Lytf THE TALISMAN Div 9 Class Prophecy Let us suppose for a minute that we can see into the future. I have here in my hand a remarkable watch. On the face of it is a se- ries of years, not numbers as on the ordinary watch. Shall we turn the needle to a future date, say ten years from now? Well, well, here we are in the middle of a very comical street. The houses are topsy- turvy and upside-down. As we are hungry, we look for a place to eat. Soon we spy a curious restaurant. The tables are upside- down, the dishes are suspended by some magical arrangement in the mid-air. There are few patrons in this restaurant. Soon 'the proprietor enters, it is none other than our old friend, Alfred Chrzan. He walks on his hands, does a neat flip in front of us, and rights himself. He mumbles something unin- telligible, does a handstand, and walks on his hands back to the kitchen. We rush out of this unusual house. All of a sudden we see a great cloud of dust coming toward us. As it comes closer. we see that it is a car. It passes us like a comet. Some bystander says, There goes Caron of United Foodsg he's their high pres- sure salesman. You see him coming, blink your eyes, and he's gone. Then we step upon a moving sidewalk and are carried along to the next street. As we are going along, we notice a plaque upon which is inscribed, Invented and Patented by H. Alice Eddy. Where did this girl get her mechanical ability? Probably from all the time she spent in the lab of Huntington High School. This moving sidewalk lets us off in front of the offices of Iacquelyn Westerberg, No- tary Public, known all over the world for her ability to secure a victory for a client. Also along this moving sidewalk we see a very fashionable school. It is run by none other than George Donovan. lt is known all over town for its very latest methods and tech- niques in the modern commercial world. Then we take an aerial taxi to the house on 92nd Street where an old friend of ours lives. It is none other than Eleanore Cole. Eleanore is the wife of a former Vice-Admiral. Now he is known all over this city for his work in the field of radio. lt was he who finally contacted Mars by radar. It is close to evening when we are attract- ed by an electrical sign which has on it in five-foot letters the words Iahala R. Pease, Interior Decorator. Upon inquiring we under- stand that she is one of the greatest women in her field. Upon entering this shop we are sur- prised to find a most unusual exhibit of the latest samples in interior paint, new wall pa- per, and new furnishings. The main feature of this display is a mon- strous machine. Upon a screen of this ma- chine we see a girls' basketball game in progress coached by none other than Sylvia Campo. lf it were not for her brilliant work, basketball would have died out in this vi- cinity. The scene changes, and we see the Presi- dent of the United States making a speech. Seated beside him is none other than Miss Betty Dugas, his secretary. She says the train- ing she received at H. H. S. has brought her this success. Then we see an indistinct figure upon this screen, but it finally becomes clear after fad- ing many times. Beneath this figure are a few words and a name. This name we all know- Lucille Gamble. She is now the greatest wom- an Representative there ever was in Con- gress. She represents the State of Alabama. Lucille is a southern gal now. We give one last glance at this unusual watch before putting it back in the case and find inscribed on its face Patented by Leon- ard Lagoy. Leonard is now Father Lagoy, a missionary in Arabia. Lucille Gamble Leonard Lagoy

8 kjtl THE TALISMAN Div Class History As I sit here in my homeroom waiting for the bell to ring and the day's classes to be- gin, my thoughts drift back to the days passed in high school. Now the time has come for eleven determined seniors to look back at their four years of hard work and fun. Dreaming, as I often do, I see twenty-one happy, ambitious and bewildered freshmen as they entered Huntington High School in l942. All were eager to obtain their high school diplomas and go out into the world as better citizens. Our freshman year was one merry-go-round of excitement in acquainting ourselves with the social life and with the industrious and democratic ways of living. Our first social event, the Freshman Recep- tion, was looked upon with much anticipation and fear. As I drift with these thoughts, I imagine myself as a freshman again facing the initiation with shaking knees but with brave heart. When the task was over we en- joyed dancing anci playing games. After the reception, we began to feel more at home and to show our upper classmen more respect. A slight breeze is stirring outside, bending the tops of trees to and fro, whispering in low murmurs the memories of the past, and so we enter our sophomore year. My dream ambles on to our sophomore year which was one of wit and understand- ing for the freshmen who entered H. H. S. that year. As sophomores, we were quite accustomed to our surroundings and began to take more interest in the social affairs which add to the color of school life. My thoughts ramble on to our adventurous junior year in which the excitement and en- thusiasm far surpassed the previous year. The nucleus around which our activities were centered was the Iunior Prom. The strik- ing colors surrounding the May-pole in the center of the hall made an extremely attrac- tive appearance. The evening was lovely as colorful lights flashed merrily on the swirling couples as they danced gracefully. The ex- citement of the Prom slipped by, and another year had passed. Now as I gaze out of the window into the bright blue of the sky, a sparkling silver air- plane glides across the horizon like a symbol of peace and smooth sailing to our senior year. Our last year was one of the busiest of our high school careers with the ordering of caps and gowns, writing of essays, and planning for the Commencement Ball. At last we face graduation with glad but serious thoughts of the future and a touch of sadness at leaving our friends and good old Huntington High School.
