SENIOR PROPHECY As I was buying my ticket at the train depot yesterday, whom should I meet but my old friend, Ramona Mohler. I was more than delighted when I learned that she and I could have a whole day together, and I eagerly asked about some of my school churns. She told me first of Lois Wilson, and as I had supposed, she is happily married to Dick Dishon. They live in Columbus, and Lois is kept busy by their darling twin boys. Mary LouSnyder is working as a private secretary in Flint, Michigan. She told us all along she wouldh't be married before she was thirty, so she might make it after all. Velrna B ackus is happily married to J' ohnny Williamson and they are living in our old home town. She is the proud mother of a bouncing baby boy, named Johnny, I r. Jimmy Waldie is working in Dearborn, Michigan, and is making quite a suc- cess of himself as an engineer. Ann Williams, now Mrs. Chuck Spencer, is living in Columbus near the Port Columbus Navy Base. She has two sweet little daughters. Harry Strain is still trying to make the grade as a State Highway Patrolman. Maybe he will before too long. Jack C heetham now has his own Photographic Studio in Logan, Ohio. He is doing a fine job of it. Roy Grandy is driving a truck for his future father-in- law, Bill Neal. Ruth Ann still hasn't said YES . Io Ann Ennis has received her degree from Ohio State and is now fulfilling her ambition to be a first grade teacher. Letha Smith is now Mrs. Gerald Culbertson. They are living in Arizona, and they have two sons and one daughter. Don Brown is now full owner of a 55 Ford. He is manager of a filling station in New Lexington. Fred Auker owns his own farm near Lancaster. He also has a wife and two sons. Carolyn Howdyshell is now chief dietitian at the White Cross Hospital in C olumbus, Ohio. Q Nancy Hartman is married and has a three year old daughter. She is making her home in N ewark. Bill Rushia has become a very valuable chemist for the National Government. His course in Physics wasn't wasted after all. Ramona ended by telling me that she has a fine office job at a bank in Columbus. I caught a glimpse of a ring on her finger and I hope I get an invitation to the wedding. I told her that I had married Francis Hanning and I have a handsome son four years old. Well, this is the end of the line and we have to separate, but I hope it won't be ten years before I see you again. 13 --I, aura Louise Eckhart

SENIOR PRAYER Our small boat of life sets sail, H Sets sail on the sea of time: We trust it is weather-proof To sail in forty-nine. Gone are the days of books, Books and lessons galoreg But there are new things to discover And there are new fields to explore. The things that we have accomplished The things that I call mine We pray that they will help us To sail in forty-nine. As we emerge from the battle, We know that it's not to rest' For the job is but half-way finishedg And we pray for added zest. Now we must leave our fun, Our fun and our friends behindg We must leave our sports and our pastime For they will fade into time. Sacrifice, glory, and trouble, Trouble mixed with joy Is ever the normal life Of the high school girl and boy. We wish each other good fortune, Good fortune, good luck, and good timeg For we may ne'er meet one another After sailing in forty-nine. We shall not worry the future, Of dangers we will not paleg For they are but phantoms of darkness, And we will not fear nor fail. The future is waiting for us The past is put behind, God help us to dream of the future, And ever our faith to find. And when our life is over We pray that our mourners will find That with courage we upped the anchor To sail in forty-nine --Jack W . C heetharn 15
