Class Prophecy One sunny afternoon this early May, I was sitting at my window idly dreaming-wondering what the years had in store for the class of 1943. As the sunbeams lengthened into shadows I fancied that again I was a little girl and heard my mother telling me the story of the magic Carpet. How I longed to ride on the magic carpet that takes you to all parts of the world-wherever you willed-showing you undreamed of wonders! I wanted to travel and be allowed a glimpse behind the mystic veil that hides the future from us. Surprisingly enough, a voice from out of nowhere said, Thy wish is granted thee. As I soared I thought the years were passing and I saw many changes. I found myself in the heart of a great metropolis. Wliile I was looking at some brightly colored billboards imagine my great surprise to see our own I-Iarwyn heralded as the greatest comedian of the age. He was appearing at the Palace, with Winnie Rude also appearing in his show as a ballet dancer. I walked on down the street and whom should I meet but Mary and Doris. Both of them were married to their sweethearts of high school days and they were all living together as Mary was teaching Doris to- cook. They told me of three of our class of '43. Iessie operated the best beauty parlor in the city, everyone was praising her work. Marie, they said, was a famous john Powers model. Mary Horxfall was head nurse in the city's best hospital. After a while I again found myself on the magic carpet. I got off in a beautiful little town in Arkansas. In a big yard a group of children were playing. In their midst there was a familiar face. lt was none other than Eugene Wilson. His wife came to the door and called, Come to dinner, children, -when they started to fol- low! 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 15, 14,-I grew tired of counting. But when I said something to Eugene about his big family he laughed and pointed to a sign overhead which read, Eugene's Home For Orphans. Wandering farther down the street I was taken by a pretty little house which I supposed to be the min- ister's home since it was right beside a little white church. The door of the house opened and a distinguished looking man came out. Ii looked twice before I could be sure it was Bill Lorlerll, the live wire of our class. He was now the Rev. William Lockett. He invited me to come in and see his wife, Dllflllll-5. She told me that last night they had been awakened by a couple wanting to get married. The couple was two of our classmates, Mildred Dielrirla and Harold Simmerx. After leaving the Locketts the magic carpet carried me to New York, where in quite an exclusive little shop I beheld Kaflalrru Errin working hard designing dresses. Right then she was designing a dress for Rulli Bla-rklmrn to wear in her next organ recital. Ruth had become world famous. Wliile in New York I also saw Mae Miller. She told me that she was secretary to jamvx Eggan, who was manager of a large chain of stores. Away again on the magic carpet, I neared a beautiful town famed for the young ladies' college there. Here our studious Eli-a Kinsey is located. The knowledge she imparts is shaping the character of many young girls. The magic carpet then took me back to Ohio. I stopped at Columbus first. After leaving the library where Betty Kinsey is librarian a funny looking gentleman nearly knocked me down in order to get into the library before it closed. He apologized and by his voice I was able to recognize him. I said, Are you Ken Kohl? and he replied that he was and then he recognized me. I asked him what he was doing with a beard and horn- rimmed glasses. He said he was a professor of French at Ohio State University. Imagine my surprise! I rather expected to find him a coach insteadf By this time it was night so I looked for a good hotel. Roy Kimi'-y was the manager of the hotel where I stopped. I ate a fine meal there the next day which was planned by Wif1ifrerlDa1'is, the hotel dietitian. While at this hotel I saw a distinguished gentleman whom I recognized as Leo:1Qm'nr. He told me he had been abroad studying art. In the morning I called on Charles Miller who is governor of Ohio. After leaving Charles I met Claarlrs Glauser. He was in Columbus taking a little rest. He owned a big farm and it had been keeping him quite busy. Although his chief interest is in his well managed farm he enjoys a quick visit to the bright lights of the city. He told me that Mary Enos had married a wealthy farmer and that their farm is close to his. Glancing at my watch I hurriedly left Charles in order to get back to the hotel and hear President Schupp's speech. Little did we think that our jolly Frank would some day be the chief executive of our nation. A trusted member of his cabinet is jack, Sfruclieu. Feeling slightly tired I wished to be home again and at once the spell was broken. Gone was the magic Carpet-nothing but memories left-pleasant memories of a class working out its destiny in the world in a way to bring honor to our dear old G. H. S. , -EMMA LOU PARKER.

Aboard were the passengers and the pilot, Miss Siegrist. During our flight through the second, fourth and fifth years we were aboard two separate planes, operated by different pilots. We were safely piloted through the first six years by: Miss Siegrist, Miss Ulrich and Miss Siegrist, Miss Ulrich, Miss Pfeiffer and Miss Wilcoxin, Mr. Nussbaum and Miss Wilcoxin, and Mr. Bennett. There were new passengers taken aboard and others left to board other planes. During the sixth year we had four new members added when the Lock Seventeen School-house burned. Miss Bacon and Mr. Sears piloted us through Junior High. As we entered high school our navigator was changed from Mr. Smith to Mr. Starr. We were off to a good start through high school after being initiated by the seniors. Mr. Rutledge and Mr. Johnson brought us through the first two years. Again our navigator was changed, Mr. Virtue was now in charge. With Miss Walters as pilot our Junior year, we presented the comedy, Don't Take My Penny. As we boarded the plane for the last flight of our journey we again were piloted by Mr. Rutledge. Due to his being called for service to our country, Mr. Rutledge was replaced by Miss Stage. Original passengers still aboard the plane are: Ruth Blackburn, Kathleen Ervin, Mary Huebner, Betty Kinsey, Kenneth Kohl, Doris Hamilton, Charles Miller, Emma Lou Parker, Franklyn Schupp, Jack Struchen, and Marie Ward. It is our hope that those who follow us will enjoy their trip as much as we have. We end this first great flight of ours, prepared for longer, more trying flights through life. --CHARLES GLAUSER.
