach a large room, I am annoyed by the rumbling .of people’s voices. Upon investigating, I find that the Supreme Court Judges are having a round table discussion as to whether our country should have more night clubs. The members in favor of the proposition are Zon Connett, J. W. Clemm, Harold Freemen and Otto Lenich; those opposed are Mary Boggia, John Ryal, Bob Sinks, Mary Lou Holland, and Rollie Sims. Having made my exit unseen by the group, I stroll into the Blue Room to find peace and quiet. To pass the time away I pick up a paper left behind by Robert McNeely, Secretary of the Treasury. He had been deep in thought and did not recognize me as an old classmate. I am amazed when I see the old familiar heading, Red Bird Notes, staring me in the face. Eagerly I glance from page to page. I am greatly pleased to see that several of my former classmates are running the affairs in my home town, West Frankfort. John Michnovicz has secured the position as Mayor, due to his great ability in leadership. West Frankfort has become a city of great wealth. Close at hand to assist him in any governmental affairs are the town's best business men; Charles Deering, manager of the Deering Drug; Bob Burg, manager of the Burg Clothing Store; and Paul Enrietta, assistant manager of the old-hang out, Mikes”. Laying the paper aside, I rise slowly and as I leave the room, my thoughts are filled with memories of my old classmates. A smile creeps across my face as I think how well our president has put the Spoils System into effect, since so many of his former classmates hold governmental offices. As I descend the stairs, the memories of my classmates gradually fade from my mind. With the last rays of the sunlight, I watch the flag waving in the evening breeze, and I am thankful that it still waves over the land of the free and the home of the brave.” 14
