Senior Prophecy Once upon a time there was a little family--well a medium-sized family-- and they all grew up together. They decided one day to set a date for a reunion. Today's the day. Twelve--no more, no less--enterprising, ambitious, young people are invited to the famous Blue Room of the Hotel Tub-Mill, owned and operated by Eiga. Galbraith, the hotel magnate. As we enter the building, we see M-ar-y Fitzpatrick, Dick's lovely, young hostess for the evening. She srniles graciously and compliments the ladies on their beautiful gowns. Look! There across the room holdirig court is li-riy Cavanaugh. He just launched his twentieth ship this morning and everybody is congratulating him on his successg he has just been appointed Secretary of the Navy. That famous coach, Douglas Galbraith, from the University of New Florence has just arrived with his friend .lieil Killen, who, it is rumored, has donated a million dollars to a fund for the development of the University of New Florence.. The third member of the party is Alberta Boringg of course you've heard about the great success she has had as a hair stylist in Hollywood. We seem to be well supplied with rnillionaires--here is Elia McAdams. She once said that her suppressed desire was to be a millionaire and that she would probably marry one, and she did! I This party is going to be a success. Everybody is talking at once and no one seems to mind. All I can hear is, Do you remember when I .... ? Z0

Finally on September ZZ, 1950, we moved to the new building. We settled down to the problem: How to raise money for our trip to Washington. In October, the class became an even dozen when Janet Trexler left the class. Sally Trexler, the Vice-President, took over the duties of the President. We decided the Senior play should be the first money-rnaking scheme. The Daffy Dills was presented on December 7 and 8, 1950. On January 27, 1951, we had a bake sale. Next on the agenda, we sold greet- ing cards and Mrs. M. was pleased with our show of salesmanship. Our next activity was a supper. The mothers of the Seniors and Mrs. Glessner worked very hard to prepare this dinner. The result was a very large cash contribution to our treasury. . Naturally everybody was excited about the trip and of course, we had a few misunderstandings about baggage and ticketsg but as the saying goes, All's well that ends well, and our trip ended very well. Enjoying the prom was no problem. We loved every minute of the gala evening provided by our friends, the Juniors. Commencement and Baccalaureate were fast upon the heels of the prom. Soon an even dozen of young people were planning to use their education to the best of their ability. 19

A car--a yellow convertible is pulling up to the curb, and you'll never guess who the speed-ball is that's driving it! None other thang!-ll-y Trexler. She seems to have some companions with her. There's my 122, the famous hand model, and hi!-E Pribelsky, who sings with the Metropolitan Opera Company. All three girls are wearing stunning gowns designed DYE.-IL? I-31212 whose word ll absolutely the latest in fashions. . Dinner is being served, announces the head waiter. The group moves to their table. Everybody is here except my -I-El. No such luck! Here she conmes, mink coat and all, just in from Hawaii. There's no use loitering around this place. Not a single soul is interested in anybody except the members of the famous Cheaper by the Dozen group. No, don't bother to speak, for you won't be heard above the roar of laughter as everybody recalls the hilarious antics of the good old days.
