l l I L llmwl.. -- it is all over. We have had many experiences through high school. It is from these experiences that we will be able to keep on climbing. We are out in the world now, the goal we must reach, we can reach by climbing and not clinging. H4459 PQUPH EH As the class of 1950 was contemplating its com- ing commencement exercises, it fell to my lot to forcast the future of these fair damsels and gallant young men. After endeavoring to cultivate what is commonly known as Nsecond sight,u I concluded that prophetic vision was not my strongest point, but in the summer of l9?S, nearly a quarter century later, it was my good fortune to learn the fate of those young ladies and gentlemen who were once carefree happy school girls and boys in the dear old historic town of Neptune. It came about in this way. As manager of the Rike's Deoartment Store, I was called out West on business. While passing through the State of Wyoming the train was wrecked and the passengers were obliged to alight at a small station. I wandered about the place, impatiently waiting for the outward bound train, when I noticed a big black cloud in the north. Almost immediately everything grew dark, and I felt myself being whirled around and lifted very rapidly upward. After what seemed an hour of constant whirling, I found myself in a strange place. When I dared look around, I espied an old man coming toward me. He had a long white beard which reached nearly to the ground. He inquired who I was and whence I came. I told him and he said: nYou are now on one of the inferior planets, of which I am the high priest. You came to me in a cycloneg there is but one way to return. That is by allowing yourself to be put into a trance.H To this I readily consented. The high priest made some cabalistic signs, and soon I felt drow- siness. The first thing I realized was that I was in a strange city, and lol as I walked up the street I met an exceedingly stout lady pushing a go-cart She immediately recognized me, but it was some time before I could convince myself that it was my old classmate, Norma Matthews. Norma told me she mar- ried a man from Van Wert by the name of Dave Owens. She said she wished she was a stenographer instead of a married woman. She thought she was going to get a divorce soon.
