We, Stephany Krecioch and Sabina Kisielewski, will to the next will-writers what is left of our patience, the ability to smile at people who turn in their wills five days late and the nonchalant assurance to all that their wills and be- queathments will be published. Conclusion: The class, as a whole, wills its seats to the future students attending foot- ball and basketball games and Student Association programs. We guarantee room for at least four-hundred and fifty. Also, to the Board of Education we leave the ability to produce bigger and better citizens in the renowned city of Hamtramck. In witness whereof, we set our hand and seal this sunny day of June, A.D., 1935.

U mf ' o o o 'lim CLASS PROPHECY Editor's note: The following represents the result of research conducted by Prof. Edwin Pezda, aided and abbeted by friend wife, Grace Rundy Pezda, and published in the weekly edition of the Raw Deal, Hamtramck's only and least read newspaper. Time, the year of 1945. Characters, certain graduates of the June '35 class. Moral, There's a sucker born every minute. Quote-When we began this little inquiry into the lives of our former class- mates, my wife and I had no idea what a Wealth of material would be at our disposal. Then too, we never for a minute suspected that our work would have anything but scientific value. Therefore, you can imagine our surprise when subsequent results had us rolling in the aisles and gasping for breath. For instance, everybody in the June '35 class knew that John Werenski, besides wanting to become an actor, had a crush on Mary Lou Grzybowski. Also, it was common news that Mary Lou, besides wanting to be a singer, had a crush on John. Well! who would believe it?! John is now an understudy's under- study in a third rate Hoboken stock company, while Mary Lou, his guiding light, supports the Werenski family by singing in a Passiac, N.J. beer garden. My, my! We soon found that not a few of our ex-classmates had entered into the bonds of matrimony with their fellow graduates. There is the case of Frank Salley, erstwhile clarinet player, and Vivian Adams, she of the slim figure and large brown eyes. Mitchell Chojnowski, who, if we remember correctly, was our 12A president, also succumbed to the attractions of family life. The lucky woman? None other than Stella Zadroga, of the crack '35 debating team. Stella, to be sure, can talk hubby Mitchell into anything. Not to be omitted is the matrimonial venture of Casey Klewicki, who starred at football and ping pong at Michigan State, and Celia Osinski, once of the Cosmos staff. Then too, Leroy White and Marion Shepard, also prominent reporters, have decided to see what fun there is in marriage, and are now engaged in the occupation of developing little journalists. Do you recall the young colored lad, one Frank Mercer by name, who used to cavort about the school with a bible in his mit? Well, this same Frank, en- couraged by his wife, Ruth Kidd, has realized his greatest ambition. He can now be heard preaching to Saturday night audiences in the tent on the open lot f:1ciUf'? St. Aubiu Ave. His most devote l'ill'lSl'llU1lL'!'. Em-ll Neill-frl, who for -45.
