CLASS PROPHECY In the year i960 William Fleck got the bright idea of going to Mars in a flying saucer. He was thinking who might be interested in accompanying him when who should walk up but Jerry Malburg,president of the United Steel Corporation. I'm thinking ofgoing to Mars in a flying saucer. How would you like to come along? Surely, said Mr. Malburg, I think I can leave the plant that long. So they hired Nelson Smallman and Jack Matzinger to build the saucer for them, giving them each A150 apiece. William, after telling his wife, who had formerly been Lora Belle Weis, that he was going to Mars, began to make all nec- essary preparations. They left Friday morning at 9 o'clock from Grand Central Station at Metamora, Ohio. After reach- ing their destination, they began figuring how long it took them to make the trip. It had taken approximately 3 hours and 25 minutes. Deciding they should paint the planet red, they first took in a boxing match. They arrived just in time to hear the referee holler, In this corner we have Onweller, The Snap Dragon, weighing 320 pounds of solid muscle, who has never been defeated, and then in this corner we have Sulli- van, The Mighty Gorilla, weighing 310 pounds who has lost but one fight. 3y the way, the referee happened to be none other than Gorgeous George (Mossing) who accidentally got in the way of the two boxers. Coming out of the arena, the two adventurers entered a night club. The owner, Bill Snyder, personally escorted them to their tables. Starting the floor show was the Cava- naugh Trio starring Flossie Schmitz, Ramona Simon, and Opal Hintz. The main event of the evening was a balancing act done by Kathleen Zenk and Harold Loeffler. After finishing their dinner and paying the check to the waitress, Lelah Jean Gleckler, they continued on their way.

They replied, No, we live on earth, and started on. They planned to stay in their room that evening and rest up for their trip home the next day.

A Warrior, Doyanana the Lost, finds the boy and carries him to his lonely v igwam. The Chief believes the boy has been kidnapped and he sets out with scouts and warriors to scour the forest. They find footprints. Doyanana invokes Manitou; phantoms of Great «arriors and Slumber Spirits appear in song and dance. He is aroused from the trance by little Taysee tugging at his legs.

She is not altogether happy. She longs for the carofroc ways and freedom of tho villago girl3, for she is very tired of being just a Dutch Doll. Tho Burgomaster is vory proud of his daughter but yet he has little time to show his affection. So, on the eve of tho Festival, in a rash moment, Juli- anna secretly allows a pretty gipsy girl to persuade her to change clothes and homes for just one day. Julianna puts on tho gipsy's garish colors and spends tho night in the tents. The gipsy wears the expensive gowns of a Burgomaster's daughtor and sloeps in her great carved bod. At dawn on the day of tho Pair the gipsios take the Burgomaster and lock him in tho dungeon. At tho fair Gipsy Josh appears as tho Burgomastor and Arlene masquerades as tho Burgomaster's daughter.

OPERETTA OPERETTA The Life Of The Party By Karrijane and Joseph Hayes The Seniors of 1950 presented the play The Life of the Party March 24, in the school auditorium with Mrs. Champion as director. The Hughes family moves to Butterfield and begins to choose friends. They make mistakes, of course, but in the end they are wiser because of them. Mr. Hughes is to set up a branch office for his firm; flighty, funny Mrs. Hughes, being somethin of a snob at first, has high social ambitions. The oldest daughter Mildred, a college freshman, fancies her- self in love with the snooty son of a bank president. Imag- ine what happens to their aspirations when studious daughter Jean, under the illusion that she is in love with smooth- talking Mike Tisdale (who arranges the party and dupes Jean into playing hostess), flings off her glasses and her ret- icences and becomes the life of the party. And what a party: Dapper Teddy, her brother, gets into a merry mix-up juggling 4 dates at once--until the girls get wise And youngest daughter, Amy, a rowdy cheer-leader, falls in love for the first time. Neighbors object to the noise—to the extent of punching bewildered Mr. Hughes in tho nose. The police arrive.....Jean is in for a hard awakening—and so are the others, including both her parents. They all become aware of the serious implications of what had seemed vory funpy. Tho cast was as follows; Joan Hughes.................. Mildred Kughos............... Amy Hughes...................

Going On Seventeen1 By Hilda Manning The junior class of Metamora High School presented the play Going On Seventeen, directed by Mrs. Champion, Octo- ber 21, in the school auditorium. The central character. Buddy Carhart, is a three-dimen- sional study of adolescence. The plot revolves about the machinations of Buddy and hfe two henchmen, Paul and Shrimpie. Together, the 3 have launched a new magazine, The Harris- ville Town Topics, thanks to the generosity of Buddy's father in donating a hand press. The three are, of course, confirmed woman-haters; confirmed, that is, until Buddy's elder sister Florence is visited for the summer by her school-chum, Joan, and Joan's younger sister, Lillums. Lillums is a sixteen-year-old siren, and she quickly splits the ties of the three young musketeers. Meantime, Buddy's father, a trusted employee of the town's bank, becomes in- volved in a serious shortage of money. Buddy takes it upon his young shoulders to track down the repronhonsible cujrit, an end he attains only after a series of hilarious misadven- tures. In the end, The Harrisville Town Topics scores a sensational scoop and the threo young editors are united once more against all womankind--and Lillums in particular. In the end, too, sister Florence gets tho mysterious young millionaire she has set her cap for. The Cast; Elsa.............. Buddy Carhart.... Mrs. Kate Carhart Florence Carhart. Craig Vincent....
