C. by the 8enlors—May 13-18. The serenity of Mount Vernon, the solemnity of Arlington National cemetery, the colossal Washington Monument, the tomb-quiet Library of Congress, the immensity of the Bureau of Engraving and Printing, the majesty of the Capitol, the graceful White House, the fascination of the Smithsonian Insti- tute are a few of the lasting impressions made on the Seniors.

CLASS PHROPHECY Lot's go dreaming into the future to see what's happening in the year of 61. I can see the Loogootee senior class still roaming as we did in school• Arriving on the early train from Bloonington, good old Loogootee looked Just the same. Having nowhere to go, I decided to walk around town to see whoe I could. I noticed a police officer cruising around and to my surprise it was no one but Ray Norris, the poet of our class. This was my chance to find out about some of my friends. After talking for several minutes, I was told that Rosalie Porter and Ed Abner were happily married. Two sets of twins graced their happy home. This wasn't a surprise to me as they were old sweethearts of L.H.S. I then bade him good-bye and continued on my way. Passing the J.C. Store, not watching where I was going, I bumped into Jim Farrell, who was now the manager. Glancing through the window, whom did I see but Don Nolan who was still posted at his regular Job, Chief Butcher . I asked Jim if Don was married and he said that he had Just returned from his homeymoon in Florida with his bride, Virginia Clark. Asking about other friends I learned that Fay Sutton was now a famous dress designer in New York, and that Norma Gibson had finally landed her one-and-only and was now living in California. He also informed me that Betty Wildman had bought the Diamond Cafe so my next stop was going to be there. When I got there, I was told that Betty was not in so I said that I would wait for her. As I was waiting who should walk in but my old pal Pauline Blair, who was now Mrs. Vernon Heliums. After listening to her for awhile, I learned nothing. Pauline had not changed a bit since our days at L.H.S. Betty soon returned and we talked about our school days together. I learned from her that Bettie Cochran and Bill Hart had finally gotten together and were now living in Jasper. She also told me that Betty Walton and Gordon Bough were married and owned a large turkey farm south or town. After eating my breakfast, Betty called me a taxi because I wanted to go to Crane where a couple of my Classmates lived. I thanked Betty for her trouble and was on my way to Crane. When I arrived I stopped in at the Crane Resturant where I saw my old friend, Dave Browning, who was now the owner. He was glad to see me and asked me to sit down and talk over old times with him. He told me that he and Dolores Campbell and been married for the past seven years; he also said that Sue Franklin and Jimmie Callahan were married and lived in Odon with their three children—all girls of course. V e talked awhile longer then I told Dave that I must be getting back to Loogootee. Back at Loogootee I met Bob Raney as he was coming out of the Dime Store. I stopped to tal with him and when I asked him what he was doing he said that he was playing Pro. basketball and was married to Janet Jones. He also told me that Tim Strange and Alice Acton were married and were the parents of five sets of twin boys. When I asked him about another good ball player, Bob Larkin, he said that Bob was singing in a famous nightclub in Hollywood and had become very popular for his singing voice. I told Bob that it was good seeing him again and walked on. Well, now that I had nowhere to go I decided I would stop In at the Triangle to eat lunch. While I was eating, my good friend, Imogene Krodel, came in and sat down beside me; she told me that she was giving a party at her house that night for some of her friends and would be very happy if I could come. I told her that I would be glad to. After talking for awhile, she said that she must go now and get things ready for her party; she told me that she would see me at seven and left. I waited around until about six and by that time I was so excited that I couldn't wait any longer to go to Imogene's. I was sure she wouldn't mind my being a little early. When I arrived at her house, Essie Raney and Barbara Smith were already there. I asked them where Bob and Bill were and they said that they were at home baby sitting with the children, Essie and Bob had a boy and a girld and Barbara and Bill had two Boys. Dorothy Street, Catherine Tedrow, and Agnes Tomey were the first guests to arrive. Dorothy told me that she had a Beauty Parlor and was doing very well. Agnes is still engaged to Dean; I wonder how much longer it will linger. Catherine is teaching Home Ec. at L.H.S. and doing a very good Job from the reports. She told me that another of my classmates, Nelson Young, was teaching PROPHECY CONTINUED Agriculture. I guessed by this time that this was to be a hen party. The evening was very enjoyable. I stayed all night with Imogene. The next morning after breakfast Imogene loaned me one of her cars and I resumed my search. Driving through town I noticed a sign reading, Michaels Super Service . I was curious and pulled in and found Just what I had expected, the owner was Joe Michaels. He told me that Joe Doyle had become Mayor of Loogootee. I also learned that Richard Clements had formed a Minstrel Show, and was touring the country. Richard was the star of course. I thanked Joe for his information and took to the road once more. Trying to revive old memories, I decided to drive past the W-H building; I discovered however that the building had been greatly enlarged and was now the Farm Bureau. Hoping I might find a little more information, I stopped and found that Dean Borders and Bernadine Braun were the co-owners. I was happy to find them doing so well. I asked them about their old friend, Bernie Fields, and found out that he owned the beggest farm in Martin County and was a very successful farmer. They said that Bernie had married Barbara Walton about five years ago. Dean said that Dottie Cooley and Byron Robinson were married and owned the Shady Nook Cabins. Thanking them for their information, I told them I must be on my way. One my way back to town I saw a sign that said, Loogootee Municipal Airport , something new had been added. I thought I would drive past and look it over. I stopped in front of the flight office and saw a stewardess coming out who looked very familiar. As she approached, I saw it was Betty Garrett. We went into the SPIV INN and swapped tales over a cup of coffee. I learned that Don Butch Butcher and Jack Butcher owned the SPIN INN . Butch told me that Jim Norris was the president of the flying firm, and Jerry Norris was the vice president. Betty told me that Eddie Pride was the chief pilot of the airlines, and that Bill Pielemeier was a very prosperous flying farmer. Find- ing my time running short, I said good-bye and left. I took Imogene's car back to her and thanker her for letting me use it. On my way to the depot I passed a large building with a large neon sign reading Meyers Plymouth Sales . Stopping in, I found Dale Meyers the owner. He had come a long way since 1951. Having little time, I made my visit short and started out. Passing through the show room, I saw Jesse Parsons. He was the head salesman; I Just spoke and hurried toward the depot because I didn't want to miss my train. My husband would be furious, as I had missed the first one. I heard someone yell behind me and turning around I saw Roger Shotgun Kidwell running toward me. He told me that he was the owner of a large circas and wanted to give me a free pass for his show; he also said that his old classmate, Glen McAtee, was his strong man act. I could hardly picture that, but then I hadn't seen him in ten years. Don Spalding was his lion tamer. Shotgun told me that he tried to get all of his classmates to be in his circus, but he could only manage to sign up a few. His Flying Trio was LaVerne Huebner. LaVerne Pennington, and Jim Strange, better known as Juicy . Alanson Abel ana Rinzie Ziegler and Don Hembree were a trio singing Irish Ballads ; Jerry Bradley was the ringmaster. Checking my list I found I had succeeded in finding what had happened to my friends. Roger offered me a good Job in his circus, but I told him that Dub and our four children occupied all of my time, but I like the Job. I boarded my train, tired but happy to have seen my friends once more.

Loogootee got possession of the ball at tipoff and after stalling for a while Jack Butcher drove under for a layup shot and zoom, Loogootee was in the final game of the sectional. That night everyone except the Loogootee fans thought the Lions would be too tired to beet the Cardinals, but they didn’t think this for long, for the Lions soon took the lead and held onto it to win.
