The Shilfs Log t PROPHECY One evening in the year of 1950 as we were roaming around in our specially designed glass bottom rocket ship, we found below us the class of '42 in their present activities of life. , We seemed to be looking into a dress shop and- found Emily modelling a gorgeous evening gown on a graceful and attractive model, Dorcas Klinker. 'As we continued- our journey we saw in Disney Studio, Robert Barkley, who has finally reached his goal in the movies. We later learned he had been hired by Disney to disguise his voice as Pluto. Our next view was Ham Guenin's Beauty Shop, in which we found Alberta polishing Luman's toe nails. Passing over a desolate spot, we saw a demolished plane. lt seems that George Saal- frank stood his pretty hostess, Mary Iane Corville, on her head while attempting to make a belly landing after he had lost his landing gears on Bingen Beacon. At this stage of our journey we landed long enough to hear a broadcast by Louena over station S. A, P. She was giving gymnastic lessons for plump young spinsters. Ori Monday she gets her clients all tangled up and it takes all the rest of the week to straighten them out. One of her regular clients is Rowena Barkley. Before taking off we visited the Clayton College which was founded by Miss Hazel Clayton in 1947. This college, formerly noted for fine basketball, has been going on the down grade since hiring Mr. Charles Weilbaker as head coach. After resuming our journey we gazed into the Toy Department of Wolf 6. Dessauer and found Betty Bumgardner who had just bought a miniature train for Iames, Ir. As we were passing over the Boston Stadium we heard the tremendous roaring of the fans as Boston captured the World Series, with Minnie Scherer holding down the short stop position and Slugger Hisner slugging the winning home run. After a short hop to New York we found in a swanky district Bob Dehnert punch drunk and broken hearted. Bob retired from the amateur ring to be ruled around in a cozy home run by a ruling Landlady Georganna. Continuing our flight, we found in a laboratory Madam Ioan Sorg who has just dis- covered a new vitamin, namely vitamin U+, which she claims gives will power to students on the down grade. - As we pass over the Hall of Fame we see the portraits of Dow Counterman and Gertrude Mailand, who were honored for their cure of bedbugs. Their formula was as follows: two tablespoons of arsenic to one teaspoon of strychnine, followed by a glass of water. After this you should be bothered no more by bedbugs. While flying over a certain army camp, not to be mentioned because of military secrets, we heard Reveille played by our great Luman Whittern, who gained fame in our Brass Section at Hoagland. While the ship was taking its own course we glided over into Europe and found Frances Griebel and Edna Rorick in their Red Cross uniforms bending over some Iap, with o. slug in his head. As Frances bravely removed the slug, we heard Edna exclaim: Make him stop bleeding before I faintl From the battlefields of Europe we traveled to the Islands of Hawaii to find an en- thusiastic farmer, Donald Bohnke, busily plowing with his jitterbug tractor in the mountains of Honolulu. ' Then we continued over the deepest and darkest Africa to find Glenn Flora and Harold Gerardot hunting d-e-afr. Returning to Hoagland we find Alice Hoffman leading the Glee Club and Irene M-inich who liked Hoagland school too well to leave it. She is employed as Chambermaid. We next came to a small village. All at once a crowd of young folks came out of a school building, followed by a young teacher. When we saw her more closely we found her to be Ruth Mae Hile. What a surprise to find that Herb Uffelman had started through the grades again. ' I 15
