.N . c. Z' e ,,--L .Z ' Q N Q, W-. z s . . H ,.--...--- As l was going into the dark depths of the Pacific Ocean somewhere off the coast of Java onto the floor of the ocean, where nature has provided more beauty and splendor than most people will ever see, I encountered o mermaid sitting comfortably on a huge rock on the ocean floor. Then everything went black. As I came to, I found myself in the presence of several mer- maids, each one more beautiful than the last. It seems that I had caught the air hose under a rock which cut off my supply of oxygen. The queen of the mermaids said that anyone sur- viving such an accident deserved to know what was in the future for him and his classmates. I con hear her soft feminine voice now say- ing: I can see a dark girl, Dorothy Anderson, happily running a beautiful ranch house some- where in Texas. She makes a good ranchers' wife. - That very pretty blonde, Frances Jacobson, is matching wallpaper and draperies in some millionaire's summer home in California. Oh! Oh! she just fell from a ladder when doing a perfect demonstration on interior decorating. Mildred Nuse stands primping before 0 large mirror somewhere in New Leipzig, North Dakota. She's probably attending a ball. Somewhere in California, I see Lela Bates surrounded by several very handsome men. l now see in New York your Montana friend, Alma Clayton, leading actress of the Broadway hit, who is very much interested in the famous sights of the city, but who is a little lonesome for good old Mission. Sleeping comfortably undemeath o shade tree in the backyard of her home you'll tlnd Lorraine Barnhouse. She looks very contented and happy. Ah, for the love of sleep. cess. .-R 'Q 'wifi 33 l,',, 7 ,A - -'gf-' -5 lt is written here, on my beloved rock of knowledge that one of your very intelligent classmates from Mission High, Parley Smith, is really seeing the world through the lens of a camera at Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer. All I can soy is, more power to him. IHubba! Hubbell l can also see another of your friends, Everett Nelson, out in the sunshine, a specimen of health, growing beautiful roses, all sizes, shapes, and colors. He looks indescribably happy. I now see LaVonne Simon energetically working over the color scheme of her home in Ronan, Montana. She really looks contented, and I'll bet she is. Ah, and here, covered with grease and dirt, with his curly blonde locks continually getting in hissparkling blue eyes, I find Warren Coch- ran. I'll bet he has been working like mad on someone's old Mercury. That's Cocky living the 'life of Riley'. A whale swam past and obscured our view, but it did not interrupt the revelation of the future for long. Now 'Leishman is living alone with a dozen cats, happily surrounded by their family of fuzzy, purring kittens. She is reading a book of Poe, munching cookies, and finishing a five- pound box of chocolates. Through the haze I see Tes Ialias, Tom Stolll emptying garbage cans in a terrific hurry as he has a date with a beautiful red head. Trouble is, he wants to get rid of her and take a blonde, but if he does that, the brunette will get mad. Oh, for the life of a Romeo! l see Lester McKeever trying to control a class of giggling girls. lt isn't every day that girls are taught Spanish by a dashing young casanova. . 'FS v' I W ee ? ' 8

rl-Q, fie r y-ef It seems that Eugene Freshour is out on a football field, directing the neighborhood kids in an exciting game of football. ln his spare time he gallops on his range accounting for his cattle. And, now, I visualize a company of in- fantrymen crossing the Alps in Switzerland. The commanding officer is Raymond Stoll. ln order to get out of the guardhouse, he had to make this dangerous trip, being a good soldier. Brrr, is it cold! The saying is that most red heads have a temper, but, this does not seem to be the case with Earl Britton, alias, Pinky. I see him wandering around working a week and living a weekl. Nothing like a little variation, I always say. l can see Willard Johns getting up at 6:00 in the morning and working like a dog all day on his 360-acre farm and coming home at night, tired from a hard days work, to a savory mialucooked and served by his loving little WI e. In the field of communication, I find Floris Green, head of a group of teletype operators. She looks important and is so busy that she daesn't notice that she has worked three hours overtime. There has just been a hurricane and the water has been rather rough, so the pretty mer- maids called a recess until the fury of the storm passed before she resumed. I find Lila Anderson, commonly known as Andy, touring South America, shooting scenes for Paramount Productions. Of course, she eats her 'Wheaties' every morning. After all, where do you think she would get such vim, vigor, and vitality? There, I can see Earl Baker as President of Yale. He is delivering diplomas to his first group of studious graduates. And Marie Krantz, with her beautiful hair blowing in the breeze-she is now getting ready to take off to deliver that message from the President to the King of Utopia. Lyla Cote's dream has at last come true and she is now cooking for her tired and hungry husband, and should I say more???? I see Janis Holmquist making pills at Rochester, Minnesota, and flirting with the good-looking young doctor. Cl might add-only about forty and slightly bald.l Marie Detert is now composing extrava- ganzas for the Queen of Utopia. Ellen Hilton, the world's greatest traveler, is now leaving New York harbor for Athens, Greece, where she will be a spectator at the famous Olympics. Clyde Stockton, president of an oil syndi- cate in Texas, is sending our many trainloads of petroleum to be shipped to Europe. Jean Brison, voted least likely to succeed, is now dean of women at Vassar. She is trying to make it ca-educational-wonder if she'll succeed. Last, but not least, I see Marjorie John- ston at Madison Square Garden performing with her troupe of trick riders before a record-break- ing audience These are not idle dreams,- but actual hap- penings that are going to occur within the next ten years.
