LL E 33 -rp 19 .. ' f-W4 - 4 SENIOR CLASS PROPHECY Professor Lee Kelly, D. D., and Assistant Professor Herbo Lane, G. O. O. F., had completed their model spectrum and it was ready for trialg so we, Captain Von Wesley of the 124th division marines of Ethiopia, and Doctor Eugene Rice, of Chillicothe, Japan, have just completed our trip in the spectrum. This aircraft was proved to be quite safe, as we made a trip taking in the Moon, Mars, Jupiter, Neptune, Chicago, and back to good old Empire Township, rah! rah! Our first stop was at the moon. On arriving at the airport, the first person we saw was our old classmate and former president, Jessie Brittin Lowe. We heard funny noises, and presently her husband, Paul, and little Paul Junior, came in sight. After a chat with the Lowes, we went to the Moberly-Fentress Hotel, Inc. It was quite a. delightful place. That evening Dr. Rice suggested seeing a movie, so we hopped in Chester's model T. N. T. a speedy 1948 car. Of all happy happenings, our old pal Stanley Mason was discovered playing opposite Cupid, Wilma Moran, in Moon-Eyed Sal. It was a very, very good show. Early next morning we were ready to depart, so Doc Rice, our renowned athlete of high school days, lit the fuse of the spectrum and hopped in. After some time, Capt. Wesley sighted land and insisted on stopping for an aspirin for his terrible headache. On entering a drug store We beheld behind the counter William Builta, who told us that he was running a prosperous business there. We decided to spend a few days there on Mars before going to Jupiter, so we went down to the beach and had a nice little chat with Mildred Roggy and Pauline Woodrey, two of the famous bathing beauties of Mars. That evening we were invited to a banquet given by Don Davenport in honor or Miss Virginia Strayer, the world-famous songbird from Afghanistan. The following morning, Sunday, we went to church. Well of all things! Jack Kirnler was the preacher! Aren't you surprised? He announced that at high noon he would solemnize the marriage of Vera Banner and Roger Swede Oleson. fAnother result of Cupid's stupiditylj After the wedding we departed for Jupiter. A youngster thrust a newspaper in our faces, and there we saw a political advertisement stating that Ernest Robbins was running for President. After visiting our friend, Ernie, and expressing our hopes for a successful campaign, we decided to go to Chicago. We wanted to see Miss Rose Mary Michael, the famous dress-designer from Paris, who we had heard was in Chicago on business, so we landed at the new fiying field there. ' Our vacation time was getting shorter, so we took off for home. On walking out to the hangars, we saw Ettaregina Hagen and Helen McManus standing by one of the planes. It was certainly a surprise to us to find that Helen had taken up flying. They said they were on their way to Madrid, so Ettaregina could arrive in time for the fall opening of the Opera where she was to appear as accompanist to Mlle Janitskowky. We proceeded to our trusty spectrum and took off for the Land of Reality, good old Mother Earth, to begin anew in the hustle and bustle of our workshop and to endure the noise and grind of our machinery. ...- ze- ,gag is W I
