HH J,'lgfll1'IiP.C Q . . , lcontinuedl The boys at Marshall High School are really learning agriculture since Jack Stephenson became the agricultural instructor. He has a large new department with the most up-to-date equipment. It's pop- ular to be a farmer, and it's a short cut to a life of wealth and ease. I see in my crystal ball that William Miller has become a banker. He followed the footsteps of his brother, John. Billy's ambition is to become president of the bank. Milton Gockrell is another one of our Seniors of '46 who is in the Air Oorps. In 1960 he will make the first flight to the moon. He will be the Columbus of the air. I see that Gloria Holmes won the personality award in 1956 at At- lanta, Georgia. She was chosen winner over 150 other girls. Nice going, Gloria. Last, but not least is my sister prophet, Helen Bell, who is head nurse at the Garfield Hospital. Incidentally, if you become ill, go there for excellent care which you will receive under I-Ielen's super- vision. At last the crystal ball is fading and Father Time is ready to begin his work to promote the fulfillment ofthis prophecy. RUBY MOORE HELEN BELL

I see Thelma Sisemore holding the world's speed record in typing. She is employed at the Pentagon Building which houses the U.N.O. The Pentagon is the perfect answer to the housing problems for del- egates of all the world. Margaret Walters is in nurses' training. She is bringing cheer to many sufferers and will soon be a graduate nurse. Tommy Herringdon has his building material ready to construct a new school for the Marshall students.

-QJH Qilnulalc 3RIf111J?'3iill.ilIfK' Cl,-B As our four glorious years in high school come to a close, there are many incidents and people we shall want to remember: Remember how dignified and well behaved everyone thought us Seniors I Remember the day on which the solemn vows of matrimony were pronounced for Pete Corbin and Helen Bell. The carrot bouquets were enjoyed by all. Then, who could forget how mad Miss Robertson was when Welby sang 'Sweet Violets in assembly ? Remember the night Marshall traveled to Washington and used guards as forwards. Jane was stiff and sore for days. And remember that historical night when Miss Partlow walked up Bunker Hill in the snow storm. Then who could forget when Jo. Altman got stuck in the trash can, and we had to call half the Senior class to get her tout. Jose- phine's calm comment was. I hope I didnlt hurt the trash canf' And remember how shocked we were to hear that Miss Chappelear tried to murder two of the Senior girls and ended up by rubbing out a Junior. We shall also remember a sound theory on getting a man. As Miss Robertson says, Even I could get one if I could support him. The boys wonlt forget the dilemma they were in about clothing for commencement. We expected them to arrive in shorts and shirts on Glass Night. Remember the day on which the electric wires shorted, and Mr. Coleman was pulling on a mouse's tail thinking it was the shorted wire. Poor mouse !
