MHS SENIOR PROPHECY Let us gaze into the crystal and see what the future holds in store for the Senior Class of 1941. What do we see appearing before us? Why, it's Montgomr ery School, and surrounding it are trees, flowers, shrubs, and a beautiful lawn. The MOHIRAB has just been published. and there is much excitment among the students concerning autographs. As we gaze farther into the future, we see our class president in New York. But, what is Melvin doing? Now we can see more clearly--he is one of the greatest bankers on Wall Street and Geneva is his secretary. What is that coming toward us? It must be an airplane, but its appearance is startling. Inside are John and Ewald arguing over who is to fly the next thousand miles. The stewardess is none other than Laura Ann Williams. A new picture and a new view finds us in a large music hall where Jim Gaines conducts a great orchestra whose solo- ists are Lois Zeiglcr, Marjorie Reese, Ruth Brandoberry, Jim Burrows, Bertha Trudel. and Martha Dieter. We then focus on a sky-scraper office building in San Francisco whore we find Skip Stahl laboring at the presi- dent's desk, while his private secretary, Bernice Shaffer slumbers in her office chair. Some coffee from Nancy Smith's Coffee Shop across the street would help. In the same block can be found Wiechman's Dress Shop where Betty VanCamp and Marguerite Quicklo are assistants. Whizzing back across the continent to Toledo, we find that Flower Hospital is groanless since Ivadel and Ruth K. are on its staff of nurses. On Madison Avenue is a beauty shop where hhry Rojowski and Elva Kirkbride to the honors. Jumping to nearby Fostoria, we view a rapidly expanding machine shop where the boss is Art Parsons. Helping keep the production on schedule are Dick Mattimore, Don Hoiles, and Carl Johnston. Moving to Columbus we learn that the coaching sensation at Ohio State is Robert Mapes, formerly ef Montgomery. He has just brought to Ohio the first Big Ten Championship that has been won in eleven years. Of all the best selling products in Ohio, none can beat Keith Carr's new product,Balloon Bubble Gum. As president, he has under his supervision Andy Wisegiver and Bill Boggs, who have so much business that they have added an assistant, Fred Trudel. The concern's efficient secretary is Barbara Pierce. Gazing over more of Ohio, we seo two adjoining model farms, owned by Harry Brueggemeier and Bob Jacquot. They have won so many prizes for their produce that they had to build a special building to house them. Not bad at all! Weary, but well pleased, we are new content to let the pictures fade from our phenomenal crystal.

MHS VALEDICTORY People who are unconcerned about the future have been compared to a flitting butterfly or to a chirping cricket with not a care in all the world. The ancient writer of Holy Writ says: NGO tb the ant, thou sluggardlu The time when young people must earn a livelihood comes only too soon. Sometimes parents make a choice for their children. If the choice has been the right one, very good, however, it can happen that the choice was all wrong, causing disappointment to both parents and children. Many young people take a defeatist attitude when con- fronted with the important question of choosing an occupa- tion. They may set their goal too high and say, Nwhat chance have I to accomplish my wish? My parents cannot afford to send me to college, and without a proper education I have no opportunity for advancement.n In the first place, many of our successful men and women had no college education, and in the second place, many who have acquired a college educa- tion paid for it through their own efforts. To achieve the goal is not easy, for the road to success has always been strewn with hard work, sacrifice and disap- pointment. However, America still is the land of opportunity and every boy and girl has the right to choose his or her vocation. ' When youth chooses a vocation, it is well to carefully consider the extent of one's ability. The ancient philoso- pher, Socrates, said, nKnow thyself.u Either to or to underestimate ono's ability may result in wrong vocation. The proper advice and guidance is important. A trusted parent or teacher can overestimate choosing the of superiors often assist us in steering our ability into the proper channel. We must also make a careful survey of our own physical and mental capacities in choosing our life's work. It takes courage to make a choice. It even takes courage to look into the future and plan with others, what means you may choose to make a living. The courageous flyer, Amelia Earhart, wrote: uCourage is the price that life exacts for -granting peace. The soul that knows it not, knows no release from little things, each time we make a choice we pay with courage to behold resistless day and count it fair.n When we seriously think about our vocation, we cannot expect success if we daydream. We cannot be forever pitying ourselves and envying the other fellow. We must be realists knowing our limitations, but also having the firm determin- ation that we will follow through whatever we have under- taken. Neither will we blindly and stubbornly refuse the give, for there are us than a Ngoodn advice and information that others can many who are better qualified to help friend, who may always be fluttering us. nlt takes a little courage and a little self-control, and ation if you want to reach the goal. striving and a firm and stern-set chin, battle, if you're really out to win.n some grim determin- It takes a deal of no matter what the ----Bernice Shaffer
