SENIOR CLASS PROPHECY (Continued) When we went in, Pete was sitting at his desk smoking a cigar. He cer¬ tainly had changed. He told me Arthur was running a Beer Garden and Dance Hall at Tillman ' s; Jack was his bartender; Louis his bouncer, and Chalmer one of his waiters. It was getting late and we knew we would have to be going if we got to the show that afternoon. After the show we went to Audrey ' s restaurant for supper. She was having considerable trouble because all her help was striking for more wages. She had one faithful helper who stuck by her; that was Geneva, her cashier. Audrey told me she had received a letter from Norval a few days before. He had a job working for the Government making airplanes. After we got home Bettie put the children to bed, then she continued to tell me about my other classmates that 1 hadn ' t yet heard about. I asked about Ray and she was so surprised to think I did not know about him. She said it had been in all the papers. He was disappointed in love 13 times, and finally committed suicide. Poor Boy! I had always though he would make some one a good man. Lawrence was touring the country with a barn-storming company as their leading Bare-of-Tone. Betty Mae and Elizabeth had built a skating rink at Zulu with their Hubbies ' money and were teaching gentlemen to skate. Kenneth had erected a trap factory just outside the city limits where he was going to patent a special ' possum trap. Donald had taken up scientific farming way out west and there were rumors around that the Love Bug had bitten him, and he was going to take the fatal step soon. Bonita had married an illustrious farmer and had found married life to be just the thing for her. Mable and Goldie were attaining great success as Chorus Girls in a Comic Opera in Bluffton. I could hardly believe this, because they never seemed to me to be the type for that profession. Clyde and Bill were dance instructors at the Trianon Ballroom. Anyone who has the ability to dance like those boys did in high school ought to make a go of it. Bettie had Bonnie and Chet in the next evening for supper. We had a very nice time. Bonnie was still as sweet and pleasant as she had always been. I only had one more day to stay so I went around and saw all the kids. After spending another evening in my old home town, I started home the next morning after four days of a fine vacation. —Phyllis Myers Page 18

CLASS OFFICERS June Adams President Ernestine Dunmire Secretary Betty Coulardot Vice-President Kathleen Murfield Treasurer JUNIOR-SENIOR RECEPTION Tom, Dick, and Harry answered all S. O. S. calls from the good ship ' 38 as it journeyed on its voyage April 16. We dropped anchor at Port Chamber of Commerce, Fort Wayne, at 6:30 p. m., where we were met by the class of ' 39. Knowing that our long and tiresome journey from Monroeville had made us very hungry, they fed us well at tables prettily decorated to carry out the theme of our class motto, Today we launch out; where shall we anchor? | After the dinner and after-dinner program, which was very entertain¬ ing because of the class histories and wills, toasts from various faculty mem¬ bers and classmates, we travelled overland to relax and enjoy ourselves for a few hours in one of the theaters at Fort Wayne. About one hundred twenty-five enjoyed the evening and the class of ' 39 wished the class of ' 38 bon voyage, until they would chance to meet again. Page 20
