TI-IE LIBERTY BELL Page Fifteen SENIOR CLASS PROPHECY Often when I think of the pranks of mischief, the likes and dislikes of my classmates I wonder if they will influence their later life. I wonder if their lives will run the way they are started. I think of the advertisements I have read about men who can portray future life by their looks or by prominent features of their countenance and the whole affaiij amuses me. It was in one of these spells that, slangly speaking, my imagination ran wild. I see the world well advanced. I do not even recognize my surroundings. I was lost. I looked about me and the first thing I saw was a high tower unlike anything else I had ever seen before, rising hundreds of feet into the air. I became interested in it at once and made my Way to it. On entering the structure I recognized Esther Dreisbach. who, because of her ability to rise above her classmates, was operating the elevator. On reaching the top I saw at a glancc the purpose of the tower. It was a fueling station for airplanes and there was Ty Elenis cranking gas into one. We sure were glad to see each other, He treated me to a bottle of pop and while we were discussing old times there came a deafening roar and a plane landed on a little runway beside a gas pump. I recognized it to be Richard Hoctel and beside him was Wanda Light, and my Word! if there wasn't Ralph Burner and Beatrice Kirtland in the rumble seat, They got some gas and were soon on their way. Ty left his Wife, Lucille Payne, in charge of the station and together we boarded his private plane to look around a bit. Of 'course the plane had to get engine trouble and we were forced down for repairs. On walking down Main street I recognized quite a few of my classmates. I saw Cecil Lemons, the manager of a grocery store, and just as I passed I saw him picking out some oranges for a customer who I recognized to be Alberta Krauss. I l We saw the sign Romick Brothers, Airplane Supplies. On entering We found Rex sitting in a comfortable chair but were informed that Robert was in the hospital from an auto- mobile accident. We hurried over to see him at once. We found him recovering nicely after having skidded on an icy pavement. I-Ie was cared for by quite a few good looking nurses nf whom I recognized Madeline Boos, Julia Hogan and Alice Shaw. I saw another lady, Gyneth Downing, sitting by his bedside who I took to be his wife. We made our repairs and soon were off again. We traveled to the city of New York and after searching many days among the millions of people for the rest of our class of '29 I found only three. Ruth Poe was a radio speaker and told bed-time stories to the kiddies every Monday. Thursday and Saturday nights. We stopped at the home of Raymond Wiler and also at Johnny Cramer's. Both these men became decidedly rich. Raymond became the head of a manufacturing company of novelties. while Johnny Cramer, the world famous gum chewer, became rich by endorsing cigarettes. At last We became tired of searching and decided we'd have to look nearer home for our friends. We left our airplane and returned by auto. As we neared home we saw Dick Huff- man's car sitting along the road, out of gas. Dick is still a farmer, said his crops are coming along line and if it don't rain it will be a nice day tomorrow. XVe agreed with him and after talking a short while, gave him some gas and started on. Next we passed a house where Charles Clark and Alice Boyd lived a very peaceful life. Next a movie scene presented itself. I saw Gail and Schoony in the audience. They had been married quite a while and lived in Liberty Township. As the movie proceeded I was more than surprised to see John Price and Audra Day on the screen. They had gone west shortly after graduation and had not been heard of since. The next scene took place in the city of Benton Ridge where Leslie Cramer was delivering his weekly sermon. Audra Beucler is now a minister's wife and is the society leader there. Benton was now quite a promising city ol nearly five hundred inhabitants. As a last scene the thought of old I-, H, S. came to me. It looked much the same as before. One globe was still broken and O! I danced for joy, the A'Class of '29 was at last printed on one of the globes. The old busses have long been gone and new ones in their place, As the first one drew up I saw Gerald Wolfe driving it. It was his job, I learned, to care for the trucks. Continued ro Page Twcnry-Five
