' SENIOR PROPHECeYj Contini1iedW if We're usingatext written by Frank Marquis, Proffessor of Physics at Yale. He was one of the shining lights of the McGuffey Physics Class. His inseparable companion Bill Shideler, has made a name for himself as World's Black-Jack Champion. And, just guess whom I heard over the radio, last night-George Chappars! He's gone into partnership with the historic pair Amos ,n Andy . Pa.zline Corso is designing dresses for Worth, too. Such achievement! And, for the benefit of you boys, Oddessa Anderson, and Ruth Stromier have a beauty parlor at Bath,lndiana. All of us go there for our permanent waves. Have you noticed, though, how popular Anna Hawkins ' cartoons are? Nearly every big newspaper is featuring them. Clarence Roberts, they say, is turning out as a big politican, and he gives the credit for all his ex- poits to the teaching of Mr. Bunger. While we're on the Subject, Marian Guiler is making 'soap box ' speeches, advocating 'more rights for woman ' . She ' s so convincing that she has won the attention of the president himself. But, have you heard of the wonderful work of Senator Dennison is doing with the 4 - H clubs. They say he was elected solely for the stand he made for the agricultural interests. They say, too, that 'D' Singleton is going to run for president on a platform of 'bigger, better, and more frequent vacations, and promises to set 'the example' if he is elected. I have some theater tickets for the performance of Burt Harris. You know, he has conquered all of the big cities with his clog dances. Did you hear what a great future they predicted for Donna Sylvester? She married Clarence Roberts while they were in Miami, but she is going on with her career, and helping him with his. At last an operetta has been written that has been well received by Mc- Guffey audiences. Pauline Cisch 'up and done it' when she wrote 1VlaGw,q??:y Knights. But what's Roberta McCreary doing? Why Roberta's head dietician at the Ft. Hamilton Hospital. Vada Bourne is a nurse there, too. And 'Larny' Kirkpatrick, you know Mr. Bunger was always so fond of him, has written a book, based on his own experiences, Why Girls Fall For Big Athletes. I really ought to go, but - - GREAT GUNS! Who is that motorcycle speed-demon? Oh,that's Alice Robbins. You see,tbe patients at the Retreat are allow- ed to ride bicycles abont town, aud she has the responsible position of round- ing them up when necessary . I wonder if we'll ever be famous - ---- well, goodbye . C P11 ge twevi t ill

SlIE5llNlllIlfIDllR lIlf3llR4Dll'IDllHlllIEB1!36M SCENE: Warm summer evening in 1940. ACTION: Danny daCruz pounded excitedly on the door of the Roud- ebush home. In answer to the look of surprise on J ane's face as she opened the door, he exclaimed, O, look, Jane! See what I've found! An old McGuffey annual, issued the year your brother was a senior. As they passed into the house, they were greeted by cries of joy: Look whathe's got An old Reflector! from Joe Kirkpatrick, Gail Hawkins, and Caroline Shepherd, who were sitting by the fire. Yes, said Danny, and when I found it I brought it right over so we could all look at it. ,'Why , he continued, opening the book to the Senior Page here's a picture of J ane's brother, Pat. Good looking chap wasn't he? By the way, Jane, what's he doing now? Pat? , asked Jane, why he's playing baseball with the Yanks. He always said he wanted to be a professional baseball player. I suppose, too, that Ina May Shepherd has left the Broadway stage for Hollywood. You know she played the title role in the refilming of that old favorite, The Magnific- cent Flirt. Say, who's that fellow? There? Oh, that's 'Peasblossom' Goldsmith. Say, though, it's the funniest thing! When Howarb went to Miami, he ran into Pittser, and the coach made a great big 'he-man' out of him. He's football coach at Notre Dame now. Speaking of athletics, McGuifey was certainly well represented at the Olympics this year. Arthur Davis won the 100-meter dash, and Opal Flint defeated Betty Robinson in the women's division of the same event. I hear too that Stanley Kunkel is President of the University of Cin- cinnati, and is advocating more physical education among the co-eds. Her- schel Bess is voice instructor at the Cincinnati, Conservatory., He spends his spare time driving a bus on the Hamilton-Cincinnati bus line. That reminds me, Helen Kane has stopped making records for Victory too much competition from another baby-voiced girl, named Viola Tharp. They say Lucille Tharp's patented reducing machine is making her a fortune. Yes, and Elwood Denton, who has long been admired as McGuifey's most talented handshaker, is making tremendous commissions as a salesman for the Crosley Radio Corporation. Thelma Pheanis, she was always such a motherly sort of person, is sponsering a correspondence course, under the personal direction of Dorthy Dix, on 'Advice to the Lovelorn' . fPage Nineteenl

SllE5lINllIlDllR Wdllllblllo HE Senior Class has come to the conclusion that it would not be fair to leave McGuffey without giving the Juniors something to help them through next year.
