Class Prophesey Once again I have gotten in touch with all of the Seniors of 46. Ten long years have gone by, so I though I would like to know what's happening to the old class mates of Maupin, High School. One day while at a circus, I went into the side show, before, going down the isle, in the side show, I heard the usual loud talk of advertising. I walked over to see the man who was doing the talking, as I thought the voice sounded familiar, and there stood Vern Tunison, all dressed up in a very fancey suit, he was advertising for the boxing contest to start inside in just a little while. I went over to him, and asked who the boxers were, and he said, that the workmen were hard to get, so he had to do his own advertising for the boxing contest. After looking around the side show awhile, I decided to go into the main part of the circus. While in there, I saw two girls on the trapzez, I thought they looked a little familiar, so I went up to them, as they came down. Just as I thought, Shirley Brittian, and Doris Sndersby. I asked them what they were doing in a circus. Here is their answer. We couldn't find any boys in Maupin that we could make up our minds about, so we joined the circus hoping to find the boys of our dreams. Wiile on tour with a circus, they also said they had been to all the 48 states, and hadn't found the lucky, or unlucky boys. They said next month the circus is touring to France, they ’will also tour over the world. Good luck girls, maybe they will wish they had studied their French harder. Well there was three of our class mates, all in one circus, I wondered if I could find the rest as easily, I've looked all over the country but can't find Norman Morrow, I think I'll look around Maupin for him. V ell here is Maupin, about the same as it was ten years ago. After inquiring about the country, I found out he was living over by rVamic. .Then I went to visit him, I found he was married to his High School Sweetheart. They have been married for six years now. I asked Norman if he had heard from D.A. yet, since he left school. He told me to look around Corvalis for him, because he didn't come back from colledge yet. After looking around Corvalis awhile, I found old D.A. had moved to an eastern state probably New York, I found out I was three years late for he had left New York for Germany were he had inherited a large estate from some Great Grand Something or other, also he had inherited a title, and was really in society. I had to practically beg my way through the gates. He had four armed guards at each gate, and a twenty foot wall around the estate of his. Once on the inside, it looked like a little piece of home for after attending Oregon State Colledge, he used the best modern methods of farming. Of course he just supervised the work, he had hundreds of workers to do the acutal work. I talked awhile with D.A., than said good by, and left for America. Carol Fischer, and Julia Spitzer. '.Veil I found Julia Spitzer happily married, and living in The Dalles, while her husband worked as General Manager of Montgomery Wards, and Julia is a dress designer in the Paris Dress Shop.

Class History P P 9 P ♦ ♦ » On the fourth day of September in the year of 1942 fourteen poor frightened little freshmen walked in the wide doors of Maupin High School. They were as follows: Vern Tunison, Jimme Ruzic, Kenneth palmer, Norman Morrow, Donnis Hiller, Davis A. Harvey, Arthur Gerity, Doris Endersby, Patricia Ellison, Betty Cunningham, Leslie Crofoot, Shirley Brittian, Frank Brown, and Doris Allwarden. On about the same day of the next year there was two more oophmores than Freshmen the year before. When the roll Ball was read it was found that some were missing: Kenneth Palmer, Patricia Ellison, Doris Allwarden, and Donnis Hiller, and there were six new students: Mac Cameron, Jim Cameron, Carol Fischer, Charllis Upton, Iva Savage, and Julia Spitzer. Mac and Jim Cameron coming to Maupin from Okanagan, Carol Fischer came to Maupin from North Bend, Charllis Upton a California school, Iva Savage from Moro, and Julia Spitzer came here from Hosier that completed the roll call for the Sophmore year. The 1944-1945 class decreased by four from our Sophmore year. The missing were as follows: Jimme Ruzic, Betty Cunningham, Charllis Upton and Frank Brown. TTiere was one new addition to the class Maurice Heutzenroeder came to Maupin from Salem. In this year the class had twelve to the last years sixteen. In our Junior year we gave a play: Tie 'Yispering Room, Shirley and Leslie were the main stars with Doris E., Doris D., Carol Fischer, D.A. Harvey, Norman Morrow, Vern Tunison and Maurice Heutzenroeder as co-stars. Porky Forman took D.A. Harveys place as doctor because of the sickness of D.A.. Ye also gave a Junior-prom in honor of the Seniors. The Juniors also had a sneak day. We went to Portland for two days and forgot school. While in Portland we roller skated and went to Jansen Beach along with wander- ing around town. On the 3rd of September of last year the last of our once large class assembled in the science room to see who was missing. This year we are mighty Seniors looking around for our Freshman victoms . This year as last year there we found four missing. They were: Iva Savage, Mac Cameron, Jim Cameron, and Art Gerity. With no new members this cut our class to the all time low of eight. In our Senior year we gave a play the name of which was Aunt Emma Sees it Through. For about two months the Seniors were working on the annual and getting out of class for this and that but we all hope to graduate in fine style on the 15th of May. (Prophesey Cont.) That just leaves one more to find, Carol Fischer, she must be moving a lot, as I’ve found two or three different leads, but still no Carol. The first lead was Corvalis, while looking for D.A., it seams that she took a course in Home Economics, after that she took a trip around the world, when I finally found Carol, she was happily teaching school. She said that she saw Sonney, Doris, and Shirley last year at the circus. As for me, I must hurry and get this off by mail to my newspaper in Deadwood South Dakota. Then I must hurry back to work as I have sp nt to much time on the write up on past friends, and what they are doing.
