FUTURE FLIGHTS SENIOR CLASS PROPHECY Time 1960 Let us climb into our new monoplane and take a trip to see what has become of the good old senior class of 1941. As we step into the plane, we discover that our pilot is Bill Billingsley, that mischevious senior back in '41. Our first stop will be Argentina. Out in front of a large ranch house whom do we see but Russell Parker, that tall guy who tried to grow mustaches when he was a kid. He is the owner of a large plantation, and he now has a wife and several children. After a talk of old forgotten times, and some to be forgotten, back into the plane we are seated and ready for the next stop which is Washington, D. C. Here we visit the presi- dent, and some of his crew . Inside the huge white structure we find Betty Rivey who is private secretary to the president. After leaving here we fly southward and decide to stop near Camp Claiborne to refuel. Who should ccme out to refuel our plane but Max Jacobson. And look who is behind him!! It is Bessie Nason, who is now Mrs. Max Jacobson. Leaving here we speed toward Texas, but because of bad weather we are forced to land and spend the night on a dude ranch which prove's to be Bill Watson's. He greets us with the old wide smile and asks us to stay all night. Many old times and remembrances are brought back to mind. The next morning after getting up bright and early We fly up to Tacoma, Washington, to visit John Morrell and Co. As we enter the oHice of the general manager, what do we see??'?? It's Verna Briggs sitting on her boss's knee taking-dictation ??? But we mustn't disturb them so we will quietly make our way out of the building. As we wing our way onward we decide to stop at Glendale, Iowa. A new high school has just been built, due to the large popu- lation brought by the ammunition plant at Burlington. We decide to take a tour through the building and are introduced to the new superintendent of the school. This happens to be Erma Jacobson.- Up and ready to go again we journey to- ward Chicago, Illinois. Stopping at the Chil- dren's hospital we see the giggly Lillian Wolf entering her second childhood. But-no she is the supervisor and serves as our guide on our tour through the hospital. She is old and gray now and her curly hair is disap- pearing, but of course what is left is as curly as ever. Flying on and on through the skies New York City appears upon the horizon. Here we visit Maizie's and learn about the latest fashions. Who should be conducting the style show but the curly headed fnow a peroxideb Lucille Carlson. Winding our way homeward we stop and visit the Munitions Plant, which has now grown to be very large. As we return to our plane, who should be there but Betty Griffin. She informs us that she is waiting for her husband, Mr. Billingsley, who is one of the supervisors of the plant. Nearing our destination, we decide to make one last stop, at Mt. Pleasant, Iowaf As we are in Mt. Pleasant of course we would visit the largest corporation in the world, none other than the VORHIES APPLIANCE SHOP. Who comes out from behind the counter??? Why of course Etheline Jacobs, who we later learn, is now Mrs. Ronnie Vorhies.

To the juniors we leave our seats in the assembly. To the sophomores we give our strong sup- port, feeling that they may need it. To the freshmen we leave the overflowing pep of our members. To the faculty we leave the memories of the measures to which we went to have a good time. To the janitor we leave our dirt. Bill Billingsley leaves his love for Marcella to Guy Messer and his driving ability to his brother, Donald. Russell Parker leaves his ability to grow a mustache to Carl Carlson and his girl, Betty Hopkirk, to Bruce Reed. Bill Watson leave his bluffing to Harold Graber and the twinkle in his eye to Carroll Ouverson. Betty Rivey leaves her brown eyes to Ber- nice Linn and her love for James to Dorothy Billingsley.
