SENIOR PROPHECY We, the official prophets of the famous (or infamous) class of “41”, having spent a part of one evening and more than twelve class periods in an attempt to pierce the hazy curtain of the future by gazing into our crystal ball (a glass paper weight) do hereby record our discoveries. But first, for our own protection, we wish to state that any similarity between our predictions and the future of any of our classmates is purely coincidental. For Max Amerman we see a Dude Ranch open to any M. H. S. alumni who makes Hollywood. Mary Baich will be writing scenarios for M. G. M. Sidney Bowman will be president of the National School and Office Janitor ' s Union. Barbara Burnham’s future is hazy, but through the mist we discern a symphony orchestra, and on the podium conducting, none other than our own Barbara. The Clark Farms and Dairy Co. under our classmate Bruce will control all of Ohio’s dairy products. Lovina Hunter, who is in partnership with her brother, will furnish the sand and gravel for the concrete used in the “Champeen” Creek Suspension Bridge which will be built by those nationally known construction engineers, Dick Smith and Bob EF finger. We believe that Gertrude Deiss and Catherine Wolfe will be writing mystery novels; their latest: “The Cat with Three Pa’s”. Jo Deibel will be the first woman airline pilot flying between Alberquerque and Cleveland while we see Ralph Herrington running the famous “Gas and Go” Nation ' wide Service Stations. Bud Fisher, famous zoologist, will be on the trail of a certain species of Gurks, said to be found in Darkest Africa. Kenneth Sherman will be helping Howard Oberholtzer on his nationwide Farm Project. The crystal ball shows Joe Henninger as Traffic Manager of the new Kroger’s Grocery Store. Dene Hammerschmidt will be known as the famous surgeon who successfully completed that renowned operation, the removal of horns from the Horned Toad. Mary Ziegler and George Welch will be featured as singers with Sponseller’s Syncopated Swingsters, an up and coming young band. For Bob Shane we see a future in the prize fighting ring. Never would have believed it, but there it is! Right in the crystal ball! Bill Rapp and Elwood Pincombe, famous race drivers will win the Indianapolis Speed Classic in “61 . Their mechanic, Art Warren, has devised a new type of super ' fuel. Mary Virginia Schultz and Jean Higgens will be running the Higgens-Schultz Secretarial School with exceptional executive ability. The Raymont School of Dancing will be a tremendous success. ( Continued on Page 18 ) Seventeen

THE LAST WILL AND TESTAMENT of THE CLASS OF 1941 Having been rudely awakened in 221 study hall by one of the faculty, we rise feebly to our pedal extremeties and proclaim to the world at large this solemn and pur- poseless presentation of gifts, insults, and useless senior habits. First and foremost, we graciously give to those Jitterbug Juniors, the honor of being called “Seniors” and the right to continue to lead M. H. S. in a traditonally hilarious fashion. To those silly sophomores we very gladly give the right to struggle with the 1942 Medinian. To the ‘flirty’ freshmen we will the dawn of a little more respect and a great deal less shoving around the halls, although some of them have already taken these privileges in hand. And now for individual bequests: Bruce Clark leaves his sugar sweet compliments and scarlet jacket to Loren Kaden if used in conquest of out of town “gals.” Stella Holcomb bequeaths her love of dancing to Lawrence Kulp. Lovina Hunter wills her horror of excess calories to Don Todd. Howard Oberholtzer gives the privilege of getting to school in the middle of the first period to Jake Burris. George Promey bequeaths his soft quiet voice to Gloria Houston. Ann Rau gives her giggle to Mr. Claggett to be used for laughing at his own jokes. Bud Riegger, in order that band hats may no longer be lost at public danc es, gives one roll of pink ribbon to Mr. Thompson for mooring purposes. Kenneth Sherman wills his quiet ways to A1 King. Dick Smith bequeaths his jitter-bugging ability to Edward Buckley. Lillian Sperber grants the use of her graceful carriage and posture to future drum majorettes. Catherine Wolfe wills her gaudy jacket to color blind underclassmen. Max Amerman just plain gives away his shyness of women. Sidney Bowman wills his ability to get through high school, principally by work- ing for Jack, to Jim Long. (Continued on Page 20) Nineteen
