CLASS PR OPHECY As I stepped out on No. 18 with aethumb protruded, I waved a passing car. The car whizzed on, leaving me standing with a determined look upon my brow, my pack on my back, comics in my shoes, and a penny for luck. I was a failure in the social world, but I was a mere twenty-five, with years to make my fortune. Isn't that the same car coming back? That's strange. I seem to know that face.' Yes, it was Wellik, with her red jet convertible, screaming, Hi ya Buschllu She was accompanied by her six French Poodles, Thanatopsis, Ovaltine, Hick, Alfrado, Cleopatra, and Herbert. She informed me she was now Mrs. Archibald Dale Van Golbuff, Mary Ann being married three times, fto Dalej. Dale had a soft job caring for the maid, while Mary Ann managed al large business corporation on Wall Street. She had done very well for herself, and Dale. Mary Ann gave me one last giggle and then went whizzing off. I hitched a ride, and soon came to Reno. I was looking for something interesting to do, so I went to the library, as I just adore books. I'was fully absorbed in The Three Bears , when I observed the librarian tripping lightly fover a desk, across the hall toward me. The face was familiar but the hair do and black stockings and glasses were not. The voice was that of another classmate, Elaine. Her merry laugh' was gone. After six husbands, men were utterly the last word with Elaine. She told me she lived extrava- gantly on her alimony. Elaine informed me of a circus coming to town. I love a circus, and as Elaine admired the sword swallower, we went to the Heller Brothers Circus. We went in to see the famed fat lady, and who should we find as the fat lady but Sheryl, who had given her- self the stage name of Gayle johnson. She eats candy canes and all the fattening food, but is always disappointed, as she is still thin. She told us she had a lot of Stuff to do in the show. How she ever got that job is a mystery to all who know her in real life. Sheryl toddles out on the stage daily, and almost laughes herself hoarse trying to make her stomach jump up and down. ' After seeing all the sights of Reno, including Sheryl, I bade farewell to my friends of old Hayfield High , and continued my journey to Hollywood. I climbed to higher level and hailed a plane from Gerlach's Supersonic Air Service . In a few seconds I reached my destination and wandered around in a haze admiring the old-fashioned lucite houses with their extremely large bay windows. I bought a newspaper, The Daily Blow from a newspaper boy, and in large headlines I read that Madame Fifi Eleanora, a

Parisian model, was appearing at the Slick Chick Style Show. I was determined to attend the affair of astonished women. A I inquired from a pedestrian as to the location of the Slick Chick Style Shop. I found my way to the heavenly looking joint, and got in on my snappy appearance. I was astounded at the appearance of an old friend on the stage. She gave me a greeting with a shriek and a Why Buschy, ya old son-of-a- gun . Well, l nearly fell over. It was Eleanor I!! We chatted on as she had her wrinkles rnassaged. The odor of cheap perfume set me dizzy. But I was quickly revived by smelling salts, and bade my friend Eleanor farewell. I began my return trip to Hayfield. ' Irreturned home, and was much pleased at seeing old friends and classmates. My Travels continued, and my shoes grew thinner. What a wonderful lazy life. CLASS HISTORY Cn August 31, a group of 17 offspring entered the Hayfield School building to begin their twelve years of study. Among these were Elaine Fric and Eleanor jakoubek. Mary Ann Wellik brought her pencils and crayons to join the class a little later on in the year. Our patient teacher, Miss Mabel Earp, helped us in our adjustment to this new life. Our second year took away and added new class members. With these was Mildred Busch. We all dreaded to leave our beloved teacher, but we soon got used to our third grade room and teacher, and the different atmosphere. We trudged on through more years of fun and experience, and of course the inevitable. W01'k!! We all have II1eII10I-'ies of those years. ' Sheryl drifted in from a rural school, and continued earning her diploma from the sixth grade on. Then came the time of graduation from the eighth grade. Every girl had a new dress and a bright locket or some remembrance. There was larger class, with a few boys. Each of the thirteen got a red diploma,.and a shaky feeling inside. Our Freshman year was a meek year for a group of green brilliants. We knew all there was to know, but a few days in High School told us a little different. Our High School years have been great. We've been able to enjoy every year of it, and only wished we could live parts of those past years over again. , We want to thank our teachers, parents, and community for giving us an edu- cation, and helping us through the critical times of our' lives. Soon we'll be out in the great world to gather knowledge without our books and teachers. We are sure we will do justice to our school and our learning.
