SENIOR PROPHEGY One beautiful summer day, in the year of 1969, I was sitting on the banks of Bruce Lake, day- dreaming and waiting for the fish to bite. Memories of my school days made me think of the changes that had taken place. The Senior Class of 1943 came into my mind. Yes, that dear old Lucerne lligh School was proud to present its seniors that year. Today those seniors are well-known to all. y Thomas McCrea, our well-known physician. has resided on East Sixteenth and Seventeenth Streets at Lease's Corner. His coming back to his own community increased the population of the place considerably. Now Lease's Corner and Lucerne are combined. This city, which is called Smithville after C. G. Smith, principal of the good old L. H. S., now has a population of twenty- five thousand. Lois Winn and Leora VVatts are now war nurses. First Lois faints, and Leora is the nurse, then Leora faints, and Lois is the nurse. They certainly found it different from just putting their arms around those good-looking soldier boys. Mary Alice Pinder recently received a great reward from the government for inventing a new substitute for rubber-she had just made her first pancakes. James English is now America's most famous movie actor and IIollywood's greatest woman hater. He loves to play the piano in girl camps so that he can decide which he hates the more-the WAVES or the WAACS. Mary Umbarger has finally solved her problem of gaining weight. She is now hoarding dres- ses, size 58. She is afraid the factories won't make them that large when clothes are rationed. J. VV. Montgomery, thinking Smithville too small a city for his large college, finally turned out to be the greatest professor of Marshtown. He is now teaching his students how to win the war without much effort-that is, feeding their chickens eight times a day so that they might lay more shells. Mr. and Mrs. James Martin now live in the most beautiful hotel in Florida. They have only sixteen servants. lint don't worry, folks, they don't know you. I went there to see them once and asked if Rosie Petunia Martin lived there, The servant said, Rosie Petunia? Why, I never heard of her, and slammed the door in my face. Maryella Siddall is helping the war effort by riding an old fashioned one-wheel bicycle. While learning to ride the thing, she killed four people and crippled five others, so the town marshal sent her to Marshtown College to get some knowledge. Her professor, Mr. Montgomery, just put a sign on the front of the vehicle which read Keep 'em dying . Keesey Baker now resides on a five acre farm down in the South where he raises peanuts. He has just warned Margie Deck to stay at home and leave him alone, for he is afraid he might put her in one of' the sacks someday-by mistake, of course. XVealthy Lamper must have worked hard to get that jeep for the army. YVait! That isn't a jeep, itfs a gip. She has the first 1969 model car and is taking all of the boys a ride. Girls, that leaves us out. Mr. Tom Gates and wife, the former Marcia Dillman, after five years of raising cane , have decided to go to Hollywood, California, to be in pictures. Dorothy Barr is now giving very valuable information over the radio station, WVIND in Smithville. People send her questions and she gives them her advice. For example, a man sent in and asked her what to say when found 'looking through a keyhole. Her answer was, Say you wanted to be sure it was your room before you used your key. Dorothy Coffman was in an awful predicament when her best boy friend saw her with another boy. So hearing of her good friend Dorothy .l3arr's reputation, she sent and asked her what to do when seen by No. 1 while out with No. 2. Her prompt reply was, Start looking for No. 3. As I looked into the VVest and saw the sun sinking beyond the horizon, it reminded me of those beloved seniors leaving us in 1943. Picking up my fishing pole to try once more to catch a fish, I reached for the bait. But some- thing had happened to it-yes, those worms had crawled out of that can just as the seniors had crawled out of good old Lucerne High School. So, being a little down-hearted as the seniors were when they left, I took my empty fish buck- et and went home.
