r r i) Gazing into the Crystal I see many a wondrous thing in the distant Future: Ah, yes, MARY LOU CALHOUN, I see your “future” in a Ford. Through the mist FRANCES CURRY can be seen still posing for Glamour shots for “THAT” man. In the vision JOAN OVERHOLT is seen tearing her hair into fibers over her silk¬ worms that have just roasted. DAVID HIVELY is visioned filling out the long list of patent papers for his latest invention, a post-hole stretcher. In a Chicago Hospital I spy ROSALIE CHESNUT dressed in white, blinking her lashes at her wealthy patients. MABLE ROBINSON is seen in her Pittsburgh bungalow applying her knitting arts. At last, Max White has attained an en¬ vious position, Waterboy for the Cardinals. Seen in “Wave” uniforms are HAZEL DILLEY and LORRAINE ADKISON. Stewardess, HELEN ARMSTRONG is seen flashing her smile at IVAN WITH¬ ERS, pilot of the “Latin American Clip¬ per.” SUE BROOKS has at last settled down with one she can out-scream, out-talk, and out-law. And I catch a glimpse of GENE BEALE ■with a long list of tabulating paper, the expense of “Mighty Mouse.” The vision shows ELTON UNDER¬ WOOD and LEE HIVELY trying out their new invention, the car-o-plane, which elim¬ inates the curves to Hillsboro. ROBERT CARPENTER is seen with a lovely brunette oiling his back, which he blistered while digging potatoes in the noonday sun. WILMA CARR is visioned governing an orphanage of little children. CHARLES DILLEY is reclining in a hammock by the Greenbrier, with a new- type fishing pole which rings a bell when it catches a sucker.

On a red bay LOIS ANN LaRUE is seen leading the one and only—“Hillsboro Rab¬ bit Chase.” Visioneed in a mist of fine laces, chif¬ fons, and velvets is TRUDA HIVELY. Below the waving palms of his Florida resort is “HERB” JOHNSON, reading the book, “Leisure Made Easy.” Strange as it may seem, this crystal vi¬ sions JEAN MOORE posing as a model for the famous Ooomph Girl. Quietly standing in her cottage door ANNA LEE LANDIS has learned “How to keep house and like it.” Arriving from a transcontinental flight is MERLIN PROVANCE, who has sprung to fame with his autobiography “The Si¬ lent Bachelor.”

r }j £ j fl u i J] i v in the fall that we, the crew and officers, would choose our rings. On February 11 we entertained the fleet with a short com¬ edy, “Tempest in the Teapot.” Then on March 1st we docked at a small island and gave a “Gala Carnival” for the enjoyment of the fleet. Again, as in preceding years, some of our crew went out for athletics. Then came the time for the fleet tourna¬ ment, with our ship taking the highest hon¬ ors. Our crew r wanted to drop anchor on a small island we had seen in the distance. So on April 11 we entertained the fleet wtih a comedy, “Sis Perkins.” While the ship was anchored here we decided to give the crew and officers of the “Senior Ship” a farewell banquet as they would soon complete their voyage. Two of our sea¬ men, Joan Overholt and Darius Moore, led . the Seniors to the end of their journay. Since we were well acquainted with the natives of this port we decided to have an¬ other picnic. After the celebration we voted to spend our shore leave here. f We were anxious to leave the island and to proceed with our expedition, as our journey on the sea of knowledge was near¬ ing its end. Again we set sail, with a crew of only 54. To carry the duties of our ship, “Seniors,” we elected as Captain — Joan Overholt; Co-Captain — Julian Shrader; Keeper of the Log—Rosalie Chesnut; Purser—Betty Moore, and Cheer¬ leaders—Lois Ann LaRue and Sue Brooks. As Senior seamen we settled down as lead¬ ers of the fleet. We selected our an¬ nouncements and calling cards. On Octo¬ ber 1st, we again gave a “Gala Carnival ’ for the entertainment of the fleet. As in previous years, many of our seamen were cut for athletics and Arthur Pescosolido was chosen captain of football. Lois Ann LaRue and Bernard Eades were rulers of the foam at the Homecoming battle with Greenbank. Both of our fleet cheerlead¬ ers, Sue Brooks and Lois Ann LaRue, came from our ship and proved themselves worthy throughout the journey. Bernard Eades, one of our season, was chosen to play on the all-tournament at Lewisburg The fleet again reached harbor and true phases of life were set forth in the pres¬ entation of the comedy, “Tempest and Sunshine,” which was acclaimed by the entire fleet. Since we were nearly ready to leave the fleet and enter the ocean of life, the Junior ship honored us by giving us a farewell banquet. Our last days as seamen on the Seniors ship were days of celebration and fun making—days to be remembered by every Senior. Then came the time for our departure from the fleet, which was solemnized by Baccalaureate Sermon and Commencement Exercises. Four boys in the armed forces were to receive their diplomas along with the rest of the officers and crew. Darius Moore, a boy of renowned character and a mem¬ ber of this crew for most of the voyage, who left the ship for Army duty, also was to receive his diploma. Each of us was awarded a diploma for completing the ex¬ pedition and carrying out the work set forth for us to do. —SUE BROOKS.
