SENIOR PROPHECY We're going to leave the present and glide on our magic oarpet into the far-away future. We are gaz- ing down on the class of 1950 to see whether or not the efforts of the LHS faculty were entirely fruitless. Since our magic carpet is jet-propelled, we can .make all the various places in record time and see all tlhe many countries to which our classmates have wandered in the course of the past twenty-five years. We After luncheon we visit a Moslem mosque at circle an air field and swoop down to the nearest jet greeted by Mr. Jack Watt, professionai jet mechanic greets us graciously from 'her snack shop on the air there, we meet one of the screen's most popular dance route to Indonesia where they will make their new station which happens to be Honolvu-lu where we are and chemist. His wife, the former Lillie Grindstaff, field and bids us come in for a light luncheon. While teams, Mary Margaret Ruehter and Jim Heimer, en- picture. Bombay and find priest, Ben McAlister, lighting cand- les for the next service wvhile his organist, Beverly Hammer, plays soft, reverent music. We chat briefly with Priest McAlister and then leave our friends and go to the famous gambling casino run by Mr. Logan Morris and his wife, the former Miss Dorothy Haines. We lhad lost a vast sum in here before, so we stay only a few minutes to say hello and journey immediately back to Canada in our repaired plane: to be on time for the annual ski meet at Lake Placid where Arch Skelton, and his competitor, James Garner, are preparing to try the 'highest jump from Mount Peanuft. Farther along, we see Dr. Junior Frasher and his charming wife, Harriette Farrow, who are taking a siesta beneath the palm trees on the icy banks of the St. Lawrence. At this point of our journey ye old jet collapses and we are forced to board a ferry which is piloted by Mr. and Mrs. Lee Summerlin. We cruise down the Susquehanna River to the Thousand Isl-ands wihere we come upon the Misses Bunny Pickell, Zelma Wilmot, -and Emily Clarke frantically harvesting Thousand Island dressing to accommodate their bu-mper crop of Iceblurg lettuce. We anchor our 'boat in Chesterfield Bfay, a mall inlet of the Misses-Hippy River, and through the cour- tesy of -the Kessler Cab Company, we are transported to the Danner Hoe-tail, owned and operated by Uhl Danner and 'his partner, Jerry McKean. We rest up over night and next day visit the Chamber of Com- merce and arrange for a planned tour of the city. Chamber of Commerce secretary, Bobrby Warner, is very hospitable and soon a skilled guide, Paul Thompson, attired in coon cap and jacket, arrives. So here we are touring New York City, the frontier town of the East. K Our first stop takes us to the CopacaVanCamp club and Shirley Hzer, cigarette girl, meets us at the door. The orchestra featured tonight is Snooky Kendrick with his voca-list, Marie Thomas. Don Olds, the French waiter, brings our order and afterwards we enjoy a number by the Three Moons, a tonette trio com- posed of Eunice Meyers, Dorothy Helm, and Barney Rostine. Following the floor show, our guide takes us to the 'historic Purple Cuckoo Rest Home for the Peaked, run by Joan Giorza and her thelp-mate, Dr. Tommy 1Sawbonesl Jackson. We passed the fabulous Homfeld Art Institute on our way to the Shipman Flower Shop and we notice that the Vickers' Last Rofund Up Funeral Parlor is conveniently located across the street. As we re-enter the city, we see our old friend, Jim Tabb, valiantly endeavoring to render Military Escort with 'his Salvation Army band. We now head for the Mule Train Bus Depot, operated by Jimmy Wallace, where we go far west to Tarpon Springs, Florida, and see Barbara Priddy just going down in search of Sponges while her husband, W. K. Waddell, struggles with the oxygen equipment. Shirley Yeoman and her husband, Delbert Rodenberg, are hunting turkey buzzards in the Everglade Forrest, directly soubh of the Seminole Reservation. On this reservation we find four Greek missionaries from London: Allice Beretta, Ameen Stomboly, Lenora Guevel, and Bobby Nicola. We put up for the night at Lavaun Morris' motel just east of the Edwards' Last Chance T-avern. La V-aun serves luscious cooling drinks to us and from here our newly acquired yacht takes off for South America where Miss Rose Mary Cretzmeyer, leader -of an expedi- tion to capture nascent oxygen, is showing her fellow scientists, Gloria M-auntino, Rhodesia Mussatto, and Beatrice Mavel. just how to keep from losing any while bottling it. Near at Ihand, archeologists for the Nation- al Geographic Society, Francis Carter, 'Dommy Frasher, and Lee Hoeflicker, are pondering over some relics while the photographers, the Misses Shirley Baker, Shirley Collobert, and Doris Hackley are shooting scenes of the group at work. At Santiago, Chile, which is our next stop, boats have weighed anchor and two of our old chums may be recognized as Spanish traders. They are none other than John Jenkins and Bobby Sommerville. Their speciality for today seems to be hand-woven stocking caps and they are going like hot cakes. Away from the docks and in the center of town stands 'the Columbian Library founded by the generous and benevolent Misses Marjorie Clevenger, Lenora Guevel, -and Jimetta Lewis,who are now jointly he-iresses of the Ford fortune. Time marches on, and so do we, to the starting point of our trip. Arriving on a Greyhound bus, we are welcomed home by Miss Dolly Mussatto, who operates the bus station, and immediately are ushered to the Wulfekamfmer Cafe where Miss Shirley Schumacher joins us at our table to hear about our trip. Miss Schu- macher now owns the shirt factory and she tells us that wvhile we were gone, the Whitley's grocery burned down. FLASHY FLASH ! ! ! Miss Beverly Riley was re-elected Mayor of Lexington. And so back again to the present, and our final days at LHS. Best of luck and may the future be as rosy as we -have predicted? ? ? S
