tee Ot PREDICTION OF SENIOR CLASS There is an old Indian legend that a precious treasure has been buried by one of the tribal chiefs somewhere in the north east corner of Rowan County. And anyone who would find the treasure would become heir to all the wealth of the tribe unto the fifth generation. Down through the centuries hun- dreds of explorers have made the search, but none ever found the hidden treasure, Learning a few days ago that the search is still open for any high school senior, and that the value of the treas+ ure has increased a million times since it was first buried, I hurried to the supposed scene with this one aim, namely to find the treasure and bring it back with me to Granite Quarry to become the prized possession of the Class of 1943. After many hours of faithful digging I unearthed an object which I thought was the coveted treasure, But I soon discovered that I was, sadly disappointed. All I hed was a rough ball-shaped object, seeningly of no value. But I would not give up, I chiseled and scraped until I began to see reflections of Something on the inside. And whet do you think? Deep in the center I saw the figures 1-9-4-3. And in one little polished spot I saw the word Class , Then I got busy end the longer I worked the more words I could see, And these words turned out to be the names of my classmetes., The ball had every name in it, and as I turned it around toward the light I could see sonething written under each name, This writing I will try to reproduce so that you can see what I Saw. George Lyerly will hold high office (in a clothing Timms Mary Evelyn Kluttz will become popular when she publishes her first song. Nell Wensil will be a fashion designer in Paris. Bill Smith, the inventor of Americats first huto-plane. Burton Richardson will be the nation’s leading farmer, Nancy Miller will be a speaker or die and she will live to be ninety.
