CLASS PROPHECY It is a well known saying, often proven true, Nthat com- ing events cast their shadows before.u Therefore it is not'so hard as many think for one who has taken the trouble to study the comingws and the going's of his fellow creatures. I will be something of a prophet and form some idea, more or less correct, of what their future course of action will be. Having for some time been possessed with a strong ambi- tion for the career of a detective, I have just, for the sake of practice, or as a means of preparation, kept a keen eye up- on all of you when perhaps you were unaware that you were being observed. The pleasure and satisfaction of looking into the future is always mixed with pain. We long to know what is before us and yet when the knowledge comes to us we tremble, fearing that we may not be ,able to bear our parts .in the ordeals to come as faithfully as we can and should. The one question in our minds is sure to be, Nshall we prepare for these honors and duties?n We will now look into the lives of the class of 047m in the year 1967. A In my vision I. see Elmore, a large prosperous city with tall buildings and eeverything in the elatest modern trend. While strolling down the street, I noticed the town hall, a magnificent edifice whose construction was directed by Qlarence Egert, the world renowned contractor. Entering I see the bold letters HMayor of Elmoreu painted on a door, and up- on entering, am surprised to find Dick McGee sitting behind the desk. On his right taking dictation is Qeanette Kimber- lin, and on his left, busily painting a portrait of Dick, is Qanet Henderligh, whose paintings have been shown in almost every art gallery in the world. Going out into the street again, I come to a huge meat- packing plant and the neon lights over the doorway inform me that Kggneth Buck is president of the Vcorporation. While watching Kenneth direct the unloading of a load.of steers I notice two gentlemen whom I recognize as Dale Flick and .ill- pggt Behring come up to him and start talking. From a worker at the plant I learn that they supply almost all of the 200,000 head of cattle which the plant butchers each year. Suddenly becoming hungry, I stop at an ice-cream parlor and am greeted at the counter by Mgrtin Recny,. who bought the store so he could satisfy his craving for ice-cream bars, which he developed while attending high-school. On picking up the latest edition of the Elmore Tribune, I see that Joan Qozine and Wilma Oestreich are co-editors of the paper, which has grown to a circulation of one million. An article that

Mary Lee Logan leaves her pleasing personality to Lucille Lemke. Kenneth Buck's blond locks is left to Don Harder. Leona Carlson and Lillian Klingbiel's way of holding hands goes to Bernice Harder and Kathryn Gahn. Gilbert Behring's formula for growing a mustache is left to Keith Kruse. To Miss Wilcox, we leave a speech class that isn't too embarassed to speak. To Mrs. Coleman is left a more co-operative government - class. To Mr. Boling, we leave a more quiet hall to patrol in the morning. . To Miss Thober, we leave a more competent Shorthand class. To Mrs. Pelton, a Spanish class that can speak fluent Spanish within three weeks. Miss Duffey, a better equipped biology laboratory. Mrs. Kontak, a class that remembers at what time the tardy bell rings. To Miss Burton, a senior trio that will sing for any and all occasions. To Mr. Hetrick, a Versatile Club that doesn't bother him so much. 4 In witness whereof we have hereunto subscribed our name To To and affixed our seal :his twenty-seventh day of May in the year of Our Lord, one thousand nine hundred and forty seven.

catches my eye states that Berneigg Boss is considering run- ning for office in the House of Representatives after serving two terms previously. Finishing my lunch and after walking to the outskirts of town I come to the municipal airport. Walk- ing past a weird machine, I almost stumble over a pair of legs and as the head appears from under the contraption, I recog- nize Bgggg Riehm who, it later develops, is working on a rocket-ship which will carry him to the moon. Arriving on a transport which has just landed, is Qorothy Weis who has just attended a fashion show at Paris and is reporting back to Loren Qasselkus, the manager of a large department store. . I hail a taxi and the driver, who is Robert Giesler, soon has us rolling along to the campus grounds of the University of Elmore. Upon arriving there the faculty are having a meet- ing under the guidance of Qernagd Synk, the president of the college. Glancing about the table, I get a glimpse of Leona Carlson who teaches home-economics and Alma Gronbach who is dean of women. Going over to the gym, where a basketball game is going on, I watch Coach Brook's boys trounce Bowling Green, 107 to 23. During a rough part of the game when a player is injured, Qgg Sloan dashes out and applies a splint to the'bro- ken leg of a flashy young forward named Oliver Schuster, whose father, Bob Schuster, is now a favorite of radio fans with his baritone'EThging voice. Returning to town again in Giesler's taxi, I spy a large apple orchard near the city limits and signs dotted around the area tell me that Grayson Koepke is the prosperous owner. Once more in downtown Elmore, I alight in front of a Beauty Shop with the famous hair-dresser, Lillian Klingbiel, as pro- prietor. A jingle in the window reads: f - V nDoes your hair stand straight up, And still want to go higher? Then consult our hair-expert, Miss Betty Niemeyerln Just then a long Limousine pulls up and the woman the chauffeur lets out in the former Doral Lemke whose present husband struck it rich when he found oil on the old school grounds. Seeking relaxation, I go to the Paramount theater where the manager, Donn Lowry is telling a customer that he is sure the shoe will be found in one of the aisles. The movie, Cwhich is acclaimed the best of the yearb has as the two lead- ing actresses' Mary Qggll and Mary Logan, who have enjoyed stardom for 15 years. I We have now completed our brief glimpse into the future lives of the 1947 graduating class of Harris-Elmore and if my vision proves correct, the class will be one of the most suc- cessful groups ever to graduate from Elmore.
