CLASS PROPHECY As we step into our stratospheric plane, the invention of the century by George Zissis, professor of Science at Yale University, we settle back in our comfortable chairs close to our television set so that we may takefa peek into the lives of the Alumni of 1940. We leave the ground and soar through space. Pres' ently we push the magic button and stop at our Alma Mater, Lebanon High School. We find Ray Darnell seated at the principals desk. In the outer office we End the dean of women, Ruth Wilhoite. Cn the desk of Principal Darnell we see a familiar paper. It is the list of the faculty. The journalism teacher is Ruth Neptune. We can't say we are surprised. She always had a knack for such things. Oh, goodness! can you believe it? Betty Burgess and Martha jackson are co-teachers of physical education for the boys. Norma Megley has finally real- ized her ambition and is now honorable teacher of Home Economics. Speaking of journalism, that brings to our minds ten years ago when we worked on the Pennant staff. Evelyn Salts was editor then. Paul Cox, another staff member, fs now the owner of a shoe polish factory. We hear he has invented a polish which requires less elbow action. I recall the sports writers of that time, Frank Donaldson and Bob Sanford. Frank surely has gone places. He is the presidential candidate for 1954. Of course the age limit in the Constitution will have to be changed, but that is only a small matter. Oh, well, he can say he got his start when the class of '40 elected him as their class president. Bob Sanford has taken over the Ford Manu' facturing plant and is now making a new automobile called the Dinky. Reluctantly, we switch the dial and take leave of our high school. As I sit musing, a smile creeps over my face. I simply have to smile as I think of the clown I saw last week in Quentin White's circus. By the way, Quentin stands in the corner and serves as chief barker for this outfit. Now back to the clown. As I walked in, he came up to me with a blank look on his face, and who should it be but Dick Dutch. Two very famous midgets are also with his circus. You remember them I'm sure, Anna Mae Hays and Kenneth Perkins. Comrades Bzck and Boyland, L. H. S. jitterbugs, now amaze the crowds by doing their unique steps on an 8 x 10 disk, suspended in the air and fastened to the belt of Charles Strong Man Lusk. Of course, Jane Crowl and Bob Long are still doing that Cscar the Flea act they pulled at Homecoming ten years ago? But if they get paid for it, why should we worry. It is now 7 o'clock and quickly we turn the tele' vision dial to 85 0. We just couldn't miss The Melody Hour sponsored by the Elton Williams Farm Implements Corporation, featuring junior Sharpe and his orchestra. With the band, we find the Four Sharpesf' Glenrose Gayer, Imogene Miller, Jean Clemens and Mildred Gayer. Sh! wait a minute! Mr. Sharpe has just made an imporf tant announcement. Alada Witt and Jack Alexander, the sensational dance team on his program, are leaving the show to make their screen debut in Do You Bounce Bowling Balls?l' What a beautiful voice Virginia Hart has. All the critics declare Mr. Sharpe very lucky to be able to present such a talented concert soloist. jackie Wilcox and Patricia Chumlea have lost three or four pounds and are modeling the latest Parisian fash' ions of Schiaparelli for such outstanding New York celeb' rities as the Misses Bonnie Lough, Jessie Mae George and Phyllis Winkler. Don and Eileen Broshar are now makf ing a nice sum of money posing for a soap company as L'The Gold Top Twins. Also in the modeling field is Ruth Chandler who has taken up posing for tooth paste ads. junior Warren has found his place in the sun with the Max Factor Company modeling the very smartest shades of rouge. Also in the modeling world is Doris Rogers who models diamond bracelets in Carl Fellers '5 E99 10c store. The paper reveals that Dr. Ritchie Coons is experif menting in his laboratory to find out why minds func' tion-like the one possessed by Charles Campbell. Every' one says he should go far with Mrs. Coons fformerly Betty Custerj acting as chief surgical nurse. Anna Mae Highland, Elizabeth White and Barbara Martin, noted social workers, are doing their bit to clean up warftorn China. Here in the corner we see that Bette Harmon has sailed on a mission to Europe. It is rumored that she is shopping for and perhaps will buy her seventh husband. With her as her companion and private secretary, goes Aliene Poer. Her main duty is to keep a record of all Bette's matrimonial victims. Virginia Craig has invented padding for the inside of automobiles to prevent head injuries in auto accidents. We find Marie Fellmy in Hollywood gaining her fortune by using her expressive hands to double for actresses. Mr. and Mrs. James Turner fSara Aitkensj are investf ing their spare cash in the jim Turner E? Son Trucking Company. Keith Sample won for himself a place in the literary world. In 1947 he won the Pulitzer prize for his comedy drama I Wanna Go Home. This play, featuring the star of screen and radio, Sonny Shelby, is considered the top box ofhce hit of the year. A fairly unknown actress, Katherine Ragsdale, recently made her debut in the play The Old Maid and has been proclaimed by many as the successor of Katherine Cornell. We find john Johnson still trying to make it through Hazel College. He goes to school two days, then misses four. He declares school makes him tired so he is just taking his time. Wilbur Small, now sheriff of Boone County, recently got his picture in the paper for capturf ing two fugitives from the chain gang, Elmo Blubaugh and Billy Stewart. Don Watts, the Powder Puff Pelter, defeated Joe Louis in Madison Square Garden in 1949, winning for himself the World's Heavyweight Champion- ship title. At the present time he is in Miami for his next bout with the challenger, jim Laughner. Arthur Gleb, owner of the Avon theater, recently announced the presentation of Fled with the Breeze, by Morris Adair, featuring the newly proclaimed oomph girl, Rosemary Colgrove. Dick DeLong feels Bell made a great mistake when he invented the telephone and sits fContinued on Page 56j -nf 20 1'-
