SENIOR PROPHECY CCONTINUEDI Mr. Harris turns to the page on Medicine to see if anything new has been discovered. ln the field of Pharmacy MARLYN WILSON has found a new pill. It is for that dreadful disease, Chicken Coff. Her catchy slogan is Willy Wilson's wily pills take away those awful chills. After extensive tests on RHODA SLUYS and LARRY REYNOLDS, the famed husband and wife comedy team who gave up their career to help him, MARLIN MATTSON, M.D., is convinced that the new pill for Chicken CoFf is a safe and effective preventive. Time has news from all parts of the world. Straight from the Congo we learn that MYRNA JOHNSTON married one of those suntanned fellows from the African jungle. Her favorite sport is hunting big game. Also in the Congo are DONNA BAME and KATHLEEN UPPER fulfilling their dreams of becoming missionaries. They have just established a village there called Upper Bame- ville. l always knew MARLIN DUNLAP would end up in the Metropolitan Opera. Time says he is receiving great acclaim under the name, Marlin Dunlap Caruso. Across the page he notices an attractive advertisement, Eat at Alino's For The Best ln Italian Food. ALAN BUNKER appears to be world renown for his expert ravioli and spaghetti recipes. The page on People in the News has always been interesting to Mr. Harris. He notes that CHARLENE HEL- GESON is still counting the money at Meridian. She had pictured herself counting the money at Fort Knox, but M.H.S. failed to sign her graduation diploma due to an oversight on the part of the principal. JOHN ANDERSON thought he would gain recogni- tion if he grew the world's longest real beard. lt looks as if he did because he has just signed a contract with the Gillette Blue Blade Company, who made the lowest bid to cut it off. Mr. Harris lets out a small chuckle when he sees that KEN HAYES has approached the world's weightiest problem scientiically., He just opened a Slenderella Re- ducing Salon. His first victim was LEROY HITCHCOCK, a millionaire who had had too many back-yard lemonades. Judging from these next two pages, Meridian has done very well for itself in the World of Sport. AN- THONY FORMAN, who is now seven feet tall, has been taking vitamin pills ever since he graduated and now is a basketball player called Tony the Stilt, averag- ing eighty-five points per game. JIM FELL is up there in the Sport's World, too. He is going to compete for the Olympic Skating Championship where he is expected to win any number of gold, silver, copper, and tin metals. It has just been discovered that LONNIE MONT- GOMERY, now recovered from his broken leg, has been painting himself up so he could play with the Harlem Globe Trotters. DAVID DICKSON is now the county extension agent of Whatcom County and is taking his first judging team to the lnter-Planet Judging Contest held on Mars. Up there in the Business World are tycoons, BOB PFANNENSTIEL and BILL PAYNE, who have just opened a chain store throughout the country. lt's called the B.P. and B.P. carries sports equipment. My, Mr. Harris thinks to himself as he puts the magazine down, the alumni from the Class of '57 have certainly done well for themselves.

Roy is reminiscing over the old days at Meridian. l'Il never for- get my last year at M.H.S. ALBERT HERRE surprised us all by popping the question to MURIEL RASMUSSEN. Just yesterday I learned they've added thirteen healthy chil- dren to the Laurel population. After fourteen years of married life, his troubles are still- little ones. Mr. Harris glances through a pile of magazines and picks up his favorite, Time. He is startled when he sees MERLYNN ANDERSON'S picture on the front cover. He turns to the cover page where he reads that Merlynn has gained national recognition for selling one million ham- burgers in one year. After Mr. Harris recovers from that pleasant surprise, he turns to his favorite page, Letters It seems there are more broken-hearted girls in the world today. Here is one from a girl called LAURA MACKENZIE BELLINGAR. She complains that her sailor husband has a girl in every port, and now she is asking for national aid in her battle with the Navy. It appears that there is someone from Meridian un- der every topic. Hemisphere is no exception. CHARLES FEATHERS shipped oFf to Timbuktu because he wanted his own harem. When he sees topic two under Hemi- sphere, Mr. Harris' eyes open in wonder. MARCIA GUD- MUNDSON, while following a career of crime, was cap- tured by JACK MOORE, the tough New York cop. She is now spending her time being the Gun Marm of Alca- traz. SENIOR PROPHECY According to Time, Hollywood has become a draw ing point for many Meridianites. DICK GILDA, the famed Love 'em and Leave 'em Gilda, just won his fourth gold-plated record. Dick spends most of his time at the Mocambo where CAROL RAYMOND is a spicy waitress. In the same club, MEREDITH WITTER plays the piano for LUCILE PRENDERGAST, the leading vocalist, who lures in the gentlemen. What's this? IDA SANDERS has started up a band in Tin Pan Alley using both GERALD MILES Isopranoi and JERRY MANTHEY ialtoi as the star vocalists. Her band contains EUGENE HECOCK, trumpeteer, who has be- come another Satchmo, LORE SHARP, the guy that beats outa steady rhythm on his bongo drums, and MAR- VIN GANSLER, who adds color with his hot violin. Jackie Gleason has added a new attraction to his June Taylor Dancers. She is DOROTHY AUGHE, formerly of Laurel, Washington. Lucky fellow, eh? JEFF GRAN has become another Elvis Presley. Since his debut at the Meridian Carnival, his life is not his own. MARLOW END- ERSBY iust danced into a marvelous career of ballet at the London Theater of Arts. His most requested number is the lead in Swan Lake. As Mr. Harris turns to the next page, an article on Education catches his eye. JACK BOXX had taken over the job of superintendent at Meridian High School. Edu- cation has decidedly improved. LORETTA ARMSTRONG, Jack's favorite teacher, is teaching home economics to M.H.S. students as well as to her six girls. As his eyes scan across the page he sees an Ivory Soap advertisement. Why, it's DALE BIRD, nationally known as 'Bubbles.' Look! Who is sleeping here! MAR- VIN BURGRAFF is pictured demonstrating mattresses for the Love Your Bed Co. High school did him some good after all. It was there he developed his sleeping technique. On the New Books page he is startled to discover that ELINOR MUENSCHER has just written a textbook called Chemistry Made Easy. lt is being recognized by critics all over the world. RON CORRELL has also just fin- ished a book on hunting wild animals in their natural habitat. This promises to be a best seller with photos in full Africolor. IContinued next pagel

They took an active part in the carnival and selected Philis Parker as their princess. To begin the new year, they elected Wally Swoftord head of the Junior What-Not ond Philis Parker chairman of the banquet and prom. These two long awaited events were held in the spring. Climaxing their busy year, the juniors relaxed at an after school class picnic.
