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
