PROPHECY Due to Frank Lebeneck's invention of the 'Time Machine' we are able to fore cast the futures of the members of the class of 1950 If you will let your imag ination wander we will attempt to give you a picture of their life as it will be in the future Ls we tune ln the 'Time Mach1ne,' we find Jack Chapman head man of the 'Bur eau of Missing Persons ' Jack seems to be busy at the present with the case of a missing millionaire. If Jack finds the millionaire he will be rewarded with enough money to build his heart's desire, a tree nursery But now we must retune our 'Tune Machine,' and who do we find but Doug Sar gent. Doug is a foreman in the Scintilla Plant and he is also doing a fine job raising a family we now move on until we c me to a boy's school. The sing over the entrance reads 'Calhoun School for Boy's, Miss Gladys Calhoun, Principal ' Gladys seems to have all the boys she wants now Moving onward once a ain, we come to a garage le find Howard Perkins hard at work on his souped up chevvy ' Pork is head mechanic in the garage we find Shirley on the h me scene taking care of little 'Perk.' When we retune our 'Time Machine' we find Marvin 0'Hearn as test driver for Now we turn north to find Don Oates tending one of his Alaskan traplines Don has cornered the market on furs and is sending his directly to Hollywood. On our return trip from the north we come across Coach Spicer sweating out s first gave as head coach at Notre Dame University He is feeling quite elated but a little amazed by his appointment at Notre Dame succeeding Frank Leahy. Another twist of the dial and our 'Time Machine' focuses on Janet Matteson as superintendent of the 'Super Duper Self Service Stores Janet's previous exper ience in the Victory Store seems to have been put to good use lb now find Clementine Gracyalny as wife of a millionaire railroad president. Money sure has done great things for Clem. Married life seems to agree with Beatrice Ritravato too Although Bea is not the wife of a rich industrialist she seems to be making the best of it as the wife of a prosperous farmer. As our 'Time Machine is again retuned we find Howard Smith delivering his weekly sermon to his Sunday morning congregation Howard is now well known for his work in the spiritual field Our next stop finds us in a lawyers office where Harriet Blessing is personal secretary to a very prominent lawyer She seems to be doing Q11 right with the lalyer too. After much retuning and work we are able to find Dotty Elliott high in the skies as a stewardess for a large airlines Our 'Time Machine' reaches a new high I BD we came across Nelson Teed Nel son gave up farming some years agoiso became a politician They sgy he's going to run for president next term Because of the fact that our 'Time Machine' is not fully perfected yet, we will have to shut it off and let it cool thus giving the author time to escape. You see, our author, Gordon Whitten, has to take time off to sell his Squeezer perfume and 'Neckem' wafers. 11+ of .n new race cars. Marv seems to get a 'Thrillw out of driving the new race cars. hi . W U .
