do as his specialty. His signature is seen in the hair. Who should come in during my manicure but Jean Weihl and her escort, Bill Fox. She said she has made millions on her waterproof match. She said she has had three husbands a year in the past thirty years. Bill Fox said he is now known as the best dressed actor in the universe and is the greatest interplanterian lover.

CLASS PROPHECY I had been living on Mars for a number of years, ever since I first came on one of the early rockets. Very soon after my arrival I became the benev- olent ruler of this planet that is nearest the earth. One day a special rocket fromearth arrived withan invitation to the an- nual alumni banquet at my dear old Haskins High. It seems it was the 30th anniversary of our graduation, and since I had not been back in those 30 years I decided to return. A few days later I took off in my private space ship for Haskins, Ohio. You can imagine my surprise when looking out the window of my ship, I saw a huge ultramodern metropolis below me. The ship landed at the space- ship landing port, and I began to ask questions to find where things were. I learned, much to my surprise, that in Haskins was a great university with an enrollment of 75,000 students. Haskins was also a city noted for its great beauty and ultramodern architecture. I decided that first I would meet the president of this university that he might enlighten me further. When I reached the building of the office of the president, I was immediately ushered into his private office. I almost fell through the floor when I discovered who it was. It was my old classmate, Bob Bringman. Adjusting his monical, this great man told me of his achieve- ments. He told me he was famous for having established The Happy Home , a new type of high school which requires no teachers. He said I must meet some of the staff. First, he called in the head of the English Department. He said that she was noted for her creation of a new shortened version of the English Ian- guage. Who should walk in but .loanne Eeckel. Second, was the head of the Biology Dept., and I ran into Joyce Grolle. She said her latest achievement was a mechanical means of producing plant life. Third, he took me to meet the head of the speech department. He said she had never laughed since she graduated from school. To my surprise it was Alice Snyder. Fourth, he called into his office the head of the Political Science Dept., and guess who entered, Sandra Binger. She told me she had been with the university since the end of her second term as president of the United States. Next, he called in two more of my old classmates who were also heads of departments. They were Mary Bobel and Jean Ovitt. Mary told me that she was head of the Math Dept. and now considered greater than Einstein. She calculated the binding energy of the deutron. Jean Ovitt informed me that she was heading the Physical Culture Dept. She had become universally famous for her swimming. Her latest record is from San Francisco to Hono- Iulu. I asked them to direct me to a hair dresser and who should it turn out to be but Bill Garrett. He is known as Henri and has a shaved crown hair- 10

At the beginning of the eighth grade we found we had Mr. Van Atta for our sponsor. As the curtain fell on the second act it was found that none of the actors but Bob Boso had left us. As the curtain went up for Act III, everyone was very nervous. This was the big step into high school. This year, four actors ioined the cast. They were Carol Fretter, Jean Patterson, Mary Whitmore, and George Nicholson. We were allowed four parties this year under the direction of Mrs. Hof. The Sophomores initiated us into high school. Chuck Shufelt, Tom Morlock, and George Nicholson left us. As the tenth grade rolled around we found that we were missing four: Jean Patterson moved to Waterville, Mary Whitmore to Maumee, Sandra Binger to California. During the year Tom Stewart was killed in a baseball accident. When time came for us to begin the eleventh grade, two more actors were missing: Sandra Myers and Eugene Brown.
