She got the drop on all violators of the law when they saw how she handled a gun. Miss Roberts had left L. H. S. to become the wife of a well-known gentleman. She found domestic life much better than trying to teach dopey” kids. She pitied Louise Mawyer; Louise was now Senior teacher and was really having trouble getting her pupils to act like digni¬ fied persons. Anne Trice, of course to be near Louise, was Lovingston High’s vocal instructor. She had little difficulty reaching the high C’s. -Marion Lincoln was living on his farm at the Fortune Place . He had so much stock that he had to take inventory every month or so. Steve Jones was Lovingston High’s nev; principal. He had accepted the job only on the condition that he could spank ail of the bad kids. Mr. Delk was in the air—liquid air I He had discovered what would keep it from getting too cold.

SENIOR CLASS PROPHECY I haven’t had the craziest dream--no, it lies beyond dreaming--but a vision so realistic that something convinces me that the destiny of my classmates must be as I predict. Whom should I see but Mary and Thelma Giles, experts on the latest South American dance steps, at their swanky night club catering to Lovingston’s elite society, and little Alice Bolton crooning a blues song? In competition with the Giles ITsters, Waller Crist was running Shantytown.-Then I had a glimpse of Cliff Wood. He was giving a new tractor a try-out for fear that he would not be satisfied with its maneuverability (he was still air-minded).-Pettis Coleman had be¬ come a Red Cross nurse as a favor to Uncle Sam. All of her patients fell for her red hair. Laughl I thought I would never stop, when I heard Thelma Oakley matching her witty sayings with Bob Hope over his program. Believe it or not, she was holding her own.-Edgar Turner was pitcher for the Cardinals. He was very good judging from the ap¬ plause that rose from the grandstand, and from t he smiles of his man¬ ager, Arthur Wilson.-Audrey Shelton was traveling with a circus. not as an actress but as manager.

I heard her yell, I will revolutionize the w orld with my new discovery . Princess Spencer was in Paris teaching some squeaky Frenchmen the English language.-James Hughes was an engineer on the Southern Rail¬ way, sending the Streamliner on its course. He had to come over to the Southern as the C 0 didn ' t have time to fool with him. Thomas Wood was a designer of model airplanes. He had made many improvements and helpful suggestions to the American Air Lines.-I saw Elizabeth Mawyer in New York typing for the mayor. When she had extra time, she was always typing her ov n love letters. David Hughes I That ' s all I could hear when I got on the bus at Lynchburg. Looking at the driver, I saw the David Hughes.

He gave the passengers the thrill of their lives with his loops and barrel rolls.-I saw Dorothy Lee Show¬ alter as being contented with nothing less than Mrs. Ollie Crank, but first giving all of her devotees heartbreak.-Maria Whitehead was Secretary of State.
