SENIOR CLASS PROPHECY [j ID you ever see a Television set? Well, we built one in Physics the other day and it worked; kind of funny — but it worked. Turn one dial and you get a town; turn another and you get a year; another gives the date. Well, we turned it on the year 1951 in August, and started dialing. Suddenly we saw on the screen a Dupont Laboratory, and there, preparing to leave on their vacation, were Bob Griggs and Bob Prouty, who are in charge of the Research Department. They first drove to Washington to see Sam Hathaway who was rapidly advancing toward Admiral of the Navy. He took them to the Naval air base where Bill Lehman and Bill Brown were engineers. Upon entering the inner offices, they found Hobart Cowles designing a new long-distance bomber. They then started toward the treasury depart- ment to see Perry Quayle, under-Secretary of the Treasury, and Jack Jones, assistant to the Treasurer of the United States. But on the way there, they stopped to admire the grounds of a new university in beautiful Washington. They were then informed that the grounds were plotted and cared for by Rooks and Hejduk, Landscape Gardeners, a company headed by Doris Rooks and Ho- bart Hejduk. Having left Washington for Cleveland, they stopped at a chapel in the valley, one Sunday and listened to a beautiful sermon delivered by John Petrova. Arriving in Cleveland that evening, they checked in at the Hotel Statler, and went up to the Sky Terrace, where Nick Demos, his trumpet and his orchestra, were playing a limited engagement. While there they met Fay Green, leading social worker, and Betty Ernst, a writer for the P. D. , who told them that Anna Sesu and Elinor Hum- mel were clerking in the May Company and that Jean Balch was teaching school in Madison. The next day they visited the Cleve- land Municipal Airport and met June Mil- ler, who is a hostess on one of American Airlines' planes. She was going to see her boss who had his offices at the airport, and invited the two Bobs to accompany her. Imagine their surprise when they saw Paul Snyder, Chief Pilot for American Airlines, and his secretary, Evelyn Kulow. They had quite a long talk with Paul who told them that Bill Sager had the largest farm in Lake County and was the most successful farmer in Ohio; and that Henry Berwaldt was the preacher in the largest church in Cleveland. As they returned to the hotel to check- out, they met Fran Trescott, who is librarian at the Cleveland Public Library. Fran told them that Marie Zeman was chief account- ant at Blepp-Coombs Sporting Goods Com- pany. The next morning the boys left for the west coast, and two days later stopped at Yellowstone National Park to see Old Faith- ful. That evening they met John Dodge who is the chief forester at Yellowstone and the three spent the next day telling each other of their experiences of the past ten years. Another drive of a day and a half brought them to Hollywood where they were just in time to join Gladys Diedrich and E. J. Rhoads who were on their way to the pre- mier of their new picture. At the premier they met Marion Brainard, who is staff pho- tographer for Life magazine; Genevieve Hagerdon, who just put a new line of cos- metics on the market; Ruth Somnitz, who designed the costumes; and Genevieve Cro- foot, who designed the settings for the pic- ture. They also saw Karl Moeckel, who was the studio technician, and Mary Davis, who was script girl. After the show the whole group went over to Locust Grove where Corel I Nash and his Orchestra were just finishing a five weeks engagement. Norma Ross, who is his vocalist, told them that Marion Brotzman was head nurse at the Mayo Clinic. The next day, Bob and Bob left for home and arrived a day before their vacation was over, so they spent that day catching up on some lost sleep. Just then the bell rang and we turned the set off, and when we went to use it again it wouldn't work! seventeen

THE JUNIOR PLAYERS The Junior Class of '40 and '41 opened session with the following officers being elected: Louis Mavko, President; Stanley Babic, Vice President; Robert Henninge, Secre- tary; and David Demos, Treasurer. At the same time representatives to the Student coun- cil were chosen; namely Janice Lange, Jean Stimpert, Phil Anderson, and William Pethtel. Plans were started for ways to earn money for the Prom. The selling of candy at noons was conducted as usual by the Juniors. Also as the annual custom the class had the privi- lege of selling magazine subscriptions. Much cooperation was shown and over $100 worth of subscriptions were sold, about $45 of which was received by the class for their efforts. Their first social affair was a class theatre party held in the fall. As their contribution to the Stunt Night Program, the Juniors gave their version of a kindergarten class. On January 25th the Junior Class sponsored a Snow Ball Dance which was held in the gym. Decorations were very appropriate and effective. Music was furnished by Hurley- Warren. Several of the football lettermen were Juniors. They were also very active on the basketball team; Donald Wickert being Captain. The Scholarship Club boasted eight Junior members. And then the Prom, for which all had been looking forward, was held April 25th at the Mentor Harbor Yacht Club in the form of a dinner dance. Janice Lange was Prom Chairman. Miss Richardson was our class adviser. eighteen
