Witnesses: The Senior Class EDGAR SCHLARB ROBERT VALDEMERE SHAW, CLARICE STALTER Attorney CLASS PROPHECY . ' Perched loftily on the high seat of a rickety old wagon pulled by an ancient looking horse. a despondent man proceeded slowly down a back street of the city of Cleveland. Now and then he would shriek unnecessarily at the horse, and at times would chant mechanically, letting the people know he was in the junk collecting busi- ness. The year - - - 1960. The street and the people traveling on it were typical of all places in Cleveland these days. Since Denny Milligan had been elected to the presidency of the United States on the Quemobratic ticket over Ohio Senator, Bob tNubbinJ Haver, things had gone wrong for everyone. Now and then, the man reflected, as he paused to wipe his perspiring brow, a white collered fellow could be seen around. For instance, this fellow on the back of the wagon-what did he say was the name? Rice-reporter for the Cleveland Times. He looked as if he were deep in thought. The old man had been right. Dale was deep in thought, and he was thinking his class of fifteen years ago, instead of the story he had set out to get. What had happened to that class? Strange how they had drifted during those few years after graduation. He knew very little about any of their whereabouts. There was Freda Guy, editor of the Columbus Dispatchg Norma Murphy, who taught Spanish in a Nash- ville high schoolg Lucille Thomas, first woman governor of Ohio, but beyond these- he knew very little. The persistent blowing of an auto horn brought his mind back to the present. Turning, he recognized Marcia Byrd, long distance truck driver for Veral Loader's Taller-Than-Average Modeling Agency of New York City, and he shouted to the driver of the wagon to pull over. Only last week he had read that Marcia had crashed into Margaret Burdette's Fifth Avenue Flower Shoppe in New York. But she was, it Seemed, still determined to drive. The article, Dale remembered, had named some of Vearl's more renowned Taller- Than-Average models 3 Barbara Peoples, Clarice Stalter, and Rita Bagent. ' Dale wtached the truck weave uncertainly out of sight, thanked he old man for the lift and proceeded homeward. ' Evening found Dale attending the circus--the world's largest-The Bungling Brothers. His old friends, Mark and Merle, had made quite a place in the world for themselves with this great show. The first sight which met his eyes was a huge gaudy poster showing Sampson, the Strong Man, flexing his muscles. Dale immediately recognized him as his former classmate, Lloyd Cunningham. No doubt the weights are camouflaged balloons, he said to himself. Strolling nonchalantly down the way came Joe Miller, smoking an endless chain of expensive imported cigars. Behind him trailed six little reasonable facimiles, slyly pocketingc the endless chain of cigar butts, while their mother, Francis Castile Miller, who wal ed farther behind, wasn't looking. The Millers, to Dale's point of view, weren't doing at all bad from Joe's used car business. Looking around, Dale found that he was in a gay, hilarious crowd. Everyone seemed to know everyone else-he knew few. Suddenly he found himself being led into a fortune teller's tent. and the palmister was saying, Cross my hand with silver and I will tell you the past, present, or future. And Dale, for some unexplainable reason, found himself willingly handing over his hard-earned money' and in a voice tliigtydiddt seem to be his own he was saying, Tell me the whereabouts of my class of It seemed preposterous, but suddenly she was telling him in a fast lisping voice of his friends of high school days. He listened amazed. The Dontdomery Dord Co., under the management of Bob Hursey, is having trouble again with the government. The Big Three, Kenneth Twyman, Advisor to the president, Dolores Craigo, Secretary of Labor, and President Denny, held a meeting about it last week. The country, led by Representative Annettia Schumacher, the second Clara Booth Luce, is clamouring for an explanation. The whole controversy is based upon the fact that Denny bought a suit at Dontdomery Dord's and did not pay for it. Denny, by the way, married Martha Reynolds way back in the '50's. Martha is a very active First Lady. She lectures frequently all over the world, and last spoke This page is sponsored by: H. E. LEADING, TIRE AND SUPPLY and HAFNER CUT RATE PAGE TWENTY-FIVE

Class Prophecy to the natives of Borneo on the subject of good grooming. The fact that they didn't undersand a word she said, doesn't enter in. ' Here Dale nodded, and the fortune t:ll'r conlinued, Every home now has a television radio designed by Lewis Huff. On any Sat- urday one can tune in on WWVA and hear Mable Wilson Little and her seven little Wilson Littles play old-time music. This station is managed by your old friend, Ray Early. Ulf course, for classical music one can always tune in on NBC and listen to Ruth Ellen Murphy's modern arrangement of 'Chopsticksf Pauline Verbosky tells horror stories on Station PBC. Jean Farrar, famous opera singer, can be heard in broadcasts of the Metropolitan Opera. 'John McPherson, a submarine commander, while on a secret mission for the government cracked up on the Fiji Islands last week where he narrowly escaped dis- aster. Luckily, Joan Styer, eminent woman aviator, happened to cruise by. She returned him to Mrs. McPherson, Uanicel who had been on the verge of a nervous breakdown at their home in Brazil. Here the fortune teller paused and then continued brightly. Betty 'Smith won the Kentucky Derby last week with her horse Prince, the country's favorite.. Shortly after the race, however, Prince collapsed. Radio com- mentators such as Paul Van Voorhis, Dave Robinson, and Joanne Downs, and horse critics such as Edith Golden, who owns a ranch in Nevada, remarked that they were surprised that Prince had held together that long. Edna England, continued the fortune teller, was the National Woman Cham- pion Motorcyclist of 19595 Edson Stewart is head of the New York Police Florce.

Janice Wiandt, Bonnie Hannahs, and Betty Van Scyoc pooled their resources a few years ago and bought a swanky beauty parlor in the business section of Miami, Florida. Jack Kees, famous lawyer of that city, is conducting a case ftiled by Rachel Wheeler who married the Duke of Pa Dookaj against their establishment. It seems that Rachel ordered a mud pack there one day and by mistake got plaster of paris. It was necessary for Arlene Shepherd, a sculptor of that city, to chisel it off. Anita Barnett is head of the state home for tired and retired athletes in Seattle, Washington. Employed there are nurses Helen Mewbourn and Lois Clutter. Bob Shaw, Richard Cappel, and Dean Robinson serve as ward boys. One of their most recent patients was Edgar Fisher, Manager of the Newcomers- town Sporting Goods Company. Punky, when she asked for his release, explained that their small sons were little practical jokers, and that Edgar was still quite capable of earning a living. A few of your former classmates are doing quite well in secretarial work, beamed the fortune teller.

'Hershel', for reasons unknown, played Hamil- ton and shot into the air. He was rushed to the 'Webringthembackaliven hospital in San Francisco where he was patched up by Dr. Delphine Harstine, prominent special- ist. However, it took several months for him to recover. Perhaps it was because Eloise Norman, Mary Schumacher, and Marilyn Murphy, three very capable nurses, were assi ned to his ward. Bob, by political pull, evaded the law and is now courting Peggy argentlyf' The fortune teller giggled and instantly Dale said, Doris Widder! And you're Dale Rice!! Dale Rice! Dale Rice!
