Signed, sealed, published, and declared by the Senior Class of 1933, in our presence, and we ascribe our names as witnesses to the above on the 21st day of March, in the year of our Lord, 1933. Attorney—Geraldine Hulet. Witnesses—Miss Ronchetti, Mr. Barth. Senior Prophecy As I walked into the bluish room I turned to my friend, remarking how the seances had changed since the time I was in school. At the thought of school days I decided to ask the medium about the class of 1933. Through her I learned that George Berto-lino had become a professional ball player and had just married a nurse who had been an old classmate of his. Virginia Best had just been starred by the successor of Zieg-field. Ann Cibulka had married a year after she graduated and now had two sets of twins. Nita Balestri had become an old maid and had started selling bonds in Wall street, becoming exceedingly rich. Audrey Beatty, much to everyone’s surprise, had become a famous poet overnight and was as much quoted as the Bible. Wilma Brakenhoff had entered a training school for young wives, because, although not married yet. she had hopes. Floyd Bauer had become a specialist in the treatment of worn-out farms. Mirgaret Chismar had become a famous designer under Adrian after her hard luck in marriage and divorce. Squirt Dilley had married a girl a few years younger than himself and had become a successful mine engineer. Lucille Bradley had married a widower with three children but the family had increased to eight now. Paul Engelman had entered professional football and had become more famous than “Red” Grange. Nellie Ca-roll, the wonder of this class, had become the wife of the late president and was now the highest leader in society. Rose Calcio, along with Virginia Best, had been starred in the latest production, “Welcome Spring.” LaVerne Bauman had become the teacher of American History
